This might be the most disturbing news I've read this week. Crucifixion is brutal. People are monsters.
Yes, the US was supplying weapons (via Saudi Arabia) to the government of Yemen that was fighting these fucking monsters.
But relax, that war is in a ceasefire now, so everything is fine now, right?
The world may not be the black and white simple thing you've been led to believe. Most of the time, if you do something, bad things will happen. If you do nothing, bad things will happen. Most of the time any course of action or inaction will have bad results. There are evil people in the world, and the US is not actually the source of all evil in the world. People have been coming up with reasons to do evil shit long before the US existed.
If the US didn't supply arms to the Yemeni government would things have turned out better? There's no way to know that. The only thing that's certain is the Houthis are horrible monsters.
Imagine stoning people to death for victimless "crimes" and thinking you're the good guys.
I'm pretty sure a similar though goes through the heads of every mass murderer.
The effects of religion. Moral is tied to obsolete ideals and logic is nowhere to be found.
imagine a world more complicated than a good guys/bad guys dichotomy
There are very few good guys, but about people crucifying people it's usually safe to say that they are bad.
