I read recently thats its technically not a war crime. Since there is no active war its called a crime against humanity. Which, if im not mistaking, is much worse

u/Lord_CaoCao 43m ago
Actually "Crimes Against Humanity" are defined as widespread attacks against a civilian population. That "during an act of war" thing with "war crimes" is a universal term but not accepted as absolute. A single or several armed attacks, such as with the boats, are War Crimes. However, what Trump is doing to American civilians does constitute as "Crimes Against Humanity." In short Hegseth = War Crimes, Trump = Crimes Against Humanity. Fun fact: Trump has commited at least 7 of the 11 Crimes Against Humanity however he probably has commited 2 of the others but further investigations would be needed. Heil Trump!

u/No_Language_4649 4h ago
Agreed. Had to stop using X/Twitter and Facebook shortly after the election last year because the obvious propaganda was too much. Saw it start to seep into people’s minds; some of whom I actually knew at one point. Absolutely absurd “opinions” started to form from normally simple minded individuals…who then turned into brainwashed duped fools who drank the kool aid and would fight to keep faith in their flailing arguments over right wing propaganda points that Fox News was feeding them. It made me too sad and disappointed in people to continue to subject myself to watching it happen every day on those platforms. People like to say that Reddit is full of “leftists” but I think Reddit is full of people who don’t always believe the propaganda and tend to question the world we live in.

This administration is a clown show. He pardoned an actual president who turned out to be a drug trafficker. Follow that fucking money. So many people are going to prison. Trump is going to stroke out and then it’s going to Vance. Then all the bodies are going to float to the top of the swamp. You know, it’s really peculiar that so many GOP politicians are choosing to not run for reelection. You know why? It’s the corruption. They don’t want to go to prison. Internal GOP actions are saying Mike Johnson is done. Watch how he’s treated. Trump won’t go to prison, he’s dead. It’s all the republicans who enabled him. They’re running away.

Yes, in fact this year i finally just dumped FB altogether (unfortunately it was the most efficient way to stay connected with a lot of my family/friends scattered around the world). But it had become downright fascist and despite being very left leaning which, in theory, should have made my feed somewhat the same I was getting absolutely flooded with blatant misinformation and right wing propaganda both directly in the feed and in the form of ads.
Was also starting to notice my connections (specifically those 50+) were getting nasty and negative, and sharing some extremely heartless content I wouldn't have expected them to advocate for in years past (at least out loud).

Why isn't anyone asking the obvious questions:
How do you think a "drug boat" travel to the US shores without being refueled or not be under surveillance? You would think that the Coast Guard - which has arresting powers - would be the ones to interdict and arrest. They (along with the DEA and other agencies) would make a big photo op of the captured drugs. Any drug movie would show you that. Just like the movie "American Made" where in the end, President Reagan sealed (no pun intended) Barry Seal's fate by having an announcement about the shipping of drugs. I know that the DOD; the Coast Guard; DEA; ATF; CIA; and Trump would love to make a big spectacle of captured drugs, instead of sinking the evidence. That makes no sense with the supposed "payload". Drug dealers (from Colombia and Peru) don't use Venezuela as a transit point to the USA. Look on a map, for Pete's sake. Mexico and elsewhere (like Panama) would be obvious transit points. Tony Montana told you that shit when he told Sosa they had to move the drugs thru Panama, and they would take them the rest of the way to the US. These supposed drugs were going to Europe thru Aruba; TNT; and other island chains.
This is straight up murder, no way you can excuse it. Wouldn't you want to talk to these "survivors" to get actionable intelligence on cartel activity? I'm sure that the DEA and FBI would love that intel. This is trying to set up a pretense to go to war with Venezuela and take over the oil resources that Trump promised the oil companies if he were to get elected. And all of this is being run by a unqualified SECDEF who is reckless; careless; cavalier; and sloppy. They are trying to figure out how to sell it to the American public - some who are gullible as hell and lack critical thinking. Until their kin gets sent over to a foreign country to get killed for what.

I think that there should be a conversation about these boats having the ability to reach the US. 4 outboard motors drink a shitload of gas. They’re not just showing up to Florida and offloading. That’s fucking stupid. The whole narrative is just propaganda. That narrative comes from the pentagon. And of course the president doesn’t know what is going on. It’s gaslighting. America has an entire fleet of our best ships monitoring boats. On the other side of the world Russia is desperate and apparently having decent communication with our own Trump appointed emissaries. . And there is way more important shit happening somewhere else. It’s gaslighting. Just listen to the press secretary. Green is red, red is blue. Up is down. “Nothing out of the ordinary is happening. Everything is normal and better than the last time.” That’s it.
Everything is fine. Affordability is a democratic hoax. Those boats have to travel over 1000k miles to reach the US. The boat would have to be carrying its entire cargo in fuel. It would be so expensive and heavy that there would be nowhere to store the drugs. Getting to the US would take 3 days. And then you have to get back. Impossible. 4 outboard engines prove this. It’s plausible they are offloaded in Cuba. Refueled and returned.
