“The forgotten war” refers to the Korean war. I’m asking you to learn about the Korean war.

“Contender” “destroying” oh my god please shut up

No they don’t, actually. And the way you brush off someone asking you to learn something with a vacuous smug affectation should be your first clue that you are indeed uneducated at least.

Grunge is dead. “I don’t care everything sucks” is infantile. Everyone has seen the ‘both sides it’s complicated taking a position is a sign of mental illness’ bullshit enough at this point. It’s a trick to feel smart that doesn’t work anymore. Get a new bit.

That’s impossible to believe but you can swallow the idea they tell their people they’ve dug up unicorns. You believe they make everyone have the same haircut as the dictator but you can’t believe that an enemy of a country currently assisting and giving protection to a genocide could be the good guy.

You live in the largest, most expensive propaganda machine that’s ever been created by man

You’re talking about a country and an ideology that propaganda machine has been willing to burn the world with nuclear hellfire to contain for a hundred years

Learn about the things you’re talking about. “The forgotten war”

Yes. North Korea is and has always been the good guys.

You’re supposed to moderate the underlying fascism of the system enough to placate the mostly liberal professional PMC class workers that you need to run the apparatus of the state. It was fine when they were simply preventing them from having clean drinking water and killing them by the hundreds every few years. As long as the West Bank residents had an (Israeli) police they could call when settlers drove them out of their homes at gunpoint, there was at least a procedure to follow. This isn’t letting those people feel like everything is working as intended.

Please say this isn't normal.

I recently discovered my father was unclogging toilets for god knows how long with the toilet brush. Like stabbing and twisting. Better than a plunger he says.

Stupidest thing I’ve heard all day and it’s the first thing I’ve read today. First you have the world’s #1 consumer and the guys who literally run the world with their military and economic empire; the guys who sent all the manufacturing to China in the first place. And then you’ve got the world’s biggest economy, the place where all the shit is actually made, and the country that’s already doing the most in the world to switch to clean energy.

This summit without those two examples is nothing but a joke.

lmao “lack of morality” because we’re celebrating a dead cop

burn in hell

How can you both say that the war is a vanity project for the rich and powerful and the same time argue that the deaths caused by it have meaning?

But that’s what you’re saying, right? These deaths are valuable just for the sake of fighting in some abstract sense? Because the bad guy is bad?

If you think there’s glory in these deaths then stop cheering from the backfield and take the place of someone gang pressed off the street.

Yeah no shit a brick wall will let you say all the dumb shit you want without pushback

“You can’t be racist against Mexicans because it’s a country not a race!”

And that’s why you supported the breakaway republics?

All they have to do to stop the deaths is go back

Not that Russia isn’t taking casualties, but why do Ukraine supporters act like they’re not the ones feeding their people into the meat grinder? Russia is dug in. You’re sending children and old men into a turkey shoot.

A sociopath told you that you aren’t capable of having moral judgements about people dying and that you needed to listen to vetted experts instead. It’s not complicated actually. I contend that pointless death is in fact a bad thing

Please upvote this comment if you are a liberal and this headline gave you pause and maybe a nagging “are we the baddies?” moment of reflection

Mind palace history. Ukraine turned away from Russia when the west sponsored a coup against the legitimately elected government and the regime they were replaced with was pro-west.
