The zionists here, too? I used reddit for over a decade and left because of how awful zionists barrage reddit into a propogandist cesspit. And yes screw anyone who makes lemmy a battleground like reddit

I see what you’re saying, I’m from a nation of 5 million in Europe so we get the benefit of great benefits, education and healthcare while our capital only having 500ish k people. In terms of cultures. Big cities will always have more fun stuff

My guy do you struggle wirh reading comprehensive, he asked who funded the terrorists and extremism groups that came to power. Wanna know how iran became anti west when historically its the most liberal and urbanised muslim majority nation period. “bin Laden did. The guy was an egomaniac bedazzled by his own bullshit” what bullshit would that be? You must think you’re so smart and know geo politics yet come here insulting others giving the most peewee American propaganda bs. So you’re conclusion “world is more complex than America doing all bad, but at same time Osama waa bloodyminded religious zealotry”

My friend, how are you so knowledgeable, I’m an avid fan of history and geopolitics. Do did you learn from books, articles, papers or just alot of digging and curiosity?

I feel for you buddy, leave the big cities it isn’t bad everywhere

Hobbs and even rosseu both had simplistic mindset on pre history humans that were incredible naiive and harmful towards ant progression of understanding. Hobbs believed in the savage brutish and short life of these people, while rosseu believed they were all loving, peaceful, and egalitarian. In reality, humans are humans, very smart, and complex social organisations haven’t been with us well before the first villages or towns became a thing. I have an issue with both, but arguably, hobbs with so much worse, so much more racist and backwards too. The kinda guy if was alive today you’d want to beat up

You have to be actively braindead or bigoted to genuinely believe in hobbsian ideas.

There’s absolutely no reason iran isn’t our friend and Saudi Arabia (where literal wahabism is from which is a plague to the west but a bigger plague to the Muslims around the world with rich degenerate sheiks come over to tell us “authentic islam”) buttt mosaddegh nationalised oil, and to west, it never mattered about morals, human rights. It was about who could extract the most native resources and give to some white asshole nepo baby

Ask iran and iraq what happend to their Democratically elected leaders. Oh yeah, the west are massive gaslighters and couped many Democraticlly elected leader over fears of “communism” aka new age colonialism style resource extraction. The militants aren’t the cause their the symptom.

Holy fucking shit, this had me howling

Crusader Kings, Europe universalis and imperator Rome. I know this is three games but it’s the same general idea, as a history fan, this game scratches a very specific itch for me

There’s also bannerlord/warband, amazing experience, sorta like ck3 on a micro level

Okay I can get behind lemmonite, a bit more of a safer version of lemmite

It’s good in a way, because atleast people are passionate to be angry, else apathy can be worse

I agree, I just joined here from reddit, and would like see communities florish reminiscent to reddit but like you said, we need to move on from an old Ex and see how it goes
