Ive always had trouble sleeping, too active an imagination I suppose. So for me the trick was drugs, they work a treat… Maybe too much of a treat.

Most of Hollywood is yank wank, you kinda get used to it. Tbh Hollywood is way too ignorant to portray anything outside the states accurately.

Any flag that cucks itself by having the union jack on it. Looking at you Oz/NZ… It’s time to move on.

Oh boy did they hahah, got dragged in the replies too dammit. Ahh oh well, such is the internet.

I thought the meme implies an inverse and was deeper than just west bashing. Mb.

In the same way it does Ukraine

It reduces the horrors of conflict down to binary of ‘my team good, your team bad’ which I get us the point but it’s unfair (imo) to equate the actions of oppressed/attacked states to the massively powerful imperial states. Maybe my interpretation is fucked up but my first glance at this meme triggered my bleeding heart.

Fuck you for trash talking Ukraine and Palestine. It’s shitty to use the mass suffering of millions for internet points.

Also, elite rage bait, I’ve got the grimble grumbles now.

Oh hey, found the liberal! Would you like a reading list?

Few things are more important than Exploration. In all avenues exploration leads to discovery which leads to growth. What else should we be working on? Cos atm the western world (which I inhabit) focuses most human effort on making ‘line go up’ and it feels entirely wasted and pointless.

Pearl clutching as a Zionist? You’d be cooler as a tankie tbh… Would you like a reading list?

Arguably, all parties within a liberal democracy are liberal in ideology. Republicans are just the right wing of that liberal system, Dems are to the left of the repubs but both still liberal. In Australia the leading conservative party is quite literally called The Liberal Party.

Stop avoiding your homework OP, read the damn theory!

That’s a future worth living for

Thank you for such a detailed response! It is quite a bit to take in, I guess I had hoped that Iran was much better and that the media had exaggerated what was going on. I’m sorry to hear that you were at the protests and witnessed your comrades be murdered. That would definitely fuck me up a bit.

From what I have read Iran doesn’t seem like a very good place to be these days. A lot of violence is shown, especially against women and girls. Religious extremism also looks quite scary to me. My question is how do you feel about your country and how is it different from the way it’s being represented in the media? (Assuming you track western news I guess).

Thank you for taking questions, I hope you and your family are safe and cared for.

I’m sure plenty others have said so already but you can block the instance if you find its content not to your tastes. It’s the beauty of Lemmy after all.
