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.

Everything's to the west if you go far enough.

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 in order to to do just that. 😢

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] OriginEnergySux@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

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

Cultural tribalism, corporate tribalism, political tribalism - everyone has their flavour

Those Cheesy Gordita Crunches™ hit the spot though.

Wash it down with a refreshing Mountain Dew Baja Blast™!

I miss four lokos with caffeine.

[-] Entertainmeonly 17 points 2 months ago

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

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 8 points 2 months ago

I remember that you have about six of them than wake up with handcuffs on.

[-] Entertainmeonly 10 points 2 months ago

Madlad you got six of those down? My best was remembering opening a third can. Only the opening.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah the first couple helped the shakes and the next couple is where the fun starts.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] madmantis24@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 months ago

Already going on in Dubai, doesn't even register with the brood of MAGAts
