America controls Saudi, Kuwait, Iraq and Venezuela. Only Iran falls outside and if they start doing naughty things they are going to get invaded.

America is the largest oil producer in the entire world

We are not restricting the surveillance, just making it more expensive.

What we need is forced inspections of the source code and other ways to actually mitigate the security risks.

Just making things more expensive does nothing to mitigate actual the risk.

Pretty ironic that it took Putin invading Ukraine to make Europe invest into renewables.

And not to save the planet but to be less dependent on energy from fossil fuels…

This is the type of comment written by people that talk about .ml but never actually go to .ml

Plenty of uncensored criticism of both China and Russia. Just don’t scream at everyone that they are a tankie.

The pelgrimage to Mekka where Muslims worship uuuuuhhhhh…

Mohammed! Their God!

Which uhhhh

frantically pastes generic poorly researched Wikipedia article full of contradictions

Pedophile!

Don’t look up the history of anyone from before the 20th century when these supposed Christians suddenly reached enlightenment. The inclusion of Christians is especially weird since they always pushed for younger ages of marriage than Muslims in the middle ages. Back then the Muslims were supposedly prudes.

Wonder why everyone didn’t wait until they were 35 to get married in a time where the average life expectancy was 31 years.

Presentism is the fallacy you are looking for.

Humans have even changed their bodies since the middle ages. Menstrual periods are later. Maturity goes slower. People don’t die in 30 years.

Children having their parents die when they are 10 and get married at 20. Or children getting married at 10 and having their parents die at 20. All great choices which we don’t have to make and can moral high ground about.

I could ask why you think dating an 18 year old is fine but a 17 year old is not. Because modern research suggests the brain only finishes development at 25. But of course our sense of “morals” is solely based on arbitrary laws in < present time > in < present location >.

You are ascribing evolution to a society of warmongers committing Genocide on children in Palestine. A society addicted more to wealth than human suffering trying to lecture people on what correct morals are.

A society with an abundance of food where people are starving.

I would reconsider how correct the Wests morals are.

“You see, Ukraine is not a location because if the Russians kick out the Ukrainians and then rename it, it’s no longer called Ukraine. Because… the Russians currently don’t recognize Ukraine and that that means it doesn’t exist right now!”
