    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.

              I’m happy to discuss further with you when you’ve calmed down. You’re seething right now and I wasn’t trying to make you angry. Maybe we’ll chat more tomorrow. Have a good night. 🫱

                lol, I was perfectly calm and not angry in the least. That’s still the case. In fact I was stoned and probably a little too chill when I wrote the above comment. If you read anger into that, you were waaay off.

                Tbh, I was feeling generous and taking the time to explain to you why everyone here was downvoting you about things you didn’t seem to understand as a gesture of good faith and good will, trying to help out what appeared to me to be a naive baby leftist (something most of us were at some point), not wanting you to feel bad for getting so trounced.

                At this point, assuming you’re sincere and aren’t just a derail troll, I think the only thing for you is to lurk moar.

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