    Before you do america too

    Yes this is the obvious cognitive dissonance that arises from my question. The US has invaded and bombed countries, couped countries, plunged millions into poverty and death, consistently for decades. Buy I don’t see any if you saying, “Fuck America” and trying to kick all Americans out of your spaces.

    The US is backing Israel’s genocide to the hilt righy now. It would not happen without American support that Israel depends on. And most European countries are backseat supporters if that agenda. Where is your bleating for villification of every person from all those countries?

    Decent part of america was not larping the war either.

    Which war? There have been so many US-bscked wars in recent years that I have no idea which one you would be referring to.

    But I am confused about the qualifier. Who had said anything about larping? This is collective punishment and chauvinism against all Russians.

    It is shameful what we did in middle east for israels benefit.

    Can I get a “Fuck America”?

    Hopefully never again but who are we kidding…

    Not just never again, it is happening right now, under Dems, with support of their candidates that is part of the admin doing genocide. Every pro-Harris post on this site is a tacit endorsement. Should we ban them?

      Fediserve is US centric platform, nobody going to be saying fuck America.

      However, the sentiment here is pretty strong against the current situation both socio-economics wise and support for Israel… I don’ think this a mainstream opinion quite there yet but people getting wiser on these issues.

      I meant decent part of US population did not larp ME wars in early 2000s.

        You should be if you respect your own thoughts that you are sharing.

        Really, you are tacitly aknowledging what this really is: national chauvinism and Russophobia. Liberals taking their opportunity to be racist and xenophobic without being singled out as problematic.

        However, the sentiment here is pretty strong against the current situation both socio-economics wise and support for Israel…

        It is below the bare minimum, it is just slightly less jingoistic than in spaces curated by monopolies and staffed with literal feds. Pro-genocide discourse is strong here, it just hides behind electoralism discourse and feigned reluctance.

        I don’ think this a mainstream opinion quite there yet but people getting wiser on these issues.

        It won’t be a mainstream opinion in US-centric spaces without political education of such people.

        I meant decent part of US population did not larp ME wars in early 2000s.

        It was a very small part of it, really. Liberals rewrote their histories about their support for wars of aggression against Iraq and Afghanistan. They pretend to have been against it when they were actually part of their version of the “silent majority” and rampant islamophobia. The protests rapidly ran out of steam as Americans don’t even know how to fight against their state.

        They keep bringing up how small the protests were and how they “ran out of steam” or w/e. It really shows how little they actually know about the US.

          The protests against the War on Iraq represented a small percentage of the US population and ran out of steam in a few weeks.

              These are just basic facts about what happened. Liberals went home pretty quickly.

              Just like how they did a pink hat protest, i.e. police-sanctioned march, and then went home for years.
