As the control of the Senate hangs in the balance, GOP candidates across the country are facing a similar problem: Troubling and bizarre past statements, both in-person and on social media, are coming back to haunt them. But in Minnesota, Royce White is an even more extreme case.
I don’t think it’s fair to characterize global colonialist powers like Britain, France, or the US as not violent expansionists.
Don’t put words in my mouth.
I characterized the Allies actions as a defensive response. And they provably were not violently expanding during WW2. I didn’t say a word about their actions and behaviors prior to WW2.
The fuck do you suggest “good people” do facing invasion? Lay down and let the Axis steal, rape, murder, and genocide their way through Europe?
Good people fight back against bad people. Saying or doing anything less is to be complicit in their actions.
Apologies.
But if being a violent expansionist makes the axis bad (which it obviously does) then the allies are clearly just less bad in this particular situation rather than actually good, since all the allied powers have extensive histories of violent expansionism.
Thank you.
I’m not saying you don’t have a point, but the people are not their countries, their ancestors choices, or their governments, and vice versa. I fundamentally reject the premise of your argument.
