I knew people on lemmy.ml wasn’t as cool as the folks here no grad, but wasn’t expecting this shit getting 30 upvotes
why America is in the wrong in every single event
They are though. Like I can’t think of an example of an international conflict after the WW2 where the US was not on Satan’s side. Even from my very limited knowledge, I can list about ten examples where they caused widespread destruction and destitution just to further the interests of their capitalist class. Most of these examples, like Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Vietnam are downright psychotic. I don’t know why being critical of the US is a controversial pain point for these people.
Because china worse. How terrible would it be if China was doing coups/wars in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Vietnam etc.?
Operation Paperclip was America’s plan to integrate Nazi officers into the American government and economy.
And operation bloodstone was America’s plan to take the worst nazi war criminals and give them carte blanche to run our intelligence services
Did the USA government also recruited Nazi scientists to conduct illegal/unethical experimentations on Indigenous First Nation children in Indian Residential fake schools that inspired the Nazi death camps and might still continue in secret as “atonement” for the Nazi scientist war crimes in the Nazi German Holocaust?
They kinda supported the Kurds* when the Kurds helped fight ISIS**.
*Does not apply to Kurds in Turkey or Kurds in Iraq once the US’s puppet gov’t restored order or all Kurds in Syria.
**Which the US created via their post-saddam policies, and armed via the “moderate syrian rebels” most of whom joined or immediately surrendered to ISIS.
Why are libs so quick to defend the US? They act like the criticism is directed towards them personally, it’s bizarre. They can acknowledge that this country is gerrymandered to hell and that our representatives are the employees of rich businessmen instead of public servants… but then they defend every policy these politicians make as if they’re the politicians themselves.
Maybe it’s a side effect of the nationalism that the US tries so hard to instill in their populace from a young age. Results, probably quite intentionally, in any slight to the country being perceived as a slight to them personally. Which isn’t the case at all, I don’t necessarily discount all USians due to where they are born until they give me reason to, which most do.
On that note, do US children still do that weird daily flag pledge thing? Always seemed particularly dystopian to me.
Yes we still do loyalty oaths every morning before class starts and oftentimes kids have to say it even when they’re doing school remotely. Like, they recite the prayer with their classmates on a zoom call lol.
Even though it’s technically illegal to force anyone to say it, it’s rare that the option is seriously presented to kids and respected by teachers.
Dastardly authoritarian orangutanian red fash tankies, praising socialist states that have to do so little with communism… They should follow our examples of communism instead, of much more influence and with a much more lasting legacy for communists worldwide. We are the only ones who truly know how to liberate the working class. RIP CHAZ 2020-2020.
I couldn’t be a tankie, because I don’t live in the UK and I wasn’t alive in 1956.
