Yeah one question, what did America do to Vietnam after that?

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

What were the Japanese doing then?

Are you saying we should allow the genocide in Palestine to continue, and add suffering in America too?

Im saying using Vietnam as an example why working with the US is good is the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

I think it was less, "the US is good" and more "one way or another someone is gonna fuck you over, sometimes the only choice you have is who"

Fine, give me a better example.

I'm not married to that analogy.

I could talk about the women and former slaves who worked for politicians who couldn't promise them the vote.

Would that get the point across to you?

I'm saying you guys should fight your own war against your elites instead of throwing foreigners under the bus.

Yes, we should use the magic genii that let's us reset years of history in an instant.

Why didn't we think of that?

Translation.

There's no actual plan, or even a concept of a plan.

Did you know conspiracy to commit genocide was punishable by death in the united states?

Which part of this statement do you disagree with:

(a) there is a genocide (b) both parties are liable for that genocide (c) voting for them is empowering the genocide

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Turn it around.

If both sides support genocide, what is your plan to actually stop the genocide?
