WWIII isn't starting, NATO doesn't give a fuck about Iran and Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon either. Calm down libs.

    Roe v Wade will never change, calm down libs. The climate isn't changing, calm down libs. Project 2025 isn't real, calm down libs. Our economy will get better, calm down libs. Our government will follow the law, not break every law so fast the courts can't keep up, calm down libs. Maybe, just maybe, instead of just acting so blaise and dismissive over Liberal thoughts and opinions, and attempting to perpetuate this stupid game of "owning the libs" you actually listen and think critically. Liberals may not have all the answers, and maybe their beliefs don't fully align with yours, but this country used to operate on a few core ethics and beliefs, but saying "calm down libs" like it's a goddamn video game and keeping score is just putting us further into a shithole. So use your head, come up with some formal argument and supporting statements, and stop playing the fucking game and use your brain to fix the machine instead (or at the very least, step aside, drop the pompoms and stop playing cheerleader for the people who keep fucking shit up).

    You seem to think I'm a conservative when it's really the absolute opposite. This is where "vote blue no matter who" gets us. It gets us the absolute worst neo-conservative candidates running as liberals. Kamala decided to move further right and it lost her the election and instead of blaming the politicians y'all seem to think you need to blame everyone else instead of the DNC for running genocide supporting candidates because they're deepthroating AIPAC money like it's a national sport.

    It's sort of like a pre-emptive exaggeration. It's definitely possible WWIII starts with this. Ukraine, Trade War, Iran, then Taiwan and India-Pakistan. There is a non-zero chance it will escalate without stopping.

    But by making fun of this "hysterical overreaction" now you prevent any serious anti-war opposition from gaining ground. At least that is what the psychological effect of this is: calming down the libs.

    I mean, I doubt many people thought that a failed and then successful attempt on Ferdinand would result in thousands of men playing with new killing machines against dated formation ranks but it ended up there regardless (WW2 was gonna happen, and everyone knew it, it was just a matter of when)

    I don't know enough history of WWI but it certainly feels like this to me. Like the climate wars have started, but everyone is being gaslit into thinking it's just this or that reason or bad guy.

    You can just feel this tension in the zeitgeist, like "oooh these liberal cucks don't want us to nuuuuke someone, oh no, they'd really get soooo maaaad about nuking a little, would really be a shaaaaame hahaha"

    Like if you'd make a referendum on whether or not to sell a few nukes to Ukraine, it would totally go through.

    The long and short of WW1 was a bunch of inbred cousin monarchs were bickering about territories during the height of colonialism, and factioned up. One thought another country killed one of their Dukes, they denied it, were attacked anyhow, and then a barfight turned into a brawl, with the peons of each country being run into grinding machines (automatic machine guns were brand new and at the time old school block and line formations were still the normal way to group up and fight. So yeah, hundreds killed in seconds). After a few hundred thousand were dead from all over the world, the inbred officers realized war strategy had to change, and no one really knew wtf to do for awhile. More died, disease spread and killed even more, and eventually almost all blame fell to Germany (which was new and formed from various countries), and Germany got kinda punished unfairly, resulting in WW2 as Germans felt like they were punished so unfairly everyone else should pay. Very short version. Also Israel was formed at this time based on a whole shitload of reasons, that can be summed up with the British being narcissistic and doing whatever they thought was best while ignoring the political/religious minefield of their actions.
