You listed three countries, dude. Tell me what colonies they currently have?

What about the rest of the world? For example China or Russia? Why exactly do they have less colonies?

Do you think the US is the entire west?

Do you think non western countries care more about casualties?

Your stupid meme just makes my point more stand out that you have all your knowledge from memes

Incredibly ignorant and uninformed take lmao

Still miles ahead of the rest

I think you make an interesting point and got me thinking, didn’t want to come of as standoffish or something.

I just think science pointing at faith loses the nuance between the assumption that a working theory is currently correct and the deep belief in dogma. Technically you could call both faith, but they are very different.

As you pointed out science deals with unknowns and sometimes there’s not even a theory. Faith has historically been one of the primary ways to deal with any kinds of unknowns, of course, but it’s not the only one.

I agree that being a scientist and being faithful isn’t a contradiction. I feel like science is a very broad term and certain disciplines might be more or less inclined to be religious though.

Cool story bro

Palestine removes Hamas == war stops

That easy

There’s a difference between working with the latest and most probable hypothesis under the assumption that it could be wrong and faith in a religious sense.

Faith and dogma leave no shred of doubt that they’re right. Science acknowledges that it could be completely wrong but we have no further data to replace at this point in time.

Israel has been there for decades without being at war with Palestine and there was no peace.

I don’t know what they have been doing with their influence to this point then.

Who cares? Saudis are a fundamentalist theocracy built on oil money

I could understand this post if it wasn’t very glaringly obviously where the money was going.

Which is the war happening in front of all our eyes. And probably the most well documented war in human history.

Lmao that has worked very well in the past

I don’t think it makes that much of a difference tbh.

Both Iraq and Afghanistan struggled with terrorism and extremism during and after the occupation.

The protests are largely carried by Muslim immigrants or their children though.

Fighting unlawful combatants is one of the hardest thing in war and has arguably never been solved completely.

So, yeah, there’s not really lots of clear cut alternatives.

What an ignorant take. Radical Islam existed long before the US went there. Salafism and Wahhabism have been around for more then century at this point, to name two of several fundamentalist movements.

Muslims have been infighting with fundamentalists and more secular members of Islam for centuries.

The US surely didn’t help, but they are so, so far from being the sole or main cause for the turmoil in Afghanistan and the middle east in general.

What? This country didn’t allow education for women long before the US ever set foot there

If that is the best argument you can come up with you should probably take a look at your stance
