I'm beginning to notice a pattern

This period of peace in Western Europe is pretty special and I would like to keep it that way, thx

This period of war in Eastern Europe is pretty shit and I would like Western Europe to take it more seriously, thx
- So you're saying we should invade Poland?
- By recognizing it's not winnable without full-scale NATO mobilization and therefore we should stop sabotaging peace talks and just get a deal done so we can stop throwing Ukranian men into the meat grinder?
- Don't worry, western Europe is doing its thing. It's electing fascists like Putin to create even more such wars. It's the preferred alternative to Socialism for neoliberals, conservatives and social-democrats anyway
- Western Europe getting involved could be so much worse.
  
  Let's remind ourselves you fight for your country, we on the other hand have nuclear weapons and rising fascism all over...
  
  So in account of humanity thanks for keeping Russia's shit out.
That's because the EU was created with the purpose of making an interconnected market where going to war is simply way too costly.

As the other commenter said, there is a war in Europe though.
- Ah but don't forget, we in the UK left the EU. Bo Jo already considered invading the Netherlands once.
This period of peace in Western Europe

France: "We haven't gone to war with Germany in decades!"

Me: "What about Libya?"

France: ...

Me: "Algeria? Argentina? Rwanda? The Ivory Coast? Somalia? Chad? Basque Country? Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia?"

France: sound of FAMAS F1 cocking
- Achtually the french army doesn't use FAMAS anymore and they replaced them with german made HK416.
  
  Not gonna argue about the rest though

American students every couple weeks

American Economics Professor: "We pulled ourselves out of the Great Depression by entering WW2"

American Economics Student: "I can't afford my car payment and my rent just doubled. When can we re-invade the South Pacific?"
- And nothing to do with those pesky socialist reforms of the new deal. No this social reforms ruined everything! Must kill for equity!
I wish. Our students are kittens compared to European students. The police are going to riot anyways, stop bringing the kid's gloves.

Just europe?

Yes, we have decades between (direct involvement in) wars!!
We didn't even spend actual money on war stuff the last few decades.

But we sure are gonna do it now, we need to protect our drinking water (for the coming water wars) and update our firewalls (for the coming Skynet wars).

in the US we call that 9th grade

You misspelled "capitalists".

Everyone in Europe killing each other every generation predates capitalism. Capitalism did increase the scale though; after the fall of the western roman empire, we didn't see armies of that size until Napoleon managed to draft a million men in a country of 30 million.
- Perhaps you would prefer "the ruling class"?
- Lmfao, sorry (not sorry), I should have included feudalists too I guess, to avoid bootlicking pedants.. 🙄
  
  The point stands - war is waged for profit by profiteers, not by random civilians trying to live their lives, always was, always will be.
don't worry, the soviets joined ww2 as well
- Yep, and beat the Nazis.
- If by "joined WW2", do you mean "got refused from any military alliances with England, France and Poland despite a decade of trying in an attempt to unify Europe against Hitler"? Or do you mean "getting invaded by the Nazis and losing 25+mn people in the process of eliminating Nazism from Europe"?
- He already said capitalists, state capitalism is still capitalism, no matter if you call it communism.
- Lol, you mean the state capitalists? You're not making the (weak, "whatabout") point you think you are, but hey, your confidence in your wilful ignorance in defence of those exploiting you for profit* is almost impressive! (but not really) 🙄😂
  
  *E: and guess what, I don't even need to know where you live to say this, because every working class person on the planet is currently being exploited for profit through both labour and war, but don't let that get in the way of the bootlicking you've come here to do in self-destructive defence of your beloved capitalism (I threw up in my mouth a little)...

Humanity every few months

Humanity is not intrinsically violent to this scale.

The Purge.

The US constantly:

Yeah but at least we limit ours to small scale atrocities committed by civilians, and not all-out civil war. And proxy wars. And not-a-war-wars. And helping others with their own ~~wars~~ genocides.

Fuck. Nevermind I guess.

It usually involves trying to start some shit with Russia.

Falschrum Brüder

All the nazi-voting retards don't, however.

That's how you keep practice

It's "Europe every couple of decades", you semi-literate gaping baboon

It's US English I think ..

The other one that I notice is "write your representative", instead of "write to your representative"
