under any coherent definition of “whataboutism”, it would mean saying “any crimes against humanity committed by the North Korean government don’t matter, because of [something an unrelated regime did]”.

instead, I was responding to @Marsupial@quokk.au, who was saying that the US invading North Korea wouldn’t make the citizens’ lives any worse – to which, talking about the history of how US invasions have affected people seems, I don’t know, extremely relevant?

unless your comment is meant to be satire about how “whataboutism” is coming to mean “any criticism of the US government whatsoever”, in which case it’s a beautiful job 👏

just like the neutral-to-positive impact caused by some good ol’ apple pie war crimes in Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc…?

what if we had records of contemporary US top military leaders saying the exact opposite, would you stop cheerleading for mass slaughter then?

because, in an amazing coincidence…

While a majority of Americans may not be familiar with this history, the National Museum of the U.S. Navy in Washington, D.C., states unambiguously on a plaque with its atomic bomb exhibit: “The vast destruction wreaked by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the loss of 135,000 people made little impact on the Japanese military. However, the Soviet invasion of Manchuria … changed their minds.”…

Seven of the United States’ eight five-star Army and Navy officers in 1945 agreed with the Navy’s vitriolic assessment. Generals Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur and Henry “Hap” Arnold and Admirals William Leahy, Chester Nimitz, Ernest King, and William Halsey are on record stating that the atomic bombs were either militarily unnecessary, morally reprehensible, or both.

No one was more impassioned in his condemnation than Leahy, Truman’s chief of staff. He wrote in his memoir “that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender …. In being the first to use it we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages.”

MacArthur thought the use of atomic bombs was inexcusable. He later wrote to former President Hoover that if Truman had followed Hoover’s “wise and statesmanlike” advice to modify its surrender terms and tell the Japanese they could keep their emperor, “the Japanese would have accepted it and gladly I have no doubt.”

Before the bombings, Eisenhower had urged at Potsdam, “the Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.”

“unfortunately, there was just no way around it - they built their own weapons instead of buying them for billions each from Lockheed Martin, so the US government just had to murder hundreds of thousands of their civilians” said Spacemanspliff, ruefully taking a toke in memorial of the people who’d chosen to become victims of war crimes

I assume bigotry based on “plural” (multiple identities) in the twitter profile

I hope the ghosts of hundreds of thousands of murdered Japanese civilians haunt you for the rest of your life. thank fuck even the post-1945 US government isn’t as bloodthirsty for war crimes as you are

because it’s doing free advertising for exploitative corporations

“inconvenience me and I might murder you with my car” I hope you’re getting a lot of money from the oil tycoons in exchange for being one of their brownshirts

housing cooperatives

social housing

banning private rental so that more people can afford to buy.

in approximately that order of priority

publicly operated social housing, like in semi functional parts of the world outside the US and UK

just come out and say “with white English” and stop beating around the bush

anyone who owns a small business, instead of running it as a co-operative, has made at least one antisocial decision.

anyone whose “small business” involves potentially making people homeless has made at least one more.

Calling this sexual assault doesn’t help anyone, and actively harms victims of actual sexual violence.

what “actively harms victims of sexual violence” is gatekeeping the definition of it, and normalising nonconsensual intimate physical acts. maybe spend some time researching the “real rape” myth, and its impact on reporting, investigation, and conviction rates.

Yes, we can see he did that. Yes, she said that afterwards. She showed no signs of it at that moment.

1. please explain what kind of “sign” you are thinking of.

2. please then make an earnest attempt to empathise: you are in a public situation, your boss, who has an immense amount of control over your future career, makes an unwanted sexual advance. how confident do you feel enacting the “sign” in point #1

3. please then rate, on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is “not at all convincing” and 10 is “completely convincing”, the “sign” in point #1, and the public statement after the fact that the kiss was not consensual, in terms of you believing that Hermoso did not consent. in rating the public statement after the fact, please bear in mind the risks of the public statement to Hermoso (including the lawsuit mentioned in this article, the potential career damage in point #2, and the potential harm that thhe player is likely to cause to people who have experienced sexual assault, were she to be discovered to have been lying about not consenting)

all 3 of the suggestions work as all those parts of speech (“how do I bedazzle my desktop”, “check out my bedazzle”).

If English is your second language then fair enough, otherwise wow what a skill issue

sadly of course “pcmasterrace” went the other direction, polling a bunch of self-selected edgelords about the name went about as expected

evidence points to “Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements” being a “backronym”, an abbreviation that was invented after the word was already in usage – have you ever heard anyone calling an american or european car a “rice”?

anyway, happily the c/unixporn moderator didn’t agree that it’s possible for people not targeted by a racist term to reclaim it for themselves, and that it’s not the responsibility of folks pointing out a word’s bigoted history to find an alternative, and racist terminology is now banned 😌
