“yeah I drove home drunk, but, you know I’ve never hit anyone so it’s fine”

You are not entitled to any length of break under federal law. (Usa, obv, other countries different) However, you are entitled to the benefits that were listed when you employed, which mostly likely includes the 10 minute break. So it’s still wage theft. For 20 minutes, it’s probably better to try just documenting it and passing it over to the fed rather than suing.

…yeah because you said genocide was special to western countries… I’m not some “the whites are getting genocided” person. You denied the genocides perpetrated by other countries and said it was special to typical white countries with a very clear implication.

You started this saying that most countries had been FOUNDED on genocides

I clarified in another comment I meant had done genocide, not founded on it. And yes, most. Not every.

it’s very normal that a nation has had an uninterrupted body of government after they either completely or partially eradicated the native population

I’m not saying it’s good. Quite the opposite in fact. I want People to just understand it’s not some united states special. However, it is much more more typical than people want to think it is

I never referred to it as unavoidable. That was you making things up. It is avoidable, as long as we work together to stop it

These countries get on their high horse when they have an exceptionally genocidal history.

My point was meant to point out how countries with genocidal histories like to point out others as the ones to avoid repeating examples of rather than their own history.

You’re being straight up racist assuming it’s only white western countries commit genocides.

There’s been no genocide in China

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I was talking to a tankie. Carry on.

proceeded to link to a NATOpedia page that fails to list a whole bunch of European/US genocides and even then is short, oh, about 96% of countries on earth.

Natopedia is a hilarious take

I’m well aware it was not an exhaustive list.

To say that every country has been founded via genocide is to imply this is just a normal, unavoidable thing, which is genocide apologia

It’s not. I never said that.

I wish westerners would stop whitewashing their Nazi ass societies like smearing the rest of us is a good alternative to doing something about the legacy of violence you were raised by.

Wow, racist much?

I was talking about the Japanese in Korea, actually

It’s also to deny worker’s comp. Have no drug policies and blame workers who fuck up even when it’s the companies fault for creating the conditions for it to happen, just because they took weed a bit

Somali, Chile, Argentina, south Africa, Japan, Korea, China. It’s horrifyingly common no matter what area.

Leftist extremism is we need to destroy society. Rightist extremism is “we need to genocide black people” yeah, pretty clear one is a lot better

…wait, you thought this was a defense? I’m sorry, perhaps I worded it poorly then.

What makes you think it’s not true? A gander through the history of genocide shows how horrifyingly common it is

I was more referring to general genocide than specifically native populations–but even that there is no shortage of countries like Australia, Canada, and japan that have done as such.

There is a depressingly high number.

I hate to tell you this, but basically every country has the same story, except the very young. They don’t need to learn from our history; they should learn from their own.

It’s a small sacrifice for the betterment of the world,

*Betterment of humanity.

Fortnite is completely free to play friendly. There is no pay to win.

The idea that Americans are somehow exceptionally dumb and that it could never happen at home is going to be the European countries downfall—they’ve already forgotten history

Imagine portraying trump as anything but dementiaed. You know he posts a about razing all of gaza to the ground to build a resort, right?

At a minimum you need to say how low % your cap is for the other section of each

Not voting does nothing. It doesn’t deliver meaningful change. It doesn’t help. Doesn’t fix.

There’s a lot to lose by not voting. It’s a privilege to vote and run for office, and as a Republic, it’s people’s civic duty to use it.

If you don’t like it, running for election yourself, organizing, unionizing, those are the strongest methods to realistically to fight back. Revolution rarely comes as long as people are moderately comfortable — and that’s the only other option.

For presidential, there’s only 2 options. But if you go down to local level, third parties can be viable.

Only just over 60% of democracies go back to democracy after being authoritarian, and I have never been one to play with gambling the odds

Not especially. Many groups of people, conservatives and leftists and “centrists” alike, love to suggest the parties are equal. I’ve heard it in real life. I’ve heard it online. All over reddit when I was still on it and lemmy even now.

Though I wouldn’t especially attribute the logic to tankies, so in that way, perhaps
