I guess a better way to state what I meant would be that the internal justification for war is almost always the elimination of some evil, whether it be stolen land, external taxation, racial "impurity" , lack of resources, or perceived threat etc. etc. Rulers, even ones we as a society can clearly see are sociopaths, have an internal logic that states they are "cleansing" the world of a perceived evil. We don't live in a cartoon world, people don't generally do things just to be "bad". They think they are right.

So you've essentially made them into a race instead of a nationality with that very statement.rote fahne wrote: pooh, what a shitload of strawmans.

This is the "there are n*ggers and there are black people." argument. It's the stronghold of the casual bigot.i had a very good relation with a german girl for 3 years, for example, and i met a lot of nice germans, and there are a lot of nice germans, but there are a lot of nazi germans still too, so as a collective i dont trust them.
or to put even more carefull: there might be a chance in future etc. etc.
I've met a few Chinese people, the ratio of decent to annoying or untrustworthy ones is exactly the same as any other culture. Every person at the end of the day deserves to be treated as an individual. Sure there are cultural stereotypes, but to respond to them is to be a bigot. You don't understand why I'm calling you one, simply because you are one.has nothing to do with their products: do you trust the chinese? pretty terrible regime they got there, dont they. and sure you got products made by them.

You know of course that capitalists think that the loss of profit is evil though.Funk N. Furter wrote: Yes. In practice there are always various things going on and I guess all sides somehow manage to convince themselves that they are in the right, unless the leaders are total psychos I guess, maybe even most of those most of the time. Hitler certainly believed he was in the right as did his followers, although the capitalists themselves are generally more hard headed and only interested in profit.
People always convince themselves they are right, no matter how messed up the logic is at the end.
Operation Ajax in Iran was to stop the flow of communism you know? It was just a formality that we (UK and USA) ended up installing a friendly dictator who gave us their oil rights.

Re: who is actually going to fall for obama care
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. You're the one painting chinese people out as not worthy of trust because of their government, but I'm the bigot for pointing that out.rote fahne wrote:no the bigot is you.machinesworking wrote:I've met a few Chinese people, the ratio of decent to annoying or untrustworthy ones is exactly the same as any other culture.

Re: who is actually going to fall for obama care
So, how come you never try to paint americans out as exactly like the Italian Fascists?
It was a much longer running regime, and Mussolini started fascism in the first place.
Too close to home right?
