“I think Western institutions and media are not being entirely honest about their geopolitical opinions” is not like the phrasing I see from hexbear users out in the wild.

What you see is the logical conclusion of when you step back and realize that people are always supporting this year’s war drive and claiming last year’s war drive is ancient history and all in the past.

You say that like a whole lot of us didn’t have that realization decades ago.

No experience is universal and your logical conclusion won’t be the same for everyone.

Even if it were by throwing something aggressive in the face of someone who isn’t even on the same road you’re just going to come off as an ass. You drive others deeper into their position rather than getting anywhere productive. Which you may not care about on the surface, but then I’d argue you’re just pushing a different war drive.

You drive others deeper into their position

You say that like they haven’t held that position through multiple farcical wars.

I’m not the one driving them deeper into their position. They have chosen to do so themselves. Which is why they are more concerned about my civility than the millions starved and killed in the name of the rules based international order.

You say that like your know their level of concern or activity in regards to those.

Consider someone starting to consider view points beyond how they were raised. Are they more or less likely to go toward someone with inflammatory rhetoric? The concept of a pipeline is hardly a new one.

Believe it or not the world isn’t divisible into two camps. Why would you not encourage people to flow towards a direction that should be inviting?
