    What does this have to do with whether or not people in other countries talk shit about global issues entirely inconsequential to their own lives? Also, the "West" is not the only entity that has colonized other nations or used its economic might to reduce the status of others.

    While I'm only really fluent in Korean outside of "Western" languages, I'm relatively* sure this is not a phenomenon unique to the West.

    I dunno if these have been posted, but some recent tunes in the vein of the thread (I think - maybe more dark than industrial but whatever) I've been enjoying:

    I think that's a big assumption to make. People ignore other conflicts for any number of reasons - lack of capacity to process that much information in a meaningful manner, more local issues taking up more of their time, or lack of awareness in the first place. Someone may know about the treatment of Rohyinga in Myanmar, but they may not know much in detail. Or they may not have read about it all, if their reading/information habits are more directed to local issues or issues where they are experts/work. That doesn't mean they are not concerned about the human cost. With respect to your first point, there are a lot of angles for consideration, some will undoubtedly be vested interest (after all, International Relations are still largely based on realism, and occasionally offensive realism -as an aside, Mearsheimer and Walt's book "the Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy" is a very good read), some will be over concerns of war, some will be involved precisely for humanitarian reasons. Since the division of Palestine can be traced back in the modern era to the Paris Peace Accords (as a rough starting point), that's more than 100 years of context, which will inevitably lead to many positions being taken, some disingenuous, others not. I don't think that putting it in black and white terms such as "being led by vested interests and Western citizens choosing sides" is a very helpful position, because of all that context.

    You may not have scrolled all of the "How does the world view China?" thread, but there is plenty of discussion there on HK and Taiwan. Myanamr, I mean my social media feed is full of it cause I worked there and have some journalist friends who are still there. But on a board dedicated to a niche music genre with like what, 200 really active posters (that's being generous), how many do you expect to have a good understanding of something happening a world away (the majority in the US, UK)? If you read Myanmar newspapers, there's not a whole lot of coverage of all the bullshit happening in the US. People are still local to a large degree. Israel is a different story because of the longevity of the issue, the relationship the UK and the US have with Israel, and the Israeli population in the US.

    Sorry, but these two posts are terrible takes. https://www.google.com/search?q=yemen&client=firefox-b-e&tbm=nws&source=lnt&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjN2umxn-XwAhXkMlkFHWkFAZoQpwV6BAgHECQ&biw=1440&bih=771&dpr=1 That was literally 5 seconds on google typing in "Yemen" clicking the news tab, then selecting archives from the drop down menu. Yeah, the gliterati on WATMM might not have posted anything about Yemen getting bombed, but we're not really the place for that for the most part. This thread came about because of some reasons that I won't assume, but just because no one posted about it here doesn't mean people didn't care. It's also hardly surprising that people in the US would talk about Israel-related matters, considering the Jewish population in the US is only slightly smaller than the Jewish population in Israel.

    This is some good alternate-universe WWF fan fic. Almost as good as mid-90s to turn of the willenium this-universe WWF.

    Your whole NI tax bill does not go to the NHS. https://www.sanctuarypersonnel.com/blog/2020/04/how-is-the-nhs-funded Americans (any place with private insurance as the predominant form of health care coverage) get the privilege of paying their insurance premiums, and then usually have deductibles to pay on top of that. Now of course it’s more complicated than that with many Americans getting health care insurance through their work, but the US spends more than double per capita on health care than the UK. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_health_expenditure_per_capita It does not have twice as good health care outcomes. https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/quality-u-s-healthcare-system-compare-countries

    You should tell them the vax will make them cum as hard as Jerry Falwell Jr. watching his wife getting plowed by a cabana boy.

    like @danshoebridgesaid, you can get all the coolest merch from the youtub. It's new. It's hype. It's definitely not cultish.

    Pretty sure he meant it as a diss - had to think about what his handlers had told him would be cool and edgy. "It'll be just like when the left calls it 'faux news'" fucking childish playground bullshit which is a hallmark of modern politics sadly (not just modern politics, but more pronounced nowadays).

    Did he call it MSDNC? I don't know how they'll ever recover from that cutting blow.
