doesn't the notion of illegitimate war go back at least to christianity?
pre-liberalism
> see, america hasn't actually waged war, ever
@stem gives that statement even more validity
how do you mean?
oh you mean sanctioned wars
God Bless the UN and human rights
just war theory
Based username
yes the rules of war were developed in the early modern period
you can only go to war if it's against evil
and shit
which is basically the american way
1. Do not harrass, threaten, dox, or share private information from people of the server or outside of the server.
which is convenient because "evil" is very vague
i fell harrassed
demand action
yes you're right, religion had its own sort of legitimacy system
but that was punctuated by periods of standardized warfare
against that weak greek sense of humor
@Panikooooos germans be like
whenever you see the 'legitimation' of war
you see the worst atrocities
and the least regard for civilians
because they're not just enemies
but Germans
Combatants
they're ***illegitimate*** enemies
so what ever sick Sargon fantasizes is justified
so the just war theory basically encourages countries to make up excuses and lie
Anyone heard of project 100,000. The US sent actual retards in to fight the frontlines
Sargon of Akkad is an intellectual
and disrespect the rules of war, yes stem
you don't have to follow the rules of war and common decency if your enemies are not 'real' enemies
because they cheated first, they're not legitimate enemies, so the rules don't apply
so you end up with lindy england pictures of human pyramides
(then the rules never apply)
(because ALL your enemies are illegitimate enemies <:ahem:639979147782914084> )
