So unbelievably fucking done with this OwN tHe LiBs bullshit. Like do you want a brownie? An award for being the best Leftist? Jesus christ some of yalls have completely lost the plot.

[-] UsernameHere@lemy.lol 9 points 2 weeks ago

This is why leftists consistently lose elections.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 9 points 2 weeks ago

I'm just mad at liberals and expressing that; I'm not sure why there needs to be a plot.

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

So you're in with the enemy. Clearly.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

OP most of all.

[-] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yet people have fun making the same memes at conservatives and others of different thought. Do you hold the same stance against them?

[-] XM34@feddit.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

Oh please, if we'd hold conservatives to any values at all they would lose right now! And they'd probably throw a tamper tantrum while complaining how unfair everyone is, all while continuing to destroy every last bit of freedom we have left!

[-] Iceman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Mienshao is done considering that they might hold contradictory values.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 22 points 2 weeks ago

Bombing Yemeni pirates is not news.

Including a journalist in your war plans would be hilarious news if it wasn’t also tragic.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 15 points 2 weeks ago

Bombing Yemeni pirates is not news.

I like how you reduced the Yemeni blockade to "piracy".

[-] Mysterious_old_man@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

You're right, religious extremists is much better. They all follow the same pedophile prophet and that's the only reason they back each other

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

Fucking sigh. Religious extremists are much better than Israel's Generalplan Sud alliance, yes; good thing you realize.

[-] Mysterious_old_man@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

No actually they're both religious extremist dipshits fighting over the same worthless wasteland. If Iran wants a fight with Israel then fucking do it, hopefully they take each other out and we can get two birds at once. Don't disrupt global trade and attack random civilian ships that want nothing to do with this stupid ass religious war between fucking idiots

[-] Mysterious_old_man@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Lol good counter argument. Just sigh until people agree with you. Get a paddle and you'll be worth as much a fuck as the dipshits in congress

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, the zero state solution.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 15 points 2 weeks ago

Unauthorised people tried to board shipping with the right of innocent passage. They are pirates.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

Uh... I'm pretty sure you need to take ships for ransom or other material gain before you're considered a pirate. The Houthi blockade is just that, a blockade (definitely needs to be more targeted though), and frankly I care a lot more about opposing genocide than freedom of navigation.

Piracy consists of any of the following acts:

(a) any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of depredation, committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft, and directed:

(i) on the high seas, against another ship or aircraft, or against persons or property on board such ship or aircraft;

(ii) against a ship, aircraft, persons or property in a place outside the jurisdiction of any State;

(b) any act of voluntary participation in the operation of a ship or of an aircraft with knowledge of facts making it a pirate ship or aircraft;

(c) any act of inciting or of intentionally facilitating an act described in subparagraph (a) or (b).

United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982

The “blockade” fits detention in (a). The missiles they fired at the ships fit the violence.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

For private ends. That part is important.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago

They are being contracted by Iran to do this.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago

Uh... What do you think the Houthis are? They're an independent political entity with their own goals, ideas and people. Even if they were doing this at Iran's bidding they wouldn't be "contracted" and their goals wouldn't be private ends.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago

So your argument is that they’re independent terrorists rather than pirates?

[-] Iceman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Asks the guy whos argument is that the defacto rulers of Yemen are crew or passengers of a private ship.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh that too lmao.

[-] Fredthefishlord 2 points 2 weeks ago

Houthis are not seriously independent as compared to iran.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

Please tell me you're not trying to support the "they're being contracted" argument, because if so, like, c'mon. That aside, even if we assume they're an Iranian vassal state, okay and?

[-] Fredthefishlord 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm simply pointing out that your statement of them being independent is outright wrong.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

You know that's not what I meant. The Houthis run Yemen as its own country, not as province of Iran, ergo they're independent.

[-] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You're arguing with people I have tagged Zionist and Liberal; who have more of an issue with a slight increase in the price of global shipping, over one of the poorest countries who have been living under a US-Saudi genocide, implementing a blockade on trade with Israel for committing genocide.

The blockade ended during the ceasefire, that's all it takes to end the blockade. These people don't have smoke for the unjust blockades America does like on Cuba either. A blockade to apply economic penalties to a country for committing genocide is moral and just. Just as it would've been to blockade trade with Nazi Germany.

Plus the US and Israel are bombing Yemeni civilians

Oh no I wasn't expecting coherent counterarguments (as you alluded to, their positions are built on a fundamental disregard for human life); I just like to call out clowns on their bullshit.

[-] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 9 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not sure if its only the liberals who are like this, but it seems like the a lot of american people don't care about the destructive US foreign policy
