And the problem with doing the right thing for the wrong reason is that next time it’s not going to be the right thing

Nice, that does address the core point. Two problems.

First, the idea that “next time it’s not going to be the right thing” has not been established at all. I mean, clearly it’s possible to do the right thing for the wrong reasons at least once, so it is not at all unimaginable that it could happen twice, three times, or as many times in a row as you’d like.

Secondly, you have given no indication what these “wrong reasons” are, in the case of Spain restricting its air space to impede the illegal assault on Iran. Is it to appease voters who are against this? Because that’s literally just how democracy works.

Except it doesn’t stop the genocide at all

So this is unrelated to the core point, but let’s talk about it anyway. This reduces the avenues America has to send military aid to Israel in the illegal assault on Iran, so it very clearly does do somehing to impede the assault on Iran. And a reduction in military aid to Israel is a step in the direction of ending the genocide, so that’s a nice extra. Although I’m not sure why we’re talking about the genocide. Even though it’s related, clearly a restricted air space to impede the illegal assault on Iran is more directly related to the assault on Iran than it is to the genocide.

Ah, so you didn’t miss the core point. So could you maybe try to address it?

That’s manifestly incorrect. A pew poll conducted in march/april 2024 found that 39% of israelis believe the actions of the IDF in Gaza were “about right”, and 34% think those actions have “not gone far enough”. I’m no mathematician, but 73% is not quite a minority afaik.

In addition, in a nation that is at least a democracy for the superior race, I think it’s fair to lay at least some of the blame on the electorate for the governments they elect. And for 77 years, every single government they have elected have committed atrocity after atrocity against the Palestinian people. I find it highly unlikely that for three quarters of a century, in a partial democracy, some minority has always won, every single time, despite the good intentions of the majority. It’s just a completely incredible narrative.

Oh, Pissraelis are affected emotionally alright. They celebrate these atrocities.

And people do feed homeless people nefariously, it’s a real problem for real people. Mixing in moulded food. Filling sandwiches with toothpaste.

You misunderstand the premise. Spain isn’t mixing toothpaste in proverbial sandwiches here. They closed their air space for air traffic intended for the illegal assault on Iran. That’s a good thing. It’s a tuna melt sandwich, no tooth paste, in the hands of the homeless.

for the wrong reason.

I don’t see why this matters to you at all. If someone feeds the homeless nefariously, then let them. The homeless are getting fed. If someone stops the holocaust because it allows them to cement their hegemony, or because they got paid for it, whatever! If it stops the holocaust, I’m happy.

You probably don’t mean to, but you’re sounding like a bit of an ignorant asshole. Were you like hangry or sth when you wrote this?

I learned sth new! Pretty funny indeed

Bootlicker

What international norm says you can’t charge people for using your territory?

The entire country is sick to its core. Death to pissrael. All of it.

And if they didn’t pollute so much

Edit: oh and the traffic accidents of course! But aside from their size, the required infrastructure, their number, the pollution, and the traffic accidents, cars are totally fine!

Edit 2: And the noise! But other than those things…

Look, each time, in the past, arguments like this existed, and each time we sent arms, the region ended up in a fucked state. But let’s not learn from history.

Given the track record of the impact this has had on the locals whenever the US has done this, however justified the dissidents’ cause, I completely agree with you. It has brought us such beauties as Suharto, Pinochet, and the silent holocaust. Glad we could find some common ground here.

Yes, the order of the guys.

No, not great. Destabilizing a region is not good for the folks who live there.

Not to get too “um actually” on this but Sputnik 1 predates Explorer 1

For context, what OP means by “cleaning” webcomics is removing artist attribution. Look through their post history. And the answer why people don’t do this is clear: because it’s an unbelievably shitty thing to do.

Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent.

This just screams mott and bailey fallacy. It is very reminiscent, for example, of transphobes complaining that they get attacked for having the gall of claiming “sex is real”. And that’s basically what happened here. You said some upsetting shitty things in the thread about the two child policy, and now you’re whining about people getting upset about it. Go touch some grass.

They’re very much first world.
