Just owning up to being a piece of shit lmao

You can be against Russia and the war on Ukraine and still realize that the majority of Russian citizens didn’t ask for this and don’t want it.

It’s the same thing as hating all Americans when they invaded Iraq and Afghanistan (and then overstayed by a decade and a half).

But nuance is a little too much to ask for right? Just need to be on the hate train 24/7.

Lol, let the xenophobia flow through your down votes. This is what you get for having a normal take. Americans love to hate other populations based on what their corrupt governments do. Ignorance is life here.

Omg so shocking politicians are corrupt ass hats who literally exist in a different class than the rest of us.

Sounds like you’ve just always been a rube. So are you going further left or just voting for the people who literally tell you they don’t care?

and does not exist to create profits unless interfered by with politicians.

Yeah, because there is definitely no group of people becoming absurdly wealthy off of the military industrial complex and invasions of foreign countries with valuable resources /s

It also exists “to be interefed with by politicians” by its nature.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Thanks.

Interesting to see all the offensive campaigns going on from Ukraine.

English reading, among others.

Oh yeah, I’m sure clown is technically correct about the term and definition of recession. The people losing are definitely the people who are being priced out of groceries and homes. Acting like everything is fine and the economy is great is pretty fucking tone deaf.

Attrition is a powerful factor often forgotten in war.

Lemmy armchair 5 star general recently completes Sun Tzu’s Art of War and thinks things are being forgotten about military tactics.

They’re wealthy enough to be able to absorb the increased cost without noticing while going “ACK-shually” to anyone who isn’t wealthy enough to aborsb the cost increase without noticing. Arm chair economists are fucking cancer.

Great backup strategy lmao “put them all in one place what could go wrong”

Good example of cyber crime causing bankruptcy.

So brave of you to take such a moral high-ground. Convince me I’m wrong that we would all be better off as a country if the slaves who built the south owned the south after they were freed (obviously their previous masters would not just stand by and watch this happen).

Instead we limp along fighting a constant culture war of racism with literal white supremacists having invaded all forms of government and law enforcement, because we didn’t end them once and for all when we had the chance.

Unfortunately, your point of view won out back then and brought us this shit hole of a political stage in which we now live. So you can at least feel proud of that. It’s not like the country wasn’t already founded on literal fucking genocide. You’re fine to prosper off of those mass killings. Hypocrite.

Edit: don’t you think it’s sad the chattel slavery racists got the pass and the literally innocent native population got the barbarity? Fuck your perspective.

Honestly, the only right thing to do after the civil war was to murder all the southern secessionists and give all of their wealth and land to the slaves.

The only reason we have this special brand of conservatism in the United States is because we agreed to be buddy-buddy with extreme racists over repairing our relationship with the slaves.

The south, and by extension the Republicans who give it power, is a cultural cancer on the world that needs to be stomped out forever.

while not much commenting on the likes of China and Russia

He, and by extension anyone making arguments criticizing America, doesn’t need to comment because the rest of western society is constantly commenting on China or Russia. They’re almost never out of our news cycles, at least in the past few decades.

Even barring the fact that most of what we hear about from the east is heavily filtered through propaganda efforts, saying “now also criticize these groups!” is just whataboutism intended to change the topic, and is more akin to saying All Lives Matter.

A shitty American one. Because capitalism.

Stay obese on propaganda, kiddo.

Edit: don’t ever forget you fired this gem first

he typed, sure of his worldview and naive to the hypocrisy of consuming electricity which powered the personal computer he bought and didn’t forge himself from silicon and copper.

Lead with condescension and get it in return.

Exactly. Now stand firm against the “we can’t have that here [because made up x y and z reasons]” clowns that will tell you it isn’t possible in any other country.

We know it’s possible. Especially for the richest nation in the world. The issue is that the richest nation in the world has been bought by the powerful elite and doesn’t give a single fuck about the people, because capitalism is busy making shareholders rich.

They still exchange currency for goods and services in Norway. Hell they even pump oil offshore. The difference is that that oil profit literally goes to the benefit of the people.

I bet there is something in between Late Stage Capitalism USA and past soviet “communism” where workers aren’t being exploited.

Edit: how are you liking America and the pizza? Just assuming you’ve moved somewhere that prioritizes profits so you can enjoy them and the pizza.

Where?
