Wouldn't be the first time a fascist state fought a war on multiple fronts. Maybe they just enjoy it
...and from easy places to blockade, too!
I mean if the US is gonna be involved, they don’t have to worry about a new front because daddy will sue for them.
Where are all the Ukraine libs who want to fight to the last Ukrainian because "it's an INVASION" at?
Limited Invasion
Just a spoonful.
It's only a real true invasion if it occurs on the Ukrainian plains, otherwise it's just a little sparkling invasion.
We really are at the cusp of a Third World War...
Third-world war
Not to turn it into a struggle session, but I think we should stop using third world when talking about global south nations tbh.
ogey
Is ogey I don’t think you meant anything by it for the record.
moah moah kiss kiss 🥺
Chat how do I delete someone else’s comment?
Why?
Because the global south in various ways are becoming emerging powers that deserve that respect and acknowledgment. “Third world” has a lot of negative connotations associated with it also. At best it depicts them as an other that doesn’t matter and at worst it’s kinda racist. That’s just my thoughts on it.
afaik people still use that term in those places self-referentially
And China still calls itself moderately prosperous. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to have a better analysis of the situation at hand. I gave my reasoning as to why I think it shouldn’t be used, I’m not an authority or anything, but I think it’s outdated.
It's just another step on the euphemism treadmill. The moment we could convince enough people to use a less loaded term to make the meaning commonly known, people will start to use it negatively, and it will pick up negative associations.
By enough people do you mean in general or just hexbear? Because one is definitely doable even if the other isn’t. Plus we already have a different term that is heavily used already which is the global south. So what’s the problem?
I mean in general, though I'm already starting to see people use the global South pejoratively.
I haven’t seen that. Even if people were using it negatively it’s different when global south nations are actually in the middle of a modern de colonization movement and winning wars against their oppressors. At that point it’s just a bunch of crackers being mad their troops aren’t as good as what they were told. But like I said, the main point is I don’t really see the need for continuing to use third world to describe these places. I also don’t see the need to fight about it, you can say whatever you want, but I think the need to continue to say third world says something about you.
Is that official policy, or is this out of pocket sabre rattling?
Either way, I feel like genocide Joe doesn't have the spine to shit can this guy.
I'm sure that will go very well for Israel
