and they would be right.
But no need to do something.
On the contrary, glad to see them go down the shitter.
Given how many countries the US has victimized, it's at least a little comforting to know they're getting some of it turned back on them.
They had a chance to make things better, unlike so many other countries. They had it good for decades, only to blow it all up for some narcissistic, billionaire pedophile. Fuck em.
The libs were perfectly happy to live in their american bubble of 'democracy' getting the crumbs of the empire's looting and murdering.
As long as it happened far away they could turn a blind eye.
So you're glad to see children in concentration camps? Glad to see LGBT people assaulted? Glad to see people shot in the head for nothing? That's pretty fucked up.
That's what happened already, only on a lesser scale.
And again, more importantly, it didn't inconvenience the white libs.
I bet you don't know any of the names killed by ICE under many presidents from either side of your uniparty.
But you specifically mention "people shot in the head for nothing".
I know exactly who you mean, those 2 dead white people were the outrage and big news.
So fuck you hypocrite and your selective indignation.
Ah, the "you're only mad now so you're wrong" song, heard that before.
First of all, that's assuming I wasn't mad, or doing something about it, before this all happened. Just because I reference a recent outrage doesn't mean that I'm not aware of, or was working against, previous ones.
It's also not a very good thing to say? Like, if that's what radicalizes someone and gets them to wake up and do something, that's good, right? Like people and outrage don't count unless they've been doing it the longest for the most obscure reasons?
Secondly, I'm saying those people being oppressed? The kids in cages, people being arrested? Exploited? Shot? Killed? Tortured? Those people are Americans, too. So people who are like "yeah fuck em all" are in favor of those things happening. They are in favor of ICE and Trump and everything else because they only want the house of cards to fall, and they don't care about collateral damage.
Or, maybe, there's some people who don't like those things, think they are terrible, but have compartmentalized "victims of the system" into a very different hole than "Americans". They are these atrocities and don't think of the people being deported as "American", see people being shot and don't think of them as "Americans". They only associate "American" as the cop with the gun, not the person being shot.
If we going to criticize and laugh at the right for having cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy, as we should, we should look out for our own.
So when you say or think "fuck Americans, fuck em all I hope they burn", you need to either accept the collateral damage or change your stance, because I for one an not going to do the job of the Right's propaganda machine and think of these people as non-American.
Yes you've heard it before because people know you're a hypocrite.
The huge amount of brown and black people killed before are 'the most obscure reasons' for being angry?!!!
Man what a total POS do you have to be to say that?
And then pull some mental gymnastics to claim you don't ' think of these people as non-American'.
I'm going to block you because you disgust me.
And burn in hell with the rest of your hypocritical shithole.
Fuck you all
Man you totally misread that. You picked the one thing to misinterpret and used it to ignore the whole point.
I'm saying that purity tests for outrage are stupid. If someone just got mad about something that everyone is talking about? Good. Welcome to the club. Saying that they shouldn't count because you were mad before or heard about something that they didn't? That's shit.
Notice how they downvote you, but don't reply? They don't want to think, they just want to hate us.
