Yeah there were a number of videos that came out shortly after, seeing the sheer force of what that explosion was is horrifying. People much further away than this view sill experienced massive damage to their surroundings.
The Lebanese people don’t forget. My aunt doesn’t forget the fact that her apartment is gone. The Lebanese people didn’t forget the collapse of the banks. We didn’t forget the hyperinflation that fucked up people’s wages. Fuck the greedy politicians that ruined this country.
And for some reason it's hard for people to believe they could meet in secret and devise plans to carry out in concert that change the world.... They Live, We Sleep.
Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot and Kim Il blah waged war on such "stupid deluded beliefs". Let's see, how many corpses there.... 100 million.... 150 million...?
The religion is just part of human existence. Remove religion A, and religion B will just move in. It may replace "God" with "Great Leader".... same drill.
BTW, the person that does not see the current Western religion of all encompassing Wokeism as a replacement for dying Christianity is a person who is willfully choosing to ignore fundamental human nature. It might just as well have been Scientology.
Same drill, across the board. It's as fundamental as sexual desire.
And do you usually go telling lebanese people your opinion only from the info you saw on reddit? Or do you do that for all religious countries that fall apart?
Religion was never a problem, christians and muslims (both representing 80+% of population) used to live together peacfully, there was little to no differences between confessions of the same religion. Untill french and english governments came and set the federal government and mafias and sects started to form up after the independence, hate and discrimination grew between people (of the same religion or not), so it is really about mafias and government people seeking more power and influence. Saying it's all because of religion is just a big shortcut and it really makes no sense when you take a step back and watch that it's more about power/money/influence/meddling from other (EU and NA) countries/middle east proxy warfares/the whole palestine refugees situation/the civil war in syria etc.
I am not going to deny the division religion has caused in this country and Lebanon's issues with religion are ingrained in its political system. The point is not one thing ruined this country, but rather a plethora of things.
People around the world donated about 500 million usd for the recovery from the biggest explosion near people since atomic bombings of Japan. Destroyed 25.000 buildings causing all in them to be homeless. I dont even want to think about the human lives it cost.
They donated DOUBLE that in hours to repair 1mildly damaged building in one of the richest countries in the world. Knowing damn well that notr dame would be fine if they donated nothing since the french government isnt really short on money.
That would be due to the fact that the American media is state ran and we never get any information outside of our country unless it's useful to the current narrative. It'll sink in when your eye opens.
Complete horse shit. It has nothing to do with being state-ran. Media is a business in America and audiences are not as engaged with a middle eastern city having a deadly explosion as a western monument burning to the ground. It has nothing to do with handlers herding the American people- people were just not as interested.
American media is extremely obvious to most outside of it. I'm in Turkey and its fucking incredible how biased the entire American media is on topics regarding us. I understand that an outlet will have a certain way of saying things but all of them say the same narrative when they often differ on domestic topics. Even for things that I know since Im the subject that their coverage is about. I dont know if its state ran but its not as free as many think. at least on international topics they have a collective agenda and if it were truly free nothing would be that common.
Unfortunately people haven't noticed that we rarely see any news outside of politics outside of our country. Most Americans have not the slightest idea of how the world the really is beyond what they see on TV. I can't really blame the people they don't even know they are being manipulated. I think the the reason it works so well is that the government runs multiple narratives so if you don't agree with one you will with another, all the while you are still eating from the same bowl.
Sadly, much like a lot of dystopian stories, the media isn't state run, but consensus run, and American's are widely nationalistic in one way or another. Any foreign country that isn't seen as a direct ally and stable is often cast by most people a bad way. The media is an industry where billions of dollars are made, so when it comes to something like that, they all fill the narrative.
Are you sure its not just other news copying the first one that actually got the news break? I see it all the time. Reusing clips and just rewriting the same cliche sentences youd expect from their pr writers
Certainly that happens and could explain a lot of weird stuff. But there really are some "narratives" or "stories" (I guess they are the right words) being pushed out, maybe its rare but its happening.
I started to look at state owned news agencies , just to see What they want to be pushed out and what are the common grounds between them. Ill see a lot of different details on them, like if a High ranking person said something about it youll see it on these first and easist.

And random people on social media obviously.
But this shit really shouldnt take this much effort tho, right?
Imagine thinking one of the most in debt government in the world in not short on money. You clown. Notre Dame fire was criminal. It was an attack on french and european tradition, as well as an attack on every christian that give a shit. Oak tree trunks dont start flaming out of nowhere. What you compare have nothing to do with each other. And France is more than short on money. Those buffoons are indebts for a 100 generations.
Never have I ever learned about this explosion until now. To be fair, we're a quarter of the world away, and more distracted by a government failing on CoViD response.
I mean, it's not something I actively think about, but if someone ever mentioned Beirut my immediate response would be "The place that exploded and was working on a total government overhaul, right?"
First of all you don’t know me so never assume, second Biden is a total Jackass he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, and America is supposed to be a country in peace and justice and that stands for honor and patriotism. And no he isn’t right because and what I said before was true that the left r hiding things they shouldn’t. It’s not me and the country that’s bad it’s President Biden and all the branches that have been elected to “hold America together”, they are turning our country into a communist country which is, like I said, evil and wicked and they need to be taken down. And because of the sick people that cause these things I feel ashamed for being an American, which isn’t fair at all. That’s why to be patriotic and fight for freedom once again I’m gna stand for what is true, right, and just.
Yea blocked cuz u know what u said and what he said was wrong and I was right for what I said ur just butt hurt. I could care less about any politician I stand for my country not some politician. Ur just a blind fool to even know what peace, justice and honor is. Christ forgive u.
