    Gotta love how people with power always seem to prefer pointless, performative, symbolic actions instead of doing actual helpful work toward peace.

    It’s kayfabe, because in reality, these motherfuckers support genocide as long as they can profit from it.

    Call it what it is: a sternly-worded letter.

        Why would criminals murder people when breaking and entering to rob them? mystery, there’s no profit incentive in murdering the people who live in the house you are robbing and might try to defend it, call for help, or tell everyone you robbed them

          No, most robbers come when you are on holiday and don’t murder you. Not going to follow that elaborate allegory any further but good one 👍

            you know you’re an idiotic troll, that instead of denying or even understanding the metaphor, which is apt.

            you made up a ridiculous scenario that doesn’t apply. like, are you implying that the British took over India when all the Indians went on vacation?

        The fuk. Do you think the entire global military industrial complex is running at a loss and doing it all for charity?

          It’s a pissant country, it surely cannot run the military industrial complex.

          From my European perspective it’s good to have a weapons industry: for one thing the automotive industry is fucked now and we have a need for defense because of the brave new multipolar world that some people here are so fond of.

          So pros and cons for the military industrial complex certainly. I am not fond of the military interventions of the last 20 or so years, I need to add that.

          Not having Afghanistan and not disturbing the order in the middle east would have been better.
