> You don’t have any enemies. Nobody cares about you. Nobody is coming to hurt you or your family
Do you think the U.S. and Israeli militaries have personal vendettas against each and every civilian we've killed in Iran? Of course we don't. We can barely count them. Just because you aren't personally on your community's adversary's radar doesn't mean they aren't a threat.
(To be clear, I don't believe Iran was a threat. But there are threats to Americans, and it's absolutley not brainwashing to ascribe a threat to a group to oneself personally instead of waiting for it to be purely selfishly relevant before acting.)
> Nobody is going to attack the US if your government stopped trying to meddle in other countries affairs
How did that work out for Ukraine? The idea that we live in a just world where everyone who has chaos rain down on them deserves it is so simply refuted even by a cursory glance at just modern history.
I hope you understand that the US is Russia in this metaphor, and you’re the guy jumping off a building hoping to break your legs so you don’t get sent to the frontlines
p.s. No, this is is not because of the account's political views; I haven't tracked them and don't know what they are. We just care about preserving this forum as a place for curious, respectful conversation, whatever one's views.
You’re significantly worse off assuming your government is adversarial than cooperative, regardless of what reality may be, and the majority of us know that. It’s why the chaos psyops aren’t working. We’re not happy with our government but apes together strong
