Givesomefucks

Nah, continuing a task while trying to process something like this is something the vast majority of humans would do.

I remember a common repost on reddit. A female reporter in the 60s asked businessmen on the street about sexual harassment and if it was ok to touch their secretaries. The ones that would say it was ok shed start sexually harassing them and they had no fucking clue what to do.

They reacted the same way, trying to continue the interview but obviously uncomfortable (even tho they had just been flirting with the attractive reporter).

I'm a guy (a pretty big guy at that) and I've had women grope me out of nowhere during my bar days. It's a mindfuck, and you just kind of go on autopilot while you try to rationalize what's happening.

The woman's reaction in this video is completely normal.

Not to mention they forgot the leaders of those African countries who make deals that give them personal wealth at the expense of their people.

In some cases 1st world countries have installed those leaders, but that's not really that common.

And the citizens can't overthrow them their selves, and the other countries who are benefitting have no incentive to "spread democracy" even if they actually mean it this time.

No, I'm saying it's stupid to blame the people of a country for what their monarchies were doing...

It's not the fault of "the English" it's the fault of the guy who was King at the time.

Be pissed all you want, we all should be.

Just be pissed at the people who are actually the problem.

But that's probably too much to ask of someone unironically using a fucking clown emoji

You should read that

If you actually think England would have honored those treaties to stop expanding tho...

Surprise! They'd have broken them just like America made and broke them.

Which would have been great...

If your comment made anymore sense.

OPs is just a stupid meme tho, they were making a joke. You tried to correct them but you don't even know what you're talking about.

Do you think the country got together to workshop this meme?

Or do you think a teenager who's still in highschool and might even know less than you made it?

No, America got their independence because the wealthiest didn't want to pay tax to England.

And I seriously doubt the Crown wanted them to stop expanding or treat the natives better before that.

Pretty much everywhere was founded on colonial genocide...

It's just how recent it happened.

Like, you're giving America shit for what the English, Spanish, and other countries did before America even existed. But it's hard to really blame even the English. It was the English people doing it, it was their royalty who were French.

For the vast amount of human history, some random group you may never have even heard about could just roll up and conquer you and take all your shit.

In general, any multimillionaire that gets off of a serious charge doesn't mean they're innocent.

It just another example of having ridiculous amounts of money in our legal system means it's really hard to be hel accountable.

Hell, trump got off of beating and raping his wife, because of an old ass New York law that said a husband can't rape his wife under any circumstance.

People can be upset at wealth inequality and the raise of fascism...

It's not even that unique of a combo, pretty much everyone I know is pissed at both situations.

Why do you think someone can only care about one?

Lupe something.

And he wasnt convicted, but was going to. The state had a "medical expert" show up and testify that there was no way an adult woman could look like that. Just 100% sure of himself and smug as fuck about it.

Then the defense called the pornstar to the stand and she was in her late 20s or something and working in the industry for over a decade.

It was something that never should have made it to trial, and gets used a lot as an example for how shit expert testimony can be. The prosecution doesn't try to find the person who knows the most, they find whoever can do the best job of convincing a jury that the prosecution is right. So the people who do it (some are professional "expert witnesses") are just the most overconfident people. Even if they're not sure, they play it up that there can't be any doubt.
