In a set of fascistic speeches on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House power broker Stephen Miller, and other top Trump administration officials labelled the political left as a “terrorist” threat and vowed to use all of the tools at their disposal to systematically destroy left-wing groups. Representatives from 67 countries gathered in the U.S. on Thursday for a meeting…

Americans will listen to this and then just drive to their shitty jobs they hate like everything is normal. They don’t fucking care.
Americans wouldn’t mind if leftists are “rooted out”.
It’s not that I don’t care. I just need to exhaust all alternatives before I simply accept that my family likely dying is the only option.
That’s basically the average the country is left with between the decent people and the tens of millions who voted for idiotic racist rapist fascism three times in a row.
It’s like a third don’t care, a third do care, and a third are enthusiastically in favor.
A third “do care” as long as “caring” requires literally no real effort, risk, or sacrifice on their part. They care performatively, which is as good as not caring at all.
It’s really fucking easy to be a tough guy on the Internet. Congratulations.

Quit your bitching and state how you’re helping. You keyboard warriors are fucking annoying, man.
US Americans, especially white US Americans, are incapable of doing anything because a violent revolution of their state is against their material interests and they know it. This is why settler US Americans are not part of the global proletariat. For the global proletariat violent revolution is a either a side step in material reality or a benefit but the settler US Americans, like Israelis, benefit materially from their state via subsidy and sharing in the global extraction from the empire.
You don’t even know if he’s American or not.
And even if he is, what difference does it make? You’re in a Lemmy comment section. People are going to write what they’re thinking. Even if they don’t, this sort of thing will still be in their heads. Which you can’t even blame anyone for considering how impotent the masses are in the US. Thoughts like these are perfectly understandable regardless of who it’s coming from.
I am American, I was making fun of the keyboard warrior I replied to, and Poe’s Law is way too fucking strong in this space. 🙄
Yes, my point was more that you being or not being American is irrelevant in this context, considering the USA’s status as the global hegemond (thereby causing everyone to have a stake in it regardless). My thoughts still stand.
No, they’re not “understandable”.
And I’ll keep telling them how much of a useless fuck they are when, they too, aren’t putting their fucking necks out on the line to stem this.
Do you care to explain exactly why it’s not understandable?
In any case, you’re getting angry at the wrong people. This is counter-productive.
I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouruh.
