As the article extremely rightly points out, this is _the_ time to examine these issues. We cannot allow the West to begome complacent we-do-no-evil-to-others we-see-no-evil-in-us we-hear-no-evil-from-us. If something leads to dystopia, it's what we are doing to ourselves.
- rat87 5y agoThis article is full of untruths and whataboutism. It doesn't deserve such close examination
- voidr 5y agoIf it's full of "untruths" and "whataboutism", then point them out, it should be easy because you said there are so many, provide sources etc. Your comment actually makes this article more believable, because it makes it look like people who hold your viewpoint don't have a leg to stand on.
- lesuorac 5y agoIs it? The special military operations (US didn't declare war anytime in the past 3 decades) that the US has done are not popular. People have wanted out of Afghanistan, Syria, etc for a long time now. Sure some TV anchor thinks its cool how missiles look when they kill non-europeans but the actual population of the US did not. It's time now to figure out how to not have these issues in the future. We don't need to re-examine the past anymore to convince gen. pop. it was wrong; they know.
- Sporktacular 5y agoExcept the West isn't doing anything wrong at the moment! Helping arm a non-aggressive country to defend itself from an invader, taking in refugees, pushing back non-militarily are all objectively right things to so. This right-wing/tankie nonsense is exhausting.
