The Iran War Is Unfathomably Depraved - Lemmy.ca

Perhaps one of the most pointless wars in recent memory.
All ears are pointless.
Fuck no, some wars are entirely needed like the haitian revolution, or really any war fought against colonisation… Imagine if the chinese people hadn’t fought against imperialism, or the russian people against tsarism
It’s the Haitian revolution, not the Haitian war
If raising an army and establishing a nation to fight another army defending it’s nation is not what war is then I don’t know what you’re definition is
What event are you referring to?

really any war fought against colonisation… Imagine if the chinese people hadn’t fought against imperialism, or the russian people against tsarism

So you’re saying the people banding together to overthrow their oppressors is waging war? That’s like saying killing someone violently raping you makes you a murderer. Its textbook victim blaming, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Defending yourself against imperialism isn’t waging war either. The imperialism is the warmongering, not the defense. Again, more victim blaming bullshit.

well idk why all these people call it independence war, revolutionary war then but I don’t really care about these semantics. To most people a war is a systematic, organized application of lethal violence between two or more parties over control of a piece of land and it’s population. This can be for oppression or liberation. If you have a different definition than most than alright, but I’m not “victim blaming” for going by the definition most people use (including those fighting it) that’s ridiculous lol.
Yes, you are victim blaming by suggesting people defending themselves are to blame for war.
I’m trying to understand how they are blaming anyone? Please explain what exactly he said that you consider victim blaming.
Insisting that the people defending themselves in war are just as responsible for the war as the people attacking them, therefore war isn’t pointless. That’s a ludricrous stance and puts blame on the victims for the war.
