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.
So the complaint is that I was a soldier. Keep up.
No the complaint is that you were a soldier in a fascist genocidal army and are proud of it, plus not being ashamed of the fact your country is a ravenous genocidal warmongerer.
So you just hate America. Cool, bro.
Yeah I hate white supremacy, capitalism and genocide. You clearly don’t.
Wrong on all counts.
It’s a paradox to hate white supremacist genocide in favor of American capitalism but somehow still being proud of serving the military that causes it.
I’m not really a big fan of capitalism. I used to think I was but it hasn’t really worked out that way.
If youre not a big fan of capitalism why are you proud of spreading its influence and helping fight for it
Yes.
