It's not defending conservatives. It's pointing out that European exceptionally comes at the detriment of others which creates many negative opinions of the continent as a whole.

You don't get to claim Europe is already great when their entire way of life is propped on colonization and exploitation on the global south. Whether or not it's only conservatives that don't see them as ppl is debatable considering liberal and conservative alike have exploited African for centuries and actually never stopped.

Was thinking more about the African countries that are still the victims of Eurpean economic colonialism

Europe is already great

That REALLY depends on who you ask

Pump the breaks there buddy. Canada has done plenty of fucked up shit that mirrors America and in some cases were actualy worse. They've just got better PR.

Trump is clearly a fucking asshole facist but ask the First Nations how much better and kinder Canadians are.

So slow genocide with open air prison vs quicker genocide?

To everyone calling them stupid. What exactly should they have done in this situation? What is the better solution when your only options are death or a faster death?

Im genuinely asking

To be fair blackppltwitter was getting flooded by white kids giving white friendly opinions and answers that got overwhelmingly upvoted and became the unofficial black concensus.

"I think white ppl using the n-word is completely fine" type of shit. Not the best way to solve the problem but how exactly do you stop a subreddit based on black culture become overrun by white kids

They were still telling students in med school as recent as the past 4 years that black ppl need less painkillers because we, "Tolerate pain better than other races."

Ppl surprised by this rhetoric haven't been paying attention

you don't find similar attitude among Christians atheists or Jews

This is just a load of bullshit. Christian hate groups definitely exist and if I burned a Bible in rural Alabama, Missisippi, latin America, Russia, and eastern eruope a mob would finish me. The country with the largest irreligious population is the home of the CCP. The government actively putting Muslims in "reeducation camps". Let's ask a Palestinian about Jewish attitudes about burning a Torah?

And try not fall of your high horse as Sweden slides into far right politics like the rest of Europe. You literally have neo nazi terrorists running around Sweden NOW and your talking point of the Quran being so evil sound very similar to theirs

Nah I think most ppl honestly don't care. We don't even care about each other as the western world's entire lifestyle is based on the exploitation of other countries and their ppl.

You expect someone to suddenly give a damn about a cow 500 miles away?

Got a 18 pack from Penny the other day for about 3 or 4 euro. Only thing I miss about American grocery stores are the variety but fuck all that if you can't afford the majority of it

We already do

I'm probably going to get downvoted into oblivion but it's the white middle class that won't do anything until they lose their conveniences. Asian, black, latino, Indian, and middle eastern know they aren't wanted here and their thoughts and opinions are often left ignored or hardly represented in government. They've had the bare minimum for decades and times of political and economic strife hit them first and hardest.

White America rather vote for a con-man that tells them what they want to hear than even fathom the idea of an "undesirable" sharing the same luxuries they enjoy. I got mine fuck you

Revolution doesn't necessarily have to entail violence or blood

Licking a doorknob doesn't necessarily mean you'll get sick but the overwhelming odds are you will. Also using Egypt and Catalonia as examples of peaceful revolutions is strange considering Egypt squashed tons of challenges to the throne, revolts, etc. with violence and Catalonians have engaged in straight up terrorism

Anonymous are not a revolutionary group imo. Revolutions are bloody are done the in the streets. They're a nuisance at best.

what they did was monstrous, so they made a monster" justification that wasn't meant to be taken as the doctrine it became), and he did not intend people would weaponize use of it as a platform,

Personally I think that was pretty naive on Moore's part. It resonates with ppl because it's true. Revolution is often bloody and morally black because ppl have reached their breaking point.

Man fuck Oprah for giving us this dickhead

You've got some brass ovaries my friend

I wish you ppl would stop acting like Bidens response to genocide was so much better. Both of them are massive war criminals who funded/are funding ethnic cleansing and Kamala would've just continued Bidens policy on Israel

The ppl saying I told you so are mostly Americans sitting in relative safety with no friends or family in Gaza. I'm sure the dead children Biden are responsible for are so stressed knowing their parents will have it slightly worse now that Trump is president

It's comments like this that make me glad I know how to read the room

The "liberals" you speak of are just conservatives larping as liberals
