As a Lego German, I approve 😄

..ok? 🤷

I was referring to the fungible nature of oppression, assuming that you're against oppression itself rather than just the specific oppressors who may or may not find out.

My apologies for the misunderstanding if you do NOT in fact care whether or not oppression will be decreased as a result of this fresh batch of war crimes.

It can be a just cause and terrorism at the same time.

For example, Nelson Mandela and others used textbook terroristic tactics to defeat the SA Apartheid regime, making them terrorists.

Whether or not the objectively just ends justify the means in the cases of South Africa, Palestine, and other oppressed is separate from whether or not the means qualify as terrorism.

For the record, I don't personally believe that terrorism is justified when there's any other way to fight back against your oppression, but am with you in not condemning the oppressed when there isn't.

Also, the military actions of Israel and the US in the Middle East are themselves textbook cases of state terrorism, which this will ALSO be an increase of.

That's not how it works. Oppressors dethroned by US meddling (whether military, intelligence, or a combination of both) will always be replaced by other oppressors and/or civil war sooner or later.

There's literally no upside to this imperialist mess for regular people of any involved country.

SUPER lucrative for arms dealers, mercenaries, and the politicians they own, though.

Hmm.. Good point 🤔

Unless your fingers are as mangled as his. Then it's not so easy to drive..

That might be slightly inconvenient for his particular ambitions 🤔

Can't decide which of these fit best:

It's like a glass half empty/half full, excess it's still a glass of piss.

Yeah, the best way to make a bad movie good is to make it into a farce*, whether on purpose or not.

Examples include: Crossroads, Commando, The Room

*though there are of course truly great (and usually criminally underrated) movies that were farces on purpose from the start

You think THAT'S an unpopular opinion? I personally think that they should never even have made the first one.

Same week they started or ideally the one before that? 🤷

Those were the days!
