Yeah, when it comes to Israel / Iran, I don’t have much to say. I’m willing to say that the USA fucked it up so much that morals are out the window.
I don’t know if religious differences would have led us here eventually, regardless, but I honestly don’t think so.
Sanctions are meant to prevent a current action. Reparations are meant to pay for past atrocities.
If you were asking the USA, Germany, France, etc. to pay reparations, I’d see your point. But currently Russia is killing Ukrainians because they want more land. Sanctions are, sadly, one of the best ways to prevent more innocent deaths.
Oh, absolutely. The USA’s war(s) in Afghanistan and their role in the middle east are abhorant and unforgivable. Just like their roles in destabilizing South America, etc.
And Russia should also be sanctioned, banned, etc. for attacking Ukraine. Just like they should’ve for Crimea.
That’s an interesting point, and human rights are certainly into question, but I’d ask when the last time Germany, France, USA, etc, declared war and invaded a sovereign nation.
Oh, I got this. The “enemy” is the one who invaded the sovereign nation of Ukraine without provocation. Good job finding an entirely new topic to talk about. Distract. Good tactic.
You’re… Aware that Russia invaded Ukraine, right? And all of this bloodshed, all of these senselessly sacrificed lives, could’ve been avoided if Russia just DIDN’T invade Ukraine?
Well, the post you wanted to comment this on would somehow be a worse place to say that.
I’m convinced that “Oh good, I’ve heard that a varied diet is the key to health” is just the best comment for any post ever. It will either be relevant or hilarious.
My ex would probably have a few things to say about that, amiright! (kill me).
They always talk about existential horror, but never inistential horror. Curious
If you do this, you’re going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.
I take issue with the word “immigrant” as it implies compliance, but okay.
No, that was not my intent, but I see your point. I think this is really all I meant to say:
Most former colonies of Britain can feel the influence of its culture a lot more than Britain feels the influence of any of its colonies’ cultures.
So when Britain says “we totally invented how to put butter and spices in a tomatoe base and add some chicken”. And tries to claim one of the last few things they haven’t from this subcontinent? I get kinda angry.
But, more to my point: let’s say I walk into an English pub, and ask what they’ve got on the menu. How many times do you think they’ll tell me about the unseasoned fried fish, or the unseasoned fried potatoes, before they mention “oh and we’ve got chicken tikka masala”
Not exactly a national dish, in my opinion.
“British chefs with South Asian heritage” lmao. That’s one way of putting it.
Yes. I agree. It is VERY British.
Would you like to go more into the origin of the phrase “British-Indian”?
I’m not disagreeing there. But were those British chefs who came up with it? And not chefs they brought back from places which Brits had conquered? Obviously no.
And, needless to say, tikka masala is about as far from modern English cuisine as you can get.
Lmao I guess when you’ve subjugated half the world, you can claim any dish as your own.
Holy shit. I never thought I’d live to see the effective prevention of side fumbling. We truly live in a world,
Thank you for proving this wrong.
But please let me live in this world where a dongfish has a horngus for just a little while longer.
My disappointment is immeasurable… and my day is ruined.
Yep. “Us” v “them”. I wish it could be better.
