Would you trust a government that constantly undermined your own sovereignty? Islamic extremism is a direct result to western meddling in the middle east. And "meddling" is putting it lightly

The next wars will be over water and food

It was also after the aquital of a person who straight up murdered a black teenager (which caused riots) and a cop who was factually racist. Also the DA tried to move the trial to wildly conservative venue so they could guarantee a conviction.

Ppl like to agrue he got off because he was rich but the political/racial climate probably had a lot more to do with it

Someone paid no attention to religious fundamentalist in history. Religion is just a form of division. No different than race, age, class, or sexuality. If there's a religion (or any other kind of group) they've killed ppl for not conforming

Black ppl unemployment going up is a barometer for overall unemployment numbers. Unemployment always hits us first

The OJ trial had a lot of different circumstances that changed the outcome. You can't even compare

With the exception of wildfires, ppl shooting fireworks are going to lose their health insurance soon anyway. Might as well die from something fun instead of just microplastics

~~Fuckin'~~ Fuck them Mormons.

I vote for this version of Earth. I rather be killed by Kaiju than global warming

And in true cat fashion they make you very aware of their asshole

Meanwhile it seems like the American consciousness think of the Vietnam War as almost a national scar akin to 9/11.

That's because it was the first widely televised war we had ever seen plus it was right in the middle of the Civil rights movement. So a war we lost during a major era of change that influenced American attitudes about warfare and civil rights. It left internal scars

Really shows you the differences in mindset. Americans hold on to the past like it's a lifeline while most other places we kinda just deal with shit and move on.

Well the majority of ppl who remember the Vietnam War are still alive. Considering veterans from Vietnam have health complications from agent orange no one is forgetting anytime soon. Western Europe hasn't had a major war in almost 80 years

If ww2 had happened to America the same way it happened to Europe, they would have made it they whole identity and pissed and moaned about it still. We would never hear the end of it.

This is just a long winded attempt to complain about Americans. Europeans are exactly the same as Americans. You both carry a smug sense of superiority. The only difference is Americans are louder about it. Just look at attitudes about the war in Ukraine or whenever there's a terrorist attack in western Europe compared to anywhere in the global south. Both act like they're the center of the world. Plus its kinda hard to gloat about 2 World Wars that you started in the first place. Only reason it was a world war in the first place is because Europeans felt so superior that they went around colonizing everyone because they were better than everyone else and forced them to get involved

Futher proof that the only race within the police is blue
