        “the middle east can’t figure their shit out”

        —the civil western man after decades of colonization, coups, arming terrorists, assassinations, bombing, wars, torture, and otherwise meddling in the middle east.

        thank you so much for figuring shit out for yourself, o civilized man. please update us whenever you figure out how to do literally anything without massive exploitation. it’s been a quarter millenium, we’re waiting.

        I mean, the middle East was fine until y’all fuckers came in at the beginning of the 20th century and started taking people’s countries. They were being giving to invaders like slices of pie, ya know.

        So because a few people who cover up their strive for power with bullshit ideologies that are tangential to religion you want everyone surrounding them, innocent civilians, to die - people who have been born into these countries, who cannot leave even if they were willing to sever the ties to their beloved ones and everything they knew, children, disabled people, you just want them to die alongside - because you are sick of reading about it on the news?

        Fuck you then.

          Religious zealots blowing each other up and I’m the bad guy because I think they are wrong for doing it. Got it.

            You’re the bad guy for assuming because a couple of dozen people in power want to blow each other’s civilians up and monger hate amongst their citizens everyone deserves to die. You’re the asshole for wanting to arm them to the teeth so that they can finally blow each other up for good. Yes, that does indeed make you the bad guy.

              I don’t actually believe we should arm both sides, I’m being an asshole. I just hate the fact that people kill each other for religious bullshit. I’m so fucking sick of it.
