This fiction needs to stop.
You can’t carry a war out “responsibly”. There are no clean wars.
A war that’s started with “limited” “computer-guided” “precision” “decapitation strikes” and “according to international law” will inevitably kill thousands of civilians if it goes on for any length of time.
A bombed-out kindergarden or hospital doesn’t say anything about how the war is fought.
All it says is “yep, this is war.” It’s to be expected in war.Too many people still think that a war can be clean somehow. And that’s a dangerous thought, cause it lowers the threshold to start one. There are no clean wars. War is always an evil act, and to be avoided at all cost.
Okay, if we’re going to be serious for a second, sure. Saying all war is dirty comes with risks too, though; people try and excuse actual atrocities that way. There is such a thing as really dirty vs. minimally dirty.
Thank you for engaging with my content!
So he does not say anything at all, only thinks to himself?
That’s garfield for you. He’s just a cat after all.
Exactly, cats speak Portuguese anyways
Thank you for engaging with my content! Jon Arbuckle says How was the spinach casserole! Garfield says Donald Trump just bombed another kindergarten! This war is not being carried out responsibly!
But when he says it, why is it a thought bubble?
Still having trouble? Okay, let’s break it down! Jon Arbuckle says How was the spinach casserole! The speech bubble means he’s talking! Then Garfield says Donald Trump just bombed another kindergarten! This war is not being carried out responsibly! The speech bubble means he’s talking! Now that you know how to read comic strips, you can progress beyond making superficial remarks about the bubbles and can engage with the ideas being presented!
I think what they’re really asking is how can Jon Arbuckle understand Garfield’s thoughts. Is one of them a telepath?
Presumably because as a cat, he doesn’t have the capacity to communicate this to humans in a way that they’d understand?
