Why not both?

History is full of groups that were called terrorists before they were called governments. Whoever decides what is an act of war and what is an act of terrorism decides the rules of the game

What is naive about it? The only way to lasting peace is through talks. No amount of violence establishes lasting peace.

There is no clear thing that our “oppressor” wants us to think. Pacifism being naive is the kind of thought the weapons industry wants you to have.

True, violence only leads to more violence. I don’t believe it’s ever the solution.

However, Trump is making me question this.

Same goes for killing Khamenei, there’s always someone next in line. It doesn’t mean killing world leaders has no effect…

Don’t you realize how big it would be if Iran manages to kill Trump? It would mean the US President is not untouchable. No foreign actor has yet killed a US president.

Leave it to the Dutch to standardise your food until everything is mediocre

The room was empty when I got here, so everyone behind me should have read the room

Yes you’re absolutely right, anyone of any gender should be able to wear or not wear what they want.

My point was more philosophical. It is indeed random and pointless, but I find it interesting to think of things like this. You may not find this interesting or read something misogynist into this, which was definitely far from what I meant so I’m sorry for offending you.

I hope your time will come too, it’s crazy how overshadowed this topic is

Speaking of what Americans “forget”, I find it disturbing that this comment section seems to agree when it comes down to racism and white washing, but not a word is spoken about Native Americans.

Just imagine how devastating it is to see groups of immigrants fighting among eachother about equal rights. And your group, the only actual non-immigrants, get completely ignored. Not a word is spoken about them. Even by those supporting equal rights.

Not that it is true that they are just tiny boxes… But even if it were true. That’s the difference between China and the US isn’t it?

One provides at least a “box” for everyone.

One provides a big home with a yard with a white picket fence around it for some, but leaves others living in the streets.

Do you really prefer the last one? So many people in the US would be happy with a box at this point.

Something about some new scientific discovery or new technology that will ruin everything but then doesn’t

That there is no solution to climate change under capitalism
