“It’s not safe to sail into an active genocide.”

You didn’t read the link.

I would guess these are the ones that still see themselves as God’s chosen people, superior to all others.

That level of nationalism could make neo-Nazis blush. The Abrahamic religion(s) rejected the much older Semitic traditions, but only after plagerising them, right down to the “Genesis” being Enuma Elish—boy, they hated the Babylonians, but they hated everyone, really. So then they whacked it under monotheism, where the one god conveniently chooses the Abrahamic people as the superior ones over the other Semites—what a fucking coincidence! 😲

It’s kinda like Nordicisim but instead of it being about some pseudo “Aryan race” or superiority though “social Darwinism”, it’s tribalism—12 to be exact. It evolved into superiority of ethnicity by divinie will, backed by ancient texts riddled with acts of genocide and regional conquest, excused as righteous divinity, despite no real obvious purposes behind them besides control.

So while they’re chanting “Death to Arabs” here and rolling out yet another round of localised ethnic cleansing there, they’re somehow avoiding the irony of being the most “antisemitic” of Semites, the Arabs being the largest group within, no less.

Its a level of nationalistic ideology you can’t stop overnight, lol. That shit runs deep on so many levels.

In their defence, there is no defined point. There are people out there that are so anti-assumption that it can take them a while. They will eventually reach a point like, “Well if there were defined conditions, surely they have been met by now.” Basically it must be so full-scale that there can be no room left for doubt.

Unfortunately, such input is typically too little too late; it’s just agreeing with the obvious because it’s already so obvious.

DV isn’t gender-specific (loosely 25% male victims, 75% female, but obviously that’s up and down on country)

Femicide is gender-specific with an estimated 0% male victims.

There is growing speculation that Russia might be willing to halt its invasion along current front lines in return for significant concessions.

Well, obviously. If the US isn’t already in cahoots with Russia and are just that dumb, there’s a good chance they’ll continue being dumb by throwing them a much needed line.

Well I’m clearly not capable of your levels of communication and unfortunately haven’t been for some time.

I foolishly thought of people’s real world experiences to explain a reality, when all you wanted was validation of your claim by—I dunno—an ATM receipt, or something… As I said, I am struggling to communicate on this level. I am so daft, you see.

Have a W-shaped cookie. You got me!

Yes, I’m not sure why you think that wasn’t clear. Fills me with doubt that you grasped much else of my comment. Oh, well.

Assumptions will rarely end up in your favour.

You perhaps didn’t read they were teen backpackers? Of all the travellers in the world, find me a majority in the financial position to book all their accommodation with the confidence that no matter what, it’s going to be great because that’s the assurance of such a travel style and the price tag it comes with.

It’s not like you’re going to find the best deals online in a place with a hundred places to stay. Or maybe you can and that’s the irony of your assumption.

Apart from work trips, I can’t think of the last time I had accommodation all booked. I don’t really see the point of travelling if you don’t make plans after being there a while and getting to know good info from locals. A lot of the time locations or weather just sucks, so I keep on and adventure somewhere else instead. That’s kind of normal outside of resort holidaying.

lol, and here’s me thinking I’ll get to finally loosen these bootstraps one day. Wouldn’t be Millennial difficulty if something nice happened for once, so why should I expect reprieve in retirement age? Probably just be anxious af anyway because not being abused by another generation seems too good to be true.

We’re slowly getting there. Unfortunately our ship is a large one to turn, but if you think about it, we’re quite quick lately. The combustion age seems like it’ll be over in about ql1/20th the time of the Bronze Age. But, yes, aware the Bronze Age didn’t actively destroy our liveable environment.

Russia back handing itself over who can show strength.

“Because we suck at it.” is the clear invisible next line.

China joins other countries in acknowledging the China Sea is wet.

Ask yo momma

Bold to live life thinking people are more stupid than you. I admire your confidence.

Oh, I’ve been bested again! Fool me thrice…

Ah, “ah” is a word and not an interjecting expression. Bested again! You’re on fire.
