    It’s no problem.

    What really gets on my nerves, and infuriates me insanely is how some people act like the west is a beacon of morality, and then try to act like immigration is “importing the third world” - my brother in christ, why do you think we have to immigrate to your country? who enslaved, colonized, setup autocratic dictatorships a century ago, for your own benefit? And you think you have the right to complain??? (this isn’t directed at you, by the way. I’m glad you are more open minded than others.)

    It also kind of, and many of you may disagree with this; pisses me off that 50501 and all those types of protests never focus on foreign policy, but only things that affect them.

    This may be a sweeping generalization:

    after all my years, i’ve learned many people don’t mind, or even support fascism: it’s that the moment they are inconvenienced by it, by hitting their home turf all of a sudden they are anti fascist. Same story with WW2.

    Slavery and colonialism never ended. They’ve just decided to keep it out their own countries, for their people to not see.

    I’m very, very glad and happy that you are not like those who defend them all they can, and act like the west is this moral place. You are very open minded, we need more people like you.

      I’ve said for years that the trouble in the Middle East was eventually going to come here, and here we are (and it’s just getting started). There are just certain immutable laws that are above man-made laws: One is that destruction always follows after pride, another is that we all reap what we sow. (Canadian here)
