Note the mention of Francisco de Vitoria. His great name is not one such vile creatures should be allowed to speak, let alone defame in such a way. He is actually the first to put limits on what you may call wars of aggression.

Earlier theorists, such as the Scotsman John Major, had argued that the Indians were natural slaves and that the lands were 'terra nullius' of which anyone could take possession.

However, Vittoria disputed that characterization of Indians, and pointed out that since the Indians had created civilizations, that the qualifier of terra nullius could not apply. He limited wars of conquest as only being legitimate insofar as it was to combat rulers who imposed such unjust customs as human sacrifice and cannibalism on their subjects.

For centuries, his School of Salamanca has been praised, and rightly so. But in this upside-down world of ours, Vitoria is a bad guy and this woman is a good guy.

Just to be clear, this law professor simply doesn't support people she disagrees with getting civil rights.

Disagree with her, and it's all on the table.

I can think of a few things that would work on her.

When the Anacrho Syndicalists of Spain went around dragging congregations out of their churches, then machine-gunning the nuns and priests in front of the congregation, and burning the church down afterwards... killing somewhere over 50,000 people... that lasted from 1931 to past the end of the Spanish Civil War... were all just "expressions of grief and political resistance".

Which is why they started the war.

How can one hold Leftists to rules or morals when they posses neither?

It wasn't a total war, it was expeditions of barely sponsored bands of adventurers.

Actually, you are correct in this case. Women are, on average, more community-oriented than men, who are more individualistic. I'm sure you can see the biological reason for that.

Right, but you only see the 'in-group' bias that you like. People may also have preference for their own family, race, religion, etc.

According to studies, women have an in-group bias, whereas men have a neutral to out-group bias.
