@VeggieBlue @womenonIine a great way to prevent this would be to simply abolish the military and use their funding to support mental health services. but I have a feeling you'd be opposed to this.
@VeggieBlue @womenonIine what if it is? in that case, would you be for total disarmament?
@VeggieBlue @womenonIine you say that like our military doesn't commit human rights abuses all the time. the state/military are more often the perpetrators of human rights abuse than the enders of it. would you like some examples?
@VeggieBlue @womenonIine okay. give me one example of a military with no history of human rights violations.
@ish_cherry @VeggieBlue @womenonIine Liechtenstein. Done and done.
@VeggieBlue @ish_cherry @womenonIine that's moving the goalposts of the original question. but the solomon islands has no standing army and is not protected by other countries.
@idkboiiiiis @VeggieBlue @ish_cherry @womenonIine The only countries without militaries are either protected by someone else or so geopolitically worthless that having no military is viable. The vast majority of countries are not one of these two.
