Western Imperialism

  Maybe if we quit blowing them up every chance we get they wouldn’t hate us as much. Think how much aid we could provide for the same amount of money we’re spending to bomb them.

    MAGA is cool with Eastern Imperialism… but not SOUTH Eastern Imperialism. Only Imperialism with ties to Epstein.

    Considering Trump made the decision, it’s probably more like: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  I mean Trump supporters hate the American way of life too:

  • They hate freedom of religion (everyone must be ACE Christian of a very specific kind).
  • They hate freedom of speech (you aren’t allowed to be critical of Trump or the country or aspects of history).
  • They hate that women can vote (constantly hear them call for the removal of women’s suffrage because they vote Democrats). In fact they hate women in general.
  • They hate minorites, especially when they’re doing well. 
  • They hate freedom of the press (book bans, calls to censor journalists and writers).
  • They hate electronic freedom (constant calls to censor websites and communications).

  To them, the American way of life should be akin to the Iranian way of life, except instead of a form of ultra conservative Shia Islam and a personality cult around the Ayatollah, it’s a form of Ultra Conservative Evangelical American Christianity, a form of absolute pseudo-monarchy based around Trump and his family, nationalism wherein the founding fathers are Demi Gods, and a landscape where one very specific form of white American culture is the only culture allowed.

    Hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. That’s how they show they’re above you.

  Lol western countries are the ones who supported putting extreme islamists in power in the first place, creating a hotspot for terrorists and making life worse for the normal folks living in those regions.

    Oh I’m absolutely aware. The irony would be palatable, if it were not done 100% by design to do that. 😢

    Which country(s) are you talking about? In n the case of Iran, the western meddling installed the Shah who was a secular force, overthrown by the extreme Islamists.

    Most “western” countries have been acting like this in the past century and are still to this moment reaping the benefits from colonial and imperialist plunder of the global south. It’s not just the USA, even though it is the most damaging.

  People will always be judged by the actions of thier government. Just listen to how everyone talks to each other online. No matter what you preach, you’ll always be “the west” or “the east”.

  The real issue is ******** but you can’t talk about that

    Throw a caffeine pill in one next time. You’ll remember why they stopped adding it in.

  How much you bet that the moment they get a pro-American Islamist regime, suddenly no one will have problem with Islamism.
