The complete inability of Westerners to conduct even basic ass diplomacy at a time when the world order is shifting so quickly gives me so much schadenfreude

Negging sure didn't work to pick up chicks at the bar but I'm sure it will work to conduct international diplomacy
Cool, so does that mean Europeans owe communism their loyalty because Stalin quite literally saved those barbarians from themselves?
Unlike what Macron said, actually yes
Fun fact and partially in response to queermunist here, due to the Mongolian invasions (which only ended in 1480) much of Eastern Europe was underdeveloped in infrastructure and many other areas compared to Western Europe until the communists came in to ramp development way the hell up.
That's right, Western Europe got to have their adventures on the 15th century equivalent of the Lolita Express in 1492 while Eastern Europe had to clean up after actually doing the hard work for the last few centuries, a process which may still be underway but attained the most progress under the Soviet Union.
Is there anywhere else in the world that may have been having to do the hard work at that time while Western Europe got to luxuriate in privilege? 🤔
You've put me in an interesting dilemma. They do but I don't think the same is true for Africa and France.
Most of the workers of the western capitalist hegemony owe the soviets a great deal.
The specter of communism gained us massive concessions from the piggies as a bulwark against wholesale global revolution.
i owe him my life, indirectly
School bully takes your lunch money, your shoes, and your pencil then spits in your face. Then says “You’re welcome.”
If I didn't spit in your face that other bully would have shit in your mouth, the bully said about the other bully currently spitting in peoples' faces
Highly recommend reading How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. The idea that Africa benefited from European colonialism is an ahistorical lie based on racism.
an ahistorical lie based on racism.
What is American and European history?
Baby's first Nazi propaganda.
Oh it was a rhetorical question, sorry.
I think it was a Jeopardy joke
Apology accepted, comrade.
I'm honestly curious as this is my second time looking at this message. I remember posting it and going "I wonder if people are still going to recognize Jeopardy!, it might go over people's heads." I'm trying to squint my eyes and I can't do it. What makes the post look like Nazi propaganda? Is it as if I'm saying "America and Europe have been helping Africa since their inception."?
No lol I was making a joke about American/European history as told by themselves being Nazi propaganda, I wasn't calling you out. I did get that it was a jeopardy thing 😅
OHHHH! I see it:
Q: What is American and European history?
A: Baby's first Nazi propaganda.
Mystery solved!
The arrogance of the Fr*nch is unmatched.
Well almost,
why is he like this, even if he thinks that, it would be better off just not saying anything.
Because he can't help himself. He's egoistic (what do the French call em)... connard... like all French people act, in regards to their imperial legacy.
connard
I'm more partial to démon.
But fellow anglos know what that means, so calling him an asshole is probably better.
It's impressive how much French are able to get away with in terms of chauvinism, jingoism, imperialism and neo-colonialism not to mention implicit or explicit racism. They managed to craft, I believe by design, an image that appeals across a broad political spectrum by sustaining the view that France is a prestigious and romantic country that ironically is amplified and projected even further by Anglosphere and has purchase even in many leftist circles who idealize France and French.
Probably get a pass because most people don't speak French; I saw a translated news segment a while ago where they explained how Hamas were barbaric and enjoyed the act of killing people while the IDF merely pushed buttons and how children killed by the IDF should be grateful it was the IDF who killed them because they're more merciful in their kills than anyone else.
I guess if Jean-Philippe Pedophilé-en-Masse hadn't drawn those particular lines there'd be very different countries there today
Fucking monstrous behavior. History will not absolve you, Macron.
Weird... wonder why so many of these countries had to struggle for liberation from France and other European countries. Its almost as if for a long time Europeans had, IDK, colonized (???) and stolen sovereignty from the peoples of Africa. And then even after they liberated themselves from their imperialist rulers, those very same imperialist rulers used their power to maintain their exploitative relationship with the nations of Africa through multinational corporations and meddling in affairs for several more years.
He has the same energy as the UK primary school history syllabus. “We may have started the slave trade but we were the ones who abolished it!”
Mr macron should be grateful his head is still attached to his shoulders
well it's half true, a lot of those African rulers would not have a sovereign country if it weren't for france. Some other African ruler who wasn't bribed by mayos would
Holy shit! Fuck this guy.
Macron should be grateful his head hasn't been yet.
Macron resisting the urge to use the phrase "white man's burden" like
I'll celebrate the day this piece of shit is beaten to death with hammers
To complete this grotesque character, the only thing remaining is a crown. Though he does have a crown in a sense, since every French president is also the Prince of Andorra.
they should thank france only for giving them something to unite against

Incredible that someone can be even less educated about pre-colonial Africa than even me. I'm straight up ignorant. I only just discovered the fascinating history of like, ONE tiny corner of the continent the other day and it was so cool to read about.
