A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm legitimately curious if you are asking this because you think only Americans kill other country's civilians during conflict or if that's the only country whose murder of innocent civilians bothers you.
We're just exceptional at it.
BTW, it’s not only the murder of civilians that makes the US military so evil. It’s also the sheer scope of brutality, in terms of size and time that the US has perpetrated with not only direct military action, but also proxy military actions, and economic and civil violence that is facilitated by the threat of military action.
Other people being shits has no bearing on how big a shit you are.
So I was right. You are ok with murder at a certain scale and efficiency.
I’m not sure if you just didn’t read what I wrote, or if you’re just dumb, or trolling because you think others don’t read, or if you’re just a bot.
Beep Boop. You're ok with murder.
Well that literally the opposite of what I said, but okay.
I'd hazard a guess that the US kills a lot more civilians than a typical country.
Russia is not a typical country..
Ok, so I gather from the responses, it's ok to murder citizens if you come in under an atypical country's murder count.
Do they pay you to be unbearably annoying or do you do it for free?
It's clear that you're here to ignore what people are saying and put words in their mouths. Fuck off with your bullshit. We don't need that here.
