    “The Trump Administration” is a terrorist state. You’re blaming the wrong people if you think the citizens who march in the streets everyday against this villainy are the perpetrators of this violence. Be better, please.

      Oh please average Americans have been openly calling for this for decades and celebrated when they finally did it. Your crocodile tears fool no one and you’re only protesting now because the current administration was a little mean to white Americans as well, you never gave a shit about what Americans did to anyone else, not now, not ever. Before this was y’all celebrating the “liberation” of Venezuela, Iraq, the Banana Republics, and on and on and on. You brush aside any civilian casualties with a handwavy “well I for one didn’t want that to happen” and then pretend everyone else criticising you on it are the problem, yet you keep cheering on the military strikes for regime changes themselves as if they’re separate isolated things. Even now you’re more concerned with how people criticising Americans need to “be better” for how they phrase their criticisms because it’s apparently a worse crime to hurt your feelings.

      Fuck America and fuck Americans.

      A drastic increase in military funds to Israel took place during the terrorist Biden regime:

            Many of us are fighting against this regime

            There are more employees of ICE than activist opponents of the American regime

              That is not in any way a counter to “Many of us are fighting against this regime” sorry. You won’t be taking our work away from us. It’s killing some of us.

                    They mean that you talk big about “our work” as activists, all while you’re here spending your time and a not insignificant amount of your energy posting about a non-issue.

                    Look, I’m going to level with you here under the assumption your heart is in the right place and that you really do do some actual activism. First of all, you’re making this shit about you in a post detailing the mass murder of school children. You (when not posting cringe on lemmy) are really in the streets protesting against the murderous, imperialist, genocidal actions of the United States? Good! Keep it up, though I hope you’re doing so as part of an organization. But it is hard to imagine that you really are when you’re here, thinking it’s important enough to argue the “not all whites men USians!” line.

                    Even setting aside the fact that directing your indignant energy towards yourself and demanding others do the same, like you are the aggrieved party in a post about the bombing of children in other countries is cringe… Literally no one who says “the US is a terrorist state” is implying that every individual between Mexico, Canada and the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is a terrorist, or that every single one of them condones the terrorism that the US is committing, or even that some of them aren’t actively in opposition to it. What you are arguing about is not relevant. And what’s more, it’s petty and self centered.

                Any “resistance” worth anything needs to begin from an understanding that this administration is unique only in it’s honesty about what it is.

              Good. Then make the distinction that the administration is guilty, not the people. We are literally dying in the streets fighting them and it’s wrong of you to blame us.

                These are effects of the quality of the US education system in full display i guess…

                My original post is just “The US is a terrorist state makes more sense.”, which you somehow interpreted as me blaming the US people… who did vote for this even though that post was removed by mod for some reason.
                Bye.

                  even though that post was removed by mod for some reason.

                  Just want to point out that the reason that one comment of yours got removed (I presume - I didn’t do it, I’m not a mod) was because you were explicitly blaming non-voters for the genocide.

                  There were many many people who didn’t vote in the last election because they saw that both “meaningful” options were fascists, the blue flavored ones who were currently in power at the time and who were already committing the genocide and promising to do it even harder if reelected OR the red (orange) flavored fascist who also promised continued genocide. The people who refused to vote for any genocidal fascists regardless of flavor are not responsible for the fact that the genocide continued unsurprisingly under the red flavor.

                  So when fans of the blue fascists come in here upset their blue flavor didn’t win and start blaming the rest of us (when the blame actually belongs squarely on the shoulders of their blue candidates for their abject failure to do the bare minimum and simply oppose literal genocide) it just turns into a blue MAGA shit-flinging episode that we’ve already dealt with and debunked countless times. So the mods nip it in the bud and remove comments that wrongly blame people with anti-genocide principles for the genocide. And your comment got a little too close to that line. So, now you know.

                    I’m not the only one making that claim but it’s a “reasonable” explanation, assuming that was the reason.

                  I didn’t vote for it. I’m fighting against it. Why are you blaming me? You’re allowing them to divide us against each other. That’s what they want and you’re just handing it to them. Stand with us in solidarity please, we need better people right now.

      Not to be against distinctions and clearly this administration is insane. But I agree with the rest that it is not a one time thing. The imperialism has been there for decades. Chile 73 just to give one.

        Do you think Harris would have kept us out of Iran?

        Why?

        We don’t vote for this, it always IS regardless of voting. According to polls, most voters don’t want us fighting in the middle east or anywhere else. Ever.

          She’s not Trump. That’s all that matters.

          If she hadn’t bombed Iran, it would be because she was kinder and wiser and more serious. If she had bombed Iran, it would have been for better reasons and with more international support.

          But the important thing is that she wouldn’t be Trump.
