Yemen says ready to join Colombia-proposed ‘global army’ to liberate Palestine 🫡 - Lemmy

No. No, I just got something in my eye. I’m fine.

Yemen is unironically peak human rights.

Uh…

Yemen is one of the seven countries to apply a death penalty for consensual sexual acts between adults of the same sex.

It’s good they’re banding together to protect muslims against the threat of Israel (their words) but they’re still a religious authoritarian nightmare.

Let me check my evil meter to find out if homophobia is worse than literal genocide against brown Untermenschen to create an ethnostate
Nuance really is dead, huh?
You sure are nuancing away all the gay people in Gaza massacred by the West.
Literally what the fuck are you talking about? Jesus Christ way to prove the point.

The mass murder of gay people in Gaza by the West. Statistics estimate 5-10% of people are gay so that would be at least 3000-6000 gay people mass murdered by the West in Gaza. Assuming a low estimate of 3000:

Is 13 gay people killed is worse than 3000?

Of course not but you’re fine with the 3000, because the 3000 were gay people executed and blown up by the West, and not by brown people. And when white Ubermenschen with superior technological airplanes and snipers mass murder gay brown people it doesn’t count for you because they are brown Untermenschen and should know their place.

And not just gay people. Women, children, men, the West is just killing everyone. 60.000 at the very least already.

And who is defending those 3000 gay people killed by the West? That’s right, Yemen.

The existence of queer people in the general population isn’t in question, though. How that statistic is relevant to Yemen’s human right’s record is what we’re confused about.
They are fighting the worlds largest armies in order to stop genocide.
Sure, and that’s a good thing for them to be doing. What does that have to do with their human right’s record?
If you watch this video fully you’ll understand www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZc5Mbix3VE
American Leftists Defend Graham Platner, Mass Murderer

YouTube
Do you have a timestamp to the relevant portion? Because the first ten minutes do not address how the problematic support for Graham Platner is at all connected to how Yemen’s commitment to a (noble) military coalition thus excuses their human rights record.

Understanding Graham Platners background is essential to understanding the American Surpremacy which is the topic of the video.

If you genuinely think Yemen has a worse track record than the US after watching the full video then I can’t help you. Around 25:00 there’s a great point wich requires the prior context.

You’re dodging the question: Why does Yemen’s involvement in this coalition excuse it’s human right’s record?

American supremacy is an important topic, yes, but it has nothing to do with Yemen’s internal human rights record, which is the topic being discussed.

They are risking their lives fighting a genocide that puts them straight at the top of human rights with nothing to gain from it while everyone else is complicit and nodding along.
So your position is that the good someone does excuses the evil they also do. An interesting position.
No that seems to be your position based on our conversation. But you refuse to acknowledge the evils done by the West because they are Ubermenschen.

Take the US: it’s done undeniably evil things

I’m not sure how I could be more explicit about acknowledging the evil things done by the US than to say “They have done undeniably evil things”. But while I’ve repeatedly done that, and lauded how Yemen’s involvement in this coalition is a morally correct choice, you have repeatedly avoided addressing that Yemen’s persecution of queer people is wrong, while falsely claiming that I’m somehow denying the west’s evils.

Yemen comes out on top by simply committing far less evil than the rest.

by simply committing far less evil than the rest

So you do agree that they’re doing evil things. But you’re willing to overlook them, because in your eyes they are doing less of it than other people. While I doubt the strict accuracy of that claim (yemen does a lot of human rights violations and there are many other countries that simply do not have the population to compete with them in volume), I am glad we can agree that their doing good things does not negate the evils they also commit.

Yes it turns out that the poorest and most oppressed people are not perfect victims. But they are much better than their perfect oppressors.
Okay, I’m glad we have that sorted out!
