You do realise how cynical this is no? We are dying of the consequences of global warming to which the global South has contributed the least to, yet will suffer the most and can’t afford to survive it because of centuries of colonial loot

Exactly, satisfying the highest standard is not a criteria for categorisation. It’s the same as saying USA isn’t capitalistic because governament regulations are still a thing

I don’t like DeSantis either but if you read the article, the question itself was loaded. I mean the headlines are a slippery slope argument

Calm down, I’m a random no one on the internet. It’s nessasary to play the devil’s advocate in order to spark conversation

Ok, then let me ask you a bit more philosophical question. Is it okay to execute a murderer? Do you truly belive in the concept of " an eye for an eye"? Similarly do you think being wronged justifies you abandoning your morality?

I belive it’s more akin to offering pig meat by accident, the Muslim can always politely refuse. It’s nothing like forcing since it’s easier to not pay attention to an abusive person.

That’s a very childish stance, it’s the same logic as “but he hit me first”. Because by that logic undivided Jammu and Kashmir is wholly Indian as it was invaded twice(several times but mostly ended in stalemates) and land was seized through military conquest. Theoretically it would justify Indian attrocities on civilians but the western community never sees it that way ( nor should it)

Yes I too feel it’s a childish stance. You will find a lot of people arguing “but they hit first”. Even from a pragmatic point of view, this serves no tactical purpose and will only lead to more passionate support for the war efforts( among the Russian people)

The world is much larger than just the wealthy nations. Where I’m from, the internet is synonymous with Google, emails with gmail and online video sharing with YouTube.

Digital literacy is hard to worry about when you are struggling to improve your life. Even outside of harsh situations it’s not okay to expect everyone to literate themselves.
