This mainly true in the Middle East because people there are born and raised into believing that their ethnicity and religion are superior to everyone else’s and that it is a shameful embarrassment to make ANY concessions whatsoever with people deemed to be inferior.
I lived there, I’ve seen this shit first hand.
To be honest, all of this applies to the US.
I thought they were describing the US. Had to re-read the first bit.
It doesn’t have to be this way. My grandparents and extended family were war refugees and on the receiving side of bombings. Fortunately they and their children made it, but they lost everything else – their homes, belongings, friends, neighbors, possibly relatives. Took them maybe 25 years of group effort to emigrate, resettle, and generally rebuild to a modest life. To my best knowledge they have never bombed anyone or participated in other violence.
So yeah, be like them. Get the fuck out of danger, take care of each other, and don’t perpetuate the cycle.
Here’s the trick: You just tweet:”CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!” And everyone is happy again
And “PLEASE DON’T RAISE OIL PRICES” even though that’s a perfectly rational response.
I have it on good authority that they don’t know what the fuck they are doing.
Bullies don’t think that way.
