Nobody said you couldn't. Doesn't stop it being a right-wing position though. In fact, kinda supports it really.

Particularly in the UK, where we've (generally always) had controlled immigration. Tightly-controlled immigration, even. The idea that any form of immigration is "uncontrolled" has been UKIP's position for years, and the more (overtly) far-right BNP's position before that. This is separate from...

So two of the countries that have apparently successfully tested ASAT capability (China and Russia) didn't want to include them in their proposal? I wonder why.

"uncontrolled immigration" is a right-wing position for anyone to advance. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Because that's how you know you have a point :D Populism as a platform wouldn't exist without the perception of the elite. Not really interested in bigging up what is essentially a reactionary pushback to the failures of liberal capitalism. But I'm sure you have a point beyond this rhetoric?

Can't believe we have all these options and "Rishi is a right-winger who agreed with the aforementioned right-wingers" didnt pop up once. And spare me the victim run this time Edward, we're both UK regulars here ;)

You asked that.

You're talking about the missile strike on the embassy that killed people, right? Or are you cooking up excuses?

Nobody said any families were fair game. If you want to try your hand at an analogy, at least put the baseline of effort required to not make straw out of other peoples' positions :) Like, I get it. The dissonance of maintaining inconsistent positions on occupational violence necessitate...

By responding to Israel's bombing of its consulate? Would you mind elaborating?

I keep typing Cassandra Cain for some reason. I think it's because I know the DC character better haha. Nova passed me by a lot, comics-wise. I know a lot about Moira MacTaggert (heck, I binged X-Men Legends and its sequel on the Gamecube, back in the day, and she features a bit in both, and...

See now this I understand. I get what you're doing here (and I don't disagree). I guess I just come down on the side of making my analogies not end up being on the side of the aggressor.

Birdjaguar never specified a date. Lexicus' link is valid and in good faith. We can recognise what has occurred, while also disagreeing with other posters who just use it for tit-for-tat. And I know some posters will miss this, so once again just for the record: I disagreed that this in any way...

Israeli troops arguably never actually fully-disengaged, and settler violence (protected by the IDF and the Israeli judicial) has been a thing ever since. Including all the way up to October 7th. The analogies aren't crappy, you've just decided that it's okay for one population to be occupied...

The Amnesty International article is pretty straightforward. Ukraine's defensive position doesn't justify ignoring humanitarian laws. That said, raising "human shields" as a "counter-argument" for Russia's actions isn't (imo) a valid counter-argument. So if Crezth isn't willing to engage in...
