Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What's the point of war crimes when there's no war consequences?

[–] sirboozebum 20 points 6 months ago

There have never been consequences for Israeli crimes and ethnic cleansing.

Even now there is ethnic cleansing of the Armenian quarter in Jerusalem and Palestinian villages in the West Bank.

If you keep doing the shit we've supported you doing for the last 7 months, that could in fact ruffle some metaphorical feathers.

"Not really though, fellow corporatocracy. Fuck the proles. Pay me and I'll help you genocide coz I'm a career sociopath. Whoop whoop!!"

So my understanding is that committing war crimes doesn’t mean you “get arrested”. It’s that if you lose, you can’t just say it was war. If you had committed war crimes, you would be put to trial.
