Imperialism - building an empire by exerting control over foreign powers

de jure - by law

cassus belli - cause for war

So conquering other places is okay when the law says you have a good reason to send soldiers marching down their streets?

Yes, it was, but evidence doesn't work on most people with severe depression. The disease impairs the part of your brain that processes good news. Drag understood the evidence, but drag's dragon couldn't, because it was sick. That's what depression is.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15... and you've forgotten that two things can be bad again. Drag said genocide in West Bank is bad, so you assumed drag doesn't oppose genocide in Gaza and must support Israel. It's like clockwork.

So imperialism is okay when you have a de jure cassus belli?

Drag doesn't understand what that has to do with the power of faith to fight depression.

If you want to make the effort, drag would prefer you use drag's second person neopronoun, "drag".

Drag is talking about 38 million Ukrainian lives, 3 million trans American lives, and 3 million West Bank Palestinian lives. Lives which you don't care about. Lives you are so apathetic about, you can't even see them as different from any other statistic.

These are some good arguments, you should go to Washington and present them to the DNC. This isn't Washington, this isn't the DNC, this is Lemmy. We're not the Democratic leadership, we're just a bunch of anarchists. And we don't buy your argument that you're not responsible for the consequences of your own decisions because a democrat is to blame. You should have done the right thing even if the Dems did the wrong thing. Instead, they did the wrong thing, and you decided to do the wrong thing too. You think you get a free pass because there's someone else to blame for your actions. You don't.

Let's leave aside all of Kamala's statements condemning Netanyahu and his genocide for a moment. And let's instead ask whether you're capable of perceiving the difference between one genocide and three. That difference is millions of lives. Do millions of lives matter to you, or are they just a statistic, inseparable from the thousands already dead in Gaza?

Drag voted for less genocide. You voted no preference on genocide. And you think that gives you the moral high ground, because less genocide is still genocide.

If you think we couldn't have persuaded Kamala to drop Israel's funding, if you think there's absolutely nothing we could have done to help Gaza under any circumstances, then why make Gaza your single issue? You're the one who says there's nothing we could have done. Fine, then you should have continued to do nothing for Gaza, left the fighting for Gaza to us lot, and tasked yourself with preventing the other two genocides Trump was planning on.
