I'm glad someone got the reference lol
Nothing as American as the exploitation of Black bodies..

I don't really watch much yt (E: but it's always good to have decent recommendations to make to those who do), but I'll give them a look, definitely made a good first impression 👍
Yup. And sorry to hear you know from personal experience.. Sending you a virtual hug.
That was good, as are many of the yt comments, which is unusual lol, thanks for sharing
I’d much prefer to defend our trans community, but...
Jfc...
Says the person who has clearly never even tried listening to trans people, but is more than happy to believe every piece of misinformation they hear about us then demand we labour for them to disprove it to their satisfaction, over the people they claim they wold actually "prefer" to defend, but aren't...
Your misogyny isn't some enlightened understanding.
Cis women are not the biggest fucking victims of transphobia, jfc...
No, you don't get to suddenly now distance yourself and those you serve, the threshold was crossed a long long time ago, war has always been a racket, those making and selling weapons have always been complicit in war crimes, hell, massively responsible for them since they don't just make and sell, and advertise and test (hint: on oppressed populations) (E: and how could I forget - ~~lobby~~ bribe politicians and other policy makers), but most importantly profit from war. Fuck this noise.
Musk is already openly interfering and backing the afd on behalf of the new government he's taken over (E: never mind zuck and whatever Cambridge Analytica bullshit he wants to pull again with meta, as well as plenty other American media owners and capitalists, without a doubt), wtf are you talking about?
Still happening, both in US and EU (couldn't find a good source on the UK, though I don't doubt it happens, instead have this horrible statistic Disabled people's Covid-19 death rate as much as 11 times higher than non-disabled people because we're not seen as worth saving), and certainly in most other countries too.
And this is just disabled people, Indigenous people (in Canada too, of course), immigrants in detention are still being forced/coerced sterilised, as well as several other marginalised groups targeted in different ways (like systemic racism that leads to higher mortality rates of Black birthing parent and babies during and after pregnancy, UK US Canada).
And to go back to what the op of the thread said, the Trail of Tears, is like the tiniest tip of a monstrous iceberg of ongoing genocide, and that monstrous iceberg is just one of many floating in the American ocean of white supremacist atrocity (and before the Americans get defensive, Yes, other countries do atrocities too, yes citizens there/here are also taught a whitewashed version of history that serves to maintain the state, you may not be alone, but you're absolutely no better than anyone else).
