Better save the poor thing.

Is that the reasoning for bombing civilians to smithereen across the globe if they are under something you see as a dictatorship - they doesn’t count?

Only american lives sadly. The rest of us have always been expendable.

I do feel sorry for the american people. It seems you are gonna get the same treatment as the rest of the worlds underdogs now.

Just hope eXXon doesn’t find oil under your house.

Uhm yes. Is this a trick question?

The “lone gunman” always have the same motive, becoming an anti-hero instead of a looser. It doesn’t really matter what went on in their sad little brains before the killing started. Usually it is some coked-up version of a fascist fairytale, but as said, they all have the same motive. Rewriting the story about their sad underdog lives. They are an homage to conservative rebellion against liberalism.

I just feel it gets very complicated very very fast. If our military is ordered (by our fairly elected goverment) to attack another country without a reason acceptable to international law, it might be legal here, but illegal in the country being attacked. It might be perfectly reasonably, but that doesn’t matter, it is literally political violence, both illegal and legal at the same time. Being against political violence or violent political official acts gets messy faster than you can yell “Saddam had WMDs”. I don’t know if I am trying to make a point, but I think it is hard to condemn political violence per se, without having a long hard look in the mirror.

If politicians decides politically to use the military for violence against anyone or anything, is that political violence? And if yes, does that means there is legal political violence?

Yes, scandinavian imperialism has its own disgusting flavour of racism. One might call it an aquired taste. Denmark is by far the worst. But Sweden’s history, isn’t exactly nice either. Just to mention one: The hundred years war. And in modern times all the former oppressed are doing nasty stuff in the same image as their oppressors. Finland to Russia. Greenland doing dirty deals with the US and China. Widespread corruption on the Faroe Islands. Norways robbery of the northern tribes. Icelands neo-liberal adventures. And then we haven’t even started to cover, what the upper class is doing to their ethno-aligned working class in any of the nordic countries or their neo-colonialism. Interesting times.

Copenhagen Zoo and the famous Tivoli had racialized and enslaved people on display far into the 20th century. That map is pretty useless.

Thing is. It was under Biden the US decided we where lucky enough to get american bases on our soil. I really don’t see much difference for people in the rest of the world.

I do however believe in democracy. Indirect democracy, where you vote for rulers, must have meaningful choices in order to be democratic.

I guess what I really am trying to say is. The rest of the world don’t have a say in who decides if we get trade deals or tanks in the streets.

And if USA was my country I would have a difficult time voting for someone so cruel. Even if he was the lesser evil. Because democracy is built on the notion that you have to believe in free choices.

Darn you american liberals are getting desperate. This is a fellow kids-level “please vote for the lesser evil” type of meme. But I am not american and have trouble seeing if your argument is a pipedream worthy of a genocide to pursue.

Orcas rely on the salt in the water to keep their skin healthy. If they stay too long even fresh water they will succumb to infections. Other types of dolphins seems to be able to adjust a little better to shifting amounts of salt in the water. I have no clue about the larger whales but I suspect they have problems with fresh water because they wont float as easy in it.
