      It has nothing to do with it. It’s a straw-man argument. You could do the same kind of misdirection by comparing the number of US-related foreign conflicts under Trump vs Obama + Biden, and that wouldn’t prove anything either. The fact remains that a large portion of Kamala’s constituency wants an arms embargo and those people are being completely ignored.

      That you only care about the genocides the news tell you guys to, while ignoring the genocides your country committed and never making amends. It’s funny you guys trashed my country and murdered my people, now suddenly you’re moral grandstanding on me

          All I see is Americans being the world police and world moralists again, while the rest of us roll our eyes at you unapologetically murderous people. Clearly your comment shows you didn’t care about the shit you did to my people

              Just so you know, Goober is a slang term for an African peanut or a stupid black person. So way to show your true nature.

                Goober is a term for peanuts in general, it’s not specific to African peanuts. It can indeed be used colloquially to refer to a simpleton or silly person, but it doesn’t have any particular racial connotation.

                The only connection to Africa I could find is the etymology, as the word was borrowed from an African language. Considering 75% of English’s vocabulary (including swear words) is borrowed from other languages, I don’t think this is a particularly pertinent thing to take issue with. I mean, unless you have a source showing I’m wrong. No source I could find points to any racist connotation for the word “goober”.
