A man in unincorporated Antioch in Illinois was charged on Tuesday with shooting and killing his neighbor over a noisy leaf blower earlier this month. 59-year-old William Martys was working in his yard with a leaf blower when he was shot in the head and killed during an argument with his neighbor, 79-year-old Ettore Lacchei, who the Lake County Sheriff's Office said had "various perceived grievances" with Martys.
I think the difference here can be simply explained with one legal difference. American conservatives defend child marriage. The Taliban based on the fact the Quran demands marriage be between consenting adults have banned child marriage
:data-laughing: that is a perfect contrast
I didn't know that about the Taliban but I can't say I'm surprised. I worded my yeehawd comment clumsily for having only meant to compare the US' tactics and goals between the two, but the results are radically different. I'd wager that no matter how much you stoke far-right elements in any other country on earth, you will never be able to make them ontologically evil like the US
This is my fault for not thinking about what my comment might line up with. I think it's because I forgot that most people online don't categorically refuse to condemn governments outside of the imperial core, and you'd have no reason at all to assume that I do, so I'm sorry for getting snippy
nah it's cool I didn't think you were being dismissive at any point
