    Is it still collective punishment when it’s an army in the field and not pows?

    Or is the important thing that there’s a dude with a gun in an organization aimed at hurting you?

      When was war declared? I have not had the memo.

      In any case I’m not entirely sure on what you are putting forward here.

        War was declared about the same time trump took office again.

        He’s putting forth that it’s state vs it’s constituent.

          I dont like trump either mate, but you’re gonna have to elaborate, cause this is all i got so far.

          Trump elected > war on cops > cop kills son > father kills other cop > justified because of war with cops

            I choose to believe people can’t be as cognitive dissonant as OP saying cops (state) started a war since Trump (federal) took office, it must be a psyops by foreign entities to purposely promote a rebellious zeitgeist.

            On a related note, I wish there is a way I could configure which federated Lemmy instances I could remove from my feed, ml would be gone so fast…
