Vegans are well aware of this phenomenon.
People will tend to wave away atrocities by saying the victims "can't feel it" or "don't know what's going on."
We see it all the time in things like the treatment of indigenous people and the mutilation of baby's genitals.
Veganism is the solution, yes.
Future generations will look back on us like we were crazy and barbaric for eating meat.
What about the poor conscripted Ukrainians getting slaughtered because they've been duped into thinking they can win?
You don't ever think about those, huh.
They would've surrendered by now if not for the belief they could win with western equipment.
Did you think they were going to take back Crimea? At what point do you acknowledge you may be a victim of propaganda?
Answer: never. Propaganda is only the tool of the enemy, always. Lol.
funding Ukraine is an efficient investment.
That’s not “for the west”.
Funding Ukraine is an efficient investment for the west...
Might wanna brush up on your reading comprehension.
You'll understand when you're older.
That doesn't make any sense, considering support for Israel was the main cause behind the 9/11 attacks.
Seems like support for Israel is good for one nation: Israel.
and another that forces Tiktok’s parent company to sell it.
Capitalists never play fair, lol.
Can't wait to see some stupid western company take the place of tiktok then all the retards complaining about tiktok suddenly shutting up.
They don't realize there's a trade war going on and they're just useful idiots in it.
Yeah. Vietnam and afghanistan are identical to the war in Ukraine.
It's not like the US is on the other side of the world, or anything.
Nope. They're exactly the same.
Anything to avoid admitting Ukraine is going to lose and you've been taken for a ride 🤣
Looks like Ukrainians are cannon fodder for the West. Lol.
What are you talking about?
Capitalists love their subsidies. Just look at the semiconductor industry.
Because they are are fighting a better military.
That's weird, I was reading expecting to see some kind of simpson's quote or reference like they predicted 9/11. Instead, he mentions how "dozens of the writers of The Simpsons went to Harvard."
I think Simpsons is very interesting because so many people get the wrong things from it. A lot of people don't view Simpsons as satire (which it is); they view it as an excuse for their behavior. It's ok to be a lazy, ignorant, alcoholic because that's what Homer is. He still loves his family, right? And that makes it okay. (not)
I typed this out before reading further, and I'm glad he mentioned the Monorail episode because it's exactly what came to mind. However, that episode was clear satire. It doesn't make sense for the audience to think giving in to a conman is the correct thing to do, but that is what has happened to a lot of cities across the US.
It's weird because I think Simpsons has had the effect that he's talking about, it's just I'm torn on whether or not it was the real intention of the artists.
If it was, that's absolutely mind-boggling illuminati shit. I don't think it goes that deep, though.
Everything was fine until regular people got smartphones.
Blame everyone who nominated hillary over Bernie :(
I must be the only one in the thread who knew that by reading the title.
Why are we sending them equipment when they're going to lose?
