You dishonor everyone who died fighting the fascists by misusing that word. You are screaming over the lived experience of an indigenous man and throwing slurs. Hell you accused me of working for Musk because I disagree with you partially. Do some introspection. But go on, tell me more about how you beat me, thump your chest and never stop to think
Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide?
A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 2 months agoOh! Lookie here, a fascist for breakfast. My day is off to a lovely start.
The difference is in the history. America has NEVER been honest about its origins. No other modern nations were built on slavery like we were. Britain abolished it decades before America. And after WWII, they gave up the rest of their colonies because it was the right thing to do.
America? America never stopped. It only stopped genociding Indians when they were such a small population that they couldn’t pose a threat to the white man, and it still fucks them over every chance it can.
Racism is so deeply embedded in America that the simple claim that black lives matter turned into a controversy. You know what a normal nation would’ve done? Examine their police. Us? We said fuck those people, let the racist cops do whatever they want.
This is called honesty. Progress can’t be made without it.
I’ve made it my life’s work to fight white supremacy in the blue collar South and I’ll fucking devour you whole.

Excuse me? First off, you defended the US government. That was the point you made when prompted.
Look I don’t try to talk over anyone. You didn’t bring identity into it until just now. I genuinely try to be mindful of my privilege at all times and have for a while.
But you should know as well as anyone that the US is, especially now, a fascist dictatorship, and doesn’t need white knights (ironically) stepping up to say “oh poor America it gets such a bad rap for its long history of subjugation”.
That was the point I was making. Which, I feel, is pretty fair. But I’ll listen if you’ve got something to say.

It’s not so much you’re right (you only have part of the equation) but the absolute dedication to walking yourself off about how righteous you are and how you “left me bleeding on the ground” much like other white folk have physically left me in the past for my heritage. You immediately declared me a fascist for disagreeing with you and while you made good points it’s lost in your threat based rhetoric and chest beating antics, I hope you get better and less intolerant Settler

Look, I do mean it when i say im sorry. I don’t actually like being angry, it bugs me. But actual fascists are somehow everywhere around me in the Deep South, man. And I’ve seen a lot of em sneak on here and argue in bad faith. I’ve got a zero tolerance for white supremacy and that’s where I thought you were coming from.
So. I came out a bit too aggressive there, but I will remind you that until you tell someone who you are on here, youre basically anonymous.
I am curious to the original point of contention, though - why would you defend America’s founding?

Less intolerant?? Look buddy im sorry i didn’t somehow know you were Native but if youre still waving an American flag after the last six months I don’t care.
I got pissed off because you were defending the US in the midst of all this. Im a goddamn anarchist. I routinely remind other crackers whose land we stole.
So maybe its a good thing I pissed you off so much youre coming back to this after how long now?
