  I’m starting to think that Israel is where most of the evil in the world comes from.

  Living in the US as somebody who pays attention to the world and cares about people and stuff is absolutely surreal sometimes.

  It’s especially so when you’re one of the last people to have had an analog childhood (The Oregon Trail generation represent) so all the adults you knew as a child grew up in the post-ww2 prosperity and genuinely believed all the American exceptionalism stuff.

  The only thing it seems we are best at is striking the perfect evil balance where I can’t decide if it feels more Black Mirror or more Hunger Games.

  How to locate evil forces: start asking questions about human rights. Noted.

  If the idiots can’t see the trend yet, will they ever?

    To the idiots, the trend is that the US and Israel are the only great countries on earth.

  I’m just waiting for the world leaders, one after another, to cut all ties with both these entities. Will they dare? Will they form a new alliance? Will the world unite against the true tyrants? Stay tuned.

    The Israel’s “anti-jew/antisemitic” rhetoric only works with the west, so it could take a very long time for leaders with bigger balls to just say “that’s not gonna work anymore”. USA is currently on the path to self isolation.

    They won’t unite out of morality, but preservation.

    Unfortunately, there may still be a long way to go, assuming the leadership doesn’t deny reality up until the nuke launches start.

      It depends what end game they all want for us.

    It’s already happening, but it’s in usually a slow disentangling of payment systems, software, tech, … Just cut and run would be very damaging. And like many things in politics it’s often two steps forward one step back.

      Yes I know it takes time, but hopefully it’s done while trump is still alive.

    Our EU leaders are sell-outs and still US bootlickers despite their act.
    The ghoul VDL is blaming Iran for defending themselves.

  I’d like a list of all UN resolutions that (almost only) the USA & Israel vetoed, pretty please.

  • StillAlive@piefed.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Israel doesn’t have veto powers as they’re not in the security council. They can only vote ’no’.

  Nestlé, claiming to be the country of Hydra, claimed a cultural and historic right to all the world’s fresh water, stating that it was promised to them 3000 years ago.

  Ragebait. This happened five years ago, as stated in the article. Why is this being brought up again?

  • tias@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Because nothing has changed since then, except for the worse.

  I know at least one of those countries is way overfed.

    Overfed with low nutrition and high subsidised fructose slop

  Personally, I don’t believe anyone has human rights. It is the wolves right to hunt the gazelle for food, and it’s the gazelle’s right to evade him. Although I am not against uplifting poorer countries, I feel like they would just become more wolves if they got their shit together.

    People are not predators and prey. A species that hunts its own kind is monstrous. Lions don’t eat other lions. Neither wolves, or tigers or any other mammal predators hunt and eat their own. To sort people into predators and prey is flawed on a fundamental Epstein-style level. Such people exist, and the vast majority of humans consider them abominations. As they should.

    This message brought to you by someone whom almost certainly would shit themselves and die if they ever encountered a wolf IRL.
