why did it take so long, and why haven't more countries invoked the Conventions

There's an elephant in the room that everyone doesn't want to offend. It might force unannounced sanctions on you because you're speaking out against a country they're supplying arms. And they'll not just sanction you themselves, they'll make it so that they will sanction anyone that does business with you.

This causes irreversible financial harm.

I guess they imagine that extremist regimes will provide them with that power, without taking a moment to think “oh, wait, the chances that I’ll be the one oppressing and not the one oppressed are miniscule” (and that’s setting all other moral things aside).

I'm pretty sure the ones oppressing and the regimes always have something in common (race most often, then wealth). Even if there is a slight chances the regime might turn against them, the minority and the rest will be the first to bear the brunt of the force which will be cheered on. And by the time the regime turns on them (unlikely), most will have had enough of a clue to prepare or escape.

Administration? Lemmy was built by a guy that denies tiananmen square massacre.

Everyone plagiarises until they become powerful enough to influence others to stop or face sanctions.

Fake it till you make it. Once you make it, call out others plagiarism.

Being murderous and full on genocidal are two different things.

This you?

If we're burning passports and refusing to talk to anyone whose country has committed brutal genocide it's going to be very lonely and smokey in every country

Regurgitating shit about things you have no clue, or sources to back it up, just because you feel like it, because shitheads use it to deflect their own country's genocide isn't the flex you think it is.

I see this bullshit spread around a lot trying to defend something evil their country does. Can you actually source some evidence? or this is just a strawman people think that makes themselves look smart?

99% of the work is in small refinements

Sorry but that's bullshit. Inventing something takes a lot, a lot, a lot more effort than packaging something. Incremental improvements are much easier (in comparison ) when you've got the working prototype already on the market.

And wtf is that analogy? The fanboy in you is really showing.
