  • hmmm

  • Thanks, I'm rather proud of it

  • So in the end, the only way corruption gets stopped is when other corrupt people/organizations stand to lose money on it, or even just not make as much money as they otherwise would.

  • It's surprising how often adhering to the prime directive results in genocide.

  • My understanding is that Exodus's powers are based on the belief of people around him, so when he sensed the wavering of the support of his followers, he decided he couldn't afford to wait for Colossus's verdict since he might be too weakened to act by then.

  • I guess I don't actually understand why Remy went back to his normal color but Warren stayed blue.

    Also, the idea that Val Cooper has such a hard-on for taking down the X-Men that she'd team up with X-Force is ludicrous.

  • "I was right there with a bodycam when they all tore themselves down but it was turned off for, uh, routine maintenance."

  • War criminals do get brought to justice. But it requires that their opponents fight until the war is totally won, which is not something that is often done. Most wars end in a negotiated truce. Wars like WW2 where it doesn't stop until one side surrenders unconditionally and completely submits to occupation by the other? That's less common. It happens, but not often. But when it does? Yeah, that's when you get Nuremberg trials.

  • I'm pretty sure the Black Panthers only worked because MLK was doing a good/bad cop thing.

  • The better question is why anyone would think that socialism would be considered a dirty word in the Rust Belt? If anything, they're helping him. Traditionally blue Michigan voted red in 2024 and it wasn't because Kamala Harris was too socialist.

  • hmmm

  • Do Ukraine hunt civilians? I haven't heard anything to that effect. In fact everything I have heard about Ukrainian strategy and logistics suggests to me that they'd consider that to be a waste of a drone. And Ukraine aren't doing so well in this war that they'd consider themselves at liberty to waste precious drones on killing random individual Russian civilians.

  • They were rhetorical questions meant to make you think about alternatives, and the historical examples that have worked.

    You talk about historical class struggle as if nothing short of violence has ever worked, when this is demonstrably untrue and is generally only an argument used by those who haven't the patience nor discipline to try anything else. I will reiterate: community organization is the only way forward, not vague suggestions of murder on anonymous forums to strangers. Even if violence were the answer, I wouldn't follow any movement so undisciplined as to suggest it to strangers on an anonymous public forum and think that this made it somehow safe. The world needs more than Che Guevara t-shirts.

    I wish to point out to you a very much better way – a more Christian and charitable way, which will give the lost man an opportunity of repenting. When a man takes a farm from which another has been evicted, you must shun him on the roadside when you meet him – you must shun him in the streets of the town – you must shun him in the shop – you must shun him on the fair green and in the market place, and even in the place of worship, by leaving him alone, by putting him in moral Coventry, by isolating him from the rest of the country, as if he were the leper of old – you must show him your detestation of the crime he committed.

  • That's a lot of "we" and "our". Are you a member of a community organization that's working to peacefully improve things? Have you or someone you personally know been prosecuted as a terrorist for peaceful activism?

    Before trying Michael Collins IRA stuff, you should at least attempt CS Parnell Land League stuff. Especially since you need a large percentage of the community to have already gotten organized before either form of action can hope to succeed, and that organization is easier to accomplish when you're not asking people to kill people. How many of your neighbors are you on a first name basis with? If you can't organize a community boycott then you could never hope to organize a revolution.

  • I would remind you that this comment chain began with someone suggesting that we'd "only need to lose 50 maybe 100 people". I'm under no illusions as to what was meant by that, and I'm saying that generally speaking, that sort of "solution" doesn't improve things. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss", etc.

    Force is sometimes necessary, yes, but generally speaking, the people who suggest it as a first resort before ever having gotten personally involved in attempts at other solutions, are the people who should be kept very far away from the real decision making.
