Google breadlines during the Depression

Marushia Dark

Fun fact, the U.S. had six major depressions (not just recessions) prior to the Great Depression and all of them (including the Great Depression) can be traced back to govt tampering with the money supply in some way.

Since you're stuck on word-thinking, let me put it this way. You're either pro-individual liberty or you're pro-collectivist control.

Actually, morality exists a priori the State. The State is just an institution that (at least in theory) enforces it.

@Storin Moral philosophy exists independent of organized religion

Marushia Dark
2019-10-16 23:11:33 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]  

@Storin Having studied law, I would agree with you except in this: there's a technical difference between law and statute. The technical definition of law, as used in that domain, refers to moral order (do as thou will, but harm none), as opposed to statute, which is the arbitrary whim of a legislator

Marushia Dark
2019-10-16 23:12:38 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]  

@Spooky Melon There's a difference between the military and the military-industrial complex in the same where there's a difference between self-defense and serial murder.

"oh, so to defend the homeland, we should never leave our soil, and instead wait for our enemies to be larger and stronger than us before they attack."

Basically, yes. It's the NAP applied to nations. You don't pre-emptively punish people

2019-10-16 23:15:52 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]  

I should clarify, we should also be building up OUR forces, but AT HOME, not abroad. Keep the biggest stick, but speak softly

We beat ISIL and now we're drawing down, unlike previous admins who continuously embroiled us in deeper conflicts we should never have been in. It's like Trump walked into a house that was already on fire and is like, "Well shit, I've gotta put this out, but then turn the hose off when there's no more fire."

Let's take your example of nukes. Everyone was worried about North Korea, right? And Iran? Let's supposing one of these regimes actually manages to take out a city. Well, we will drop the sky on them and leave their entire country a smoking irradiated, barren crater for the next five thousand years. They know it, we know it. It's why the Cold War never turned hot, and it's why - coupled with the fact that we can shoot down ICBMs - that an all-out nuclear war is unlikely to happen.

Marushia Dark
2019-10-16 23:22:57 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]  

@Spooky Melon Which country are you referring to exactly? Doesn't matter if they have nukes if they have no reason to use them, now doesn't it? UK and France have nukes, but they're our allies. NK has nukes, but if they make peace with SK and agree to leave Japan and the US alone, neither side has beef, so why do we care at that point?

"it's not about bombing America; it's about bombing an ally of america under treaty requiring america to respond in turn"

And that entanglement of alliances is what actually led to WWI being more than just a spat between the Austrians and the Slavs

@Spooky Melon Basically, yeah. Our intervention in WWI led to the rise of the Nazis and the commies in WWII:

Setting aside whether FDR actually knew in advance about Pearl Harbor, you could argue we were attacked first by Japan and were justified in retaliating. The Empire of the Rising Sun was actually quite ruthless and fanatical compared to the Japanese of today. They were a lot like ISIL in their tactics of beheadings, kamikazing, and terror.

Marushia Dark
2019-10-16 23:29:53 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]  

You do realize that most of the actual atrocities of the Nazis - such as the Holocaust - weren't actually discovered until more or less AFTER the war was already won, right? Like IIRC, it was the Red Army who first found the camps (and they weren't entirely trustworthy after incidents like Katyn).

Marushia Dark
2019-10-16 23:30:29 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]  

Basically, yeah

Marushia Dark
2019-10-16 23:30:53 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]  

@ManAnimal Hence why I said, for sake of argument, I'm putting that aside

Should also point out that, in WWII, the Allies bombed about as many cities of innocent civilians as the Axis did. So, we're hardly the heroes in that regard

Marushia Dark
2019-10-16 23:33:35 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]  

Dresden, Berlin, Tokyo ... we bombed places that weren't even strategic military targets, mostly out of spite. In any other context, we'd be calling it a war crime

Marushia Dark
2019-10-16 23:35:10 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]  

We also did a lot of shit to provoke both Japan and Germany into declaring war on us as well, let's be honest
