The middle east is fucked up because religion matters more than politics or reality.
you have no idea how fucked up middle eastern politics can get. first split by sunni/shia/other religions, then allegiance to syria/iran/israel/iraq/egypt/selection of gulf states, and sometimes by tribe/clan allegiance too just to keep things from getting too easy. then try to make a government out of like 15 parties all with divergent goals funding and incentives
That might even explain the American angle. Nobody else has managed to make them care about non-America places.
Religion matters more than politics in the middle east because the maps were drawn by Europeans to seperate people from the same ethnicity from one another so religion is the only unifying aspect of the country you’d be born in.
The paradox of being an antitheist is that you have to believe that religious ideas are uniquely powerful and dangerous. Politics, history, culture, and all context are just debris drifting in the mighty river of religion.
No I don’t, I just have to think religion is one of the levers of control the powerful use to control the hopeless and gullible.
Its not so much religious ideals but moreso tribalist dogma that’s uniquely dangerous. Religion just so happens to be the particular tribalist dogma we’re talking about here.
Where is the paradox?

Totally. I’m a big ncd enjoyer from way back. Fuck, my handle is my favorite bomb lol
I’m not trying to make a stir for the mods. Just sharing my opinion that it feels like a credible post of a current conflict.
“The problem with getting your jollies by pretending to be
moronsboots is that sometimesmoronsboots find you sayingmoronicboot things and think they’re in good company.”
Yes.
Feels like serious posting to me edit or “haha people died”, which I saw from the sidebar.

Are you truly sane if reality doesn’t scare you?
This is NCD. We’ll make memes about ANY aggressor nation, especially if they’re western.
