  • At least half of the things in the pic are things I would definitely avoid in a partner (“baby daddies”, revealing clothes, not mom/wife material, girlboss, dislikes God [big show of ungratefulness], has a male bff but no female friends, etc), and I’m pretty sure the vast majority of men would also (barring parts of the West but one city in India is as populated as half of the Western world so 🤷). I still wouldn’t complain about it or take the time to draw and do all of this, it’s not like they’re gonna randomly change their lives after seeing that pic, I’d rather just continue avoiding these women like I always have the same way women do with undesirable men.








  • I’ve been downvoted to hell and back (I’m an anti-imperialist, anti-Western supremacy monotheist that believes in objective reality and that some decisions are objectively more or less moral than others, so it’s just expected 🤷) but I doubt it’s ever been some sort of coordinated effort and not just what happens when one reads the truth/different POVs that oppose and weaken one’s idiosyncrasies but is too cowardly and/or stupid to process it, so all one can do is have an emotional tantrum in the form of a downvote.


  • Because they don’t have the intellectual capacity and/or the courage to engage with what you’ve said in earnest, since it might mean they’d have to agree with you and admit they were wrong (and these are not wise people who understand admitting you’re wrong is the path to being right). They’d rather just “e-boo” you without any more explanation and hope the other stupid cowards do the same and there we go, we were right all along because of numbers! Morons, lol, spineless morons.

    And the downvotes on the post I’m replying to just gives what I’ve said here more credence, lol.






  • This is just the result of a power vacuum/imbalance left by the declining American empire. And there are many more players (the rich af Gulf countries, mainly SA and the UAE, India, Turkey) and some of them are not even nations like banking institutions, technocrats and capitalist oligarchs, and asset management firms, for example.

    If I may, I think the reality of things is more like this: the world has realized that the American empire and its vassals can no longer unilaterally make the rules and force every other nation to do their bidding or face the consequences, things have changed both in the US (it’s no longer the MIC and banks deciding the direction of the country but now there are multiple conflicting groups of interest; corruption has done its thing and every part of the American empire suffers from theft at every level, the military included) and in the world as a whole and the balance of power has shifted. So, since we’re firmly in a post-American hegemony era, all that has to be decided is how this transition will be managed and what America’s new role will be in this new world. Before, the whole world belonged de facto to the West, which means ultimately America, now different nodes of power have arisen and power will be distributed between them.
