youth crime was a pretty big talking point for national in last year’s election (new zealand), so yeah those brainworms are here too now but idk if they’re an invasive australian species or a similar native one since I don’t know how the emergence of those narratives lined up chronologically.

lmao i think i had the exact same guesses as you

“Intent” may signify an action taken with a purpose to achieve a given result, but the term includes as well an action taken with awareness that a given result will follow. The additional intent for genocide is a state of mind that accompanies the requisite acts. In that regard, it is unlike the intent required under a criminal statute prohibiting, for example, assault with intent to kill, where the actor assaults while anticipating a harm to the victim beyond the harm involved in the assault. The additional intent for genocide relates instead to what is anticipated to result from the underlying act. The act is part of the destruction of the group of which the victim is a member. The District Court of Jerusalem, in convicting Adolf Eichmann of genocide, explained that “the people, in whole or in part, is the victim of the extermination which befalls it in consequence of the extermination of its sons and daughters.” (A-G v. Eichmann, Judgment 1961 ¶190) The group, in other words, becomes a secondary victim upon performance of the act.

i dont think most of the ‘big’ fast food chains taste as bad as people make them out to be, but then again not american so ymmv

the ledditeur narrative right now is a stab in the back myth ft. the republicans lol

furr is a 2010s tankie meme, we shouldn’t need him to defend stalin. i agree.

there’s something to be said for the irony of nationalists calling queer acceptance western ‘d*generacy’ when homo/transphobia can pretty clearly be causally ascribed in some capacity to the imposition of western values

persica is such a vibe tbh

vaush is online internet ml’s trump lmfao

I’m referring more to the fact that Russian/Soviet designed armour is easier to produce than Western AFVs. I could be wrong on this though. I suppose the framing on this is wrong since yes NATO does have more assets deployed but I view it more in the sense that Russia should have better replenishment/manufacturing throughput measured by units produced. I appreciate your perspective though, you have a point.

oh yeah, bret devereaux. take a lot at his twitter bio lmfao, emphasis mine:

Ancient & military historian specializing in the Roman economy and military. PhD @UNChistory. More impressive credential is that I have beaten Dark Souls.

The moment we’re at war is the moment we turn into a war economy as well (like what happened during WW2) and all resources will be put into manufacturing war equipment.

We do actually. Manufacturing jobs were eliminated by automation but the US is A massive part of global manufacturing, with reports putting it between 16 and 22% of the total world manufacturing capacity. And we do that with 8% of our labor force. In virtually every armed operation in the last 40 years, the US’s allies have run out of ammo, but we were able to pick up the slack and keep guns firing, without even having to divert civilian manufacturing. The coal mines are still open, the factories are still running, they just don’t need more than a skeleton crew to meet demand. The giant doesn’t even need to wake up, he can suffocate the world in bombs in his sleep.

redditeurs convinced the US is still capable of WW2 level industrial output lol
