Congrats to India!
It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you let your people starve and allow brutal sectarian violence towards cultural minorities.
But enough about the US.
We've gone from "Congrats to India for doing thing!" to "India sucks because of unrelated thing" to "The United States sucks because of that thing too" in three comments.
It's almost like these people don't give a shit and are only looking for excuses to shit on other countries, especially western ones and in particular the US, regardless of relevance.
I don’t recall singling out any country. In fact I did the opposite. I called them all out.
It’s almost like you didn’t actually read the comments fully.
You aren't even in the above comments. What are you talking about?
The US was picked specifically in this chain.
Lemmy is kind of predictable in that way.
Show me in the US where there are minorities being paraded through the streets and gang raped. Show me the lynchings happening in the US right now.
Fuck if with your what about bullshit. I can imagine you responding in a similarly flippant manner about a similar occurrence in Rwanda. Because you only care about things to score ideological points.
Every country sucks. People suck. You can’t get away from it. Enjoy the victories where you can find them.
Not all people suck, there's plenty of good people around like lemmy devs and admins. But then we get countries and their governments trying to submit everyone under the rule of few and messing up with the good projects by kind people
Found givesomefucks' alt account
I've noticed those two accounts backing each other up.
People can agree on things you know. Assuming I’m an alt shows that you’d rather engage in conspiratorial thinking to act like there’s some threat rather than a more benign assumption that two different people on this website could hold comparable opinions, especially after the news coming from Manipur.
I didn't say it was an alt, I said they backed each other up. Way to show how you have conspiratorial thinking lol.
How did any of that help design, build, and land a craft on the Moon?
Maybe not the time
Yo they just landed on the moon who cares about the poor beggars starving, once we get to jupiter space scientists will unlock food pills to fill their stomach
