I also share the principle of resenting unjust hierarchy which is why I lashed out at plankton for closing my thread.
Wait, Plankton is a mod now?

Huh. Guess I didn't realize that. Must've not been around much at the time.

military conflict is a symptom. Geopolitics is the virus. Military conflict doesn't just manifest randomly. There's always underlying geopolitical pressures that set the stage for a conflict to occur.

I wouldn't confound this with something as vague and incoherent as "geopolitical pressures" though. It can mean anything from "in order to prosper, Germans must carve vast territories to the east into their Lebensraum by ethnically cleansing and enslaving local populations, who they regard as biologically inferior" to "we need to renegotiate the terms of our access to this source of water."
what is incoherent about it? What term/lense of analysis would you use to describe the mounting tension between USA and Iran if not geopolitics?

It was a joke, libtard. I don't care if I hurt your feelings. This isn't a safe space. Warning, I speak my mind and don't care how it makes you feel. I'm not here to cater to snowflakes. I gotta big truck a lotta guns and one tiny penis. No trigger warnings from me, buddy.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
