    I’m gonna need a break or something. Its like 65% of the world consists of uncaring, psychopathic assholes. How the fuck did we get here? Its so fucking horrific. Every day I wish I could change our entire existence, and every day I am met with more suffering.

      For what it’s worth I’m pretty sure this Aaron Mate bloke is taking the piss here (he’s a journalist for the Grey Zone).

      But ofc, reality has become so twisted that it’s impossible to tell what’s satire and what’s not these days, especially when it comes to the zionazis.

      What gives me some hope is that the loud minority of unabashed psychos are just that - a minority. Catch me in like 30 min from now when I swing back to, “nuke the west it’s not salvageable”.

      How the fuck did we get here?

      (Guys, no one tell him we’ve been here the whole time)

      I realized the best way to understand Israel and general Western view of the global South is to realize they don’t see the people in the global South as people, they see the people in the global South as violent savages from an Indiana Jones movie; the people in the global South could have better cities than anything we do (and there’s a lot of places that absolutely do), but it’s become important culturally to believe the global South is nothing but violent savages who must be treated that way. We’re not supposed to trust the honesty of the people from the global South, the people from global South don’t love life like we do, they don’t love their families like we do (even though our military murder their families because they know it’ll cause their people anguish), they’re not smart and they’re barely self aware like we are.

      Conservatives naturally believe in the ridiculous IQ statistic that’s been slathered over so many countries in the global South (even though the way the statistics were GENERATED (they weren’t measured, they were calculated) is ridiculous and questionable), and libs AT BEST will be like “No…that’s not…true…that’s racist…” while taking pride in their own intellect and still believing those statistics even though they may speak out against them. The supposed IQ of so many African countries is 60, which is literally impossible because at 60 you would literally struggle to clothe yourself, let alone have any kind of society. Brings to mind when the British assaulted the Benin empire and found their artifacts, they had to tell themselves the Benin hadn’t made them themselves because that would mean they were a complex people with a complex society.

      Remember, eugenics itself OUTSIDE of Israel is still within living memory, in the case of Israel it was only stopped in the last…what, ten years? Apparently the last person they sterilized was a black woman post 2010s. Violent colonialism stopped because it wasn’t feasible or because colonists were violently removed, but the view among most people is still that it stopped because of the benevolence of the West.
