KermitLeFrog,

The lack of imperial Japan in this image is disturbing

KermitLeFrog,

Yeah totally. But if you dare even insinuate that Japan was anything other than a victim of WW2, the public outcry is so massive that you will be forced to publicly apologize and denounce your previous statement

KermitLeFrog,

I worked as a cameraman in college for about a year and a half. Your producer can see every angle from every camera simultaneously. So depending on the producer, you’d either get chewed out or get big laughs for doing this. But people still did it all the time regardless

KermitLeFrog,

Tl;Dr of history of israel-palestine conflict:

Britain colonizes Palestine and makes it Israel

Israel recognizes this as kinda bullshit and willingly offers basically half the land to existing Palestinians and also offers full citizenship to any Palestinian who wishes to remain in what is now Israel.

Palestine refuses the deal, declares war on Israel

Israel kicks their ass, again offers a deal with less land

Palestine again says no, basically a cold war begins

Other Arab countries refuse to allow Palestinians to move there, also declare war on Israel and get their asses kicked

Terrorists begin attacking Israel from Palestine, especially from the West Bank

Those terrorists are elected to run Palestine in a free and fair election

Israel begins committing human rights violations against Palestinians

We’ve now been at this last stage for at least two decades, possibly longer but I can’t be bothered to fact check myself on the exact dates right now. And yes, this is absolutely as short as the TL;DR on this situation can get, I’m 100000% sure both sides will get upset about details I left out even in this longer story.

KermitLeFrog,

The only reason anyone cares is because of post WW2 guilt and oil interests. There are other places on earth in nearly the exact same situation (two unsupportable regimes both claiming sovereignty over the same region and committing war crimes against each other) and no one cares about them, let alone even knowing what places I’m talking about, simply because there’s no oil involved. The answer is fundamentally the same as when you’re walking down the street and see two drunk guys hitting each other. You ignore them and keep walking. Some people just want to do bad things and there’s not really anything you can do to stop them. By getting involved you inherently are forced to choose sides and now are supporting someone who doesn’t deserve to be supported.

KermitLeFrog,

That’s basically agnosticism. And it’s pretty common among intellectuals, historically speaking at least

KermitLeFrog,

Yes but I follow rules 1 & 2 so the fact that I don’t know how to start conversations with people doesn’t matter, I get so many matches that eventually someone will put up with my bs and I can get laid
