Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I this case, it's their neighbor who has been threatened multiple times recently on this exact topic. It stands to reason that the bellicose government is trying to manufacture consent for an operation.

The current administration may be trying to manufacture consent for a military operation, but cartel violence in Mexico has been an issue for decades. This has included the assassination of Mexican politicians.

Ambas cosas pueden ser ciertas a la vez. No entiendo por qué me estás contradiciendo.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It isn't a contradiction but clarification. Your response implies a binary truth where only one statement can be correct. I'm noting that both statements can be correct at the same time.

Before you try to think I'm going to argue otherwise, cartel violence doesn't justify an American military response.

You cannot read. I'm literally endorsing a blend of the situations. Whatever. We see the same thing with different words. Take care.

You chose to write a response in a different language than the rest of the thread then critique my translation.
