Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Arcaire  
Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon when I said that, but thanks. If only the lesson could stick this time.

Slut shaming to own the conservatives
 

@Commune  
Dude, spoiler that. That’S NSFW territory and I’m in public.

They’re holding back research grant money at my university till they know how this damnable tax plan will pan out.
 
This is quite troubling.

So there has been anti-U.S. protests happening in the Middle East, so far it has turned deadly.

@LR-Studios  
Has or has not?

@HeadlessHorselessHorseman  
Has

@LR-Studios  
What happened and where? I haven’t heard anything about violence so far, although I think Hamas launched a few rockets.

@HeadlessHorselessHorseman
 
Ever since Trump announced the US recognizing Jerusalem as the Israeli capital people have been rioting.
 
Well, all the news outlets call it “Protests”. But there’s been burning, vandalism, hospitalizations, etc.

@Dustcan  
Huh. Is there one particular area where most of them have taken place?

@HeadlessHorselessHorseman
 
Turkey, Pakistan, Syria…
 
It might be easier to name a Middle East country that isn’t rioting “Protesting”.

@Dustcan  
That’s because Trump doesn’t any better he wants to start a war.

tbh they can all fuck off into the sea, bunch of moronic troglodytes still killing others and themselves over shit that doesn’t matter while the rest of the world has to give a shit. You gotta get to a point where you stop preventing an idiot from walking into a traffic for the 100th time and just let it happen.

@HeadlessHorselessHorseman  
Mostly in Israel and Palestine; and there are some, though less violent and more protesting, in Turkey, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

@The Smiling Pony  

Can we please not go down that road? Honestly I don’t think any of us have the moral high ground in the history of “stuff we consider important enough to fight for”. I mean, I get that it may not matter to you, or to a lot of people, but there are plenty for whom it does quite a bit and it’s not really our place to tell people what they can and can’t care about. Especially when you’re dealing with matters that have two thousand years plus of history, faith, and politics interwoven into them.

@The Smiling Pony  
While the issue of whether or not Jerusalem belongs to Israel or Palestine is a triviality with respect to our perspective, to the Israelis and the Palestines, it is of massive importance, an importance pertaining to which of them has ownership over Jerusalem because, detaching from objectivity and delving into subjectivity (so keep in mind what follows isn’t literal, but a constructed perspective for the sake of argument), owning land is a measure of power, while we consider owning money to be such due to our paying less attention to the concept of an empire and our paying more attention to the concept of capitalism to waste more to produce more, so respecting candour about truths, perspectives, and paradigms, to invert a saying of Protogoras and others alike,
 
Man is not the measure of all things.

@Fluttershy Studios  
Palestine. Iran, Iraq, and Jordan might get real bitchy if Pakistan tried to claim Jerusalem.

[Retracted]

@Fluttershy Studios  
He was actually pointing out that Your mixing up Palestine the country that is in conflict with the Israelis over who owns Jerusalem with Pakistan who aren’t directly involved,

@Thanotos Omega  
Oh. Well, I didn’t even notice that.

Nah, this shit is as dumb as stabbing someone because they said their waifu is Rainbow Dash when clearly the ultimate waifu is Applejack.
 
It’s a deviance from my usual tone, but that entire part of the planet, just, fuck it. Let them battle royal it out, stop getting involved, stop caring. They’re not going to change, ever, and every single damn intervention or meddling or attempt to help has just lead to things getting worse for absolutely everyone, involved or no.

Personally I say fuck Israel but that’s just me. They’ve mistreated the Palestinians very badly.

Obama: Let’s recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.  
Trump: recognizes Jerusalem as Israel’s capital  
Media: This horrifying policy of Donald Trump’s will get people killed.
 
This is why people are hypocrites…
 
Remember Hitler drinks water, Trump drinks water.

@The Smiling Pony  
Concerning my reply to you, to clarify, I wasn’t arguing the United States of America or others should intervene with nor care about the conflict between Israel and Palestine, but was arguing against your sentiment about it (emphases added)
