    Just out of curiosity, what’s your take on the war in Ukraine?

      it’s a nation whose ruling class wants to change it’s old hegemony for a new one that’s genociding gazans and the old hegemony has the means to force them to stay through a war and the new hegemony is using it’s wealth to help that nation’s ruling class achieve its goals by providing weaponry; logistics; and experience for that war.

        Yeah… I figured you were going to say something like this. And what’s your opinion about the Uyghur genocide?

          a country’s ruling class is disenfranchising a ethnic group in every way possible for social, political & financial means.

            Again… figured that’s what you were going to say. So how are different from the people you’re referring to in your original comment? You use a buzz word like “disenfranchising” instead of persecute or suppress which could ultimately be perceived as turning a blind eye to the issues. So how are you different?

              i’m no different and we’re all the same where it matters.

              a tiny portion of us are lucky to have more wealth and education; but we’re all human beings with the same foibles and blind spots. those lucky ones sometimes decide that their own desires outweigh others rights and they use their wealth to work with other like minded individuals and we end up w genocides as a result; among other things.

                  i wish i were. your line of questioning is making me doubt that you’re engaging in good faith.

                    I haven’t argued with you once about your ideologies. Nor have I criticized your ideologies. What I am trying to understand is the how and the why.
