True. Figures if you’re getting your ass blitzed by an opponent you’ll have the most inside knowledge on them.

Many nations were liberated thanks to the Nazi spanking of the Brits, as evil as the Nazis were.

The Brits were starving the colonies then (ie. comitting genocide), akin to the current day starvation of Gazans by Zionists.

The world is an interesting and complicated place. Amazing how good can come from evil, even if unintended.

Why? What did China do to deserve massive amount of Opium flooding their market and if they deserved it, wouldn’t that also be true for the US today?

Was it not the Soviets that did that? But I’m sure there’s some aristocratic British twat that would like to take credit for it.

Depends on what type of socialization you’re referring to. Socializing with coworkers and other parents through your kids activities is not uncommon.

How much of that is modern tech and social media? I’d argue the Gen Z xoome meeting blank stare can be blamed as much on tech as the pandemic. This is the first generation that grew up living as much online as they do in the “real world”

I condemn this.

There are no bacteria in your eye. These perceptual disturbances are due to increased retinal sensitivity to vitreous substance. It’s why they move when around like they’re in liquid when you turn your head fast.

Considering this guy got re-elected, there may be some overlap with American qualities here.

Yes, thats part of the why but it’s still odd culturally from the perspective of the rest of the world especially since what you’re describing occurred 100+ years ago and the terminology has likely only persisted because of the US’ gun obsession.

Sounds like the US’ chickens coming home to roost. After creating those conditions with their CIA elsewhere for decades.

Not really off script for Abrahamic religions though.

Never said Westerners were the only imperialists. But the scale of their foreign interference, in recent times, is unmatched. The Japanese mostly stayed within East Asia.

You can attempt to throw out as many supposed counter-examples you like. Nothing will match the scale of destruction and genocide that was the European colonial era.

No one is saying that the Europeans were the only ones that lacked the ethical framework to forego the colonial pursuit. The point is that they absolutely did lack that ethical framework and, well, here we are. There are many cultures on Earth that would not have done what they did, if given the same circumstances. Even though I know you’d prefer to focus on the cultures that would.

That doesn’t mean white people are more evil or violent. I personally beleive Abrahamic religions are often interpreted by their followers as a justification for conquest. It’s part of why Europe and the Middle East are so similar in their imperialistic aspirations over the past millennia.

Also you’re not a sociopath. The argument that you suggested is sociopathic though.

We can speculate they’d hop on a boat and do that but the reality is only one region of the world actually did it on a scale that was globally disruptive in recent history.

In any case, it’s still a sociopathic argument that relies on gaslighting.

They have suprisingly open hiring policies, unlike some American institutions under the current regime.

This was a common argument used in the colonial era and is actually a common rationalization used by sociopaths (if you had my ability you’d hurt people too).

People are people. We are more a product of our environments than any innate differences.

Europeans and their descendants have had environmental pressures that led to certain advantages which they were willing to capitalize on globally. The inhumanity involved was predicated on dehumanizing other peoples and cultures, giving birth to white supremacy. The resultant industrialization they sought after has wreaked havoc on our planet and may bring our species to extinction through climate change.

I appreciate where your dad was coming from. It’s disappointing that we live in a world where your father even had to challenge such a proposterous notion (racial superiority).

But white people are not more violent. In the same way, I don’t see any accomplishment by a white person as unique to their race. They are human accomplishments first and, in my view, could have been achieved by any person in the same environmental circumstances.

I don’t even see white people as an amalgamation anymore. Or any ‘race’ for that matter. My ancestors are Indian so you can imagine we don’t all see or refer to ourselves as just Indian (an identity that within it holds 1500 dialects). I don’t think it’s a meaningful designation. It’s happenstance.

I’m much more interested in the specifics. Particularily, defining and understanding a persons worldview. If youre a person that tries to put people on a hierarchical ladder based on arbitrary physical traits, we’re probably not going to vibe. If you’re someone that understands that identity is fluid and evolves over time (just as our values might) and have a goal of making life better for ourselves and others then I would reassert what I said earlier. We are more similar than we are different.

They’re an existential threat to our species so I’m totally ok with giving them their own nation as a quarantine measure. They would immediately declare war when they realize their society/economy is dysfunctional either due to global ostracization or not having access to legacy wealth accruing mechanisms created during colonial times. The question is if America would come to their rescue as they have for the worlds other “favorite” ethnostate.

Does Nazi Fascistostan have a right to exist?

They’ve gotten friendlier with the West in the past few decades. The distrust is for good reason given history of Western foreign interference (colonialism) and the US having a close relationship with Pakistan pre Bin Laden.

Amazing how generous we are with our language when the criminal is Hitler-approved demographically.

In an open marketplace I’m afraid that is a competitive disadvantage Especially with a 1 in 3 approval rating.
