There's some good people in the streets, mainly from the black and immigrant community, but I suppose these people are not really considered "American" there...
I'm not judging you. My initial impetus for my comment was to say that I hoped all of Amerikkka would be nuked. Then I remembered my comrades there, including the indigenous people I forgot to mention earlier. We have to give them a fair country...
And maybe that means killing most of the white population there.
I'm sorry sis; but this is the one place I disagree with you. I don't disagree with the "not assigned racist at birth"; but where I disagree is that I don't think those maladaptive teachings ever will 'come out in the wash'. Not without every single person who COULD pass on racist teachings to potential offspring going child-free or otherwise dying before they could conceive; and cutting it off at a generational level.
For every out, loud, and proud bigot in Amerikan society, there's two dozen of the vermin under the nearest rotting log. I see it as the older brother to the incel movement; you can ban an incel off every mainstream social media platform on the planet, completely silence him, and he'll still find somewhere to stew with those of like mind. It'd take a catastrophe of size that has never been seen in this country, and a coming together that couldn't be imagined for me to believe that there'd ever be revolutionary potential in a white Amerikan.
Sorry for the late response. I agree with you that re-education is a much better option because it really solves the problem. However, I totally disagree that white Americans have any chance of carrying out a revolution themselves, just as Western Europeans don't. Their entire revolutionary spirit has been co-opted by fascism. I think the only solution is foreign interference. I said nuke jokingly. I would do it along the lines of the denazification of the DDR.
Anyone who isn't white, cis, and heteronormative is excluded to some extent by American society. If they aren't treated as "true" Americans, then you saying you want to nuke Americans would already exclude nuking those that Americans themselves chose to exclude.
I just meant you didn't need to explicitly say you wouldn't also nuke comrades.
Sorry for the late response. What I said was that my initial impulse was to nuke all of Amerikkka, but then I realized that by doing so I would hurt my fellow Americans, which includes the black community, the immigrant community, and the indigenous community. (As for the LGBTQI+ community, I couldn’t include all of them in that category, since being queer isn’t as much of a deterrent to being a Nazi as being part of one of those other communities is.) I ended up writing that I would like Amerikkka to fall as hard as Babylon, which in this case refers to Amerikkka as a country-system, not as a territory. In short, I wouldn’t nuke America, because they’re the ones who like to nuke others. Sorry if my previous comments didn’t make that clear.
"That actual racism out on display [...] Replace white with black, indigenous, Jewish and you’d be banned in a second"
Reverse racist rhetoric? Where have I ever seen that? Oh, in white supremacists.
Do you know why I would be banned if I exchanged white for absolutely any other ethnicity? Because, historically, it was the white elite that went out to exploit the rest of the world and created racism as a "scientific" justification for doing so. So, for any eventual "oppression" (OMG, the Call Me Mañana on lemmy.ml said that for my country to be fair the majority of the white population would need to die, I'm so scared) against white people be considered racism, you would have to rewrite history (and that's what white supremacists do, by the way).
Sorry for the late response. Unfortunately, it is impossible to be racist against white people in the West, since they are the ones at the top of the racial system here. Still, it is not completely impossible all over the world, my fellow Armenians go through similar oppressions. This is absolutely not the case here. It is just some random guy on the internet saying that freedom of the human race will only be achieved with the end of white people in Amerikkka. Obviously chitchat in response to centuries of oppression, but you had to screw it up.
When colored people enslave white people for centuries and then "free" them by throwing them into a segregationist system, and after much struggle change the laws, but still keep them as second-class citizens in practice, then you will be right to say that a white person suffered racism.
I'm not judging you. My initial impetus for my comment was to say that I hoped all of Amerikkka would be nuked. Then I remembered my comrades there, including the indigenous people I forgot to mention earlier. We have to give them a fair country...

*** I replaced white with black to hopefully have these people see how deranged they sound.
Disco Elysium is so good that I even liked the "ultra-liberal" character. Only the fascists (minus René and Measurehead) and the Coalition guys are really impossible to like. But that's because they were so well written.
Taking 100 reál from him doesn't even constitute theft, the contrast in his wealth is so great that he literally bends the light. 100 reál is less than a penny to him. He could have financed the RPG guys until the end, with all their absurd goals, without even feeling it. This kind of "robbery" isn't even satisfactory, since it doesn't cause any damage. And I actually felt terrible taking those 100 reál, because simply pretending to be a liberal is already too much for me. The fact that the game actually counts it as an ultra-liberal speech makes the feeling even worse.
Babylon stayed an important center of economy, culture and administration for centuries after its empire was gone. I only wish complete obliteration to the USA. May it split up and never reunite.
I plan to divide it into foreign occupation zones among future communist nations, like Germany, but this time done properly (no capitalist part). And then I would keep it that way long enough to de-Nazify it (at least a thousand years).
This is amazing. The mental gymnastics necessary is mind boggling.
Let's say Trump and Biden are equally terrible for Palestinians but Trump rolls out a plan to pull out of Ukraine. Using the logic above, shouldn't all Dems vote for Trump since he's quantifiably less terrible?
LOL. What fucking losers. It takes no effort to realize all sides are bad and we're all fucked. Just own it. You can even still be a shitlib like my mom. Just realize it's 100% bullshit.
You misunderstand where their heart is on Ukraine. They don't want Ukrainians to live, they want Russians to die. Their problem with trump pulling out of Ukraine isn't "more dead Ukrainians", it's "less dead Russians". This is why when you suggest Ukraine should take a peace deal to stop the war as soon as possible, you get the whinging and handwringing.
Nope, it is our logic and not theirs. We want fewer dead people. Going by what liberals say about russia, they want more dead people. We only shit on Biden because he is not actually the lesser evil. Communists have made united fronts with many actual lesser evils before. Hell, even our critical support of many countries qualifies as lesser evilism. What makes us different from the liberals is that our perspective is significantly broader. We do not consider the genocides to be a lesser evil in any capacity.
Still remember reading incredibly ghoulish takes saying "This war is good because we're severely damaging Russia at no cost in American lives." Just outright admitting that they consider Ukrainians expendable.
