All the western countries done their own genocides within recent history, and have run out of victims. But the basic colonial mindset never went away.
It must be like a breath of fresh air that, yet again, brave Europeans have a frontier to conquer and savages to tame.
That, and most leaders are being actively blackmailed by the Israeli intelligence services; and also, a good chunk of their population thinks Israel is required for their Sky God to kill most of the people on earth and reap their souls in judgment day.
Western democracies have done a lot of progress the last generations, but scratch at the surface and one will find a medieval mindset. Scratch at that and one finds a stone age mindset.
I hear that but I don't see any fucking taming being done - zero countries except Palestine are active, Ukraine is occupied with their own oppression, so zero leaderships are deserving of my recognition or respect. Every single leader is either a weak-chinned worm refusing to object to evil, a savage and cruel monster oppressing the weaker or a nothing who abstains from conflict, and all need to be burned out and replaced by people who can lead.
We need fucking liberation armies
I suspect effective and able leaders are being selected against, in many parts of the planet, due to recent changes of economies and technology.
But even in the older days they were very rare. Societies enable sociopaths regardless of government philosophy. They always have.
I think the Palestinians are victims of an alignment of malice, indifference and arseholes. They cannot be rescued unless evacuated. And the West Bank will follow Gaza later.
Anyone who is not a spineless worm is checked by the American military parked nearby. And contrary to the hopes of many, America will be there for all the steps, and will not just go away due to issues
