It’s fun to come from a thread where they’re talking about how Americans jump to violence too fast and the context of that was us Americans telling Greenland to get the American oil drillers who are illegally going to start drilling there the fuck out by any means necessary. Love how we were getting told how American we were for jumping to that yet apparently US liberals are the ones that just hate violent language and are OK with violence. sure thing. It really just feels like anything bad or anything negative whatsoever gets blamed on America conveniently while all of your countries are in cahoots with it.
I propose an alternate reading of the situation: Sure, as "americans" (bourgeois proletarian subjects of pedo reich) we certainly are conditioned by our culture to be cavalier about violence, especially violence done to other peoples. But by the same token, that means we also know what other americans are like and what it takes to stop us.
Your advice to Greenland is correct and I would really recommend that you read Wretched of the Earth by Dr Franz Fanon, I think you will like it. And I agree that we should all blame Europe more for shitty things they do in collaboration with the US.
Death to Amerikkka
i love people making my job title their username for clout
i do, actually, because i have a soul. i see my white neighbors who can afford an infinitely better life than innocent men women and children being massacred daily in fucking tents and think "i would do anything to give those people what my neighbors can enjoy by sheer dint of luck of where they happen to have been born." it's actually a totally human instinct, you're just a piece of shit who can't empathize with people who don't look like you.
comments in that thread already said it better than i possibly could:
chauvinism is GOOD actually! - lemmy chauvinist
The fuck you talking about? We should stop criticising USians just because other global northerners are also shit?
Yes, yes they are. A huge amount of USian liberals don't care an inch about Palestinians as long as it's dems instead of reps in charge, for example. And then there's the obvious example I already gave that you can literally see daily on the internet.
Wow, I wonder why the empire that runs the capitalist world is blamed for most of the issues in said world.
Besides, as comrade diamath already pointed out, you're a racist, so fuck off and death to Amerikkka
if you think about it, Americans are the real victims and most oppressed group.
