"international war sponsor" what a nice title, I think every company operating in US should have it!
Why
Because most international conflicts that the US enters are due to threats (or potential windfalls) to the profitability of our largest companies.
Or at least that's the joke/context
Can we not be as stupid as redditors when they downvote people for asking questions?
Especially questions asked of a sentence steeped in hyperbole.
No one is downvoting for asking questions they're downvoting for asking trolling questions that are either obvious or can be answered by a quick Google search.
Only a troll is "unaware" the us has committed war crimes itself often at the direction of corporations.
Eg: the dole company in South and central America etc.
Maybe give them the benefit of the doubt, not everyone is from the USA or obsessed by it here, and good answers can teach people efficiently, I'm pretty sure you learned things this way yourself.
No, everyone has access to Google. This is a cop out that allows trolls to appear to be legitimate question askers. They are not. Do not entertain the notion.
Yes the guy providing common sense answers is totally a troll. You got me. The most pragmatic troll ever.
Asking the question promotes discussion.
Which is exactly what Lemmy needs to show to newcomers it’s not a barren wasteland of nothing.
Asking a dumb question promotes ridicule...always has. Lemmy is no different.
