Can we start being honest here? The reason why many Westerners believe the world was peaceful the last 60 years is because they don’t see nonwhite people as human, so atrocities against them don’t really count

It’s the driving mechanism behind White Supremacy

@stacycay

1950-2022 was the most peaceful time in world history. This was also the period of time when America decided to stop sitting on the sidelines as the world burned.

In 2025, we are officially encouraging the people who burn the world to continue. The world is going to war again.

Why do people always have to drag skin colour into shit for no fucking reason?

I'm sure the "non-white" people of Kosovo, Yugoslavia, Ireland, Ukraine, Armenia etc. will agree with how peaceful that period was.

SocialistMMA probs be like, "What are those?"

I mean honestly the top three most populace nations (China, India, US) haven't been in a large scale war in at least 50 years. Europe also hasn't had anything major either. That's not to say there has been conflict and death, but just looking at the numbers thats a huge amount of people that haven't ever needed to know war. Maybe other times in history have been more peaceful, but a couple of counter points don't really make a convincing case.

Because many of these people have become so entangled in their quest to become victims in any way, shape, or form - that they've become the very thing they hate, and can't see the irony in it.

Brains are pretty funny. Advantageous by nature; never recognising that none of them got to decide the future corpse they'd be sitting atop of at the start.

Whatever they can use to get a social edge on other brains, even if that means bringing up paint colour, trim, and cupholder count of each other's assigned future corpses.

I've learned to like mine and that others hate it, but that's not very important to my happinessn or their's. We have more important things to think about and focus on than each other's corpses. So, it's such a weird thing to bring up and expect to be heard, lol. "Non-whites". How about "people in general"?
