There's no way an approach of "pull out all the stops, the ends 100% justify the means" can be trusted to end once occupiers are ejected. That way of doing things has a habit of just carrying over once it's time to, like, run a government.

Cugel the Clever posted:Kurtz's reference in Apocalypse Now to Viet Cong amputating limbs in a village in response to American-led vaccination efforts was fictional, as far as I know, but it's all too easy to see some defending such violence, were it real. Fighting against imperialism does not give carte blanche to commit atrocities, nor should the criticism of onlookers be silenced in the face of such (or, for that matter, lesser, but still blatantly counterproductive tactics). In a more modern context, it turned out the CIA used fake vaccinations during the gwot to take DNA samples to plan executions. Is it still counterproductive for people in that environment to resist foreign vaccination campaigns? Probably, but I'm not sure we're in a place to judge when we're the ones undermining this trust in the first place.

Probably, but I'm not sure we're in a place to judge when we're the ones undermining this trust in the first place. The vaccinations were reportedly real in the sense that real hepatitis B vaccines were used, but the CIA’s goons pulled out and the kids didn’t get their second and third doses, so efficacy is highly dubious. So it was a fake (vaccine program), but not a (fake vaccine) program. Does it change much? Probably not. It’s just weird how history remembers this one.

FrozenVent posted:Just a reminder to please be nice to each others. Hey man, I'm genuinely posting in earnest, and I don't understand why you believe I'm acting in bad faith or what you mean by that or want me to change. I don't know if you feel like there's some sort of bad blood or something and why you're upset about me PMing you but I'm always happy to squash it if you do. I apologize if I've ever offended or wronged you, sincerely. I have no idea what that would be and you won't communicate with me though. But I do think it's very unreasonable for what to me feels like a situation where my conduct is super-heavily subject to moderation, which again, I don't understand what you feel I'm doing wrong and you won't explain, while small number of posters are making hostile and competently baseless claims that I'm part of some secret CPSAM troll discord or something. I'm really trying to be cordial and respectful even though I vehemently disagree with some people here, and I feel like it's become acceptable for certain people or people on certain sides of an argument to be nasty and I really don't like it.

Probably, but I'm not sure we're in a place to judge when we're the ones undermining this trust in the first place. The Taliban's leadership isn't stupid. They're almost assuredly aware of the health and economic benefits of vaccines, but they also can't be seen as reversing course on something they've preached for so long. They're no longer a plucky insurgent group - they run the entire country, so they also accept the responsibilities that come with doing so. e: In other words, governments don't get to escape responsibility or criticism for the way they govern and the decisions they make even when there's beliefs held at the individual level psydude fucked around with this message at 09:33 on Mar 4, 2024 |

CommieGIR posted:Ah yes, because States only are allowed to rule on LGBTQ and Women's Rights. Yeah basically. If a state wants to DQ a presidential candidate, nope can't do that, Congress has to under the 14th. If Congress wants to enforce the 14th with the voters rights act, nope can't do that, only states can. The calvinball is also really stupid because as the dissent mentioned - per the 14th amendment, it takes a supermajority to remove the insurrection finding. That's... not how Congress works for either passing or repealing laws, which the supreme court is now requiring for the insurrection finding/removal. Though it is consistent of current court jurisprudence that the 14th amendment doesn't really exist when they don't want it to! Edit: and an added bonus https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/1764677370579976414?t=d2pt6UkBRg8LjUYdAOrA_A&s=19 Ain't poo poo gonna stop a J6er winning a Republican primary and coasting to Congress in a safe seat. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Mar 4, 2024 |

If Congress wants to enforce the 14th with the voters rights act, nope can't do that, only states can. It would seem like the far more logical way to do this would be to say something like “congress has the power to remove the restriction and congress implicitly determines the validity of all winning candidates so it’s solely up to congress to determine their procedures”. However discarding the VRA because the constitution’s explicit granting of power over solely elections to congress wasn’t good enough for the court kinda throwing a huge wrench into that one. At least “states can’t do this stuff unilaterally” is 9-0 because that could go all sorts of crazy directions otherwise.

If you are 63 and a "hot 22 year old" starts coming on to you, you should be at least a little suspicious
