  • All your examples are either false or interventions to prevent genocide.
    Most if not all European countries have stopped selling weapons to Israel. Israel is no longer seen in Europe in general as a country it can be morally defended to support.
    And how the fuck can you blame Europe when Arab countries continue to support Israel and USA?
    Europe has near zero support for Israel, compared to UAE and Saudi Arabia that continue to support USA and Israel.

    Again Europe is actually trying to stand on the side of international law, and none of the examples you use show otherwise.
    You are being dishonest and you are propagandizing against the interest of truth.




  • Very nice explanation. One minor detail though:

    Endeavour doesn’t market itself as stable

    Endeavour OS is per normal Linux developer definition unstable.
    But that doesn’t mean what some people think it means. It only means it’s not feature freezed because it’s a rolling distro.
    It doesn’t mean that it has more bugs, it can in theory have fewer bugs, because bug fixes are part of newer versions, and because it runs on newer versions of software.

    What it means is that some features may change, and that can cause problems in a production environment. So often professionals prefer stable especially to avoid changes that may cause breakage of their routines, because features are frozen and do not change, which guarantees that production is not affected by changes that were not prepared for.

    Many people believe stable means more reliable and fewer bugs, but that is not always the case. In my experience Arch derivatives are often more “reliable” and have fewer bugs than a “stable” OS like Ubuntu.

    I haven’t tried Endeavour, but I used the older Antergos that Endeavour replaces, and Antergos was amazing IMO.

    One thing in particular that makes a rolling release sometimes more reliable, is that it has newer drivers, and newer drivers often have bug fixes.
    Especially for games newer graphics drivers are less likely to lack features a game may need.


  • That’s just wrong, Libya was in a civil war as I described, and Europe tried to go in to stabilize the situation. Inability to solve the problem of another country has nothing to do with colonialism or not respecting the sovereignty of that country. It was a humanitarian crisis that Europe tried to end.

    This is not ignorance on my part, I even mentioned this situation, it is a complete abuse of a crisis to make a part that tried to help look bad.
    Shame on you. 😡





  • There is no proof that suggests that communism was unpopular in east.

    There absolutely is a ton of evidence, the fact that Russia had to move in several time to protect the Communist regimes should be enough. But also the wide spread use of secret police, to keep the population politically controlled, the absolute oppression of anything politically different from Communism.
    And the extreme rebirth of Christianity that was also oppressed by communism is also a very strong indicator of how unpopular Communism was.
    The way Communism was removed in ALL eastern European countries and in the Soviet states too is an extremely clear indicator.

    Most of those “rebels” were communist themselves

    Obviously they were when that was the only option, but as soon as an alternative was made available they became former communists.

    also it wasnt russia but soviet union

    Russia was the main power in Soviet Union, just like Russia is the main power in the Russian Federation. The other regions don’t really have much say.

    It wasnt occupation but an ideological alliance based on socialism,

    No it was not, In Eastern Europe it was a military occupation by the Soviet Union of German held territories, where the Soviet Union instated communist governments, and the countries became vassal states to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet union interfered if the people of any of the countries tried to change that.

    IDK how anyone can be so blinded by Russian propaganda, and yes I do mean Russian, because the Soviet Union was a Russian controlled empire, just like the Russian federation is today. You don’t even have facts straight that are extremely easy to check up on, you are either a victim of Russian propaganda, or a propagandist yourself.
    What you are claiming is outright delusional.



  • Here antisemitism is mostly driven by the Semites themselves, as Arabs are also Semites, and antisemitism is very much driven by Arab Muslims.
    Except it’s of course not actually antisemitism, but being anti Jewish and especially anti Israel.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people

    Semitic people or Semites is an obsolete term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group.

    used in connection with ancient and modern peoples of the Middle East
    including Akkadians (Assyrians and Babylonians), Arabs, Ammonites, Arameans, Canaanites, Edomites, Habesha peoples, Israelites, Jews, Judahites, Moabites, Phoenicians, Samaritans,

    So using antisemitism as if it means anti Jewish is moronic to say the least.
    Jews is only one among many nationalities that Semites cover.



  • And Iraq was the aggressor in the 80s not 2003.

    Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. But you point is true.

    Hell the Iraq invasion would’ve made a better example as that had nothing to do with the UN.

    I agree, I was extremely mad at my government for falling for the American lies and joining USA in that.

    But the countries in Europe for the most part have taken a stance to support Israel (examples being UK, FRANCE, and Germany) while also leading a military operation on a sovereign country.

    This is sadly true, and the times I’ve heard that Israel is a democracy, as if that is an excuse. Why would a democracy have more rights to invade other countries? I am all for democracy, and I believe democracy is by far the best system of governance we have. But that doesn’t mean we have a right to break international law, or help other countries when they do so.

    There are many other examples and more the further back in time you’re willing to go.

    That is consistent with my point that Europe has generally improved to respect the rights of other countries more. Israel is a sore spot in that regard, other examples since WW2 were typically driven by USA, like instating the Shah in Iran and destroy their democracy. There is no reasonable basis for the way the west has treated Iran after they rebelled against the Shah. Except the insane immorality of having an official government death warrant on Salman Rushdie. But that has never been an argument against any of the sanctions or threats against Iran.


  • The British were extremely brutal in India, and I can understand that India doesn’t feel comfortable cooperating with UK, especially on for instance defense.
    But UK is not in EU anymore, and still India seems to have that anti European sentiment, as if it was Europe and not UK that were the colonists.
    Anyways I just find it sad that India prefer to cooperate with Russia, A country that today is clearly worse than Europe and China.
    Not siding with USA however, has turned out to be a very good choice. USA has turned to absolute shit, and is extremely unreliable.


  • It was very clearly an occupation, and as soon as the Soviet Union showed weakness, all eastern European countries left the Warsaw pact, and almost all sought membership of EU.
    Russia had military intervention in several European countries when their people rebelled against the communist party in their country. But when the Soviet Union was collapsing itself, all the European countries seized the opportunity, and got rid of the communist regimes.

    So not realizing that it was an occupation is denial of the truth.
