Ah, now I will admit to there having been a potential nuance. I certainly would want a trial before an execution, for instance. But I also think it would be wrong to assume these scientists were completely morally innocent. Maybe I could be persuaded from my earlier opinion of “You always shoot a Nazi” but there needs to be something to show. A diary entry saying “I’m not sure about this Hitler fella.” Something.

To be frank, it would be hard to siphon out truth from fiction at this point from personal accounts. That said, of course I distinguish between a forced Nazi accomplice and a sympathizer. I am not suggesting that they should be treated the same. I am suggesting that the U.S. was so zealous in its efforts to defeat the Russians that it wasn’t making distinctions.
I apologize if I’m misreading. Are you suggesting that it would be wrong to shoot a Nazi?
Promising a deal that includes citizenship, a house, a salary, and an administrative position to a Nazi scientist in exchange for their work and knowledge such that one’s country can gain ground in a cold war is absolutely fine. It’s absolutely totally fine.
Following through with the deal after getting the goods from the Nazi is not. Shoot the Nazi. You always shoot the Nazi.
Oh, ok. Yeah, that’s it. Thanks.
So it must be some sort of bug. I have two screenshots of posts here. Both communities are on the same instance. But only one shows the option to edit.

I mean, intent matters a little at least, right? Like, I prefer to use the term progressive when describing myself and I found this meme to be a firm chuckle and not problematic. It’s saying that the logic used by things like CRT is thematically identical to logic used in biblical texts, which many on the right would actually oppose politically and ideologically.
So like, if the intent was to reframe CRT in a biblical light so as to show ethical inconsistency on the part of Republicans, and it works on a logical and a humourous level, what exactly is the problem?
It’s a hilarious joke but imagine if it were truth. How would such context affect the morality of the NK government and its actions against its own citizens. I’d like to thank OP because this is the kind of thing that gives my mind a break for days as a distraction to contemplate.

How many “Who watches the Watchmen?” scenarios do we have to go thru before it becomes apparent that an actual system of checks and balances is always necessary?

I hated how cluttered my “hidden posts” were in other apps. I personally like the idea of hiding posts in the moment and resetting when refreshing.
For an instance, not a community.

Man, when I watched the first episode of the reboot with my kid and Josh called Steve and Joe and Steve talked to us, like the grown ups that watched him when we were little. I teared up. No shame.
