I think that leads to mindless consumerism, and I think the average person is too stupid to look out for companies with bad intentions

@everyone Daily Question 🔖
Is non-defensive military action/intervention ever justified? If so, under what circumstances?
No
Yes, anytime the USA sees it as fit.
Never
Possibly when genocide is taking place
INDIVIDUAL
Debatable at that case
Uh
Yes, whenever the nation's interests are threatened
No no no
Absolutely. Human history is determined by the most powerful overcoming their weaker adversaries, and the fact that modern civilization does not do this is simply a temporary phenomenon. War is inevitable, as it is impossible not to threaten a nation's values at all indefinitely. This, and economic or political aggression by another country, when taken to the extreme, is potential for a retaliation
Offensive war can not be justified unless your allies are being assaulted unjustly
yes, it can
it can
lets say that a region occupied by one nation contains over 90% of your nation's citizens by nationality, and they are potentially being mistreated because of it
the nation becomes hostile when asked to remedy the situation
therefore a justification to claim that region by whatever means is justified
you see, it is quite easy to tell when your neighbors, or anyone, is acting aggressive, whther it is to scare you or to literally invade you, armed conflict immidealty becomes an option. For example when Arab arms mobilized on Israel's borders in 1967 the Israeli's decided to make the first strike and bomb Egypts airforce bases to demobilize its airforce and get immideate air superiority, was it a dick move? yes but it kept it alive and that's all that matters.
hopefully my argument makes sense
I reject just war theory, so a nation can engage in military action for any reason under any circumstances
What if I told you that every time muhammad went to war it is always in response to enemy aggression?
I don’t think it is. I don’t think the well being of other peoples are necessarily our responsibility, but I doubt the long term benefits of military intervention.
It is **always** justified
AVE ROMA
i don't see how it's inherently bad
but people often tell me the irish during the latter half of the 20th century were somehow wrong for picking up the rifles to defend themselves
so you know
double standards
even tho it's sad to see human beings and their creations destroyed,war is always going to be there as long as nations have specific interests,which is almost inevitable
so I'd be in favor of countries fighting for their best interestes since going against it is beating one's head against the wall :T
Isolationism is what you need @Pino Sinatra
yeah,but how long will it last until the first asshole violates that principle and starts eating up other nations till it becomes too powerful to be stopped?
Isolationism dosent imply a weak army
Aggressive military action is necessary sometimes. But the current system can't be trusted with such intent.
@everyone Daily Question 🔖
Should there be a penalty for flag burning? If so, what, and why? Should people lose citizenship for it? What should we do with immigrants who partake in it?
