    Iran is fighting for freedom. Americans are fighting for escapism and greed. The Western world lost its truth and meaning, and has detached from the honest story of Mankind.

      Sorry, when did the Western world have its truth and meaning? While doing everything it could to destroy free black people in South Africa and the USA? When it was commiting genocides in Australia and the Americas? When it cutting the hands off of Africans? When it was starving Bengal? When it was funneling money and technology to the Third Reich? When is was saving 10k Nazis from justice? When it was inventing race science to justify turning slaving adventures into a multi-century massive business? When the US founding fathers were raping their slaves and selling the babies? When Jefferson was trying to end the transatlantic slave trade so he could charge a higher price for the slaves from his domestic breeding plantations? When the French levied a massive debt on the Haitians for freeing themselves so that they could pay reparations to the former slave owners for their loss of property? When we we’re forcing indigenous peoples to mine silver so we could trade with the Chinese and then realized that opium was so addictive and became the world’s largest and longest running drug dealers and then sacked China and stole its port cities when they decided to ban opium? When we were trafficking black and indigenous girls all over the West to serve as sex slaves? When the Western European empire spread to cover 80% of the world’s people? Before that maybe? The Crusades? The Holy Roman Empire and the pogroms across Europe against Jews and pagans?

      When exactly did the West have truth and meaning other than pure unadulterated ultraviolence in the name of dominance, greed, and depravity?
