Again, morality and philosophy are subjective. Legally, which is objective, Biden is not responsible.
So we are only allowed to discuss responsibility in the context of a narrow legal definition… on a world news sub?
You are searching for a line between the black and white and you don’t realize you are in a sea of different shades of grey.
The question over whether Biden is responsible is inherently subjective and even if it wasn’t an authorities’ conclusion that Biden is or isn’t responsible for the Palestinian genocide is inherently subjective…and subject to interests that may influence and distort a picture of the truth.
Also, what would happen if the legal definition of responsibility was unethical and unjust and you knew it? Would you still moderate according to those rules even if they violated your core values?
The law is a record of political and human struggle, there is nothing about it that makes it somehow impervious to bias or corruption like (arguably) the study of pure math or logic is.
No, you can discuss anything you want, but you won’t be allowed to assert blatant falsehoods as true.
Same goes when I remove the arguments about Ukranians being Nazis or how they were the real aggressors after Russia invaded them or how the Uyghur genocide is all made up by Western powers to make China look bad.
Bullshit gets removed, repeated, unrepentent bullshit gets a temp ban. Repeated temp bans get longer and longer until the bullshit is excised.
What an example to choose. I.C.C. Won’t Investigate China’s Detention of Muslims
From your article:
“Prosecutors in The Hague said on Monday that they would not, for the moment, investigate allegations that China had committed genocide and crimes against humanity regarding the Uighurs, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group, because the alleged crimes took place in China, which is not a party to the court.”
They have no legal jurusdiction in China.
They don’t have legal jurisdiction in the United States either!
No, they have jurisdiction in the State of Palestine, you know, where the crimes are happening.

Which is how they charged Israel for the ongoing genocide, Israel isn’t an ICC states party either, but you run around committing crimes in a states party, yeah, they do have jurisdiction.
Same for Ukraine and Russia.
https://asp.icc-cpi.int/states-parties/eastern-european-states/ukraine - Member state, Russia is not. Putin gets charged as a war criminal.
So if Putin, like China, started committing atrocities inside his own country, the ICC couldn’t cover it, not an ICC issue.
