For one, the fact that whether someone was tried and convicted was generally not based on guilt, but whether or not they were of use to the allies or not.
Werner Von Braun was probably the most famous example, but there are hundreds of others.

I don’t care? The Nuremburg trials aren’t the source of basic morality and ethics. They aren’t even a particularly good example of it, if you’ve actually got any familiarity with what actually happened.
Oh, are we going back to “I was just following orders” being an excuse?
Have you tried just being a goose?
It’s legitimately cool that buying a new car and having any self-respect whatsoever are mutually exclusive now.
Fuck cars.
You’re assuming I’m in favor of keeping our existing government intact. I don’t. It was shit from the start, and now it’s entirely unsalvageable.
Even if the government itself was salvageable, the US is far too ideologically divided into sides that cannot and should not be reconciled with each other.
This country cannot and will not hold itself together much longer, and the only potentially viable course of action is to mitigate the harm that is going to happen no matter what by breaking it up in as controlled and peaceful a manner as possible.
If we’re not going to abolish money, it should really be entirely illegal for the highest paid person in a company to make more than, say, 15-20 times more than the lowest paid person.
Too many people seem to think that chattel slavery is the only thing that counts as slavery, and that even that doesn’t count if a slaver is less horrible to their slaves than other slavers are.
I would have celebrated, but I had to work today.
Would you rather go back to white people invading third world countries? That’s the alternative. I sure don’t want that, you’re a shitty person if you do.
They’re a sovereign nation. What are we gonna do, launch a military invasion? And it’s not like sanctions are a realistic solution, either; the west is far more dependent on Saudi oil than the Saudis are on western money. The world is chock full of other customers that will be more than happy to step up.
Yes, pretty much everything the Saudis do is abhorrent, but unless you’re suggesting that the answer to their crimes is to commit even worse crimes against them, you’re just flailing around spouting off impotent virtue signals.
Just like in any other country, the only legitimate way to solve the problem of govenment corruption and oppression is for the people of that country to force a regime change.
A shitty source not being the absolute worst source doesn’t make it any less shitty than it is. If your only options for news are US government propaganda or Russian government propaganda, the only valid choice is to stop following the news.
You’re way overthinking it. He and his followers are hardcore capitalists, and to them, property crimes are the worst kind of crime you can commit.
Maybe, but it’s only ever going to get worse. All of Texas and most of the west as a whole are going to be unlivable soon.
The smart people are leaving now. Anyone who isn’t is going to be fucked when it becomes a genuine refugee crisis.
You think you were, but you weren’t, because radiation doesn’t work like carcinogens do.
If dying from heatstroke and starvation is winning, then yeah, I guess you’re right.
but they just don’t have the reliability I look for in an internal organ
That’s ok, neither do regular organs.
I don’t have a solution for this catastrophic injustice all over the world
I sure do, but I’m not about to get put on a watchlist for suggesting it.
Living things > inanimate objects.
We’ve destroyed their habitat, so they have to go somewhere.
We were doing this regularly as a matter of policy with illegal immigrants until…let me check my notes…the 2020’s.

I don’t support much of anything Russia has ever done, but this is not a point where we have any moral high ground over them whatsoever.
