when Liberals are talking about geopolitical conflict and use the word "BULLIES" I want to gouge my eyes out
I hear the angle, slightly more persuasively put but still the same as “bullies”, that “it’s all about the humans, I am against human suffering” which is false because it assumes the west are not actors with agency.
Too many soft leftists who believe that our society is simply responding to events rather than driving them, which is why “I am against humans suffering” is the more nuanced form of “BULLIES” that appeals to soft leftists.
Nation states with entrenched material interests act the same way as a 10-year-old who isn't getting enough attention
imagining using this to sarcastically reply to a twitter lib... and them just nodding in agreement assuming it's sincere
Because they're the sort of people who, if they were school administrators, would put up a bunch of "no bullying" posters and declare the problem solved. They want the same thing for geopolitics, where they can just "inform" Putin that he's being a meanie head bully and he'll just stop.
It's because Libs are nerds who rightfully deserve a swirly.
