The west doesn't give a fuck. They say they do but it is not true. Most of us are just a bunch of hypocrites. Some people do have principles but a big portion does not. Just look at who all the evangelicals voted for in the U.S. presidential election. They voted for [1]You Know Who even after he admitted that he liked to grab em by the billy bush. Now every-time I hear them talk about Jesus I remember who they voted for and smile. They are not fooling me twice.
[1] Last time I mentioned his name I got down-voted to oblivion. Lets see what happens this time. :)
- chillingeffect 10y agoI've been seeking just such a power-attenuating alias for a few days now. I find Youknowwho a great candidate.
- Taek 10y agoYou can't simplify an election vote to that degree. A vote for a candidate is not an endorsement of all of their behavior. Obama won his first election on a platform of change. It's pretty clear that the citizenship wants something different, and Trump offered that much more strongly than Clinton. Two of the most important issues for me are surveillance and imperialism. And as bad as Trump is for both, my understanding is that Clinton would have been worse. And I'd rather vote for someone uncouth than someone who is going to be using my tax money to spy on me and to bomb other countries. You are free to have different priorities, you are free to care more about other issues, but please acknowledge that the election is more complex than "they voted for a guy who likes to 'grab em by the billy bush'"
- John23832 10y agoI'm sorry, but if you don't think the "political strongman" that is Donald Trump isn't going to take the overarching (and illegal) domestic spying program (that was created by Bush and expanded under Obama) and abuse it to its full potential, then you clearly have not listened to the man you apparently voted for. I won't even address the world's history with egomaniacs and military power.
- rm_-rf_slash 10y agoTrump literally said he would "bomb the shit out of [ISIS]." You don't have to take my word for it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aWejiXvd-P8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aWejiXvd-P8 He also has requested lists of employees at state agencies who have worked on climate change and gender equality. I really don't know where you're getting this image of him from.
- ybrah 10y agoStill salty.
- MichaelBurge 10y agoNone of that matters. Look at yourself: Do you really believe the argument that "The local pastor is a hypocrite, therefore Jesus didn't exist"?
