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.

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.
