    No you’re right, we should take the side of the government who actively performs military drills off the coast of a mostly defenseless island of people to subjegate them. The side of a country who has countless times shown us they not only don’t respect our way of living but actively support our enemies like Russia. The side of a country that if given the option would propagandize us the same way they do their citizens. Heard of Tiananmen square?

    I’d rather be exploited by billionaires for my work than lied to, manipulated by, exploited by, then murdered by my government in the streets.














  • See, I only have patience for one kind of stupidity and it’s ignorance. Those who simply haven’t learned and are trying to. They didn’t ask a question though, didn’t inquire for more information, made no attempt to acknowledge the importance of the assembly they claim needs to be disbanded. They made a confidently moronic statement and should be ridiculed as such.

    You’re allowed to believe something that’s wrong but the moment you take that belief, turn it into confidence, and then preach that to others as if you knew better - off to the stockade, ready the tomatoes. We have at our disposal countless ways to educate oneself, forums for asking questions, The Library of Alexandria multiplied infinitely at our fingertips. To not use it at the mere prospect of doubt is an insult to everyone who has made such a thing possible.

    Politics are hard, they’re messy, they’re really dumb, but they’re important and even when nothing gets done, something does. The UN is a critical pillar of world cohesion even if we haven’t gotten there yet. To dismantle it would be akin to taking a jackhammer to the foundation of a half built home. It should be easy to understand that by anyone paying attention.
