I’ve been thinking about this amped up conservative rhetoric that liberals and leftists hate America. We all know that’s BS. Right? Except it’s not, and we should respond to it for what it is.
“I love an America I grew up in. I love an America I believe in, that I lived most of my life in. Now, the idea of America that you’re fighting and “winning” for is killing that America I live in, that I love. So you’re right. I hate what you imagine America to be… because it is trying to murder the America that I love. And I don’t use the word “murder” lightly, and I apply it to you. And if that means to you that I hate America… then you’re right! The America you believe in isn’t lovable.”
That’s all.
Diplomacy is when you force Haiti to lower its minimum wage so your monied class can get even richer
Fought against how we treat Haiti.
You fought as a soldier against your own government?
Like with guns? No. I fought in ways that aren’t going to get me dismissed as a loony because those are losing strategies.
Let’s hear these winning strategies then.
Let know if you figure it out, mate.
Your winning strategies won so hard that trump is president and your government shut down.
I’m one person. If being one soldier in an army is power, so is being one vote in a country. If my vote didn’t change anything, neither did my soldering.
Your vote didn’t change anything because it was never meant to change anything fundamentally. Just some farce to keep the masses under the delusion that they can change things without collective mass mobilizations. A religious ritual that reaffirms faith in the american capitalist order. Just another cope.
You being a soldier did in fact help with the maintenance of a fascist army though, sorry.
Real “my girlfriend lives in Canada” ass answer
So, you didn’t fight against it. You just quietly disapproved and then went back to serving the machine that was doing it
