The Finnish parliament will no longer carry Pepsi products as the American soft drink giant continues to support the Russian economy by continuing its operations in the aggressor country, Finnish news outlet Yle reported on Sept. 5, citing the manager of the parliament’s restaurant.
I mean, the US has been helping Saudi Arabia starve and destroy Yemen for eight years now. Aren’t we also a sponsor of war?

Anyone who works to maximize equality is a good guy and anyone who works to maximize inequality is a bad guy
Depends on how you want to maximize equality. Nazi Germany maximized it by eliminating everyone else lol. Probably not a good guy. :)
I’m not sure I follow your logic here. What equality was gained by the victims of the Holocaust?
The idea is that the Nazis tried to create in their perverse fucked up way technical equality by exterminating everyone else that didn’t conform to their vision and everyone else was equally removed from existence. Thus not all methods of getting to equality are valid or good and we should be careful about saying all methods of creating equality or mandating it are good.
The logic I don’t follow is how killing some people and not killing others is in any way an application of equality. They decided that the people they killed were unequal. Like, the logic of your individual points makes sense, but it’s the overall logic of your argument that I can’t follow.
By killing everyone else except they considered acceptable it leaves only equality left. One of their goals was to remove everyone else who didn’t fit into their vision leaving only those left.
It’s similar to the policies that mandate various under represented groups are the only ones able to partake in various activities. Both are shitty methods of creating equal outcomes just… One is far more lethal and terrible obviously. But the same flawed logic trying to force an outcome.
No they definitely had plans to leave some untermenschen alive as slaves. I wouldn’t call that maximizing equality
They’ve simply been promoted to living to serve the remainder of the population! (I’m just using the playbook from every movie for evil dictator justifications. Absolutely don’t think this at all btw. Big /s after these statements if it wasn’t clear. )

I don’t think you know what the word specifically means.
I think my point is obvious enough to be understood without getting bogged down in the pedantry of equity vs equality, but if you want to start that discussion you are welcome to provide some definitions :)

There have been plenty of times they were, though name any country with 200+ years of existence and I’ll show you how they aren’t the good guys either from certain points of view. Ask Africa how they feel about some of the perceived “good guys” in the EU
We’re a key part of the war machine. We are gears of war.
Gears of war only has 4 sequels…
Doesn’t count since we’re the good guys.
“What about …”
The rallying cry for people who kinda just want to ignore what a piece of shit our country is. You are a well-behaved chickenhawk.
But what about me?
well, yes?
Yes.
Those are the Good guys, Gods gift to humanity, they dictate what is moral and what ever harm they bring on others they are still righteous
