Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How can Americans view their soldiers' deaths as tragic events, despite the U.S. initiating wars and killing other countries' civilians without justification?
51·9 days agoIt’s ingrained in their culture. From very young, the education system has indoctrinated the belief that their wars were justified and have romanticized the means because the ends promised a better future. They just left out the relevant parts that they eventually manipulate because if they told people the real reasoning, people wouldn’t “fight” for the causes.
The instinctively blind and gullible, short-sighted “patriots” follow the orders they are given because they refuse to see beyond their cult. They buy into the promise and because the story they were told was nice and pretty, they conflate everything and are manipulated into serving the corrupt evil they should be destroying. It’s ironic.
I can understand how people in those circles want to pay respect and may even find some attachment to the idea because someone they were close to got involved in the same cult, but at some point you need to have some kind of moral compass that tells you what you’re doing is wrong. You need to separate the idea from the reality. They don’t.

To these people, they live their lives as sheep, blindly trusting the patriotic stories being told to them and repeating the same mistakes as those before them. Patriotism is a dangerous mindset. The west likes to romanticize war in every fashion. War is not just and war is not pretty. No matter what. People see the headlines and want to believe “they’re just defending themselves” but that doesn’t justify what happens afterwards.
Just like Jerry Seinfeld… ironically.
Me too knock-off Betty White, me too…
Too many flies on my face. Not worth it.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•"If you can't afford to tip 40%, then don't eat out"
30·2 months agoI love the audacity of food places still asking for a tip on a pickup order when I’m ordering online. Like wtf. This stupid tipping culture needs to die and people who work in the industry just need to be paid fairly. This is insane.
Idk what tf it is but I get random boosts in confidence (I guess?) and my whole composure is not notch for like maybe a few days and then I lose that energy. No idea if that means I’m normally just not that way or if I’m not aware enough to understand if I should be doing something to make it so that I’m always like that. It’s just so weird.
It’s like King of The Hill but in a tank.

Shaming the person’s physical appearance as a retort for a public post that was designed to rage-bait or trigger combative response is low… tf is this shit?
If I could, I would. Unfortunately, I take my privacy seriously and I’m pretty sure one of these dating apps has already been breached. No use pretending they won’t all suffer the same fate. Oh well, at least they can star me for the reboot of 40-year-old virgin.

31·3 months agoMaybe it’s 'cause they don’t have bidets? Your ass knew better than to go through that TP hell.
This would also be top horror(s) for me… and I can’t even get pregante.
