    these people really think that every other country lives by america and israel's "take our word for it, we investigated ourselves and found there was no wrong doing" rules. they think iran was allowed to just lie about their nuclear program, not have third parties come in and verify they're not making bombs. they think china can just lie about how many people they have in prison. as if there aren't international third parties that verify these numbers and release them. they think cuba lies about giving people healthcare, completely unaware that the only reason we know cubans have healthcare is because the WHO does a ranking

    god i am so sick of liberals. they don't even live in reality. can you imagine that? literally just making shit up like that and then thinking you're saying something true or even representative of reality? absurd

      Time outside of America really helped me put into perspective just how sick and run down the country is. Time outside the anglosphere made me realize we've obviously lost the plot.

      I absolutely cannot and it's terrifying to be around them sometimes. Other times, just incredibly frustrating. Some guy will be telling you the most banal, ahistorical, flagrantly wrong bs and it's clear from their tone ad the reverance in their voice that they think this is the deep wisdom that they are sharing with you for your benefit and it's like no, no, you fucking dork, that was provably shown to be false 135 years ago and here's all the papers analyzing why anyone believed it in the first place *don't fuck with me i'm a materialist!"

      I may be experiencing some degree of unrelated rage.
