I think some of them imagine themselves to be the protagonist of the world and will be elevated to the dictator's best friend at some point. I'm basing this off having talked to an Iranian monarchist.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves!" vibes right there.

I agree, but I'd take it a step further and say the ultra rich are even worse than parasites. Parasites serve a purpose to the stability of their ecosystems. Billionaires just consume.

America has democracy??

I mean, misinformation has been a problem for as long as humans have existed. The overabundance of information and misinformation is new, but not their existence.

What? When has MatPat EVER put his craft ahead of fame and money? I haven't watched in forever, but I recall him churning out content almost as if he were an LLM.

maybe MGTOW has a valid point or three to consider.

No. Just no. Don't even consider it. Broken clock being right twice a day.

I went down that pipeline simply because on the surface it presents itself as something to help men gain independence from relationships, but the hate and vitriol there and the rest of the manosphere is more misandrist and misogynist than anything this random woman can ever do.

I find it interesting that even then they slip up. Not Christian but ex Muslim, and even if I had stuck to learning only what Iranians mullahs and the nationalized education system wanted me to learn, I would still think Wtf is this BS?! And just that did happen.

Religious nut jobs and authoritarians have their sense of morality so twisted they see some of the fucked up parts of their beliefs as normal for others as well.

Well, if they were capable of empathy they probably wouldn't be in that position.

Well, if history is indeed cyclical, then in a 100 years Palestinians will have their own ethnostate and oppressing a different peoples. My guess is Kurds. /s

At the very least they should be TRYING to limit civilian deaths. They're clearly not doing that much, as is evident by their invasion of the west bank as well where Hamas ISN'T.

"Think tank" as in circlejerk.

"Communists" who think USSR and CCP are good. They often deny their war crimes, then when you prove them they attempt to justify them. Basically red fascists.
