tower time posted:European powers also had an agreed upon interest in not purposely maiming without killing each other's soldiers, something that was once considered a valid tactic of war as it would remove the soldier from the field and also burden the enemy nation's resources in then providing for that soldier. WW1-era gas was significantly more likely to maim than kill (once soldiers were outfitted with gas masks and other equipment fatality figures for mustard gas dropped to about 2% by british estimates) incapacitating soldiers for several weeks with trouble breathing and painful blisters in the short term, and scarred throat tissue and neurological damage in the long term. Survivors were a financial burden on the military and the state compared to those who simply died to bullets or artillery, and people interacting with maimed survivors might be less willing to fight or support the state in a future conflict. That’s been inverted now that the interest is in minimizing KIA has lead to blast injuries creating amputees and TBIs while the frag vest keeps the troop alive.

cargo cult posted:glenn greenwalds had some pretty interesting takes on immigration himself You mean this? http://glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/2005/11/gop-fights-itself-on-illegal.html?m=1 quote:That was a 6 yrs ago: 3 weeks after I began blogging, when I had zero readers. I've discussed many times before how there were many uninformed things I believed back then, before I focused on politics full-time - due to uncritically ingesting conventional wisdom, propaganda, etc. I've written many times since then about how immigrants are exploited by the Right for fear-mongering purposes. I'm 100% in favor of amnesty, think defeat of the DREAM Act was an act of evil, etc. That said, I do think illegal immigration is a serious problem: having millions of people live without legal rights; having a legal scheme that is so pervasively disregarded breeds contempt for the rule of law; virtually every country - not just the U.S. insists on border control because having a manageable immigration process is vital on multiple levels. But that post is something I wrote literally a few weeks after I began blogging when nobody was reading my blog; it was anything but thoughtful, contemplative, and informed, and - like so many things I thought were true then - has nothing to do with what I believe now. why are libs always so disingenuous

quote:In my opinion Regime supporters are the most despicable beings you can ever engage with in a conversation. They are ideologues woven by fascist rhetoric and are often quite violent when confronted with facts. I had a Lebanese guy almost lunge at me with a knife in hand before being kicked out in bar because I confronted him with facts. They are pretty much akin to engaging with Skin-heads/GoldenDawn/Brown Shirts in conversation. The only exception is that the older generation whom support the regime do not have the strength to physically brawl with you so they will call you names instead. tfw assadists turn into the incredible hulk upon being confronted with facts
