Western intervention in regime change will kill far more Iranians than doing nothing. I could be wrong about that, but the West does not have a good track record.

I think it’s also important to note that the current Iranian regime took power from the brutal dictator that was installed by western powers who overthrew a democratic government.

I sympathise with the Iranian people who are suffering. I just don’t see a way to intervene that won’t make things worse.

It’s a reference to the “Always has been” meme.

Yes but the payments are made to the child’s guardian. Meaning that a victim of rape will be forced to make payments to their abuser directly because of the rape, which I think is morally indefensible.

Well then I guess I’ll be playing with rocks and sticks. After all, sticks and stones may break the bastards bones.

Short answer yes with an if. The long answer is no with a but.

I’d say it’s racist if someone is complaining about illegal immigrants alongside a general contempt of ‘foreigners’ and not paying attention to the details of why it’s illegal for them to migrate the way they did and what options are available for legal migration.

It’s not racist to be opposed to those who are in violation of the law, as that is not a racial or ethnic classification. But it is important to be inquisitive as to why the law is the way that it is, and be willing to consider the possibility that just because something is against the law does not mean that it should be. Law has long been used as a tool of systemic oppression and racism, as well as many other horrific abuses inflicted on people.

Subnautica’s art direction does give me Metroid Prime vibes.
