It was in lemmy.world.

I did not quote the post because it is in spanish.

In short: a guy argued that my country’s goverment is a dictatorship because expeled out the staff of an UN office that is supposed to work on human rights issues and in his opinion there are human rights violations. I replied that a dictatorship is defined by the means a group of people get and/or keep political power and stay in power against the will of majority. Democracy: power by people’s vote, otherwise could be a dictatorship. The violations of human rights does not define dictatorship and made this example: Israel’s goverment is legal and democratic but, in mi opinion, is commiting genocide against Palestine people, so violations of human rights does not equal dictatorship.

I guess that was the trigger, the guy freaked out and i Just stoped the argument, thought it was useless.

The last one is creepy.

1- i did not write you intent yo kill anyone, just you are adding your contribution to a toxic environment of manipulation, if you intended or not i do not know.

2- i did not object on religious or moral grounds.

3- you did not ask for a legal answer, that would be too easy. Your question is open ended in order to obtain arguments based on different personal grounds, mine are based on: a) critical thinking. b) been fed up (sorry, do not remember a softer expression) reading such ideas. c) been on the reciving end of that media manipulation, because Putin is not the only political leader who faces this. There are too many in the world, and with them their peoples share the burden of the consequences.

4- last, i am not going to argue about this forever, do not want to win any argument. If you want to feel you are right and me wrong go ahead and be happy.

So, your position as i understand it: it is just words.

My position: words related to real world are not just words, they have meaning, purpose, intention and consequences.

Edit: if USA president is assassinated VP takes the place, is that all what would happen? ASSASSINATED, not by sickness or accident🤔.

Those kind of questions can not be made without context, it is not a game of words without consequences. If it is a game, just to waste time posting in this or any social network, let’s stop here.

It is about a real person, who is a leader, whose murder would spark grave consequences. And that leader actions, like taking the decision of going to war or not, are related to decisions made by other leaders. Right now there is a campaign demonizing that leader, and that campaign normalizes ideas mirrored by that kind of questions. There lots of memes, jokes and things like that asking for Putin’s dead.

If i asked, what would happen if Donald Trump were assassinated? Or Biden, or Xi Jing Pin, Erdogan, etc? At this moment when all media are strugling to influence public opinion? It won’t be a futile harmless game.

It pertains to the whole picture. IMHO.

Why is that question possible?

“that’s unrelated to Putin and his direct actions”, if not related, why? Why asking about assassinated political leader?

No, the question assumes that Putin is s problem (a bad guy) and almost ask his dead.

Everything is more complex, and if Putin is a bad guy…what about wéstern politicians and their crimes?

I do not like that position: the “West” is right, the rest of the world is not. That is one of the untold premises of the question.

Edit: i am not an english speaker, perhaps my writing is not clear enough.

Like a Putin for each one taste.

What about a change in the West? In order to avoid another Afganistán, Irak, Sirya, Libya and so on…

A hardliner will take power (Putin is not the most antiwest russian politician) and then…from the total erasing of Ukraine to third world war, anything would be posible, but neither civil war nor colapse of Rusia. That is the OTAN countries wet dream.

Achieving motivated people will always work hard no matter how rich they are, but if they are rich enough will work in what they like…that is not so bad, at the end the life is meant to live for, is not meant just to work for. And for those not achieving motivated, why not relax a bit and smell some flowers… Be happy, those who are happy working hard for the sake of acomplishment will be there…

“Get your own stuff sucker”

If the alcohol you are drinking was produced in wood barrels, the tradicional and more expensive way, is less prone to give you hangover.

In the other hand the distilled alcohol, cheaper, contains a higher amount of acetaldehyde, so it is more prone to give you a hangover.

“Hamas is the governing body in gaza and must also be bound by international law.” Yes, they should be arrested and put under trail, like germans generals and officers after WWII, some of them were hanged. To do that there are other ways.

“They must be held accountable for their actions and the actions of their elected leaders.” who are they? even children? Their leaders are in other places, like Qatar, why not carpet bombing there?

That is not true, Israel is an state bound by international law, it must respect human rights, can not do this to anyone.

Hamas is not an state, can be considered a criminal organization and Israel state can fight it inside law limits. No state can, should not (in theory) carpet bombing civilians, killing thounsands of them, including children, in order to kill some hundreds of criminals.

Israel is an occupying state, palestinians has the right to rise against the Israel state.

And finally, why are IDF soldiers killing palestinians in Cisjordania?, Hamas is not there, the attacks did not not come from that place.

Dangerous asumption: one man, one finger, one second…and you will have a disaster.

why do you think you are going to loose your files if change desktop?

Remember “Neuromancer”? The CEO AI who crafted art work…🤪

Abduction or kidnapping i guess you are talking about some places of México or Colombia, not the whole latin america.
