#write what does the m23 militia want?

the m23 militia wants greater autonomy and political representation for the banyamulenge (congolese tutsi) community in eastern drc. they’re also pushing back against gov't forces and rival armed groups, claiming issues like marginalization and insecurity. plus, there are allegations of backing by rwanda, which rwanda denies. conflict’s messy with lots of agendas tangled in. what does the m23 militia want?

would the warlord help me put an air conditioner in
would he let me have a sodie pop

if one is sexing a warlord then surely they would allow you to have a measly sodey pop

>>389979
I heard they were kinda corrupt and tortury too :< but sometimes you only have so many options. why can’t these people just officially give themselves more compensation?

>>389984
he would see me diminish my health
no deal

>>389987
you are responsible for the maintenance of your own health... he is a lord or war, not of your body....

>>390022
hey I used to use that trackball in the top right corner, however the right mouse button wore out on it. I'm left handed so I have the mouse buttons switched & I'm pretty sure they made the right mouse button not as durable as the left thinking that the avg user doesn't use the right mouse as much as the left.

>>390022
i THOUGHT YOU MEANT REAL MICE
this is the most /g/ core collage of mice ive ever seen ive owned like 7 of these

>>390011
I mean if you destabilize it into something more stable and better that’s good but yeah.. idk just make them intermarry and end the tribes and have fairly equal society and safe economy yeah?

>>390027

>>390026

wassup homies

>>390055

>>390061
it has and usually it’s the majority group wiping out the minority but I really don’t see how shit is supposed to work with everyone being in rival groups which hate each other. even if you have a time of peace, eventually a conflict crops up

.play bmsr just for the night

>>390075
mod.. pokeball go

>>390072
people won't like this answer, but i think what works is slow unification over - sorry, i was interrupted haha - time. culture sort of melting together, like it did in western europe.

>>390078
I think this is actually true but you have to keep the momentum up, making sure every year intermarriage is increasing, tribes are growing less relevant

>>390082
i think it's like with the dao. you can only grasp it by letting go. if you try to force it people resist. if you make peace and let cultures penetrate each other, they are unified without really noticing. the US conquered the world by sending video tapes everywhere.

mmm you have to replace those identities with a new one, not just fight the old ones

well it's like. the danish and the french are still separate, culturally, but they're no longer fighting wars and are actually pretty similar haha. i think petty tribalism is fine as long as you have enough similarity that fighting isn't really attractive.

>>390067
this stuff shouldn’t be profitable. there should be a way to generally make sure you have to benefit the places you trade with, like you pay more taxes if they get worse or something to a global body

>>390089
the funny thing is their cultures are super similar today, they just won’t admit it, but then weren’t cultures similar in the midelvil age too and they had plenty of wars? maybe it’s more the contact/ trade. I guess Russians are pretty similar to us westerners and there’s the war now more caused by leadership than some ethnic clash

>>390095
oh yeah france and denmark are totally similar in a lot of ways. i think a key part is that they share core beliefs. whereas with the russians, the state-sanctioned media spreads many ideas that are not compatible with what western european media tends to teach. don't get me wrong, there's still propaganda, france denies being a colonial power etc, but there is basic agreement on the ground rules, if that makes sense.

>>390090
yeah about drastic action. it’s just that it’s hard to see thing changing, and drastic action kinda worked for meiji Japan, but usually it doesn’t.
I think the problem isn’t the specific strongmen themselves though but the power base which results in strongmen who do a bad job.

I seem to hear that too idk what needs to change really. I’m not sure for instance if m23 is right. it seems fucked when your group can’t just leave, but also when your state just gets split up

that’s really bad : ( I really hope they can leave. can’t people get like family unification visas and stuff in the USA? I always hear about certain groups of immigrants managing to bring over their whole families

>>390156
they're pretty old now and i think they want to stay. it's sad but they're really patriortic and support putin. they think ukraine is at fault.

>>390157
heehoo

>>390141
I’m a little surprised no one just genocided all the natives and kept all the mines and such for themselves and stayed rich… I guess that was the americans/spanish and the colonials still left because why send money to some random country huh

>>390143
hope it’s good!

>one big ant crawled on laptop
this can't be a good sign

>>390158
sigh this kinda stuff worries me they might be right. like it’s not like there’s an actual plan to make their lives better if Russia loses that’s reliable, and like with m23 there isn’t some plan to make those people in the ethnic group thrive I don’t think.

>>390172
fwiw i live in a country that has chosen to remain neutral in the conflict for political reasons and the media very much did cast russia as the aggressor, so i don't think it's all just western propaganda. obviously the local media can't totally be trusted either but yeah. i think it's pretty established it's a war of conquest.

>>390176

>>390177
I don’t either but I don’t like how there isn’t like some compass to follow that always makes the world better and people can concede defeat to and say ‘wel li guess you were right in the end.’

>>390186
it's tough. being a good person is tough in general. so i get it. idk. you know what cheers me up, though? natural selection. the world is filled with fucked up little bugs that kill each other in horrible ways, just ruthless adaptation, and yet the creature at the very top is compassionate. the most compassionate in relation to all other animals. and what's more, despite the best efforts of dictators and lords and conquerors, human societies have slowly drifted toward greater understanding and freedom across the ages.

i think that on some level, on the long term, goodness is optimal.

>>390166
mmmm gotta go slow.

just like with the domestic ethnic group conflicts

>>390177
yeah I think it is too. I guess I would even support it if Russia was a really nice country and though the powerful Ukrainians maybe lose power, most are better off, but that is the opposite of the case.

>>390195
still sad they saw it this way. : (
and like that people in Donbas do seem to be different from those in west ukraine and idk it’s the whole ethnic thing again

>>390185
oooh

>>390204
go get em : )

>>390203
>Ukraine didn't have a cogent national identity until Russia went balls deep.
my anecdotes obv don't beat your data or whatevs, but here's one: my mother grew up in the soviet union. when it collapsed she heard from several people she knew that as the soviets retreated the ukrainians displayed EXTREME hostility to the remaining russians and spitefully refused to accept their currency. it sounded like there was something there, at least back then.

>>390189
sad : ( I heard this too with Putin killing that Donbas leader in like 2016 or smth

>>390202
see but was it necessary? the big modern states where you can travel 300 miles safely come from cracking down on minority groups. like in the USA how people will be ‘tee hee I’m polish American’ but I don’t know if it’s even legal to restrict a community to an ethnic group, I don’t think it is, so they end up really being mixed

>>390214
big

>>390218
yeah fair

tbh i spent my whole life thinking nationalism was dumb until i watched a documentary about greenland's colonial period and it sort of hit that sometimes the people trying to preserve their culture are just natives being erased. in that moment i saw the appeal. the problem is erasing other cultures, not taking pride in your own.

>>390211
I think this is kinda sad. if the Ukrainians are better than the Russians they really should be trying to replace them, and conquer them, and if not, I wish they could simply mix and live as friends. I also worry about tolerance in case one culture is better than another, and even that doesn’t excuse me fighting for my own, because you don’t know yours is the good one, and are liable to be tricked

>>390228
yeah i won't pretend to be a scholar or whatever. you seem very knowledgable though.

>>390230
yeah fair. i know a little bit but not as much.

>>390215
idk the muslims and those pagan Russian nazis that sacrificed that Muslim soldier and their leader got caught recently are fighting together for Russia, I just don’t know if that’s really like a sign of a strong united russia

>politics
>on the politics website
how could this be happening!!!!!

>>390225
have you heard of the imperial boomerang?

>>390238
places going bad when empire goes away?

>>390239
it's related, but the opposite. the idea goes like this: in order to justify the colonialization of a foreign culture, you need to instill an ideology in your own people that allows them to justify it. the idea that some people are better than others and so deserve to exert force in order to rule them. that belief is the seed of fascism. as an empire conquers without, it slowly erodes from within, until the very ideology that was required to form it turns on itself, like a cancer.

for this reason, i do not think a better culture can conquer and replace a "lesser" one, because to do this is to inherently also be "lesser"

>>390237
i cant believe this

>>390223
promoting your own decreases others. people only have so much mental space

>>390249

>>390241
ikr. I feel really sketchy with it and not willing to sacrifice for it but the nice countries like finnland and Sweden are these medium sized ethnic enclaves with common religions. and the baltics got better too i think after Soviet Union

>>390240
it’s the same phenomena right though? groups fighting together and common identity and sometimes being stable and sometimes bad

>>390242
mmmmmn I think clearly some ARE lesser but I don’t see really sustainable ways to replace them yeah because of the fascist purity spiral

>>390269
good job thats a passing grade !!!

it just sucks not having my own ethnic group to have a nation state with I guess. and my friends who are other ethnic groups and we can never build anything or have a country we can all live in unless I guess we kill a bunch of people and interbreed and start our own national people but fat chance lol

ya know this makes me think of other ‘better than others’ groups as well, universities, religions, which all exerted power and seemed to be better, but eventually fell. is there anything long lived that can thrive and expand to outsiders? I guess Christianity did /islam /buddhism /communist ideals if not government

thanks for explaining. another question, if you don't mind. what is like the canonical answer to the labor aristocracy issue? e.g. some union sitting on valuable natural resources and using its greater influence to recreate a society with distinct classes.
