I don't disagree with you. Compassion, kindness, love make everything better and life worth living. "You should / have to be compassionate, kind, loving" is a door to manipulation. When people with agenda pour resources into destabilizing civilization and ask you to be compassionate to compensate.

How are anti-vaccine rhetorics not treated on an equal basis with terrorist manifestos? They both call for the indiscriminate killing of random innocent people. "Be kind to your terrorist neighbor." Fuck, no.

We're talking vaccines, not Gödel's incompleteness theorems. In this day and age, there is no excuse for not understanding basic public health science. People who don't should just be declared too mentally incapacitated to live on their own, much less make decisions for others.

It is *not true* that on an individual level you should be kind to people who are *deliberately undermining the welfare of other people around them*. Fuck that shit. If someone wants to be kind, whatever, it's their decision. *No one* should tell them to be kind.

Looking through photos I took 30 years ago, before I left Vietnam for the first time. I was pointing the camera at the river. The bomb craters were just normal features of rice fields. It has only now struck me how extraordinary that is.

Here's a radical idea. Don't compete by holding down other people preemptively. Compete by being better. Invest in your people--their healthcare, their education, their ability to have and pursue dreams and express their creativity. See how far that takes you.

South Korea is an actual democracy. Holds their leaders accountable. Trump hates that. Vietnam, Iran, Cuba were never threats to the US. They just dared having governments that represented their people, their history, their culture. Threats in the sense they don't automatically submit.

There's a reckoning coming for the gap between the idea of western civilization and the actual practice of it. The Trump regime does in the open what the US has done behind close doors for centuries--"American interests" meant dominance and subjugation of other people.

Yeah, part of me didn't feel bad for South Korea, because they gave Trump a literal gold crown when he was running roughshod over Americans.

Trump can't even surrender to Iran. US territory doesn't mean the US can actually go there. It just means the people of the Strait of Hormuz can have a US passport and the right to travel to and work in the US without needing a visa.

The US had an aircraft carrier in the Pacific, to exercise freedom of navigation and challenge China's "nine-dash-line" claim of the entirety of the South China Sea. Now it doesn't any more. Why check your opponent directly, when you can fight (and lose to) their proxy.

A weak population is easy to rule. The US is experiencing what colonized countries went through 150 years ago. Healthcare, education, media, etc., being hollowed out, being worked to the bone and exploited in a million ways, are all on purpose.

Iranians have been portrayed as bloodthirsty terrorists for decades. And yet the idea that they would blow Air Force One out of the sky is just not credible. Meanwhile, the US has actually assassinated layers of Iranian political leaders.

Ah, the sound of a dying empire. Compare this to the Romans. In crisis, they installed a black warrior emperor. He commanded more legions than anyone before or after and reigned over the empire at its most extensive. The Romans didn't care he was black. Inclusivity wins. Look up Severus.
