Plastic containers don’t need to be melted down and remade into anything; they can be cleaned and reused. But we just throw them away, or send them to be recycled immediately, and still consume more; completely ignoring the first two R’s.

Except a plastic bottle start leaking cancerous shit after a week or so iirc

Then we agree. Russia and Israel are bad and the west is bad for supporting the later while buying oil from the Saudi and their hamas-supporting muslims brotherhood..

It's not politically complex. One side have more UN condemnation than freaking North Korea.

Russia can stop whenever they want and Putin has stated he believes that land to be his right.

So did Netanyahu.

There is no hate in saying this is r-worded good old trickle down theory that have been disproved times and times again. Basic economics is like basic biology. Simplistic.

Seriously, I spent 15 minutes watching this crap. I'll never get them back. This is just cruel.

EDIT: the best part is when it stops.

Yeah sorry, it tickles me to see a meme making fun of non-white countries for being unevolved. Sounds like a white f-word to me ;)

Either the average Russian is responsible for changing their country or the average American is not. You don’t get both.

Yes, exactly, none of them are.

Again, it’s possible to say that what the US did was wrong and still understand that what Russia is doing is also wrong.

What the Russian government is doing is wrong, absolutely. It's not a reason to fall into jingoism and stupid stereotypes.

Bringing the “whatabout” argument at this point is deliberate deflection if you understand that you’re arguing with someone who agrees with you.

But the map is literally placing France and the US in "the good guys". Whataboutism is when you bring out things out of the blue that aren't being disgusted already.

Of course, it’s all speculation, and obviously capitalism plays a role, I’m just not convinced it’s as significant as the role social media plays alone.

Don't you think those companies have incentive to push for things that provoke outrage, and thus engagement? Imho endless political debates are not the expression of democratic feelings. They are just the way they keep you on the platform for ads.
