Call it what it is, colonizers.

Nah sorry he wasn’t brown

Honestly so do I but more like culturally rich rather than literally. Islam would be Hella dim if it wasn’t for Persian influences, and I say this as a non Persian.

I wouldn’t trust the ethnostate data

What does it mean between the pope and air conditioning? Not that heard that one before

This is some white saviour bullshit right here and I say that as a brown south Asian born in Britian. Most people want to be treated like equal humans, not charity cases, not terrorists. A human being capable of human achievement and human malice. If someone treats me “ah too sweetly and gently” because I’m brown like my best friends Oxford mother does at time, I see it as extremely condescending and arrogant. But I was also very fortunate to grow up in a safe enough environment to grow and learn about these things that many of my ethnic background never get to.

As an ethnic Punjabi, I must say, fuck the Pakistani army those corrupt and evil bastards. They couped the only democratic leader we had in decades with the endorsement of big daddy USA and now regressing as a nation. Our location means Pakistan needs a powerful army but it’s now been used against the people and while not as bad as India, our treatment of Kashmir is subpar

I hope the world never forgets this, I never will, nor will I let the next generation. We are propagandised all throughout school about ww2 and the holocaust. So wtf is this???

If this is what they do to their allies, can you imagine what they do to prisoners/enemies?

How many more need to die before the west recognise it’s endorsing, funding and defending a very active genocide? Does anyone out there really believe only 40k have died? Or even 180k? Once the dust has settled it won’t suprise me if over half a million were killed and the west absolutely defending while going in circles airing their unequivocal support for Jews like what the actual fuck. Nobody has any right to dare talk about anti semitism again after this war, because I longer respect anti semitism, they’ve caused enough suffering in Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and so on.

Generally I found more sensible people on Lemmy but I guess not everyone is that logical here 🤷

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Before I fully started using Lemmy maybe a month ago, Instagram and my former safe haven Reddit become absolutely toxic. I go from one to another and it’s always people being blown up and comments saying most racist shit ever. People being racist misogynistic and other bs all the time (which can be funny in certain circumstances but not these one) So far I love the Lemmy community I’ve had some actual thought provoking conversation I’ve not had since early Reddit. I pray to get Lemmy never changes to to much in that regard

And what’s wrong with other nations taking position there that aren’t western? Sad you can no longer exclusively exploit African resources? Chinese relations with the global South is infinitely better than American/Britiish/french relations. I absolutely welcome china but not so much about Russia

This is good shit

Damn bro

I 1000% agree with this sentiment and to be honest im similar (except engineering EE srufent) and I was managing the world fine with all the increased algorithm and whatnot till COVID hit. I went from immensely internet literate and techy to depressed and stuck on social media all the time from waking up to sleeping I’ll check Instagram (even tho I avoided tiktok for that same reason) honestly I still struggle with this, cause social media is more toxic, pain, and mind destroying then ever before. I hope I can cut this addiction before it’s too late

Russian interest have little to do with western European interests any further then not allowing anyone else challenge their dominance. I want a free Ukraine, but after seeing how the west sees Palestine and how Ukraine was the largest money laundering front to Israel. Ontop if their refugees coming into Europe being some of the most extremely racist (which is fine but I find so hypocritical coming from the demonisation from real refugees from around the world who dont look like them)

Individual Ukrainians are decent most of the time but the Ukrainian govt can be wiped off the map for all I care

“it could be worse” the majority of the world would disagree the healthcare system is bad for America but your military corporation are bad for the planet. Israels little dog will supply them with all they need to bomb the middle east and have killed hundreds of thousands already. I promise you every genocide and massacre nowadays America is often complicit in

Problem is the surrounding nations bar Lebanon are conplicit, so you will be competing with the Israeli, Egyptian, American army/intelligence.

As an EE student it absolutely blows my mind how nuclear energy hasn’t become more prevalant when even with all disasters considered nuclear is still safer per unit of energy
