Yeah that alone makes me doubt the authenticity of this statement

So many people are brainwashed around me, and I have lost all hope in the average human growing a sense of morality until the bombs are falling on their own heads.

Today I had to finally make the difficult choice to cut off several friends and family who refuse to see the truth here. Barbaric.

I can't fucking believe that there are people who were alive during Iraq, and STILL BELIEVE THE PROPAGANDA ABOUT THIS.

Glad to see EU4 enjoyers staying strong on the grad. Give it a week and we'll surpass eu5's player numbers.

Still the best paradox game 13 years running

I remember back in the day when I was on the genzedobg subreddit, this was my favourite bot copypasta on there. When are we getting those here on lemmygrad?

I think of Lenin and Stalin quite often, if that counts. Human beings who's stories keep me motivated and determined to be a better person.

Even then I don't think they'd do it. At most they'll do retaliatory strikes on that one airbase in Qatar, and on some military infrastructure in Israel at most. They have always opted for this option because it's less escalatory then directly attacking the US.

Practically 0. I don't think Iran is ever going to risk taking such action because they're trying to avoid any possible situation that paints them as acting illegally or aggressively. Striking a US vessel directly is pretty much guaranteeing a NATO invasion of their country.

I have unfortunately not met any Iranian person who isn't a bizarre monarchist and anti Islamic republic conspiracy theorist ( who believe that the west orchestrated the Ayatollah coming to power somehow).

It's as if the entire diaspora is brainwashed.

I've been without work for a few months now, and I have little to no money saved up. I'm pretty soon no longer going to be able to afford rent, and it's been made clear that I will not be able to access the healthcare required for my hearing loss. After a months long back and forth with the government bureaucracy and insurance providers, I'm shit out of luck for the time being.

I just want to know if anyone here has similar experiences, and what to expect.

 

Apologies for the awkward dimensions, this was how it was posted.

Transcript:

Mr President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century—maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave.

I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you!

What is going on right now in India/Pakistan? I'm seeing all sorts of very concerning news and I hope any Indian, Pakistani or Kashmiri comrades here could help explain.

 

I have seen no end of Muslims, almost exclusively Sunni, online and in real life, celebrating the fall of the Syrian Arab Republic. Even where I live, there are Syrians celebrating it. I don't know if it's just sectarianism, brainwashing, or ignorance, or some combination of it, but almost all of them I have seen are celebrating this.

Be it in comment sections, social media posts, cheering in the streets of European cities, etc. How have so many of these people consistently sided with Gaza from the start, but celebrate an Israeli backed terrorist takeover of Syria?

The reaction to stories from Al Jazeera revealing the reality in Palestine were unanimously celebrated by these same people as standing up for the truth, meanwhile, when the same Al Jazeera peddles anti-Syrian propaganda, they are happy to welcome it as equally good news.

I don't want to lose faith in the Muslims and Arabs of the world, but if they're so mixed up in sectarianism and willing to lap up the propaganda in support of a Jihadist regime, I can't see how we'll ever know peace or stability in the Middle east.

 

During an unrelated discussion about something or the other (sports or something), I brought up a list of Asian countries, and instinctively accidentally said "DPRK" instead of "North Korea" during an actual conversation irl with a liberal that I often talk to. And after a little bit he produced the quote in the title. Referencing Voltaire's "Not Roman, not holy nor an empire" quip.

In this context our liberal here was clearly taking a jab at the DPRK and how it supposedly doesn't live up to it's name.

At the time it annoyed me but I said nothing of it and laughed it off and got back on topic.

But thinking back I'm wondering if it could have been an opportunity to perhaps break some of the conditioning and maybe have him reflect on his preconceived notions. What would have been the best way to actually explain how the name is actually rather fitting, without risking triggering a liberal brain malfunction that defaults to spouting propaganda?

 

Was curious if there were any quotes that we'd like to share.

It's pretty hard to find anything from Stalin for example that isn't blatantly made up to demonize him.

 

A few days ago this suddenly popped up out of the blue, thoughts? I think more countries should tell the Dutch to go fuck themselves, if you ask me.
