There are also yankistanis going out there and calling ICE on their neighbors and openly threatening people of color with calling ICE on them, when they have any disagreement, so can we call all of yankistan racist or "that's not how it works" now?

I totally agree that the US has had inflated self-worth and has been on the shittier side of shitty for decades. I agree that out government has proven useless, broken, corrupt, etc. But you4 getting into real heavy bigotry territory there.

I do not suggest anyone speak well of the US, and all should rightfully shit on out state of affairs. But, I would hope that any single person is never immediately and fully judged by where they happened to be born. Using terms like yankistan sounds a lot like the words of bigotry I was raised around made for "other" folks, in the good 'ol christian midwest deep red states. And look where that's led us.

I just call it the banana republic.
Or the US regime.
Anyway it's (since forever) cancer to the world.
No matter which side of your uniparty working for the same oligarchs is in charge.
This has nothing to do with bigotry but centuries of facts. Just bcs one of your sides now gets a little taste of what you constantly do to the world isn't going to get you sympathy.

No one said to give us sympathy. Those terms refer to the country and or government, not the individual people from there.

I grew up with people comfortable with terms for Italians, Irish, Polish, et. al., that were actually derogatory slurs. That part I am not ok with, for anyone, from anywhere.

TF are you even trying to say?
Do you feel offended someone called it ameristan or whatever? Stop being a snowflake.
The world has real problems, mostly as a result from ruthless US policies, and there the american goes to play the victim, as if they are the center of the universe. Typical. Almost as bad as israeli

No, that isn’t how it works anywhere, and definitely isn’t how you build solidarity. You’re just spewing toxic divisive bullshit.

LOL if they knew they would be taking punches they wouldn't be there.
All they do is have a little stroll or interpretative dance.
They're not France or any self-respecting population.
And this lukewark whining is not for 'their neighbours' whoever you mean by that but for themselves.
They want to go back to brunch when there were kids in democratic cages, murderous police killing minorities and plenty more scumbaggery.
That didn't bother them.
Hypocrisy is the most american thing ever.

You act like you don't want this to be happening at the same time you're shitting on the people doing the most to try to stop what's happening. It doesn't make sense.

If they pulled the ice agents off, stripped them, made a more of their tattoos and home addresses, then obly released them in trade for hundreds of ice detainees, this wouldn't ever happen again.

Instead they're posting about it.

Far be it from me to impugn the revolutionary potential of the noble poster, but I'm not sure we can manage alone. You may need to put on pants at some point. Maybe even shoes.

This is the shit that makes me so fucking mad about shitlibs.

We are at war. They are occupying our cities and killing our neighbors. but god forbid you even think about actually fighting back. "no don't do retaliatory violence against the people killing you, they'll start killing more people!"

cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 300d

Not even violence. Just 'pull them off that guy and punish their objective of imprisoning people'.

Bloomcole@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 300d

They are doing absolutely nothing effective.
It's pathetic even, americans are so deluded, always pretending they would be warriors to defend their super duper freedoms and democracy, in reality they are pacified weak and/or apathic.
no country in the world would take what happens.
Not even the way it was before.
If Europeans would suddenly have as little rights, healthcare, paid sick days, murderous authoritarian cops etc, ther would be blood in the streets.

And why wouldn't it make sense that I enjoy the US getting some karma?
Just bcs nobody likes Trump don't expect sympathy from the rest of the world.

You are a fool. Democratic cages? Okay Commrade Cunt. Most people in those situations understand violence is an option on the side of their oppressors, but they aren't afraid of it. No one wants to get hurt, but they are putting themselves in the line of fire because it's the right thing to do, not because they think they are invincible. Grow a spine and get off your couch. Go touch some grass.

I don't attend protests because being attacked by a group while people I thought were my friends stand back and watch is triggering to me.

And also because protests amount to begging if you aren't towing an artillery piece behind your car, and I don't even have a car, so...

LOL lib can't face reality and goes mask off ugly american with vile insults out of frustration.
And what? forgot about fascist-lite party genocide Joe who massively put kids in cages? You demented too? And the rest of your BS rant is dumb AF.
haha, enjoy Trump. You all deserve him. I hope he does the worst with you pretentious hypocrites and your shithole country. I'll have a laugh seeing you go to hell where you belong

@technocrit This is just....we need a single class society. We need to dismantle the ruling class and actually set up cities, states and countries that are actually of thepeople, by the people, for the people.

This depravity cannot continue.
