I might get hate because of my instance here, but in an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on why you chose this instance, what’s great about it, what could be better, is the instance rivalries something that affects your use of the platform or is it just background noise?
I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.
It’s good there are less murderers of black/brown innocent people worldwide. Unless one sees those black/brown as lesser people. If you feel patriotic about the US then you don’t belong here
Ffs here we go. I’m not patriotic but it’s a really bad PR move to broadcast that opinion online. You’re not going to win hearts and minds of the opposition with that.
Also, not wanting to celebrate deaths of soliders does not equal patriotism. Wtf?
What are you running for office? It’s morally consistent, lol.
what the fuck is this mentality
Okay if you’re not going to sway hearts and minds then what’s your plan?
I’m not an organization or a figurehead or a celebrity or a politician or a dog
The conscription of those murderers wasn’t forced, they signed for killing poor innocent people. Liberals, ffs.
You think so? I guess you’re right, I’m not forced to participate in this vile capitalist system because I can live under a bridge.
The whole fucking system in rural America all but coerces their enlistment.
You’re putting some lives above others, in this case the lives consciously doing the path of mass murderers.
Not celebrating the death of pawns does not mean I condone what those pawns are doing. I’m not putting their lives above the people they’re killing. You’re making a lot of assumptions about me if you came to that conclusion.
I’m not celebrating the deaths of working class people who have been coerced/manipulated into carrying out the imperialists’ and capitalists’ objectives. Am I sad when they get killed? Perhaps a bit.They shouldn’t be where they are and doing what they’re doing (They probably didn’t even think they’d see combat when they enlisted, nor have they considered what role the US military actually plays in the world). Am I enraged when brown people are killed for absurd reasons? Yes, extremely. It’s disgusting that is allowed to happen.
So yes, when an American solider dies, it’s still a tragedy, and I’m not going to celebrate that (especially when there’s some freaks in .world looking for bad .ml behavior to put on display).
Anglos patting other Anglos on the back as always. 🙄
When my child’s school enrolled them in rotc with neither my knowledge nor permission, I raised immortal hell and made them take them right TF out and I was a liberal, then.
