    Brutal take. I’m guessing you felt that way about Russia’s fall to fascism, Hong Kong’s failed protests, Iran’s protesters a few years ago, North Korea in general, Chinese espionage and the destruction of China’s native minority populations, Hungarians not saving their democracy, etc., etc.

    All those citizens are babies too, right? Asking for help from the global community in some cases and being ignored. Whoa. Such toddlers. Not being able to resist the systems of power in their nation-states and fix their problems. All they had to do was rise up! Such babies.

    I guess my point is… unless you’re French or Vietnamese, stfu.

    If you are French or Vietnamese, you rock. I’m sorry to be a dick.

      A deserved take. As for the rest of what you said, I’m not interested in the past, I’m interested in the present.

        It has been a truism throughout history that most people just want live their lives in peace. Equally true is that there is always a small group of assholes that can’t be happy for one stupid reason or another and find a way to make it everyone else’s problem.
