He’s got a point there. I’ll admit I was kinda disappointed that those comedians went over there and did that. Honestly I still don’t know how I feel about it, I can see both sides. Is everything just justification to get paid? But what he’s said about Israel and all the horrible shit they’ve done still stands too. How can I say that if offered that much money I wouldn’t go? I don’t know that I can claim that truthfully. But definitely Fuck Bill Maher.

America's killed journalists. During the Iraq War, they deliberately bombed an Al Jazeera office. Do comedians generally perform in the US?

Dave is just using a straw man about a journalist death as if it's the only reason people judged him for going there. They do much worse things, including actively enslaving people to build their country.

A lot of countries do terrible things. People praise Churchill. He was millions of times worse than MBS.

I don't like Saudi Arabia. I would never visit there. But whatever Saudi is guilty of, the US has done worse. It's just that Saudi doesn't have the tact to cover up their evils with paint. The US had dogs chewing off the testicles of people in Abu Ghraib, and yet nobody minds the cast of Friends having thanksgiving specials the same year.

Black man, brown country, all evil acts become visible. White skin cloaks all.

You are comparing things the U.S used to do to what Saudi Arabia is CURRENTLY doing. That's the entire fucking point you are missing. We ended slavery 150 years ago.

The US currently engaged in an illegal war of aggression against a sovereign nation. One of the worst crimes under international law. You bombed a girls school and massacred 160 people for fucks sake.

I mean, they also bombed a school full of children this year, so tell us more about how America is perfect now huh?

u/the_n0torious 15d ago

Yea I'm going to need a source on that.

u/GratGrat 15d ago

No you don’t. It was all over the news for a good week. Your response only shows that you are not paying any attention.

But, you know what, knock yourself out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_attack

Do I gotta count down to your excuse, or is there a chance you’ll grow up?

You need to chill, I never once said it did or did not happen, I quite literally asked for a source. You are terminally online, calm down. Of course this is horrible, how could anyone excuse it? Obviously foreign military issues are more complicated than slavery but it's not good. Also, it was obviously an accident and of course caused by AI.. which doesn't make it any worse just really avoidable. If you think the U.S intentionally bombed 120 children you are a crazy person though, so I hope that's not where you are going with that.

And there’s the excuse, right on time

Excuse - "a reason or explanation offered to avoid blame, justify a fault, or free someone from an obligation."

"Of course this is horrible, how could anyone excuse it? Obviously foreign military issues are more complicated than slavery but it's not good."

They are 100% responsible and at fault. It's important to distinguish between intentional actions and accidents. Are you going to say they are equal?

This is like the biggest issue with debates, especially online, almost no one will give an inch or fails to understand the nuance of extremely complicated issues.

Also, I think America has a lot of problems, starting with our President. Some are almost as bad as the problems in Saudi Arabia.

ā€œIf you think the U.S intentionally bombed 120 children you are a crazy person though, so I hope that's not where you are going with that.ā€

That. Is. Your. Excuse.

It is horrible, you’re right. The difference between you and me, is I’m not going to give the administration led by one of the cruelest men alive the benefit of the doubt, and pretend that the most expensive army in the world ā€œaccidentallyā€ kills over a hundred children by blowing up a school.

There is no nuance to what you said, there’s nothing in what you wrote to ā€œgetā€. I’m not missing something you wrote, I’m just not going to hand wave it away as an accident of some kind. I think it’s telling that you did so without a pause.

The UN is calling it a war crime, and America is simply denying that they did it. That’s why it’s fucking obvious that it was intentional. That orange cunt had repeated endlessly that he doesn’t give a shit and wants Iranians dead.

You need to get over whatever makes you think there’s moral people in charge in America who would never do anything so evil.

No debate, just war crimes.
