They should be killing him on sight, but instead, they are sucking his dick and thanking him for it!

War criminal visits with child rapist, and everybody is cool with that. What a timeline!

I'm a bit tickled at folks on here howling over Putin's visit, when we've had American Presidents kissing the Saudi ring for my entire life without this much fuss. Of course, nobody dares put Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud on an ICC warrant. So I guess there's some difference.

War criminal visits with child rapist, and everybody is cool with that.

The Democrats will say this is the worst thing ever. Then Trump leaves office and we send Pete Buttigieg in. And if anyone dares suggest Mayo Pete kowtowing to Benjamin Netanyahu is uncouth, the NYT and the WaPo will scream about antisemitism for a month.

It's the most normal thing in the world for two countries full of war criminals to collaborate.

Didn’t work in the Nuremberg trials, so why should it matter here. Some people just like licking boots.

Don’t you see, we SS men were not supposed to think about these things; it never even occurred to us. . . . We were all so trained to obey orders without even thinking that the thought of disobeying an order would simply never have occurred to anybody, and somebody else would have done just as well if I hadn’t. . . . I really never gave much thought to whether it was wrong. It just seemed a necessity.

Fucking ruzzian loving sea lion spotted....

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[5][6][7][8] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate",[9] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.

Ignorant comment. Fuck America, but not from your perspective. It is deplorable, but the people have been cultivated to be ignorant and malleable. It's deeply flawed, but it's system is rigged to beat everyone down and break their collective will.

Those of us who stand up are divided constantly. We're undermined at every turn. We are marginalized for speaking the truth. Our spirits are broken by the weight of ineffectiveness sold to us as Democracy.

American Exceptionalism is taught from birth and is fully unfounded. There was a time decades ago when the national anthem would give me goosebumps, but now I know that was not excitement. It was subconscious fear of something yet to emerge.

You obviously don't live here. This is my personal resounding "fuck you" while completely mirroring your words. You have no inkling of which you speak. What you would have us do is nigh impossible.

Our only hope is that a unifying event will de-polarize our population and unify our resolve.

While we stand divided we shall fall united.

Fuck you.

It's always saddening to see people regurgitatating the kind of jingoistic rhetoric alt-right parties the world over rely on, as some kind of edgily scathing indictment of just american culture. If an american were to discount everyone from a culture like this, it'd be quite rightly called out as unacceptable. Why is the same behavior somehow acceptable just because it's perceived as turnabout? Doesn't that paint them as identical in rhetoric, but somehow even more bitter in motivation? Just disappointing...

"I don't like genocide so I want to advocate for genociding an entire country made up of a significant amount of refugees"

Bro what

There is no advocting for genocide in that comment. "Fuck you" isn't genocide.

Yeah but fuck all of the refugees that primarily make up American citizens, who mostly were fleeing dictatorships and horrible rulers. Virtually every American I know has roots in refugee status. That's part of why other countries dislike it so much - because they protected the people they wanted to literally kill. And I can start listing everyone I know and their US immigration story if you want - but we are a nation of refugees, of brave people who stood up for themselves, of people who defied tyrants. Just because online is full of trash and our political system has been ursurped, doesn't mean the average citizen is at fault or bad. Obviously.

As I'm reading these comments on 'Let's Boycott America because of the ties to Russia," I have to wonder, how many Canadians are still buying from U.S. Amazon?

Aedis@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y (1 reply)

What does that even have to do with it? Are you saying you can't be halfassed about boycotting? Like either you boycott 100% or not at all? Or is this just some nonsense whataboutism?

breecher@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y

I mean there is no good reason not to boycott Amazon in every way possible.

kent_eh@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1y

Amazon is one of the many American things that increasing numbers of Canadians are boycotting.

Whoa, the calls for assassination… this isn’t Reddit for sure.

I guess this is an extreme view on Lemmy, but I’d want my country to host pretty much any war criminal for talks on US soil. Kim Jong Un, Netenyahu, terrorist leaders, cartels, Russias even more violent oligarchs, anyone, just like I’d want a president to risk negotiating on their soil, given the opportunity.

Peaceful negotiation without being ambushed is a human right. It’s building a dialogue for very little cost other than pride. If people want to talk, talk.

Of course don’t validate them with repeated nothingburgers, but still.

Now, how the president behaves and what they negotiate is critical here. This is not an excuse to leave licking a killer's boots.

Hubi@feddit.org · 22 pts · 1y (4 replies)

I certainly wouldn't mind having the US host talks between two conflict parties. But just compare the whole thing to the meetings with Zelenskyy. The US has very obviously picked a side and it's honestly disgusting what is happening here.

brucethemoose@lemmy.world · -7 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Right. Of course.

But calling for assassination of Putin during an ostensibly diplomatic meeting is, uh, a lot. I guess it’s within the rules of this instance, but still.

Hubi@feddit.org · 9 pts · 1y

Oh, that's what you meant - you're right. I'm pretty sure this kind of speech wouldn't be allowed on reddit.

Literally advocating for a war crime, ironically enough.

Killing diplomats or those on diplomatic missions has been beyond the pale for almost every civilization since forever.

FelixCress@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

We are talking about a war criminal here, not diplomats.

breecher@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 1y

There is no negotiating going on, because that would involve Ukraine. This is just two criminals having a secret meeting about what crimes they will do next, and they should both be arrested on the spot.

It is a military base. They are not going to let event planners come with their own staff, only the soldiers can do this work.

The calls for murder of Putin and/or Trump are so stupid and emotional reactions. Killing a foreign diplomat is neither easy nor profitable. People really think killing Putin would stop the war, it won’t. It might actually legitimise the war for Russian public. And why kill him while he is on a peace discussion summit? Don’t you want the war to end?

Aqarius@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Of course not - Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. Have you not seen that move with the IDF Woman? The only way to end war is to kill everyone you don't like! Peace just means you have to go to war again later to finish the job!

npdean@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I literally understood zero of what you said. I am not aware of any of the things you mentioned. I don’t even know if you are being sarcastic

Aqarius@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I am.

"Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy" is point 9 from Umberto Eco's "Ur-Fascism" essay. It goes together with point 11, where the idea of a permanent war is manifested as a cult of death. It's short, and an excellent read.

The move is the first new Wonder Woman, staring Gal Gadot, where the plot is WWI, and follows her trying to kill Ares, God of War, who is responsible for the war. In the plot twist, Ares is revealed to be a diplomat working on an armistice, because (I am not making this up) "when you make peace, you can go to war again, so, really, negotiating peace is warmongering", and apparently nobody stopped to think through the implication that we now see unfolding in Gaza.

It's a constant thread I see ever more strongly in "the discourse": there is no disagreement, there is no compromise, there is no negotiation with terrorists - you are either to destroy the enemy, or die trying. Well, have other people die for you, anyway.

This is the part that most people miss when they support wars in foreign lands.
