You described literally every major empire that ever existed

based on the context (:gladbron:) she seems to be discussing "the west" as not a geographical concept, it's more so a perspective/culture/socio-political concept. there are places like australia that are in the east that some people consider western for example. its probably a bit of "the west" in every continent and like you described, every culture.

tldr: oppression is not on you, its in you.

The fact that people is this thread are responding defensively or as if they were personally attacked is bizarre. Did we not learn anything from the "love it or leave it" rhetoric of the 20th century in response to advocating for civil rights? Are these actually black people posting?

reminds me of the "We should improve society somewhat" comic

You soon realize that social media aint the place for meaningful thoughts or dialogue. Its for fukkery. And phat asses.

While i learned this long ago, the vitriol she is probably receiving comes from low intelligent ppl. Heartless and stupid buffoons.

I feel you but we are apart of this system, whether we want to believe it or not. She can simply leave and prove that she believes what she is saying but preaching on social media is easier. If she wasn’t in “the west” saying that could get her imprisoned or killed elsewhere.
Being a part of a system has never meant you couldn't speak out against it. You told her she could leave.

That's exactly what the MAGATs said when folks said black lives matter.

Check yourself.

This shyt was written by an angsty college freshman who read a Franz Fanon quote or watched a three minute Noam Chomsky video.

If I was in a relationship with a grown woman who was this unsophisticated I would leave immediately.

Grown azz woman can’t see that fact is embarrassing.

You have all these people that grew up in totalitarian countries and faced oppression trying to migrate to western countries or be apart of western organizations ( NATO/European Union ). Objectively speaking it’s ok to criticize western society, but to act like it’s not better than the alternatives is childish

Try to hold any society to their own standards and they all fall short. :yeshrug:

Unless you're in China or North Korea or Uzbekistan or Eritrea or...
Even with the costliest of consequences, people have spoken out. That is what has ultimately driven change in regimes and systems.

Articulated what I have felt for a while studying the cycles of civilizations:wow:The west is destined to destroy itself as it nearly did in the 20th century. The Christian moral underpinning was always a convenient political tool, a way of organizing society but deep down these people do not really care for morality, which is why they can pick and choose who gets compassion. To the western elite Israel is just another chess piece in the geopolitical game and if Palestinians or any other groups have to suffer, it is what it is.
I live in a "red" county in FL. I work with these animals. They claim to be conservative but have premarital sex, get drunk, get high, are wild vulgar, but claim to be christians.
