It seems the motive for the attack was the victim's loud music which woke the baby of one of his attackers. Local police were overheard saying that the victim " probably deserved it, honestly". We'll update you further as we uncover the details of this fairly reasonable attack. Back to you Deborah.

Some of the janitors and food service people on the Death Star were, surely, just working to feed their family.
Loss of people work for organisations with crooked ethics, pay and conditions. Doesn’t make the workers terrible for doing so. Desperate maybe.
Anyhow we should hold a moments silence for the janitors on the Death Star.
Did you see how clean that place was? Not a smattering of dust. Good people. Such a shame.

So janitors on a nuclear sub while that sub is engaged in a combat mission count as innocents? By that logic, a getaway driver for a murder is innocent

Oh man enlil, did you think I was making anything but a quaint joke? I’m talking about the Death Star and a fictional empire (which, if you followed Star Wars “lore”, would know that the empire was filled with subjugated peoples, races. Many of them didn’t like the empire and some worked under pain of death for other friends or family imprisoned by said empire), you’re talking about nuclear submarines.
But ya know what? Yeah I do think there were innocent people on the Death Star.
Particularly any janitors working in appalling conditions under the threat of laser blasters.
*lights candle in their honour*
Oh the horror of it all.
But hey, Argentina and such…

Everyone on the death star participated in mass murder. There's no justification for that.

Parts of the death star were built by slaves. Presumably, a number of slaves were still employed on the death star. They didn't have a choice.

Is this kind of like saying that because the people voted for Milei, that the outcome inevitably is what it is?
Because to an extent I get it, he was pretty open about what he intended to do, he didn't hide that he wanted to turn the nation inside out, I mean he ran on chainsawing the place up..
While it's important to bring up that the people should've known what they were voting for, and shouldn't expect any less, or be surprised to get screwed over, Milei was voted in because the alternative was more of the same and many decided to take the chance on change, even in a worse direction. Even if that was misplaced hope for change because the direction wasn't good, I still don't think the blame can solely be put on the people, as on the surface Milei might have been made to look appealing when advertised by the media. The old guard, the legacy media, the ones that defend to no end the system that is fucking people over, starts telling the people they need to vote for them or else? Or else what? More of the same shit?
Look, I think we can blame the media literacy of many voters for sure, they should've known what they were voting for, but you can also blame the illeterate media for resonating nothing but the status quo.
The status quo isn't popular, even if it's bullshit, anyone coming in claiming to want to chainsaw the status quo sounds more appealing than someone telling you the status quo is fine, because in the end, telling someone the status quo is fine is a straight up lie, but telling someone you'll cut the status quo up and then doing a 180 afterwards and sucking up to it is a lie after the fact.
I think in the realm of politics it's more effective in the long term to betray your voters than to lie to them upfront is all I'm saying.

Yes, cutting your nose off cause you are disturbed by a pimple on it makes perfect sense.

I was wondering how the Argentina thread got all these posts since yesterday.
For me the whole empire had it's one and only peak when the Carrie Fisher type character had bagels glued on the side of her head in Hardware Wars.

There's gangrene on your toes, one person tells you it's not there, the other says it is there and he's going to remove it once you vote him in.
You vote the second guy in and he cuts off your nose instead, the second guy wins, and your toes still have gangrene, but now you have no nose either.
