Are universities in China and Japan that average? I’m asking since I never felt that American universities were that good, and you’ve referred to them as really good.

Normies aren’t humans!?


That’s great!


The bible is entertaining if you consider that it is a collection of folklore across centuries. The problem with bible is the pedestal it is being kept on, not the stories themselves.


In Telugu, there is a concept of 'jump’ing from a situation. It means escaping, but the English word ‘jump’ is used.


It is about pre-emptively invading other countries on the basis of made up attacks.
Disagree. It was XP.


but who decides on this?
The US government? There is no one person behind this. This has been their foreign policy for decades. The US administration, as an imperialist entity, is acting like this.


Antarctica?


To answer why, I have a theory. (I apologize beforehand for any ignorance, I only know a very minimal history of US - Iran)
Government. The US has wanted to control Iran from a long time, and succeded once in 1953. When the revolution of 1979 happened, they lost their hold in Iran’s goverment. They have constantly been trying to topple Khamenei’s regime since then. Khamenei was getting old, and if he names a successor and they come to power, the current regime system will be cemented and more difficult to overthrow from outside. And I think the release of Epstein files has accelerated the whole process, since the connections between politicians/influential people of various countries and the US/Israel are getting revealed to the world.
Oil. After the Russio-Ukraine war started, America has been trying to stop countries from buying Russian oil and make them buy crude oil from American companies. The US needs to get hold of two things now - Oil wells (Venezuela, Arabia, Iran, I think Palestine too, I’m not sure) and trade routes. Iran has control over the Strait of Hormuz , which transports about 1/4th of world crude oil trade.
Dollar. Both Maduro and Khamenei were trying to change the currency of oil trade, that is the American dollar.(This goes back to some agreement made between USA and Saudi Arabia)


Then what would they use for ice?
You’re probably being called a tankie because you’re from lemmy.ml .


What?


I am sorry if I worded this post badly, but my question is why is this phrase ‘go to reddit’ is used? You can simply tell them that their problematic views are not welcome here. Downvote. Report the comment. Why use ‘Go to reddit’ as a slur?


I didn’t mean to say that conservative views are just different views. I phrased my initial post badly, sorry. I mean to say that this retort is used also for differing views. A few days back, I was asked to go back to reddit because I questioned the US-limited view of politics. I don’t think my view was conservative. I was just thinking in what situations this retort is used.
You might try !politics@lemmy.world, they are a US politics community.
