There is something to be said about a society that allows the worst of its members to make all the decision. At some point, the rest of the society has to take responsibility for the atrocities said society commits. And that's particularly so in case of western societies which claim to be democracies. You can't have it both ways.
Have you looked at any non-western society? Name one that doesn't work like that
That's pretty easy. Take a look at China, Cuba, Vietnam, DPRK, as just a few examples. None of them are invading countries or plundering the world.
Okay, this is one reading of the image, although China does some invading of its own (e.g., Tibet, Hong Kong).
The core point for me is that people are less concerned about the suffering of people far away and strongly concerned with small annoyances in their everyday lives. AFAIKT that's the same in all those countries, didn't see any selfless citizen movements recently to stop the genocide in Sudan for example
Yeah that's not what invading is bud. Hong Kong is literally part of China that the Brits annexed. Meanwhile, Tibet was liberated from literal slavery. The core point is that it's the western regimes that dominate the world and commit atrocities across the globe on constant basis.
Sure bro
When you have no counter point but you're too stubborn to admit it
When you call the invasion of Tibet a liberation from slavery, no further discussion for you bro
the freeing* of Tibet
