It’s the principle of it.

One of us has a morally defensible position backed with historical examples of similar events and the other doesn’t know how to even recognize a genocide is happening before his very eyes. That’s really the crux of the whole thing. You simply don’t see the wholesale slaughter of brown people as a genocide. My argument relies entirely on the moral backbone that opposing genocide is righteous. Your argument is to refuse your own eyes.

If that was your family, born behind a wall and then bombed to hell, I bet you would have a different tune. Sadly for people like you with no moral philosophy whatsoever, having no empathy for people experiencing things you don’t is pretty normal. It’s why Nazi Germany was able to do what it did. It’s why south Africa got away with what it did. It’s why the native Americans were genocided as they were. And it’s why right at this moment you fence sit a slaughter.

Of course it’s terrorism. But there is a difference between an all powerful state committing terrorism on people it doesn’t have to, and a people committing terrorism on their occupiers and genocides after having literally every other option of fighting back being removed.

You’ll nod your head to JFKs quote “those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable” and then sit on the fence when the inevitable happens. Acting like both sides are in the wrong when one side, the one with power in the situation committed to actions that everyone always knew would lead to this. I blame Israel for the death of its civilians due to palastinian terrorism.

Same as I do with the polish Warsaw ghetto uprising.

Same as I do with the IRA.

Same as I do with native American uprisings.

History is filled with noble causes resulting to terrorism due to the complete lack of any other options. It’s not great. It’s not cool. It fuckin sucks. But at the end of the day, it is ALWAYS the fault of the oppressor. Every time. Always.

While a funny quip, states are capable of terrorism. See Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo, Dresden, the blitz. Ya know I was hoping I would off the top of my head remember more than just WW2 examples, but here we are. I mean, besides Israel at the moment but that’s the topic so doesn’t really fit to the list.

Pretty normal to call a state that commits genocide a Nazi state as that’s the thing the Nazis did. That and the race mixing laws. Don’t forget it’s illegal to race mix in Israel. Ethno state, famously also a Nazi thing. This isn’t hyperbole, it’s a pretty direct comparison.

And the Nazis had a point or two as well didn’t they? Let’s break down the pros and cons of genocide, let’s not be so hasty to judge.

Unlike you, I don’t need to wait for historians to reach a consensus on the evils of my time.

Eem

Oh no, let me understand the perspective of people bombing civilians to cause them to lose faith in the local militia group for the sake of colonization and conquest. I’m sure they have a good reason.

Gottem

What else do you call the bombing of civilians.

Ramificate Deez nuts

How do you avoid personally attacking someone who so personally holds up their “I am evil” sign? Like, if I say “go fuck yourself” to the comment I’m responding to them I’m just going to get deleted for incivility. But the man is praising an invasion by a genocidal regime and I’m kinda fuckin tired of being forced to be civil with someone so incapable of civility themselves.

No, they’re saying you can’t guarantee who has a pager at any given time, which might include children. And it did include children. Who died.

Well, children were killed. So. Seems you were doing that.

You got me on the first one. Artifact is definitely an exception to what I said.

As for the 2nd question, you emulate old systems.

Blame devs for not creating a system for custom servers, not valve who’s games do have those systems.

Boo hoo, someone say too many slurs on the forums?

Except they have proven this so far to be accurate. Games that have long since been removed from sale are still downloadable for people who purchased them at the time. Which is more than others can say.

In the unlikely event of the discontinuation of the Steam network,” Valve reps have said, “measures are in place to ensure that all users will continue to have access to their Steam games.”

In the United States you are correct, you cannot patent game mechanics.

Nintendo is a Japanese company. They basically wrote their own laws on how IP works in the country.
