You could’ve told me it was America and I wouldn’t have known any better…

Honestly? Probably something like rage or pride… 🙃

Maybe the way isn’t just killing and incarcerating the past generation of murderers without a demolition of the ideologies and attitudes that led to it, in order to rebuild a society that ‘naturally’ abhors violence, that enjoys <-> tolerates other tribes while always recognising that people are people, that our differences are basically superficial and nobody is born evil, that life is ‘sacred’ and money is secondary… Maybe then, we could better prepare for rich fuggs who seek to profit from war and disunity and will use the 80% of unthinking sheep for their benefit. You can’t just kill ideas like racism, like vacuous consumerism, like “Crusades good! Lebensraum! God wills it!”, people need to give them up willingly before. If not for the sake of doing what’s right, at the very least for the sake of long term safety.

We shall see in the next 20 years how this plays out through the decline of the US and EU, and the eventual total collapse of at least one of those.

Evil that’s necessary isn’t evil, just painful.

Anyway, my example: a fever? 😅

Lol, idk if it’s necessarily that, maybe she’s just witchy!

I mean, the Americans + European vassals literally couped, bombed and invaded several countries in the past few decades and only those with the military capacity to stand against them haven’t lost their sovereignty but okay. Nvm the shitton of American bases surprisingly placed in very geopolitically relevant spots, lol, they’re just for decoration I’m sure. Or how up until not that long ago there was a ‘United States Taiwan Defense Command’ 🤷🙄.

C’mon man, unless you’re aware and just getting paid for this (I doubt it), your ignorance is dangerous. And you better shake off that imperialist propaganda cause trust me it’s not gonna help when the empire runs out of easy foreign targets and comes home knocking…

I don’t think you understand what I meant or you’re not arguing in good will. Or you and everyone frantically downvoting are just having a gut reaction because of your propagandised brains. Check what MacArthur said about Taiwan: the overall idea hasn’t changed, just the resources allocated to it and its organization…

He was anti-war but was born and raised in the empire? What a traitor!

Consider relocating somewhere safe where people are still humane on average, if you can. Kinda sad and unfair on you to isolate yourself…

The same Russia gained from invading Ukraine, I guess: securing themselves from future, final NATO aggression by proxy.

Nothing of that nature has happened to me yet, but, for instance, my wife dreamed about my dad (first time) and told me about it some hours before my mom called me to tell me he had died.

The creator (ideally) knows what they wanted to say, their effectiveness in expressing it is skill-dependent. Those engaged with their content should be able to understand what the creator tried to say, which is also skill-dependent (if you’re clever enough you can even understand what the creator wanted to say even if they don’t communicate it properly/at all!). You can also ‘take it’ this or that way, even while knowing that the creator didn’t mean it that way.

Is the epidemic one of loneliness or one of improper socialization, a background fear of people and purposelessness? Sadly, idk how to make people change their minds and hearts besides just talking to them and hoping something sticks.

I watch competitive LoL and I’m not Asian: any close loss is a victory!

Moreover, getting upset because the side you have arbitrarily selected to support isn’t winning… How does one grow into adulthood and remain this silly?

Unless you have close friends or family members playing in the match, any heightened emotionality linked to sports is definitely a sign of shallowness and immaturity. And an angry sports fan? Pfff. My cat is more mature than them and she’s a tortie!

That’s actually insane. I’m sorry, OP, I don’t know how I would deal with it besides just letting time do its thing. And I’m NGL, I don’t think I’ve ever even been in a room with someones as devilish as your ex…

Maybe? If she actually had the people’s trust and took power in a system that was already far from democratic, simply because she’s not a money-worshipping sociopath, I certainly would. It’s better than what most of us have gotten as leaders, at least in the West, in recent memory.

However, while I do think a good chunk of the world is in grave need of a radical ideological change and that pretty much all of our wounds are collectively self-inflicted (imagine if people actually believed in being righteous before all and were rightly guided? If people had moral shame? Every imperialist massacre would stop tomorrow…), I don’t think we could enforce it, so I truly wonder how necessary it would be for my wife to be a dictator. “Yes, baby, perhaps this area of the world has gone to shit, let’s just go somewhere else instead of fighting the wave of zombies and their masters?” is probably what I would say, lol. Regardless, whatever change that I think could justify taking power even if massively unpopular would be to force a change that, sadly, can only to come from within, voluntarily. If we could just find a way to remind people to remember they and others are human, that would be great.

You’re just saying words now, lol.
