    It been interesting to see white people in Canada afraid of being colonized while vehemently downplaying the Indigenous people’s grievances as “why can’t they just accept the culture they’ve been given?” So close to self awareness but will never get there.

    Seriously, when Indigenous groups pushed back on Carney’s “elbows up” nation building projects, I saw so many comments from internet geniuses along the lines of “they’re trying to treat this like their inter-tribal relations where they demand soverignty and veto power on anything that goes on in their territory at any point in the process, unfortunately that’s not how Western investment and development work.” Yeah, it really is fucking unfortunate that we’re still denying them their culture and ways of doing things.

    You must be pretty uneducated to think that USA did not mess with Europe economy, politics, society etc etc.

    I mean for fuck sake, USA was both funding and directing terrorist attacks all over the Europe up until 1990s

    (Years of Lead, Operation Gladio…)

              Allies is when you shake hands but otherwise heavily sanction your “partners”

                You mean the sanctions he tried to block and veto? Those sanctions?

                Why did he do that, do you think? Try every tool he had to oppose sanctions against Russia and North Korea?

                  You mean the sanctions he tried to block and veto? Those sanctions?

                  No I mean the sanctions that are still in place when he’s the president and has a republican majority in Congress and Senate. He’s able to kidnap a foreign statesman, bomb foreign nations and impose and lift tariffs however he wants, yet the sanctions on his supposed allies are still there.

                  Try every tool he had to oppose sanctions against Russia and North Korea?

                  Therefore I doubt that he “tried every tool” to oppose sanctions for his supposed allies

                  Libs please pick up a book other than Harry Potter, 1984 and Mein Kampf

              Not a Trump supporter.

              Trump isn’t allied with Russia, just because he’s exiting Europe to focus more on Latin and South America doesn’t mean he’s an ally. Otherwise he’d lift sanctions, same with the DPRK. Nothing came of his meeting with Kim Jong-Un.

                But he blocked those sanctions at every turn, remember?

                He failed to even say a single critical word of either of those two leaders.

                If you’re not a Trump supporter why do you say all the same things they say?

                  No? If Trump supported Russia and the DPRK he would lift the sanctions.

                  I don’t say all the same things Trump supporters say. Can you give an example?

    It so terrible, America ruined everything. Before America everyone lived in peace and treated each other respectfully. No wars, no violence, just Western Europe chillin together trying to get to know the middle east on a more personal and religious level 🙄.

      I guess we shouldn’t be angry that we got our countries coup’d, bombed, invaded and sanction by the US, they’re poor smol beans, can’t be held accountable for genociding hundreds of millions

          i’m still convinced that .world was either a psyop or became a captured instance to ensure that as few defecting redditors join any of the pro-leftist instances as possible.

          it’s the only thing that explains why it was so heavily promoted on so many subreddits instead of lemmy.ml when it had nothing to offer at the beginning of the reddit protests and why there was a coordinated effort to defederat the leftist core instances throughout the lemmyverse.

          now piefed is getting that same treatment from reddit and they literally used the same pics as before, but edited out .world in favor of piefed

              i used to wonder if this made me a conspiracy theorist; but the whole tiktok situation combined w watching the cartel humiliate sheinbaum on social media as they retaliate for the us empire’s directed assassination of el mencho has convinced me that they’re not above using all social media platforms to maintain their grip on the narrative.

              and they’re really good at it too; they must have learned a lot from the tiktok/4chan/reddit man-o-spheres.

          says a .ml user

          (obviously not all .ml users are bad, many sign up without realizing that .ml has a bad reputation, but .ml is pro-tankie and the admins are tankies)

          you are correct, .world is too reddit-like
