Maybe if we quit blowing them up every chance we get they wouldn't hate us as much. Think how much aid we could provide for the same amount of money we're spending to bomb them.

~~Western~~ Imperialism
MAGA is cool with Eastern Imperialism... but not SOUTH Eastern Imperialism. Only Imperialism with ties to Epstein.
Otherwise it's a "sparkling invasion".
Everything's to the west if you go far enough.
Considering Trump made the decision, it's probably more like: ~~uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~
I mean Trump supporters hate the American way of life too:
- They hate freedom of religion (everyone must be ACE Christian of a very specific kind).
- They hate freedom of speech (you aren't allowed to be critical of Trump or the country or aspects of history).
- They hate that women can vote (constantly hear them call for the removal of women's suffrage because they vote Democrats). In fact they hate women in general.
- They hate minorites, especially when they're doing well.
- They hate freedom of the press (book bans, calls to censor journalists and writers).
- They hate electronic freedom (constant calls to censor websites and communications).
To them, the American way of life should be akin to the Iranian way of life, except instead of a form of ultra conservative Shia Islam and a personality cult around the Ayatollah, it's a form of Ultra Conservative Evangelical American Christianity, a form of absolute pseudo-monarchy based around Trump and his family, nationalism wherein the founding fathers are Demi Gods, and a landscape where one very specific form of white American culture is the only culture allowed.
Hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. That's how they show they're above you.
I miss four lokos with caffeine.
Throw a caffeine pill in one next time. You'll remember why they stopped adding it in.
Would still hit way different since back then they were at MOST, 6% ABV. Now they are up to 20%. Shit don't even taste good anymore. It's like drinking gasoline with a hint of strawberrry in it.
I remember that you have about six of them than wake up with handcuffs on.
Madlad you got six of those down? My best was remembering opening a third can. Only the opening.
Yeah the first couple helped the shakes and the next couple is where the fun starts.
People will always be judged by the actions of thier government. Just listen to how everyone talks to each other online. No matter what you preach, you'll always be "the west" or "the east".
The real issue is ******** but you can't talk about that
The word is tribalism
Cultural tribalism, corporate tribalism, political tribalism - everyone has their flavour
American leadership - they hate our freedom Americans - wonder if I can afford food this month
Also, what western imperialism? Its literally only USA acting like this.
"I learned it from you, Dad!!!" - US to UK
Most "western" countries have been acting like this in the past century and are still to this moment reaping the benefits from colonial and imperialist plunder of the global south. It's not just the USA, even though it is the most damaging.
Where were the polish and Lithuanian colonies?
Poland, Lithuania and a few others became "the west" very recently, and didn't get in on colonialism directly; hence "most" in my claim.
Fair.
Lol western countries are the ones who supported putting extreme islamists in power in the first place, creating a hotspot for terrorists and making life worse for the normal folks living in those regions.
Oh I'm absolutely aware. The irony would be palatable, if it were not done 100% by design in order to to do just that. 😢
Which country(s) are you talking about? In n the case of Iran, the western meddling installed the Shah who was a secular force, overthrown by the extreme Islamists.
Those Cheesy Gordita Crunches™ hit the spot though.
Wash it down with a refreshing Mountain Dew Baja Blast™!
How much you bet that the moment they get a pro-American Islamist regime, suddenly no one will have problem with Islamism.
Already going on in Dubai, doesn't even register with the brood of MAGAts
LETS STORM THE APPLEBEES!
Isn't it to deflect from the Epstein files this time?
All Americans wanna police the world
