    So the middle east was just as violent as Europe? Ok Cool. The middle east isn’t inherently more violent than other places. To say that is incredibly racist.

    People are people. They need resources to build proper lives. Lacking that, they believe they have to fight. Western governments figured out last century that in order to win the global economic war, they need oil. So they need governments friendly to them in order to secure access to those resources. Acting like this is just an ancient conflict that has no answer is ignorant.

      Where did I say Europe hasn’t been at war with itself for centuries? Get you’re Whataboutism the fuck out of here. You suggested the middle east was at war and violent because of western powers. I provided facts that, that’s bullshit…and now you’re pulling some Whataboutism bullshit.

      There are multiple states in the middle east that are using said oil to be more prosperous…so you’re point is bullshit again.

      And please tell me how ramming a car into a pride parade is somehow fighting the good fight…

      You’re being tolerant of the intolerant.
