There can be multiple different people and multiple different motivations within people that do not all need to agree with each other. One person/thought can be good, while others aren't.
That discrepancy alone doesn't discredit the good things, unless they're directly related. In this case, they aren't. Israel's genocide needs to be condemned, but so need to be the events from Tiananmen square.
I hate arguments like yours. It's always like, "you either be perfect or you're the worst scum on Earth". Completely counterproductive. Yes, criticize the bad parts. But don't paint the good things, like this, as bad, it's just unnecessary.
Especially, an art installation at one place has absolutely nothing to do with who decides who goes to a stupid song contest. Wtf.
I assume there's a missing coma after the no. In any case, are you arguing that's better to do nothing than to do only half?
No country on earth had the moral high ground. All have sins. But some have taken steps to redeem, starting with acceptance.
Let's do both!
Nah, let's go both
That's the neat part about being an authoritarian regimen, you don't care what they think about you. Else you would stop the authoritarianism.
So let's do both.
Immediately cutting ties with anyone who doesn't do what you say sounds like a winning strategy.
Bruh. I'd consider running a genocide to be a special case...
It is a special case and there needs to be a global demand to push back and start sanctions. It's just not going to happen as quickly as people want , nor will rhetoric. A deal needs to be struck which means you when with the asshole. Unless you want to bring in force.
Hmm I see what you mean I think, thabks for the reply
Don't you have a bad faith argument to make somewhere else?
I totally agree. This is a gesture of political hostility more than a sincere memorial.
Maybe China will respond with a memorial to the victims of European colonialism. And the petty back-and-forth will continue.
