Ewan posted:Launching/starting a war of aggression is a crime under international law. Just because it relates to starting a war does not make it a "war crime". War crime is a term for a category of crimes which are committed during the state of war (whether international armed conflict or non-international armed conflict). This distinction is important. The classic Nuremberg quote on the matter is "To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole" note that they say other war crimes, I.e. it's itself war crime.

MikeCrotch posted:I like how in these days of Trump and Brexit people think "gotchas" like this have any value with the public Those things only benefit the evil fuckers not the good guys. Same reason people saying "well brexit happened and Trump won so maybe corbyn will win in an upset" are sadly wrong. Also I had a glance at some of the papers today and it's funny seeing the right wing rags spin Mays disastrous meeting with Juncker as the EU trying to trick her but she stands up for plucky Britain. We're hosed for a long time. People are gonna guzzle that shite down.

This is a bad enough morning without people responding to flaps. Labour might have made some progress with a leader willing to promise not to fix anything and who got in bed with the papers but every party apart from the Strong and Stable leadership got destroyed which was a totally predictable outcome given the media narrative surrounding this election.

Turnout in the general will be increased and will probably just result in more Tory votes because we live in the Armageddon-by-stupidity timeline.

The One Crazy Trick that the Tories are effortlessly managing and labour never can is you don't publically fight each other and don't badmouth your leader. It's electoral cyanide EVERY time. Even Tony Blair who was very Hardline about this rule has broken it constantly since he was given the boot.

nothing to seehere posted:Oh it's just a closed-room exam, so I should be frantically revising my lecture notes right now for tomorrow morning... but I'm here instead. I'm sure it will be fiiiiine. I'm now 7 years out of Uni and going back into education to go on a different track, I'd advise revising like an hour a day a month before your stuff. Thats what I've been doing for this course and it works much better than my Uni plan of "do no revision, half-heartedly cram and get distracted by drugs and going mental about friends and the opposite sex". Mind you that was all pretty interesting too, so I'll stop being old at you. - I don't know if its been mentioned but I like that in response to her flipflop on the Dementia Tax May has now started using Trumps "Fake news! Fake news!" defence. quote:“Since my manifesto was published, the proposals have been subject to fake claims made by Jeremy Corbyn. The only things he has left to offer in this campaign are fake claims, fear and scaremongering,” she said, during a speech in Wrexham to launch the Welsh Tory manifesto. Its probably reading too much into it but it would be funny if May turns out to be a genuine pathological liar like Trump.

Gonzo McFee posted:There's still just under three weeks to go and Theresa May is loving up everything and Corbyn is doing great. If Corbyn comes close to beating May then the last two years of backstabbing and undermining by the PLP will have been the biggest wasted opportunity by Labour since 1997. If so it won't be portrayed that way it'll be "imagine how they would have done under a strong and stable Smith without suck a risky throwback manifesto"

Oberleutnant posted:I think it's as bad. Hopkins dances around the issue with euphemism and allusion - she knows people will make the leap to the famous nazi quote, but doesn't outright explicitly state that she wants to genocide brown people, so she can at least deny that that was what she meant and try to weasle out of it. This on the other hand is just straight up "we need to put brown people in concentration camps". Hopkins is basically also an evil jester, nobody should even glance at anything she says or does.

I like how virtue signalling has now come to mean telling racists to gently caress off, which to be honest is it's own reward. Kinda surprised people aren't picking up more than sixers for this stuff, what do you need to do to be banned?

You still see that Yudkowski(?) guy being cited as an AI expert occasionally which is fun since he's just some weirdo who is scared of imaginary computers.

Depending on how it lands I think corbyns position is a good one that can work well. Remember that even crazy trump voters partially voted for him because he was going to stop going out on random wars in the middle East which the public has been sick of for about 5 years now.

jBrereton posted:OK let's say the UK government somehow manages to patch things up in that whole neck of the woods and repair relations with the muslim community, that would be groovy if a little unlikely. This is very dumb, my friend are you alright? E to be less of a dick. 7/7 was the last time I felt rage or despair over terrorism and I wanted to kill the bad men. Then I realised that it was pretty clearly because we'd gone into iraq. Since then we've attacked, what, 4 countries? We never ever stopped the things that were clearly putting us in danger so now terrorist attacks just make me glance up and go "yeah, makes sense, seems like a thing a terrorist oval office would do". Once we stop blasting our dick into every last wasps nest maybe your argument will make sense. Communist Thoughts fucked around with this message at 11:58 on May 26, 2017 |

It's insane that the libdems are now speaking out in favour of interventionist foreign policy. Surely that's gonna completely divebomb whatever support they still have. I vaguely remembering supporting them on those grounds back when they had Kennedy in charge who was the last decent libdem I can remember. Menzies just whined about ageism.
