Why do libs always rush to defend abhorrent things with "🤓👆but achtually it's technically not illegal".
And in any case, according to the unanimous vote (sans US and Israel ofc) in the UN every year, the blockade is illegal and a violation of the UN Charter.
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
The WTO has entered the chat
The British fought China twice over this lol
The whole argument is one that works well in their head, but not in continuity of the existing world and its political conditions. The WTO example is a good one, even if OP's point were true, then contracts created and such can still lead to stuff being effectively illegal. That they ignore the base level in addition to the WTO angle means there is no discussion with them at all.
