Guys, we can’t address the Saudi issue until we go back in time and correct the mistakes of the British Empire.

Excellent. On the way we can stop off and kill baby Hitler.

it is just crap isn't it? No matter what stance you take on any abuse/human rights abuse/sexual abuse/mysogyny/racism/ableism/transphobia subject someone will say "ah but what about THIS" it is so fucking tiresome and exhausting. They even do it when you explicitly say that everyone chooses their own ethical path.

 

So fuck it because of the british empire I'm off to play hogwarts then catcall women who deserve it because they are wearing short skirts. After that I'll not only eat meat but also club some seals to death - we did worse under the Empire so fuck it. FInally I'll use a crossbow to pierce some dinghys crossing the channel. Oh and send everyone back to the country they are "really from" - there is no point being nice to anyone because of the British Empire. That gives me the inalienable right to not give a fucking shit about anything else ever.

 

Next time I kick the crutch out from under someone while queuing at Starbucks eating Nestle chocolate and they say "WTF?" I'll just look at them with a slightly sad look and say "British Empire mate no point in not being a shit is there".

There is a major issue right now of western nations using “woke” issues to keep competition from the east down.

 

Y’all not bothered about boycotting Nintendo and Sony for allegedly benefiting from Chinese slavery of the ughur people but big bad brown Saudi owning a few shares suddenly causes a massive moral dilemma. 

[Clipper]

Anyone who uses the word woke as a linchpin in their argument is not worth listening to. Is the first recorded example of an exception to that rule?

 

(drumdroll)

 

nope.

 

oh well.

 

 

[Giddas]

So who is boycotting Nintendo then, or was the thread just to express surprise that some rich fucks can buy shares in publicly traded companies?

[Darwock]

Are Sony and Nintendo not in the East now?

Yes, comparing the awful and cruel exploits of the British & Japanese Empires from (at least) 70+ years ago is definitely a reason nobody should dare comment about what the Saudi regime is doing right now.

The whataboutery of saying that because the British empire is evil then it’s fine to support the Saudi’s is dumb, but nowhere near as dumb as pretending that all the brutal violence our government has inflicted on the world ended 70 years ago. The British government inflicts violence across the globe, and the fact that we’re not doing it as badly to our own citizens isn’t an excuse.

So will peach be allowed to drive in Mario Kart 9 or not?
