Damn I hope United health care CEO Andrew Witty is fine and a second shooting doesn’t happen to him. It would be so sad. So sad.

Well we agree at last!

I was mocking the words Yoon said himself that blamed the communists for having to do this. So I suppose pertinent if you want to take what he says at face value and believe he did this because of the commies pillaging the happiness of the south. I wouldn’t believe him if I where you but you do what you like.

Since I do not believe him and instead believe that he is lying and wants to maintain power for himself the conditions in North Korea do not actually pertain to whether or not Yoon’s declaration of martial law has merit.

It’s bad to declare martial law. It’s funny to blame your fascistic actions on commies. It’s weird to insist that we have to talk about North Korea before we can say Yoon is being ridiculous.

I agree that the ROK and DPRK are largely incomparable.

Do you agree that Yoon is ridiculous for blaming commies in the north or do you think that actually is relevant to his reasoning?

Well if you’re still paying attention it doesn’t seem so over yet what with the attempted arrest of political opposition. We’ll see how it plays out. Hopefully peacefully.

South Korea are the bad guys. Well not THE bad guys. Just some bad guys. Like their government is famously corrupt and rather recently a dictatorship as well. North Korea martial law is also bad but not directly pertinent to this news story. Odd that whenever something bad happen in the south you feel you must jump up and shout that the north is worse.

I didn’t say north Korea was good but ok.

I was making fun of Yoon’s reasoning here where he literally blamed communists for pillaging happiness from the south. I guess that’s not allowed without also condemning north Korea?

Yup the south is totally a democracy guys. It’s those northern communists that are pillaging out happiness. Pay no mind to the capitalist hellscape it’s actually communisms fault. Oh you don’t agree we’ll time to declare martial law. Democratically

It’s good actually to betray evil people.

I’d go to Russia to if my government was threatening to kill me or lock me up forever.

Why? Don’t think people who’d be considered tankies and recognized Biden as being being genocidal generally thought trump was better. I mean some Americans probably because Americans are politically illiterate and trump sometimes says he’ll do peace so doubtlessly some believed him. But I don’t think people saying genocide joe are surprised

And that’s what they mean by maybe it should have been on the ballot. If the Dems lose (to Trump of all people) they’ll really only have themselves to blame. They could’ve done things people liked but decided not to.

Hopefully Trump loses but the Dems are really trying to make it a close one.

It’s always a confession from basically anyone in upper level gov. In a funny way I wish it was actually true that it was always a confession though. Imagine if the Republicans were the communist socialist lefties they accuse the Dems of being constantly. That’d be fun.

But yes I’m down to improve my understanding of facts if they are lacking. Hardly need another reason to hate the military. May as well be accurate about it.

If we lived in a just country she would.

A great point. Republicans will never vote to remove the EC unless it hurts them and theoretically this could.

Screw Republicans by voting literally whoever besides trump and Harris in Cali

only if you’re in a swing state. In which case vote tactically. If you’re not in a swing state do not vote trump and do not vote Harris. Instead vote third party there to maybe get a 5% national representation and therefore get more funding for em.

Voting tactics woo.

The local Democratic party literally opposes the ranked choice voting bill on my local ballot. So do the Republicans surprise surprise. They agreed on something! Bipartisanship!

You’re right I’ve gone and checked. It wasn’t a new thing just clarifying that to use lethal force would require the secretary of defenses approval.

Little clarifying language changes are common it’s true.

I’ll admit when I first started using the name I tried to write my comments sing songy but by the time I made it to Lemmy I was too lazy

Vote for the partiesand candidates that support ranked choice

Did the meme mention trump being spotless? Because I don’t think it did. He’s scum. Doesn’t make Harris spotless just less spotty

Biden made it legal for military personnel to use lethal force on American civilians… Maybe Harris doesn’t care. But Biden and Trump seem to both like the idea of killing citizens with the military.
