But why do you want it all without normal processes?

You’re missing the point. Plenty of Americans do have ancestry that allows them to claim citizenship (and therefore easily immigrate) somewhere or another, so the first thing an American trying to immigrate will be told is to check for that. Making it clear they can’t do that is important so they can get advice they can actually use.

Yes, as opposed to all those super democratic capitalist third world countries.

I mean obviously not, but either way it’s not an act of hate, racism, xenophobia or fascism. It’s the whole war crime part that’s problematic, is my point.

Uh I don’t think “praise be to Allah” is an act of hate, racism, xenophobia and fascism, but also if the goal is to “push the bar back to where it belongs” then clearly it’s not working. Maybe consider doing something about the hate, racism, xenophobia and fascism?

I mean no? Obama was evil as fuck, but at least in terms of raw numbers Trump has him beat. Biden would be a more realistic comparison.

And Afghan weddings, don’t forget Afghan weddings.

Have you thought about the sheer retardation of modern copyright law today?

Oh you’re right I did.

FYI, when you block someone on the Fediverse you simply stop being able to see their comments and posts. They can still see and interact with anything you post.

Did you really draw a whole world map just for this? Respect, man/woman/compadre.

Damn it.

Wow that sounds nice. Where do I donate?

Considering Russia’s continued stance on LGBTQ, and to a lesser extent China’s (though I believe this is improving), I’ll take the US’s evil empire hegemonic influence over the latter in that matter.

America killed nearly five million people and displaced forty million in the War on Terror alone but I guess that’s better than the evil homophobic Chinese. Relevant.

ignoring the actions of the other imperialist nations, is a weak take.

I’m not ignoring them; they just (despite also being evil as fuck) don’t come close to the sheer magnitude of atrocities inflicted by the US in recent history.

AfD are the Nazis; CDU are the Center Party. Historically we know how this goes. You even have the SPD royally fucking up again if anyone wants more of a hint.

Dude’s literally just called “Hungarian.” John English-ass name.

Uh… Okay? I could argue with a lot of what you just said, but on a more fundamental level, so what? We don’t judge Nazi Germany based on how nice it was to ethnic Germans, nor the British Empire based on how nice it was to British citizens; we judge them for their treatment of Jews and Indians. In a similar vein, I honestly don’t give a shit how nice America is within its own borders when, during the period of “morality and higher goals” you’re talking about, it perpetuated atrocities and mass murder from Argentina to Indonesia and from South Africa to Iraq. All the improvements you listed only apply in America itself, not to the hundreds of millions subjugated by the wider American Empire; if you include the latter Russia can’t even begin to compare to the scale of evil America has been perpetuating for generations. You might not notice this, but your argument boils down to “the evil empire was nice to me for a bit which made it good.”

TL;DR: The people being brutally murdered don’t care about their murderers’ morality and aspirations.

I mean, this was a rebel fighter. You’d kinda expect those guys to hate Gaddafi.

Not to carry water for Gaddafi, but do they? Gestures at Western housing crisis.

So, would you say Russia is legitimate in striking infrastructure like power plants which are mostly used for civilian purposes but might power military buildings as a small percentage of their use?

For starters nothing Russia does in this war is legitimate because the war itself is illegitimate, but that aside: No, because as you said there’s no proportionality. Depriving civilians of power—a human right—is not proportional to cutting off power from a military building that likely has emergency power anyway.

Would Iran be justified, if it had a nuclear weapon, of dropping it on Tel Aviv, wiping out the civilian population alongside the Israeli Air Force headquarters?

See above, the lives of civilians are paramount. The difference between data centers and these examples is that Amazon data centers aren’t necessary for any human rights, nor are they particularly important for civilian life. It’s little damage to civilians for little military gain. If you have five empty luxury resorts and one military headquarters and can’t distinguish between them (or all six are alternately used as military headquarters at random times), I’d say it’s a fair decision to bomb all six. It’s analogous to a factory that makes 90% shoes and 10% bullets. I also want to emphasize the importance of these facilities—AI-based targeting produces orders of magnitude more targets than human intelligence officers, allowing for orders of magnitude more strikes. When you’re running a mass bombing campaign, running out of things to bomb is legitimately a thing that happens.

American tech companies provide cloud computing and AI services to both the US and Israel, and obviously these services work through data centers, meaning that some data centers somewhere are legal targets, but it’s impossible to know which. I’d argue that this makes all data centers run by relevant companies for cloud computing and similar services valid military targets.

Since when was fucking Israel a guide on how to conduct legal war?!? Christ.

No no, as in: Israel also uses AI assisted targeting like America.
