Starship Troopers posting
Thank you, you made my day even worse.
Such a massive self-own. It’s clearly saying that empathy is used as a tool to push US interests. Even if you take it the most liberal way possible, what Musk calls “weakness” is lack of hegemonic power, so they’re clearly saying “Elon is wrong, empathy is what we use to keep our world dominance”
Right? And sooo maudlin
Western societies are not empathetic, they’re sympathetic
Empathetic societies do not struggle with social anxiety when self-checkout is closed. Empathetic societies do not allow for homelessness, they do not allow food insecurity.
Sympathetic societies think they are the best and their way of life is how everyone else should live. They are incapable of treating the other as an independent entity of it’s own.
I cannot overstate the significant difference between these two.
This being posted like hours before some nuclear strike on Tehran is gonna be some shit that might finally make me throw this phone off a bridge.
Whelp, time to go cleanse my eyes with mouthwash.
enlightened USAID worker helping the poor African
Back in 2014, Mark Ames wrote an article for the now-defunct Pando that details the exact sort of things USAID and their man Dan Mitrione got up to in Uruguay back in ‘69, training death squads to deal with Tupamaro rebels. This involved demonstrating torture techniques to Uruguayan police by dragging random homeless people off the street and exposing them to electroshock torture to their mouths and genitals until they died.
Mitrione taught local police specialized forms of electroshock torture, introducing wires so thin they could fit between the teeth and gums. He also demonstrated drugs that induced violent vomiting fits, and advised on psychological tortures, such as playing tapes of a woman and child screaming in a room next to the interrogation room, and telling the detainee those are his wife and child. And it was all done under the aegis of USAID.

Why do the kids in Africa depend on USAID?
WHY DO THE KIDS IN AFRICA DEPEND ON USAID MOTHERFUCKER!
Because the hippos ate all the corn
:punished-jared-diamond:
And what did I do to deserve having to look at this?
Panel 1: Nazis
Panel 2: graciously giving brown people food after destabilizing their country
Panel 3: war criminals getting what they deserve
Panel 4: just two assholes
Panel 2 is making people dependent on food aid actually, it’s not even hypocritical it’s straight up evil
Everything about this is wrong. Literally every single fucking thing.
Also cannot help noticing it’s the black dude with his legs blown off at the VA but it’s Lt. Colonel Gruff Whiteman on the front lines with his valiant Ukrainian compatriot who is totally not a Nazi (don’t show them without their shirts on though).
Actually never mind that part is pretty spot on…
Hey why not show Iraqis, Afghans, Libyans, Palestinians, Venezuelans and Cubans?
Heck, during hurricane Katrina Venezuela and Cuba TRIED to exercise empathy and help. I wonder how we’re treating them right now.
Concentrated liberalism coming straight into your veins
