Romans 12:20 springs to mind here.
Or just human decency, something lfromnj apparently lacks.
You become effectively whatever you deem evil by such attitude.
It's pretty much clear that most Atlas users would be awful diplomats or not users i would trust holding an important function or job like ever.
One of the fun things about being a civilian is you do not have to act like you are part of the state department. This is why when henry kissinger died, you can make various insinuations about his firey new accomodation rather than giving some po-faced statement about how he loved his family and the united states.
This isn't the innocent dead of gaza, it is a bloodstained dictatorial butcher who is directly responsible for the death of your ideological milieu.
Yes but the thing is that people are criticizing Europe's decisions to help with search efforts, this isn't about Raisi anymore, this is about people jokingly or non-jokingly saying Europe has an evil regime for doing what I consider a common sense thing.
I don't expect all of you to be diplomats. I don't expect all of you to pretend to be sad about this, though as compucomp says the irony is that for Raisi i guess we have a consensus on the forum but that for some other leaders moderators would not tolerate such comments, and i think perception on leaders such as Netanyahu and Trump would be a lot more divided.
Would you say if it was Netanyahu or Trump that these comments would've been okay. I don't think it's really that clear. Fico isn't really popular on the forum either and some had a hard time pretending to be sad there either... . My question is where is the line. What is allowed and what not?
I don't think anyone will mourn his death here. And i don't think anyone will attempt to convince you that the man is a good person (even if we must be aware of cultural & political biases/differences). But I just think overall, that the judgment - especially if he's confirmed dead - should not be up to us, people that even barely know him who he was, other than reading some bad stuff about him on Wikipedia or "muh Iran bad", i don't know anything about him.
In Christian tradition, generally, whenever someone is dead, the judgment is left to God, not to us. I in a lot of ways agree with that. Except for the God part because I don't believe in God but I agree that the morality isn't something I should really judge over at the moment one is deceased.
In Buddhist tradition, there is something like karma... or the concept that you become whatever you claim to fight if you resort to the same methods as the one/thing you fight.
