The world is ugly.
We(sterners) have been the aggressors/‘bad guys’ for too many decades. We’re still the main(~only) obstacle to ‘world peace’/‘an union of diversities’. ♪ All we are saaying… ♬(, are we even trying ? we could/should/must protect them&us)

  • Well, this support comes from ignorance/manipulation, i disagree. Furthermore, the so-called “brakes upon lybian civil liberties” should never be discussed without the attacks from the west that Lybia was suffering for decades before the invasion, they famously even renounced to nuclear weapons, but to no avail.
    It took 41 years for Muammar Gaddafi to retrieve Gamal Abdel Nasser, it’s a sad story. We sanctioned Lybia during the 90s under the guise of protecting the population, it makes no sense, please don’t claim that our population knows and support our actions, i’ve discussed with other people and they don’t know much about all this.
    I’ve watched our news and they can talk for weeks about a random murder, or will give a summary that misses things, and it’s not really their fault(, more of their capitalist owners who selected them), but i’m regretting this lack of diversity in our medias, we have in France a very narrow expression of opinions(, except on the Internet fortunately), and our citizens believe that it’s encompassing every possible&acceptable opinions, and that some of them are even extreme, that’s far from the case as this community exemplifies. Imagine a 24/7 anti-imperialist channel news, most of our citizens would be surprised by the existence of that point of view. And our lack of diversity goes beyond that i.m.o.

    Probably not worth making a post for this(, yet ?), so i’m dumping these pictures here :



    And as others have already said :




  • One problem is that they made laws of exceptions for terrorists while everyone clapped.
    Now they’re also speaking about domestic terrorists.
    That’s how it is, after all, the “land of the free” also have the highest incarceration rate in the world.

    Could be worse, could be better, but what can we do except complain online in our little echo chamber ? Hope, i guess, nothing useful per se, “people would rise up if they knew the truth” likes to remind us Caitlin Johnstone.
    Not to be unfair, most of us do try to bring the change they want to see at their level, but billionaires can do more, and working all your days to care about your family afterwards don’t leave much room for political activism.


  • I possibly misformulated the title, what i mean is that we’ll always hear from the atrocities of one side(, even if we have to invent them), it’s so stupid ! Just show our population Ukraine bombing civilians and we’ll be pro-russians, or for any other situation, is that their argument, to only show the exactions of the other side ? That’s the most lazy propaganda i could think of.
    We(sterners) claim to have arguments, but i’ve seen our reporting, it’s systematically “cinematic” images of exactions done by the same side, and almost no debate because it would be “justifying the unjustifiable”, or other accepted excuses to brainwash their population in the laziest way possible.
    We don’t only see that for international conflicts, but also sometimes for internal conflicts, when they only show on some pro-capitalist channels “cinematic” images of violence from the protesters without giving their point of view(, images of violence being enough for an argument, and violence should always be condemned, except when it’s done in Hong-Kong or other countries in order to liberate themselves, but not in Palestine, etc., you know, the rules-based order not inscribed anywhere).
    We’re just being lied to, continuously, and are so oblivious to our own conditionnement that we sincerely believe that the other side(, who kinda know our point of view at least,) is the one who is brainwashed and should be “liberated” in order to join the “free world”. We don’t know or care about the sanctions and our covert actions, nor do we think that the other side is worth having a voice, that’s our world and i hope it’ll change soon because i’m ashamed of it, it’s not even hard to see beyond the appearances(, perhaps thanks to Internet, so that will change).

    I don’t entirely agree with my comment either, because there’s multiple interpretation of Hell.
    One of them is interesting, it says that if our consciousness survives after our death, our mind will finally think clearly, we’ll remember our past better than if it happened today, and we’ll be overwhelmed by shame, this hell would be created by ourselves.
    Another one would talk about a real place, but not in the afterlife but right here, on Earth(, it combines perfectly with this talk of afterlife if you believe in reincarnation), and says that if we all live our lives ‘searching for’/‘aiming at’ God, then our descendants/reincarnations will live in Paradise(, or in Hell if we don’t).
    There’re other interpretations, as well as the thought that we’re not free since we’re determined, so God decided before our birth whether we would end up in Hell or in Paradise, a thought discussed in the Middle-Ages and rejected in favor of free-will(, i don’t think Spinoza would disagree with the conclusion that God predestined us for Hell, if he believed in Hell).
    Obviously, the most common explanation is that police(wo)men didn’t existed back then, God-fearing people was the equivalent of virtuous people, even when nobody can see/stop them.

    They merely said that being separated from God means suffering, while following H…er.im means walking towards the establishment of H…er.is Kingdom/City unto Earth. They talked more about Hell as a state than as a physical place, but, well… who cares nowadays, right ? Parabola never taught us anything about the real world, the spirit doesn’t exist, and morals are relative, they were simply naive ignorants who never had anything to teach us, embrace modernity and reject 100% of the past.
