I don’t care? The Nuremburg trials aren’t the source of basic morality and ethics. They aren’t even a particularly good example of it, if you’ve actually got any familiarity with what actually happened.

Oh, are we going back to “I was just following orders” being an excuse?
Have you tried just being a goose?
It’s legitimately cool that buying a new car and having any self-respect whatsoever are mutually exclusive now.
Fuck cars.
You can plan whatever you want, it doesn’t change reality.
Have you tried just living in your cubicle and having them take rent out of your paycheck?
I don’t need to live in a place to know that heat domes, droughts, and rampant wildfires do not describe a place that’s “probably survivable.” You will not be able to live there 15-20 years from now.
Yup. Famously, no one ever created art until capitalism came around to turn it into a commodity.
Did you forget what happened there last summer?
Would you rather go back to white people invading third world countries? That’s the alternative. I sure don’t want that, you’re a shitty person if you do.
They’re a sovereign nation. What are we gonna do, launch a military invasion? And it’s not like sanctions are a realistic solution, either; the west is far more dependent on Saudi oil than the Saudis are on western money. The world is chock full of other customers that will be more than happy to step up.
Yes, pretty much everything the Saudis do is abhorrent, but unless you’re suggesting that the answer to their crimes is to commit even worse crimes against them, you’re just flailing around spouting off impotent virtue signals.
Just like in any other country, the only legitimate way to solve the problem of govenment corruption and oppression is for the people of that country to force a regime change.
Relocate? To where? The whole planet is fucked, not just the tropics.
A shitty source not being the absolute worst source doesn’t make it any less shitty than it is. If your only options for news are US government propaganda or Russian government propaganda, the only valid choice is to stop following the news.
You’re way overthinking it. He and his followers are hardcore capitalists, and to them, property crimes are the worst kind of crime you can commit.
That’s kind of the point, though. The fact that you can’t just…live in the world without participating in a destructive and exploitative economic system first is disgusting and immeasurably immoral and unethical.
Most people aren’t middle class.
You think you were, but you weren’t, because radiation doesn’t work like carcinogens do.
No, because I can refuse to sign the lease and I won’t get put in prison for that. Swearing a compulsory oath under threat of imprisonment in a sitiation you were forced to be in isn’t any kind if gesture, it’s just submission to coersion, nothing more, nothing less.
He looks like a kitten with a bad case of worms.
For one, the fact that whether someone was tried and convicted was generally not based on guilt, but whether or not they were of use to the allies or not.
Werner Von Braun was probably the most famous example, but there are hundreds of others.
