Westoids never fail to disappoint. The liberalism on Lemmy has hit all time high. I’m so tired.
White man’s burden is still the western foreign policy. Never changed.

Justin Roiland brain. Not even once.
The good news about posts like this is that they make me appreciate
a lot.
nostupidquestions
There is now one stupid question.
I’m just exhausted. “Unlike you, I believe the cop at my school is human.” “I just can’t endorse the use of violence.” “We can’t win anything if we’re mean to people.” “Hatred never got us anywhere.”
Oh, where were you when all of the oppression was happening?
“I didn’t agree with that, either.”
Didn’t think to smugly chide those in power, though, now did you? Because that’s inevitable, but our response is unjustified escalation . . .
This site is the only place I can look at news and politics discussion without feeling like I am completely insane
You cannot convince me this is not a child. This is baby’s first reddit atheist moment (and I say this as a reddit atheist).
Did the Rathiests ever actually read the fairytales they mocked?
A lot were probably raised religious.
so was i but I don’t know what that shit was about
The Reddit-brained preoccupation with “adults” magically showing up to solve problems and the problem makers being seen as “infants” does speak of immaturity, but that immaturity can sometimes last a lifetime, especially with the “my old man kicked my ass and I turned out FINE”
crowd.
The most Reddit comment to ever exist. Only missing a porn reference and the word “bacon” in there.
this made me stop being an atheist.
there is a hell and we are in it right now

I started reconsidering atheism and seriously considering Catharism when I came to this realization.
I HATE THE DEMIURGE
I HATE THE DEMIURGE
no one makes me rethink my atheism as fast as a reddit atheist. I’ve resolved to never read anything they’ve written in order to keep the philosophical underpinnings of the way I think on firm ground.
Weaponized “both sides” brainworms wishing psychological torment, suffering, and death on “both sides” to be like a bloodsoaked god of smugness among men.
“why not just deploy some dual faithed Messiah figurehead”
He’s actually asking for CIA Jesus?
“Why don’t we just trick all the simple minded brown people with a shiny new religion?”
Gee I wonder why Americans have a global reputation as being somehow both condescending and self righteous and simultaneously dumber than dogshit.
I blame Dune for injecting this idea into Liberal minds
Except in dune it was a hundred years long project done by a powerful cabal with magical powers.
And the messiah had literally all the best magical powers.
It certainly sharpened the edge on their pizza cutter of a pointless take. I’m a Dune enjoyer and it fucking sucks when people derive bad ideas from it.
Yeah obviously in dune it’s shown as bad because it basically kicked off the biggest genocide of all time
Some galaxy brains just nod along to the “Golden Path” and see the entire galaxy wide atrocity campaign as justified because of what was scribbled in later to justify it after Frank Herbert died. Terminal stage “means to an end” thinking.
Have they considered just not believing in a freaking sky wizard, since that’s all this conflict is really about?I took a look at their profile, and found casual ableism and misanthropy, the
runs deep.
100% this guy does some retail or email/excel/IT office job. Why are they speaking like they have any influence on American foreign policy lmao

I didn’t used to understand foreign involvement in wars. I still don’t understand but I used to not understand too.
this is one of the propaganda lines that westerners have been fed about the war. some of the ones I can think of:
-
this war has been going on forever
-
this is a religious conflict
-
it’s extremely complicated and ~nuanced~
for each one of these, the conclusion is “well, we can’t really do anything about it, it’s unsolvable”. in reality, any reading of the history tells you that it hasn’t been going on all that long, it has next to nothing to do with religion, and it’s not complicated. Israel is clearly in the wrong, and there is a clear way to end the conflict practically overnight.
Yep, blew my mind when I realized the people who were saying “it’s a thousand year old religious conflict, an eternal battle between jews and muslims” were 100% full of shit. Israel was invented after WW2 and is a pretty clear cut colony and occupier. It’s so simple it’s hilarious, Israel is completely illegal and illegitimate
Israel is in the wrong but I don’t think there’s a way to end it overnight
the US is basically the only country that provides diplomatic cover for Israel, every other country in the world is sick of their shit (as witnessed by endless UN resolutions). end all aid to them, end all diplomatic cover, sanction them into oblivion, and I guarantee you the occupation is over within a week.

I have bad news to you about the other garden countries.
Obviously US allies will support US foreign policy. If the US stopped caring or being powerful that would change quickly.
Isolate Israel diplomatically, cut off their funding from Europe/America and watch them slowly dissolve as the military breaks down and most of the population moves back to their original nations of origin.
Sorry but I simply cannot be a real Jewish man if I’m forced to worship with poor Jews in the US. I need to feel powerful by kicking out a family of 5 and feeling oppressed when they take shots at me
The incredible thing is that one of the first results for the conflict is an article from the liberal media outlet Vox which calls all three of those talking points a myth
-
We’re reaching levels of liberal condescension that shouldn’t even be possible
Unironic White Man’s Burden shit
These Childlike Natives just cannot be trusted with the dehumanizing and oppressive social order that we graciously designed for them!
this is a certified
momentIs that person American? Do they really think of a country born out of genocide just a few hundred years ago is more “adult” than the cradle of civilization itself, continually occupied by humanity since beyond memory, which has seen the rise and fall of countless nations and empires

They do, because to them “history is bunk” and even if it isn’t, this time around there are Wunderwaffen and the internet which makes the tides of history irrelevant, so they believe.
DAE le adults in the room?
i didnt used to understand foreign involvement …
hey everyone the war understander has logged on.
