I can't do this anymore. I'm just not strong enough to keep reading such stupid takes.

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.

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
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.
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).
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.
"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.
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.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.

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 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.
"adults interfering" is how isn'treal was formed
i didnt used to understand foreign involvement …
hey everyone the war understander has logged on.
DAE le adults in the room?
This imaginary of the non-European world as inherently stationary and needing to be dragged [by the West] into civilisation kicking and screaming naturally gravitated towards biological explanations of power relations. Within this context, invocations of [...] infantilising tropes were not just distasteful transgressions or individual eccentricities, but rather a way of justifying the imposition and monitoring of a wide range of juridical practices of domination and disciplining.
Ntina Tzouvala, from “Capitalism as Civilisation.”
I was readying a whole rant and your quote covered all my points succinctly. But I want to feel like I'm part of the discussion so I'll just regurgitate relevant stuff from media I enjoy
"Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth."
I didn’t used to understand foreign involvement in wars
But I can see why after watching this Israeli Palestine Conflict since birth.
Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?
First of all, that's racist as fuck. Second of all, are they saying what I think they are?
Liberals are back to 2001 era "glass the desert" rhetoric.
He was a very unusual toddler
Assuming OP is American, it’s likely that he wants to literally kill infants.
look they're a reasonable person they just think the proper response to being upset by a news story is to kill everyone involved
That post has to be by a child.
🤮
Adults need to intervene to take away that person's internet.
That first sentence is a real brain-melter
I didn't used to understand foreign involvement in wars. I still don't, but I didn't used to, too.
"yeah, i've been paying attention to this conflict pretty much since i was born. don't think anything important happened with it before i was born so that's pretty much enough for me to comment on it."
bro just smoke a bone and mellow
Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?
with implications of lethal retaliation against what they call infants. Reddit brain, not even once.Except in this analogy somebody came into your sandbox, drew a little circle and said that's yours and the rest is mine, keeps knocking down the sandcastle you built in your circle for several decades and then when you got mad and knocked down one of his once your parents kill you.
Its physically painful that most people think like this. Then they point fingers and say that other countries use propaganda and their citizens are clueless about reality.

It's reddit. That site is just smug 4chan at this point.
It's similar to the "white man's burden" trope from a century ago
While my partner didn't have a brain dead take like this, I did have to give them a thorough explanation earlier on why the Israeli occupation is unacceptable and always will be until the settlement is removed. My partner is aware of some terrible policies and why those policies shouldn't exist, but hegemonic diasporas simply aren't on their radar. I'm just glad they're receptive and try to understand rather than falling prey for dumb hot takes like the screenshot above.
