It’s always ulterior there’s no doubt about it, the first paragraph is as media biased as you can get on these matters so to anyone reading don’t buy into these reasons, the US doesn’t have anything to prevent or respond to, they only enforce and instigate

AI didn’t steal jobs or creative work of most normal IRL people, so same as with what happened to artist years ago, they had to navigate the crisis without them, the same is happening to programmers now, people IRL are not exposed on a personal level to as much of the dark side of AI business, only environmental and educational arguments land with them, and they’re not as effective when it gives them access to seemingly free art, info and computer skills they never had

This is how i understood them personally, they don’t see it as their war, just as a war, hopefully with free subsidized system going away they’ll take a harder stance like the rest of us

This is normal don’t be ashamed, social media, chaos of this decade and phones have destroyed our attention span, keeping focused on an activity is so difficult for most of this generation especially if it’s as uneventful as reading is

My best advice is to try Manga, the visuals might keep you interested enough to hook you on the activity of reading, then you can try more text heavy books as you go, you have to be addicted to it to fight addiction of phones

You can also try Audiobooks but i personally find myself zoning out on them so many times, it’s like i’m consuming books without actually taking in it’s content

No i’m still learning, my idea has always been that soviets foreign intervention was to support socialism and communism and to fight capitalism, that was their end goal in offering support, and my idea on russia is that their foreign intervention is to combat western influence and push for russian dependency which just means a change in management

It’s hard for me to praise them knowing they’re just as likely to exploit for sake of nationalism as the US is, but i have no doubt i’m Anti-US even if i’m not pro-russia, i don’t take sides based on who’s benefited even if it’s other africans more so i try to have a full picture of the political scene, that’s where i stand

If you have any documentaries or books i can read on russia’a support for independence against france i’d love to go through them!

I’m also African. I used to be fairly biased towards west, as in letting them get away with foreign intervention with just minor scrutiny while being strongly against china russia and islam for their downfalls(misogyny, oppression ect). up until the whole files release and that took me down a rabbit hole of learning about reality of 9/11 the magnitude of bias in mainstream media and finally reading about history of socialism and eventually communism starting from Che Guevara

That alone already made me have severe criticism of US as is but what sent me over the edge is how complacent americans are, if these things happened in any other country the entire economy would be shut down by the people, but they’re just trying to avoid talking or bringing up this subject, or saying it’s out of their power, then the next moment starting a topic about their latest high end keyboard and travel plans, then switching to the difficulties of living end to end

I do my best to try and be kind i swear i do, but things like this actually drive me insane not cause they happen but because of how often it does. I kid you not i’m completely sold that if anyone will stop the west’s imperialism and foreign intervention it’s going to be another African American or LGBTQ or some minority as usual, because only suffering can bring about change and i do not see suffering from the lifestyles of the americans i talk with, it’s always only on paper

The way i see it is they feel unmotivated to reign their government in due to their lifestyle no longer being at the top of charts or better than europe? How does that fix anything in their situation though, and what do i say living off only 2 meals a day to save money? The only thing that got majority of west sphere to hate genocidal regime wasn’t their tax money being spent on it but the raising of gas price? Please someone make me central again i’m so sad now

No i’m not paid off i’m just waiting for the American people to pull their weight in all of this or not silencing and smearing people that are trying to pull in their behalf before i can feel the brotherhood bond with them as i do with soviets(not current russia) and china fighting back against RAM cartel and fossil fuels, please

People in the past or future don’t have to worry about what’s lost or gained, only living people in the present get to worry about it because they have a choice on what will be lost and what won’t, so it’s our(for now) turn in the timeline to wear the “shroud” of loss and decide what value to give everything around us, is that species worth losing, what about life of someone far away, truth is worth losing? Steak? Connections? No one blames present people for wanting to enjoy themselves they shouldn’t have this responsibility, but they do, everyone is counting on you, here’s your shroud, good luck!

At best it’s no longer fulfilling if it ever used to be At worst it’s exploitative to you and everyone and everything you love
