@lucasmz @lizzy Maybe? I think its a little too ambiguous. For example, the first sentence could be used to blow up all all the civilization clash rethorics that has been used since the end of the cold war to justify invasions, but at the same time, it could be used too to deny its importance in the present context when its clearly a thing.

@lizzy While the direct comparisons of the government is definitely a shitty comparison currently, I think the major point that neither government actually cares for its people, and the difference between state officials and civilians is typically larger than between civilians of different countries.

I kinda took it as discouraging anyone from ever supporting a war of aggression (the US and Israel being the aggressors in the current context), because the reasons your government has given you to hate the people they're killing are definitely untrue.
