Morality Of War: Greater Power Must Counter Attack War Criminals

The Nuremberg tribunal in 1945-1946 determined that “the ultimate war crime and crime against humanity is to wage a war of aggression”. War of aggression is certainly what Hamas did on October 7, 2023. Some top Nazis got convicted and executed on the “war of aggression” charge alone.  During World War Two many civilians died in the counterattack of the democracies. And not just civilians from…

I'm in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk!!

I've been holding this back for a long time--INCREDIBLY EXCITED to say my song "I Wanna Kno" was chosen for the Bomb Rush Cyberfunk soundtrack. Grateful to director Dion Koster for seeing something in the track and letting me help color the game world of New Amsterdam. I still can't believe I'm part of one of the coolest games ever in a music lineup like this. Out now on PC/Nintendo Switch, coming to consoles soon after!

wound up revisiting the hypmic timeline last night and maybe there’s a chance rei and nayuta met in that military department!!!

what makes me giggle about that tho is by the time wwiii starts, ichiro’s already been born and is 4 years old so if they did meet in that specific point in the timeline, that would mean it only took two years for rei and nayuta to start making babies LOL

Oh no, mota gave me world war(s) brain worms....

[thewingedwolf]

a lot of my free time is spent listening to a podcast run and researched by a professor of genocide studies who went into those studies specifically bc in an attempt to escape the violence of his angry, alcoholic father he signed up to go off to war in afghanistan only to realize that the whole war and war in general is a) stupid & boring and b) a series of horrific war crimes that had made the civilian population deeply suspicious of him even tho His Morals Were In The Right Place (tm). when he got home and threw himself into being anti violence, joining anarchist orgs & studying theory & trying to understand why he was sent to the other side of the world to be traumatized for no good reason while traumatizing the local population with his very presence, his shithead father died & he found out that his father was Like That bc their family was chased out of armenia because of genocide and it kicked off a cycle of violence & anger in the men of his family. he absolutely lost his shit, got his degree in genocide studies, and moved to armenia (do not ask me how he convinced his wife to do this with him. he’s really open about every other aspect of his life except his wife and kids which is imo very valid).

all that to say, he has this interesting perspective of war in that he has this cultural trauma of being the victim of a horrific crime while also himself being the perpetrator of imperialism & serving in an area that had recently been the site of several horrific war crimes (really similar to tim o’brien, who served in my lai several months after the massacre but didn’t know the massacre had happened & pieced together what happened from the horrified whispers of the civilians & brags from soldiers). it makes him both hyper critical of soldiers who do terrible things & empathetic to soldiers who are forced from home to do terrible things & angry on behalf of civilians who are victims of war crimes. i have ragged on him for being Very Midwestern about certain things but his research is interesting & sad & well done, & it’s really made me think about my own place in The Greater World & every time the internet loses its mind over some aspect of history i am violently reminded that most people just look at history and go “but MY SIDE was justified actually” when that’s such a BABY IDEA OF HOW HISTORY AND WAR WORKS.

Finally jumped on that trend of drawing characters for a color 🔴

there's a fun type of category error i see a lot where the premise is "because this person/institution did a good thing one time, they are definitionally good" no matter what they've done since then. you see the opposite- "because this person/institution did a bad thing one time, they are definitionally bad"- fairly often, and people have developed defenses against it, but i think that people have a difficult time with both still and that's why you get things like "JKR has always been exactly as much of a virulent transphobe and antisemite as she is currently and it's obvious to anyone who reads the books" for a negative example or "the only reason why anyone on earth is free is because of the U.S. military" (courtesy of prager u).

the common sense way to go about analyzing both of these things is "well JKR is funding hate groups right now, but at the time she wrote her books she was not and donating much of her money to actually positive institutions. we don't need to say that she always had the power and did the harm that she currently does in order to mitigate the harm she is causing right now." and "the U.S. military (or at minimum U.S. government bonds and military production donating to the soviets through lend-lease) won wwii, and things would have been quite bad for the residents of the majority of western countries for a while had they not done that, but before and after that event they did a lot of war crimes (and even during that event they did a lot of war crimes, though i'd argue on net the least crimes against humanity of any of the major powers of that war) and they generally aren't a force for peace right now, so their past helpful deeds are not something we need to address at the moment."

but there's a missing mood for both of these things! that's weird! it's like acknowledging that someone can do both good and bad things and that we need to address the things, not the person, is a common sense concept we all accept in psychology class, but once we go out into the world we all forget it. i also don't think that this is an internet culture thing- it's common among irl social groups too- so i have to wonder if it's just a quirk of human psychology that we can't grapple with
