First of all, not american, and me “mixing” them up is entirely another assumption of yours - which you are free to make, as I can’t control what you decide to think or how you interpret things, and that’s a-ok with me. I’m in fact considerably closer to Syria and Qatar.
Secondly, this rather seems a personal and touchy subject to you, as your willingness to insult, dismiss and assume (ironically) indicates. This is further reinforced by your posting history, which clearly tells me you’re a very combative person who loves to disagree for the pleasure of it, and doesn’t mind spending a lot of time trying to one-up others disagreeing with you in any way, I assume with ego as a driving force. So with that in mind, no real point in arguing with you, right? Even though it would seem we’re mostly aligned when it comes to the bigger picture.
So I hope whatever is going on gets better, but this is where I stop engaging in toxic rants, regardless of what you may think of me.
What nationality are you? Will you deny that: Qatar human rights are a significant concern, particularly regarding the treatment of migrant workers, who face exploitation, wage theft, and unsafe working conditions. Additionally, there are restrictions on freedom of expression, discrimination against women, and laws that criminalize homosexuality, which contribute to a challenging human rights environment. Is it any wonder Trump is accepting a gift from Qatar?
What? Where do I even hint that I would deny “Qatar’s human rights are of significant concern”? Or that I am surprised that Trump is accepting bribes?
My statements on this matter have pretty much been: Trump openly takes bribes -> Trump should be held accountable -> Regardless of where the bribe takes place or from who it comes. And one commenter starts derailing it because “Hurr durr Qatar and Syria are not the same place”, while another goes “why are you denying Qatar has a human rights problem”, both of which don’t even come near the point I was making. Can’t we just agree what Trump is doing is wrong and not look elsewhere for excuses to nitpick and create chaos? Are the internet points for having “good obvious opinions” really that important?
Literally nothing to do with defending wrongdoing from anywhere or trying to justify it- which is just twisting words to make them seem like something else and go from there to create needless drama - which in turn is why I ignored the other commenter in the first place.
Your downvotes mean nothing to me because I’ve seen what you upvote.
Like seriously, the fuck makes you think I care if you think I’m an asshole? 800+ upvoted this post, all of those 800+ people were pretty objectively wrong to do so and demonstrated that they’re completely unqualified to speak about foreign policy, so I’m not at all surprised to get ratio’d in the comments or get called an asshole for pointing out that they’re wrong. Genuinely, could not care less what any of those 800+ people think of me, this community has clearly demonstrated its ignorance and I’m not going to pretend otherwise and pull punches just to farm upvotes.
Like, y’all call al-Jolani “a known terrorist” and then think your insults still carry weight when you call me an asshole?
Not the least bit curious if you understood the person you were raging against. I saw that they probably meant something you didn’t understand and then they confirmed that. You’re a moron, not because you made a mistake, but because you have no doubts that you’re perfect.
To be insulted by you is a compliment, I’d be more concerned if you didn’t hate me.
Naturally, you will reach to any ridiculously generous interpretation to defend a member of your in-group against legitimate criticism by a member of of the outgroup. It’s fully expected.
This line of “um, acktually, I didn’t get them confused, I just meant something else” is something the other person came up with after I started attacking them for their blatant ignorance. When I first corrected them, their response was just to say “so what?” But there’s no point in trying to reason with a BlueMAGA tribalist such as yourself.

You’re one of those people who doesn’t understand what’s being said but is convinced they 100% do. YATAH here.

I didn’t read this but I feel that first line I accidentally read really hard. Get fucked, overconfident douchebag.
