Also works as a valid truth if one stops after “culture…”

No.

Well… yeah… of course they would! Hitler didn’t stop with the first death of a Sergeant!

I once read somewhere that people with lodgings don’t sleep and/or shit in public places! Can you believe that?! Pure delusional nonsense, I’d say, made Lord of The Rings feel like an account of historical facts.

Hello, bad faith argument! I’m out.

No, I’m framing that as “some things are worse than others.” But R.I.P. nuance, I guess.

So your point is… ? How does their aggression figure into justifying your initial observation on a post related to their continued colonisation?

I’m not trying to justify anything, but I’d say it’s pretty hard to compare some local territorial squabbles to literally sailing hundreds of thousands of foreigners on the lands they inhabited, all but exterminating them all when they (quite correctly, if you ask me) fought back against their conditions and the things done to them, then corralling the ones who were left into almost literal zoos.

Yeah, that excuses precisely 0% of what Colonialism did to them and does not absolve the current Powers That Be of that sin, either.

Don’t forget, it’s not our fault, but it is our responsibility.

Actually serves pretty well if one’s goal were to further destabilise things. People have already been convinced that illegal immigrants are to blame for all economic problems (even though it is easier to prove the extreme opposite through a cursory search on the internet), maybe if the downward slope is gentle enough, people won’t start doubting the efficacy of the initially applied solution. Maybe the point was to get them to the next level, get them angry at something else after everything is done with the false problem.

I just don’t see Trump actually wanting what’s his version of “best” for the country. I think he’s on a power play, and the country’s just the kindling.

Maybe I’m talking complete nonsense, but this feels like a… logical escalation. To what, I cannot fathom, although we’ve seen similar movements preclude Totalitarian/Authoritarian regime solidification periods before, where the desperate masses clung to the wrong solution.

I just love how this has become the most controversial thing I’ve ever posted on the internet =))

Nope, ‘that Trump.’ That Trump still exists, that he is president again, that he’s doing what he’s doing, or everything at once, so I just remember that Trump. To me, that’s enough.

Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin’ scary, speaking as a foreigner.

Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

And a whooole lotta suck for the rest of humanity!

Because MMMONEYYY!

Mostly…
