      That’s ridiculous. It undermines the whole principle of war crimes. For there to be a war, one place has to have been invaded by another. Since invasion by aggression is already illegal, following your logic would have us throw away all remaining war crimes, if the aggressor has already broken the law and the defender can now do whatever they want.

      The Geneva Convention doesn’t have a get out clause if you’re the one being invaded. Civilian targets and infrastructure are off limits, invader and defender alike, because civilians often have little control over the war they’re caught up in and don’t deserve to be killed, starved, conscripted, detained, or otherwise denied rights because of the decision of their leaders.

      This should be simple stuff. The world has gone insane.

          Idk, it’s kinda always going to be propaganda when there is financing involved, no? Not all propaganda is bad, it’s the interests behind it and how that financing is structured, like if it is a grassroots donation based media outlet (Democracy Now!). Correct me if I’m oversimplifying, but in the ideal sense, a PSA by the state for folks to wash their hands with soap is “good propaganda.” When the state is not a tool of the proletariat, when the state tells its citizens to be wary of their own vaccines (that had to pass their own regulations), or when the state spreads the notion that another state is committing genocide (to distract away from the genocides that our state commits/is implicit in), then it’s the bad kind of propaganda. In that sense, I think it would be good to have more anticapitalist propaganda! More art, music, documentaries, etc. Call it PSA if that sounds better lol
