- yieldcrv 2y agoyou’re asking people to prove a negative for reasons that are irrelevant and inconsequential, aside from your hardon for pointing out that the US coup’d some folks
- busterarm 2y agoHey, a whole class of "political commentators" like Hasanabi have made whole careers off reframing every possible conversation around the braindead regurgitation of "America bad". And internet echo chambers are so bad that it substitutes for thoughtful commentary.
- yieldcrv 2y agoAmerica opens itself to that criticism by calling itself a good, moral leader. As if its constituents and allies need to believe that. So some people are gullible and eventually feel lied to. But I think the US could operate more at face value and then the same things occur without the cognitive dissonance. It would probably be far easier to support too.
- orochimaaru 2y agoI think you require proof of culpability, not the other way around. This is like being asked to prove you’re not guilty.
- deciplex 2y agoNo, it's not, because this isn't a court of law. You're allowed to read between the lines here and use common sense. You don't need proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Given the history of the US on matters such as this, it would be unusual if we weren't involved. That's really all that needs to be said.
