When did I blame all of my problems on the West?

Do you think when I stub my toe that I proclaim "Damn you judeo-christian western european values!!" in anger at the sky?

I mean, yes in so far as you can generalize, of course I am jealous of that!? You think I like being stuck at the bottom of a cruel hole lined with gold and bullet casings?

What I am saying is open your eyes to your own history and recognize it is part of the same system and process whether or not the locus of power is currently within your empire or not.

I don't make this argument as a form of nihilistic relativism or try to rope other countries into the miserable complicity in yet another genocide the US has condemned itself too participating in. The US deserves FAR MORE blame than Germany, the UK, France or any other European country does.

My point however is, don't lose focus of the fact that the US is a cancerous reflection of the same tendencies towards empire, fascism, ethnic cleansing and xenophobia European history is full of. US history unfolds directly out of the worst parts of European history, you cannot deny it and if you continue to do so you hamstring your capacity to understand the coming threat to Europe that will eat away at everything your society holds dear in the name of fear of terrorism and the silhouette of an immigrant threatening to join your community and become your neighbor...

The US deserves the vast majority of the blame here (along with Israel of course). The truth is though, for many in Germany and the UK including those at the highest levels of power they are if anything jealous to be missing out on the colonialism and genocide. Again, the US is absolutely the primary problem but... really? You are going to act like the US isn't just following in the footsteps of the brutal colonial empires of England and Germany?

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Wednesday defended his characterization of Israel's airstrikes on Iran as “dirty work,” saying his remarks received widespread support despite some criticism.

Speaking to reporters after meeting with state premiers in Berlin, Merz stood firmly behind his earlier comments that Israel was doing necessary “dirty work” for Western nations through its military actions against Iran's nuclear program.

This is how I see it as a US citizen. Our violence is boomeranging hard which ok I don't wish it on others but yes absolutely this is the future of the US.

I have no doubt that the muslims would do the exact same thing, if they had the chance.

This belief is a prerequisite to turning a blind eye to the Palestinian Genocide or perhaps it is simply the last defense people have for turning a blind eye. Is that you? Is that why you are behaving like a child on such a serious topic?

Shame on you for responding to a genocide only with laughably speculative handwaving about how in a wildly different situation Muslims who are victims of a genocide would commit genocide.

This is what you choose to focus on right now?

Shame on you for lobotimizing your empathy.

So what are the "two" sides here then?

Lol ok there might be no real birds left but they definitely exist in the fossil record, it was likely the inventions of trains that drove birds to the next highest dimension (which isn't real, hence birds were real but now they are not).

People are making crude jokes but the truth is birds do have a back door it is whatever food they find tastiest. Birds are easily bribable like humans or dogs.

They ultimately lost out to silicon

for now....

Please leave, your voice is not wanted here.

If you continue to spread blantant disinformation about the genocide of palestinians I will report you.

The US is corrupt enough at this point the only thing massive corporations have to do to survive is be massive.

Many companies that never even have turned a consistent profit are major players in the US economy.

The idea of valuing actual market competition is a distraction conservatives point to as a cool aesthetic and it has little to do with the economic reality of the US. So long as the right people are in power a dictatorship is totally acceptable to conservatives by and large and the inevitable end result of that as we are seeing are stunning displays of incompetency at the highest levels of power.

This is the answer unless you consider setting up a DIY home server fun, which often the kinds of people who recommend options for this kind of thing do... so just keep that context in mind here with recommendations.

Syncthing is a great solution and it is wayyyyy less a headache than any other DIY method I have done for replacing cloud/filesharing purposes.
