Funny how the lemmy liberals never believe that the US is the authoritarian country lol

In a thread where people are saying US is an authoritarian country: "wow they never say this"

[-] tgc2darkness@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

What they don't believe is that it has started decades before Trump

Really? I feel like I'm constantly seeing complaints about the US's growing authoritarianism.

I mean from the cadre of Anti-russia, Anti-china accounts who try and tell me I am a conspiracy theorist for thinking that the CIA is behind "all world events" despite talking about a specific event where the CIA actually overthrew the country I am from.

They didnt grow to it. Nobody just gave a shit before, because it wasnt against all skin colors.

It's not even about skin color, not really. It's about poverty and people not having a chance to get out of it. I would also commit crimes if I felt my life had no future and im white.

As a consequence, black people commit crimes and white cops become racist because they see that. But its not really about skin color if you look at the full picture.

I think this is misguided and a bit too optimistic. Racist cops don't become racist because of their lived experiences, they're already racist when they take the job.

Oh yeah racism in the US is not about skin color, brilliant take.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

It's about poverty, yeah. White people would act the same as black people if they lived in poverty. In fact, you see that happening in America too.

You have to give someone a chance in life or you end up with desperate people. I never understood the idea that poor people should just say no to crime when they have absolutely nothing to live for otherwise. That's crazy.

If you don't think racism is real and not at all based on race you are a literal fucking idiot. Try reading a fucking book whitey. Fanon, George Jackson, Malcom X. Take you pick, not sure you'll have the comprehension to understand.

I think I may be more intelligent then you actually... :)

Anyway, see you around.

[-] pelican476@discuss.online -3 points 20 hours ago
