    Stick together and prepare for war. Because the only way to deal with bullies is to push back.

    As an aside, I’ve had interactions with multiple libs regarding this Greenland hubbub and they ALL use that framing.

    How can these people have such an infantile view of world politics? It’s so fucking aggravating. Real life is not like a school playground spat you imbeciles!

      It’s basically the only thing that libs learned from the great man telling of putting the entire of ww2 on Hitler. In almost all schools everywhere it’s hammered home that appeasement was a mistake.

      The decision to teach that in schools as the mistake of ww2 has led to liberal decisions in the modern day.

        completely agree with this. the crudely reductionist view of everything, boiling it down to the level of inter-personal disputes. pretty sick of it, tbh.

      It’s because Capitalism. This is what this system shapes people into. Instead of dialectical materialism you get some shit like Rational choice model, game theory, in school you don’t do critical thinking you do taxonomy mostly. Even if you do get sent to a private school they’re not gonna teach you anything out of the ordinary they’ll just go more in depth and teach you how to exploit people more efficiently, unless perhaps it’s like a Marxist school and idk how many of those exist in Europe
