    Don’t blame me, I posted critical memes on Lemmy, I did all I could!

    Edit: I have some mixed feelings about this comment. Let’s cut the snark and actually think about what we can do to stop this madness. I hope everyone is checking in with their local orgs to see what actions can be taken.

        Americans are also a victim of it. But we do have more agency (and thus responsibility) in reducing its harms.

        I will note however that there is probably something that can be done from anywhere in the world. We live in an interconnected world. The fascist empire exists in part because the world allows it to.

          You can say whatever you want to try to dilute and deflect any criticism, but to us outside the empire, we simply can watch the news to see who is the real problem

          Victim of American empire:

          Dont blame me, im one of the victims of your fascist empire

          (Presumably) American:

          We live in an interconnected world. The fascist empire exists in part because the world allows it to.

          Are you kidding?

            Everyone wants to play the victim. No one wants to do the hard work to protect the victims. Human nature.

            But whining about it online doesn’t change shit. I guarantee you the real victims aren’t here on Lemmy.

              Are you kidding me? What do you know about Salamence’s life, situation, or actions? What gives you the right to lecture like this?

                The fact that they’re lecturing us from the same position lol. That’s what made me want to comment in the first place.

                But it’s fine, I was trying to get past that with my edit calling for everyone to work together. But I guess as usual leftists working together proves impossible. Big part of why the world is so shit.

                  the same position

                  Salamence:

                  Dont blame me, im one of the victims of your fascist empire

                  Clearly not the same position. You assumed the person posting was in the same position, which was incorrect.

                  Solidarity is good. But people in the imperial core can’t expect solidarity if they don’t give it.

                  calling for everyone to work together

                  Really? From this reply you made clear what you want is to share the blame
