Trying my hardest to be civil in this uncivilised world.
Eh, whatever religious significance it ever had in the West is long gone, but it’s still a nice occasion to meet up with family, break bread and share gifts. I’m not much for rites and celebrations, to a point my wife hates, but I see the value of it (and in sharing with your loved ones, ofc) even if it’s completely separate from religion.
It can be a social faux pas but people just mean well with that question, they wanna share in your happiness and celebrate you. I learned how it can backfire quite early in life, though, after accidentally complimenting a teacher in the middle of class when she wasn’t expecting, she had just gained weight over the summer. 🥲
“Only we can kill!”
Tangential: I remember being freaked out the first time I had surgery with local anaesthesia because I couldn’t feel anything and, whilst more comfortable, it was more concerning than feeling the pain, because then at least you’re feeling something!
🙏❤️👋
Yup. Grotesque. They’re just in it for the dough (and the lolz, apparently).
She wouldn’t have been so gross about everything at least… But Trump is less a problem by itself and more a symptom of underlying societal issues. He’s still a hell-destined cunt, of course, lol.
I’m almost entirely convinced this is some Christian (read: Roman/Western/pagan) invention. It just seems so out of character for someone who focused on real life like greed and imperialism, and up until then hasn’t been shown as someone who’s into blood rites, lol.
Death to America. 🥲
What are the crimes against humanity committed by the Iranian government? There’s no “they’re like us”, no one is/has been like America and their crimes besides the old Western powers it replaced, like France and the UK. And if you’re talking about their internal issues, that actually caused the death of many innocents (and some paid actors), I ask you: you do understand that, just like in many countries over the world, America has tried to psyop, destabilise and coup the country for decades, inflicting maximum punishment with harsh economic sanctions, right? You know how easy it is to lead a country while you’re being choked by the world’s rapists?
No, man, get it together. At least a third of Americans voted for and approved of Donald Trump, but even more so approve of American imperialism as Obama has record drone kills and Biden was chummy af with Israel. Idk what the percentage of “third party voters” is in America but they could be the only to classify as “different from their leadership”. Open your eyes, your country has fucked everyone outside of it against their wills, literally and metaphorically, and that’s not because you’re being mind controlled by a group of amoral foreigners but because it’s in the country’s ethos and the American mind just cares about material benefit (this is why we can’t just say “hey, innocents are dying because of the American military, that should stop”, we have to convince them with the price of oil and other things like that)… Trump is just a very ugly mirror to the country’s actual values, and if you truly are against all of it you’re as rare as a needle in a haystack.
The American empire’s collapse is unstoppable and white Americans will be, finally, negatively affected by the system, yes. If you recognise the despicable sins of your so-called culture and disavow Americanism/white supremacy, you will be able to build something new, something human, but if you don’t you’ll just continue being the world’s villains. 🤷
Any country that dislikes the toll can just get it reimbursed by the American government. 🤷
His base doesn’t care, in fact they love it, every murdered brown person is a victory in their eyes. And this is the true face of Western culture, the one that murdered and pillaged around the world, extracting resources and living comfortably thanks to their sins. Trump is just the most “honest” leader of this camp, at least in recent memory.
The real face of American civilization, and boy is it ugly.
In the context of the current imperialist war by America and Israel on Iran? Obviously, everything else being equal, the Iranian soldier.
First time anyone’s ever asked me that question, hehe. It would be my pleasure! 😅
I didn’t check but “dissenting opinions” can easily just be manipulative disinfo that will direct the least intellectually competent one way or another. No, takes that are close to reality are valid and useful, and attitudes that are prosocial and virtues are the only ones worth having, everything else is incomplete/trash.
Idk what you said in those online spaces, I didn’t click the links, honestly, so don’t think I’m coming for you personally. But two things are not the same just because they’re in the same category (sure, poop IS edible but it’s not the same as spaghetti bolognaise), and takes and attitudes aren’t all worth the same, and I’d rather have a “closed community” of diverse righteous folks sharing things competently truthfully than have to share it with amoral beasts and the offensively mentally challenged.
I LIVE MY DAY AS IF IT WAS THE LAST
Either that one or “Dance Monkey”. Just the musical equivalent of testicular torsion.
The “circus” part of bread and circuses.
Where are you from, OP?
