“I was just following orders” they said 🇺🇸 “No, you made a choice” is what I said

@stux that rationale didn’t hold up in the 1940s, and it won’t hold up now.

@stux Yes, and just look at the orders they chose to follow.

@stux Its apparently all the justification slaughterhouse workers need. Its a job just like being in the military so they both pay a humans livelihood; explain why we should condemn one and not the other, slaughterhouse workers arguably inflict more suffering and death than say the IDF

@stux “I was just following orders” is what Hannah Arendt found in her research about Nazis was the reason for all cruelties. "I was just following orders” is exactly the most dangerous sentence of all.What we see in the US is exactly what was Witten in this book.

@stux The defense of "I was just following orders" has been consistently rejected in international criminal law, particularly since its prominent failure during the Nuremberg Trials after World War II. As such the world has already decided I was just following orders is not a defense for criminal actions. Which lets be explicitly clear that is what donald trump is doing
