Mali and Burkina Faso banned Americans a few days ago. What with Maduro's kidnapping, it looks like that decision payed off in more ways than they might have anticipated!

No, it's asking an ant to stand up against a bunch of grasshoppers.

Hey brother, this is a fucking ML website correct? So imagine this shit...
MANY ANTS COOPERATE, to take on some grasshoppers.
Jesus fucking christ, american "leftists" are so pathetic.
I'm not sure who you are responding to.
Me or @corsicanguppy.
Corsicanguppy was asked to something.
Corsicanguppy was being defeatist.
I told him to be like the ant against the grassphopper.
You're saying that like ants, they should cooperate.
To that I say, right on! That's the spirit!
If you are so baffled as to why your big brain advice isn't helping then why don't you have the sense to meaningfully adjust your expectations?
I don't get what you mean? Do you mean I should adjust to celebrate when american "leftists" justify slaughter?
Is expecting "leftists" in america to organize is too much now?
Is my bar of expecting basic fucking human decency from americans too high?
Do you fucking hear yourself? Pathetic doesn't begin encapsulate it. The justifications you tell yourself and lie you are living sickens me.
Yeah, the self-flagellation, defeatism, and guilt are just the ego flaring up in response to reality contradicting the propagandized view of burgerland which we each must destroy in our own minds. None of the three are helpful, yet it seems to be all we have at the moment.
I'm intrigued by your comment, not sure if I totally grasp it.
But I want to add, we need to find a method to convert those things into action and organization.
I can realize within myself that I'm overly angry, but I do attribute that to constantly fighting american leftists over if the usa is bad or not. They fucking deprogram a bit to see "yeah maybe we should have healthcare", then parrot imperialist talking points or say heinous things.
It's like they freeze and react negatively when someone points our "actually america IS bad and worse than you are realizing", then its back to burgerland defense force somehow.
Maddening shit.
But the point is to realize the gravity and reality of the situation. Not to shit on any individual, but to understand the problems we must resolve. So conversion of the guilt, defeatism, and circlejerk MUST be converted into action.
Thats what I really want to get to but americans refuse to budge on the stupidest shit. I try not to give up but GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.
Yeah, I think I was just describing the negative reactions I see most often. I kinda tried to armchair psychoanalyze also.
Just revisiting the comment. Unnecessary defensiveness drives me crazy in all relationships, not just political discussions, so I totally understand your frustration
Americans won't save you. Get over it.
If you want to stay in the nursery and cry that no one will play pretend with you, then go ahead. I don't care.
I don't need americans to save me, and really dont know what the fuck you are talking about.
The problem is americans won't save themselves, or even help themselves. They just removed and moan and do nothing, Then they suffer while their government rapes the global south.
Great attitude you have too brother, glad to see it on display.
