  • Also, no, collective punishment is not a thing at least in US law. Individuals commit crimes, individuals get punishments. An individual would have to agree to commit a crime for it to be conspiracy.

    https://federal-lawyer.com/criminal-law/criminal-conspiracy/

    Federal conspiracy charges are broad and can apply to any individual who conspires with another individual to perpetuate a crime against the United States. Federal conspiracies are charged under 18 U.S.C. 371. An individual can be charged with a conspiracy to violate any kind of federal law.

    you do not have to have committed the underlying offense to be guilty of conspiracy. Under the conspiracy laws in the United States, if you act in concert with another individual to perpetrate a crime, you can be held liable as well.

    If they take any action in furtherance of any of the atrocities of the Azov, they could be on the hook for all the crimes, depending on the exact wording of the law in the DPR.

    There's also abetting, which generally refers to calling for or encouraging the commission of a crime with the knowledge that it could result in the crime actually being committed. Given that, one, tons of Azovs are on record publicly calling for "racial purification", and it's common knowledge (certainly to the initiated members) that the Azov Battalion has actually committed acts toward that in the past and intends to continue, I think that would apply. Depending on the jurisdiction, aiding and abetting could well net you the same punishment as if you personally committed the crime, or some percentage of it.

    None of this is legal advice BTW, but I think the vast majority of the Azov are on the hook for at least one serious offense.

  • Would you say being a member of the Nazi SS in Germany is also not a crime?

    You might want to read up on the common legislation and legal doctrine about conspiracy and criminal groups, including the case in the West. Namely, if a group enters into an agreement (that's literally the legal term) to commit some crime, every member of the group is each guilty of every crime involved in the conspiracy, regardless if they participated in any part of the crime or not. It's why entire gangs and underground societies are prosecuted for the entire group's actions, and the Azov committed uncountable haneous crimes. Continuing to vocally identify as part of the group after finding out the commisions of crimes or future planned crimes is almost certainly considered entering into or upholding that criminal agreement.

  • I'm still trying to figure out what they mean lol. Russian invaders not "get" the same? The people being tried are not Russian invaders, they're members of the Azov. And the DPR is trying them, not Russia.

  • What's also ironic is that they always say how violent Squirrel and Hedgehog is, and how it uses the trope of objective good vs objective evil, and the good guys always pull through. While conveniently not mentioning that Japanese anime from the same era has a similar level of violence (you know, the country right next to the DPRK and has quite a bit of cultural overlap?), or the fact that literally every kid show ever has the exact same simplified good vs evil message? The cartoon doesn't even mention any real countries! It's in a 100% fictional, fantasy setting!

    Also, if you're going into college level literary analysis to draw comparisons between a cartoon for children and real life politics (like, young children, not high schoolers or some age where you'd actually expect them to understand real politics), aren't you basically saying that children in the DPRK are way smarter than Western children?

  • And Captain America isn't just a superhero. He's literally, canonically a god, and the unquestioned defender of the entire universe!

    When libs analyze a show like Squirrel and Hedgehog (a DPRK cartoon) down the individual pixels in order to prove just how propaganda it is, but apparently what Marvel has is 100% not propaganda?

  • Redditor is a state of mind. You don't necessarily have to use the site to be one.

  • As much as I dislike the Catholic Church and their general ideology, I'll admit this was a based moment.

  • "Everyone who disagrees me is a piece of shit and is siding with tyrants, no I'm not going to actually read their arguments beyond the title."

  • No it isn't. We're not trying to be like Reddit. Because if we were, why not just use Reddit? There's no reason to make an alternative to something if it's going to be the exact same.

  • And then you get the geniuses at /r/architecture whining "HURR DURR IT HAS NO ORNAMENTATION AND IT'S UGLY AND DYSTOPIAN AND ELON MUSK'S MANSION AT LEAST LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!"

  • Also, prions, one of the deadliest cannibalism infections, are pretty damn heat stable. You can grill the shit out of a burger and still get mad cow disease, pretty sure that applies to human-human transmission too.

  • Also also, if I'm understanding this right, he didn't actually get backlash for being a literal cannibal, you know, the most serious point in all of this, but instead he got backlash for accidentally eating a fellow Ukrainian instead of an evil enemy Russian?

    What the fuck is wrong with people?

  • It wasn't supposed to lol

  • Maggot poop cheese. Search it up.

    And they have the gall make fun of Chinese food during covid. "HURR DURR THE CHINESE ARE SO GROSS THEY EAT BATS!"

    And when they inevitably go "hey that's only one small region of Europe!" Just say "well only one small region of China eat bats too, didn't stop you from being racist toward the whole thing, did it?"

  • Also, hope you get a prion you piece of shit.

  • Literally being a monster in order to show how barbaric the Russians are. Nice.

  • Can't have encryption bugs if you don't have encryption!

  • Logical fallacy. Countries and people are different things bud. Neither are the magnitudes of the misdeeds involved, or whether they're ongoing or in the past.
