The amount of depravity I've seen these last couple days from libs, ostensibly dem voters, defending trumps terror attacks is jokerfying

There’s no way to know if they even are an Iranian gusano, but nothing in their post history suggests so. On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.

Same diff tbh, I have a venezuelan neighbor stanning machado and she sounds exactly like that. Completely clueless people.

Then there are those whose salary depends upon them having these opinions, like the hair lady.

Sure but I don't care about these people. They are in a straight forward transaction. They're selling out their country and they know why. To the pit with them, they evoke no emotion. But the people that give up so much in their beautiful home countries full of life to come here and sit in an office during the long and cold winter days, because they bought the propaganda? They fill me with sadness.

It's disgusting. I hate that diaspora people think they have a right to speak over people living back home who are actually being bombed.

Diaspora people want to be part of white culture and therefore take on the mannerisms. This necessarily includes the belief in and obedience to white institutions. It's a sad thing to see.

To be absolutely clear I'm not talking about migrants in general here, this is a tiny fraction of all the migrants to the empire and it's court.

i mean i lived with an iranian refugee in college. i don't doubt his response would be similar. his stories were brutal. i also don't doubt his response is not the same as the average iranian citizen

Cognitive dissonance? The European and especially their settler counterpart's beliefs are quite consistent when it comes to pillaging from, plundering from and preventing true independence of Global South countries.
