These people always make me laugh.
They look at the crusades, trans Atlantic slave trade, genocide of the indigenous people of the Americas and go "hmm, why are all these brown people so violent"
- Teever 2y agoPeople always shit talk the middle east and Africa for being war-torn and poor but they seem to forget that Europe was even worse a hundred years ago. While watching a documentary like 'The World at War' I kept asking myself how these people could live like this, the abject poverty, complete destruction and casual brutality was completely normal to my ancestors not too long ago. It's disheartening but it's also inspiring because it shows that change is possible and it can happen very fast if there's a social desire for it. What the United States did to bring lasting peace to the warring European nations is a testament to that.
