  1.  Alessandro Leto  Yeah so why does half of the white population not give a fuck about that supposed culture somehow all Europeans have. You guys are fucking sick in the head what are some things culturally that a Albanian and College student from California have in common? In the United States we dont even have a unified culture we have urban public workers, suburban small businesses owners, and rural cowboys. Dont even begin to speak to me about how Europe is culturally homogenous.

  2.  @simonacerton3478  What the fuck are you talking unity was low as fuck in the past. We had this whole thing called the civli rights movement that has been increasing inter ethnic, and religious unity every since it ended. The problem we have now is partisanship. I blame fox news which has been demonizing immigrants and drumming up the non existent fears of half of the US white population.

  3. The elite could give a fuck about micro aggressions lmaooo. You dumb fuck conservatives actually believe this shit. You guys take shit that happens on college campuses and blow that shit completely out of fucking proportion.

  4.  @bigboineptune9567  Fucking barely MOST Americans could give a fuck about that shit bro. Wait cops shooting people is a micro aggression?

  5.  @TwoDollarGararge  I honestly could care less. If you support the Republican Party I honestly don’t think you care about the future of this country or the world for that matter and have been led astray. We need universal healthcare (might not get it anytime soon but the dems are the fastest way to it), a higher minimum wage, some type of drugs and prions reform, and real attempts to try and slow climate change ( will definitely benefit the country and create manufacturing jobs instead of trying to take them back like Dump). I honestly dont see how no one can see these glaring problems that actually have really bad effects on us not stupid shit like immigration. I thank God everyday for the Rich Republicans and Democrats who need the cheap labor as they turn the country more blue. @Demun since you are likely going to come at me for being American specific again. America plays a large role in climate change and Western Europe will follow when we turn away from fossil fuels when we do. Also Western Europe already understands that health care is important.

  7.  @simonacerton3478  Why the fuck cant the other half of the white population deal with it and the other half can? I wonder why maybe it has something to do with this certain problem we have in the US. A lot of people stood against it in the 60s I believe.

  8.  @Munchausenification  I think Africa is woefully underrated partly due to typical American ignorance and the rest likely racism. Soon the consumer market in Africa (kind of already is) will be to much to ignore. Most countries in Africa are getting there but it will take a while longer.

  9.  @gustini2146  Ahh so causing the death of 200,000 Iraqis and the rise of ISIS (who got most of their material from the US) isnt an atrocity?
    11
  10.  @grimkahn3775  Are you fucking brain dead? You realize both Iraq and Afghanistan were started by the Bush Administration? Trump carried out more drone strikes than Obamas 8 years of presidency and he repealed the law to allow us to look into civilian deaths to it. Trump sent troops to guard oil fields and left the Kurds (the ones who were the best at fighting ISIS) out to dry and let Turkey get involved. He also got even more involved in Yemen. Dont even get me started on Iran Trump has probably already started the domino effect that will lead to war and Biden will be blamed.

  11.  @johnknight4532  What do you mean? We literally caused the deaths of millions in Africa just to make our phones. We started a drug war that only strengthened the cartels and since has ruined millions of lives and killed hundreds of thousands of South and Central Americans. And I can’t even begin to list all the coups, proxy conflicts, and genocides we are responsible for. We even still mistreat our own minorities to this day with mass incarceration, and the over policing of their neighborhoods. We can not stand on a high horse. Without first realizing our own mistakes and trying to fix them. We are still in the Middle East and Africa drone striking targets with civilians daily for God sakes. No wonder the world is turning away from us.

  12. @Testbed Elite But we the US send them to Guantanamo bay or send them to the afterlife with drone strikes.

  19.  @thechloromancer3310  The US is the richest country on Earth if anyone can do it right its us. That is why we staggered the minimum wage. Stop trying to make a higher minimum wage sound bad when the pros heavily out-way the cons. Climate change is real thats all I have to say about that.

  20.  @BandidoTread198  Which countries? Also most of Africas debt is still held by the west. IMF loans are also often more expensive than Chinese ones.

  23.  ALeto3  If someone is 56% white are they white?

  24.  @AaronGuest  Which race of people did they genocide? Also we culturally and physically genocided the Natives, and there is an argument that cultural genocide was committed against enslaves Africans. We are no better than China.

  25.  Alessandro Leto  Lmaoo what the fuck is wrong with you people.

  26.  ッGalacthicc  involvement started by bush and most drone strikes with Trump. Keep in mind that we got dangerously close to war with Iran. Maybe Trump has already set it in motion.

  28.  @Thecognoscenti_1  Wasn’t the Taiping rebellion started because some general thought he was the second coming of Jesus Christ?

  29.  @demun6065  Im still talking about the west in the first comment. The second is when I get America specific.

  30.  @thechloromancer3310  There is something called per capita. You see in the US there are more white poeple than black people so the numbers will not show the real problem. Black people are disproportionately shot and mistreated by the police.

  31.  @thewildcardperson  You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about the wages have stagnated since the Reagan era despite worker productivity increasing. Its actually supposed to be higher than 15. The rich in America just keep seeing their share of wealth grow while everyones else is left behind. Value comes from the workers. Business owners take your labor and give it back to you in exchange for money. Money that your taxes printed and created. If people are too poor to afford consumer products the whole system falls in on itself.

  32.  @gups4963  I mostly said it was typical American ignorance if you think Racism plays no role at ALL in the United States then I dont know what to say.
    3
  33.  @gups4963  When did I say suspected? Im black bro lmaooo im over 94% African Ranging from West Africa all the way to South Africa. I have Khoisan dna. I know the genetic diversity of Africa that is why I said the Bantus that live in Africa are unique genetically speaking since they interbred with the hadze and khoisan peoples as they migrated south.
    3
  34.  @gups4963  When did I say it was peaceful? I literally just said that it wasn’t some kind of unified pre meditated conquest. The mixing and fighting took place over hundreds of years. I was just making the point that bantus and Khoisan were fighting themselves and each other it was nothing like the British conquest.
    3
  35.  @gups4963  The Khoisan are distinct when did I disagree. When did I conflate them with the Bantu I want a qoute. Bantu and Khoisan have been mixing since they reached South Africa. The Xhosa speaking people are probably the most mixed out of all the Nguni language speaking people. Xhosa has the most amount of loan click consonants of all Nguni languages. Nelson Mandela is a clear example of a Khoisan and Bantu mix.
    3
  36.  @gups4963  Yeah but you literally knew jacks shit about South African history, genetics, and ethnic groups. Throughout this whole conversation you ignored everything I said and just kept talking about me saying it was peaceful when I clearly said in the first comment they were fighting. Your point was that the Bantus like the Europeans did when that wasn’t the case. I think you are talking about the “The Crushing” You realize the Zulu were fighting their bantu South African neighbors right? which caused a domino effect of battles and migration, coupled with a massive drought, inability of New world crops to adopt to the climate, and Europeans being involved im the mix lead to the perfect storm. I dont think that was deliberate but a bunch of bad shit happening at the same time. Also eastern Khoisan were targeted heavily for slavery by the Europeans keep in mind the Zulu and Xhosa etc etc lived on the Western side. German would hunt bushmen for sport.

  37.  @ulyssesglemao6783  You realize what the sentence you said at the beginning makes no sense. Is the example that the person hates trump or likes him you say downplay his mistakes and then orange mad bad.

  38.  @CynicalFatie  The Boers were a European power? Were they under control of the Dutch? I thought they were independent? The Zulu fought valiantly but what could they do against modern military technology that they had relatively little experience with. Im not racist against my self bro im Afro Jamaican with dna from that area. Also that white guilt shit is completely overblown. Only a literal very small percentage of white people actually have “white guilt” and apologize all the time. Like I could give a fuck about them lmaoo. The Great Trek occurred because they couldn’t keep slaves anymore lmaooo and were mad about British government being put in place. They then proceeded to march north conquering and destroying many Native cities and villages in their path it impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of Natives.

  39.  @grimkahn3775  We may have shit ton of guns but not every cares about them. Most of the population dont even own guns. “Liberty” and private property can be said about most of the fucking world.

  40.  @leon-jj9dv  Actually most African countries were doing alright for themselves soon after colonization but western loan interest was to high and we saw some of the most unstable times of Africa in the 80s and 90s as economic growth decreased and instability increased.
    2
  41.  @deltapapa130  There are 54 countries in Africa. Also instability doesn’t necessarily mean war it could just be high crime rates, or protests, or political instability. Do you know the history of Nigerias war and how the French supported Biafra to take control of their oil? The Congo was becoming stable until Patrice Lumumba was assassinated by the Belgians then it fell into complete chaos.
    2
  42.  @pabloarellano5485  The Great Leap Forward was the policy Mao put in place to rapidly industrialize China and collectivize crops. Due to many blunders like killing of certain pests to increase crop production caused unforeseen effects to the environment leading to a massive famine. Also during this period Mao directly killed 1-2 million people. I do not believe that for people to die due to famine was deliberate as he was trying to get as many people farming and working in factories as possible. But the people he killed directly and the crack downs he carried out have no justification. Deaths range between 15-55 million which is a pretty wide range.

  43.  @TwoDollarGararge  I honestly dont care about the way I come at them now. If you still support the Republicans or is still a Conservative I honestly dont know how your brain is even functioning. After watching the Republicans Senate just ignore the cries for help it just stumps me.

  44.  @TwoDollarGararge  What is this social fabric? What is your political ideology then?
    2
  45.  @TwoDollarGararge  I somehow knew libertarian was going be what you type. Im sorry bro but I think libertarians are worse than Conservatives. They flip flop everywhere and have no back bone whatsoever. Taxation works or else you wouldn’t even be using the internet or likely your computer. The advancements in internet were created by the government through our taxes. If you honestly think that Private companies can run most of our society you must not now how bad things used to be in the days before our government put regulations that on corporations. Chemicals and Pollutants could be dumped anywhere and everywhere killing people all the time. Up until recently leaded gas was used because it was cheaper leading to many deaths and conditions due to lead poisoning. It wasn’t until the government got involved that things got better. They were allowed to build their own towns at one point where they literally owed everything and you had to pay them for groceries and clothes. They had their own police force that heavily cracked down on strikes. Many people became trapped with debt and would often be harassed by the police force even if the fled. Dont even get me started on all the children working overnight in factories all across the US back then. When corporations had their say life was not good for the Average American worker. Also for some reason a lot of the ones that I talk to end up being borderline or just are Nazis its really fucking weird. Please tell me what the social fabric of the US is? When has there ever been a united social fabric in the US of all places? We could literally just split into different countries with vastly different cultures. In the past you think pioneers in the wild west experienced life the same way and had the same culture as people did on the East coast (like NYC)? This can be said with recent and 2nd Italian and irish immigrants vs assimilated whit Americans, white vs black, rural, vs urban. The only reason we stay together is because we would be too weak separated, and the national government would probably try to get the state back and most states would literally just fall apart without the national government. Also who would want to live in the country of Florida I sure as hell wouldn’t.

  46.  @thebigman9522  Bro where the fuck are you guys getting this info from? Raising wages has a very small effect on prices.

  47.  @thebigman9522  Please do some research.
    2
  48.  @grimkahn3775  Yeah but you guys are literally saying wages raise prices without explaining it to me. The burden of proof is yours. Which makes it pretty obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about and get your opinions from shady places.

  49.  @jodazague8333  Nice argument
    2
  50.  @grimkahn3775  Who started Iraq and Afghanistan again? Who started the gulf war? Its like you guys ignore recent history. Donald Trump is literally some rich turd businesses man how is he not establishment? The people he had hired have been “establishment”. Trump is just a fucking idiot so maybe he seemed anti establishment to you? Is there anything else he supposedly has done that was anti establishment?

  51.  @quinn5193  The US companies were making A KILLING in Latin America basically setting up authoritarian serfdoms in central America. We also played a role in the economic “colonization” of China.

  52.  @ShadowPhoenixMaximus  You know the West did the same to Africa after their independence right? That is why quality of life, and economic growth decreased and violence increased so heavily in the 80s and 90s. Also these debt traps you speak of in Africa which havent even happened yet or not likely to occur.

  53.  @Tethloach1  The Romans would be horrified to see the British become their successors. Also it is debatable wether Rome was the “Global Superpower” it was pretty regional in terms of the Mediterranean. Same thing with Greece.

  54.  @arolemaprarath6615  Yeah one of the superpowers to people in Sub Saharan Africa, The Americans, Oceania, South East Asia, and East Asia the could care less about the going ons of the Romans.

  55.  @gups4963  Bantus did not “invade” South Africa l. It was not some kind of coordinated attack as the Europeans had done. The Bantus were not united and fought with each other and so did the khoisan. Also they mostly intermingled with Khoisan since there population was larger as they were farmers. This is why bantu languages in South Africa have Khoisan clicks and many have Khoisan dna and vice versa. Also now Rwanda is the safest country in Africa and a little bit below Japan. Belgians created their division with pseudo scientific racism.

  56.  @golagiswatchingyou2966  umm no. Im not going to argue with you are so far gone that even stats wont change your mind.
    2
  57.  @gups4963  okay then Botswana is the second you can literally fucking google it dumb fuck. Denisovans didn’t exist in Africa their range was in Asia dumb fuck. It ended up being both the Khoisan and then bantu land because they share dna and parts of their language and culture now. They “Bantus” that live there are a unique people to South Africa.
    2
  58.  @gups4963  They share recent dna like from the mixing that has been going since the Bantus reached South Africa. What are you talking about? Europeans interbred with relatively few of their colonies on a large scale the places where they did the most they created unique populations like the cape coloreds, and the big one most the mestizos and mullatos and everything in between of Latin America they are apart of that land now.
    2
  59.  @gups4963  Im stating facts. You said the Khoisan had denisovan dna lmaoooo.

  60.  @gups4963  How am I proving your point explain?

  61.  @gups4963  Im talking about the Bantu population can you read? Cape Coloreds are apart of the land again are you even reading my comments?

  62.  @CynicalFatie  The British weren’t coordinated? Even the Dutch were somewhat coordinated with the Great Trek.

  63.  @ulyssesglemao6783  ohh sorry. I was just asking you to explain I didn’t get what you said. Its pretty early in the morning for me.

  69.  @grimkahn3775  Trump pulled back troops to guard oil fields in Syria and left the Kurds the main fighters of ISIS to dry and let Turkey get involved in the Conflict. The troops are still there lmaooo. Remember Turkeys history with ethnic minorities in within their borders? Trump literally brought us an order away from war with Iran. Any evidence that he is amassing troops for Myanmar. Can I get a source on Biden sending more troops to Syria and gearing up to take out Assad?

  70.  @grimkahn3775  So no evidence whatsoever you were just making random assumptions fucking typical.

  71.  @grimkahn3775  Please explain how Trump is less so. He has done shit tons of drone strikes literally giving money to the military complex. What the fuck are you on about?
