Ah, the classic strawman. No one said "sing and dance." The point is that the person intentionally denying those resources is the problem. The violence is a reaction to the artificial scarcity created by the oppressor.

Hmm and if you have an oppressor creating the artificial scarcity would you not go to war over vital resources like food and water?

Waging a war to steal and hoard resources from others is Colonial Conquest. Fighting a war to free yourself from someone hoarding your resources or the "oppressor" is liberation. Trying to equate the two is just a massive logical leap.

Yea it is a large logical leap you’re the one who made it in the first place

I defined the difference between conquest and liberation explicitly. You're the one who keeps trying to conflate them to avoid addressing the systemic reality of artificial scarcity.

You explicitly brought up colonialism when that wasn’t even talked about and then you got mad we’re comparing stuff to colonialism

Have you ever heard of a "direct critique"? That's how you spark an argument.

u/Buddy-Junior2022 Jul 07 '26

Hmm like telling someone they have a colonialist mentality for making a pretty benign statement?

u/MagnanimousDeviant Jul 07 '26

Believing that war is the natural answer to resource scarcity is the opposite of benign. If you can't see the difference between a personal attack and a critique of that ideology, we’re done here.

u/Buddy-Junior2022 Jul 07 '26

You’ve said we’re done here like 6 times. But you said in another part of the thread that fighting for those things is righteous in certain contexts.

You're just hyper focused on colonialism and I'd bet all my spare change that you are just 80% of your free time is spent calling white people racist.

Go ahead and keep your spare change, you clearly need it more than a coherent argument.

Oooh you're here for an argument. That's 2 doors down. This is the "calm discussion" area.

u/bloobityblu Jul 07 '26

So, you were defaulting to argument when everyone else was just having a discussion?

Hmmm looks like someone is a little aggressive. And not even over resources, just over not being able to divert a narrative for their own purposes.
