If the right had their way with the healthcare, education and welfare systems that would be sooner than they think.
Sometimes it's good to commit war crimes.
Remember kids: Fascists aren't people.
Only people get to have rights.
Mmm I prefer referring to the social contract interpretation of human rights instead of dehumanizing them but turn about is fair play.
War crimes cheat the hangman of his rightful due. Don't commit war crimes. Just make sure they reach the tribunal.
Justice is blind, meaning she misses a lot
I think the hangman might have enough on his plate to allow us a little war crime or 2, as a treat
The artillery does not care if the city has non combatants it wants blood, and the god of the battlefield isnt one to argue with.
So cringe.
I was making a reference to an old RTS, though I did butcher the qoute a bit I think. Cant remember the games name though so I cant recheck.
Well that would def explain the cringe... Red Alert games had some of the cheesiest cutscenes ever
Wasnt red alert specifically, all I remember is my units getting stuck on something and spamming way to many artillery units to compensate. That was roughly what the dialogue said every fucking time they deployed.
It aint a warcrime the first time you do it.

why did you repeat the exact same comment
Correct.
I don't get it. If this is in reference to US Politics (it almost always is), the right is red.
If it's in reference to 20th century communists, fair play.
If it's in reference to British soldiers of the 18th and 19th centuries, again fair play.
Ambiguity is the nemesis of fun.
It is definitely a "1933-1945 Germany against Soviet Union" reference. There's also a German version: lieber tot als rot. The US/NATO version during the Cold war came later
Sounds like you found two ways to get it, and chose not to?
But anyway, there's no need for speculation if you familiarize yourself with the phrase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_dead_than_red
Count again. 3 ways to get it. Including the way you've linked. My first one was correct.
Lol your first one was wrong, bud
Edit: and there were two ways to "get it," meaning "understand it," not three. That's quite a few comprehension errors in your effort to be critical of this post!
Saying "the right is red" with that much emphasis on "is," is super misleading.
The Republican party, over the last half century, or so, have adopted the color. But very rarely is anyone refereed to as "a red". Someone might say "red vs. blue" as shorthand for Republican vs. Democrat, but that's really as far as the color thing goes. And if you go back a little further, they were switched completely; Democrats used red.
Anyway, it is the boomers' collective PTSD from the McCarthy era that cemented "red" to mean "communist". Unfortunately, the red scare never really ended.
Veiled threats are so last millennium
the 1000 emails in my inbox lookin at me like
Except they mean you are better dead than red
I don't wish death upon them, but they can go ahead and let the rest of us exist in peace.
