One week old account. 684 Comments. 383 Posts. That’s 152 posts/comments a day, 9 an hour, and most are over a paragraph long. Almost all of them focus controversially on third-party advocacy in the middle of an election year.

Not saying this account is a bot, but a person would certainly have to be spending a whole lot of time on lemmy to be posting this much in one week so it certainly feels spamish.

Dude, do you think I’m criticising the American people?

shit-tier, racist, colonialist, genocide supporting, white-supremacist hellhole. Have fun with dealing with the tide of fascism.

Idk this definitely doesn’t feel like the attitude of someone who wants best for the American people, maybe you as a European, the continent that created fascism and experienced it more than anyone would know otherwise though. /s

Vote all you want, but it’ll never make the United States a good country. The US will always be a colonialist power controlled by the rich until you remove those rich bastards from power.

Unless you’re advocating for the violent overthrow of the American government, something that would be almost impossible, would involve the first civil war in a nuclear nation ever and would inevitably wreak havoc on the world, and is certainly unwarranted under our current administration. Then voting is literally the only way to change our government, and it’s perfectly possible, the Democratic and Republican parties have changed massively due to the will of the people. The Republican Elite did not want Trump, the base did, and the Democratic Elite can’t stop Bernie’s popularity or more people like him getting into local office, state offices, and their influence can be beat in congressional primaries easily, if you want the U.S. to change in a radically left ward direction, violence will get you nothing but arrested, voting (and organizing) will bring change gradually.

The US is a nation of big talk going nowhere. Biden talking about how much he wants to end subsidies but it doesn’t fucking happen.

So you blame the entire nation for the actions of a few fascists in Congress who are still addicted to their oil? Maybe tell us to elect more Democrats who will end subsidies, instead of blaming the ones trying to fix it.

Literally the only article you linked which seems like something happened was US finding for housing in Africa which sounds nice and all, but y’all continue to exploit Africa way fucking more than you contribute.

Is how I know you didn’t read much other than the headlines from those articles, or are you saying that millions of dollars to build housing for refugees in Armenia is nothing? Are you saying the money given to rebuild Ukraine was nothing? Are you saying the houses built and diseases eradicated in Africa were nothing? Are you saying the condemnation of genocide in Myanmar, Xinjiang, and Bosnia and the actions taken against those regimes was nothing? I would generally agree U.S. corporations tend to exploit the global south (along with corporations from China, Russia, and any rich nation), but that in no way negates the actions by the U.S. government to alleviate suffering in the global south, the most powerful country in the world isn’t a monolith.

I’m sorry you can’t abide criticism of your shit-tier, racist, colonialist, genocide supporting, white-supremacist hellhole. Have fun with dealing with the tide of fascism.

Is definitely the attitude that fellow humans should have with each other towards the global rise of fascists. /s

If I was so unreasonable it would be easy to inundate me

Here’s the U.S. investing to create affordable housing in regions across the world.

I notice you’re criticising my reasoning rather than providing an example of a good thing the US has done

Because you started with the precondition that any answer had to be one you had heard of, which is preposterous, how are we supposed to know what you’ve heard of? From the fact that all of the rhetorical questions you asked could’ve been answered with a Google search, it seems you’ve only ever heard of or paid attention to the U.S. doing bad things, which makes finding a good example that you’ve heard of a non-starter.

They’re saying that your coworker didn’t read enough communist propaganda books to forget about the oppression they faced and learned to love Maduro regardless.

I believe I already gave you an example? I explained the source the example was from, and gave a link that got past the paywall.

There’s the non-paywalled link again, I guess.

I get my news from pretty diverse sources, so it shouldn’t be that hard

Diversity of sources almost doesn’t matter, quality does, you could watch a hundred different Trumpist YT channels, Fox, and OAN, and you’re not going to know basically anything factual because all of those sources are trash. The same could easily be said for questionable left wing sources too.

also never even heard of that organisation

It’s one of the most reputable foreign policy publications in the U.S, founded to give an academic counterweight to government statements during the Vietnam War.

It’s also pay-walled, so I couldn’t even read it if I wanted to.

It’s not hard to get past paywalls: https://archive.ph/rOXvz

that I’ve heard

Well that kind of defeats the point doesn’t it? If you’re so far within a rabbithole of politics that you never hear anything positive about the U.S. then that’s on you.

Just one example out of many, the Biden administration stopped a fascist coup in Brazil and protected the democratic legitimacy of the socialist who won the election.

There’s no point in even pretending that Russia, the place where “non-loyal” people regularly “fall out of windows”, has the same level of corruption as the USA other than to create muddled equivalencies and to simp for Russia.

In the US, the government is just a figurehead for the wealthy elite.

Odd that the country supposedly being ran by a figurehead for wealthy elites is infinitely better to live in for working class people, than the supposedly completely working class inspired “socialist” country.

You never found it weird that the Chinese government cracks down harder on independent trade unionists than actual capitalists do here?

The massive difference is that even if that’s true, it’d be on the corporations deciding to change narrative independently, not being forced to by the government.

Outlets like the Guardian are certainly willing to piss off the U.S. government, they were literally one of the publishers of the Snowden files.

I’m pretty sure this is happening in the US because of those pages no longer being profitable to run.

There’s a big difference between that and losing chunks of the internet because of rampant censorship, something we aren’t experiencing in the West/US.

And that lake used to have amazing water infrastructure and a floating city on top of it.

I really wish they hadn’t drained the damn thing, maybe Mexico City could’ve been the Venice of the America’s, but nah, Conquistador gotta Conquest

I’ll also grant that that Hamas probably killed a higher percentage of soldiers on Putin’s 71st birthday than Israel has Hamas members since then.

This is a fucking unhinged comment, beyond you using “Putins Birthday” as a dogwhistle for October 7th. Comments like this do nothing but make the Pro-Palestinian anti-Genocide movement look pro-Hamas.

The rate of civilian to soldier deaths on October 7th are the exact same 2:1 ratio that Israel is currently being criticized for. Both governments are shit when it comes to murdering civilians and neither should be praised.

Ohhhh alright, haven’t heard him called that before.

Spock? Ain’t that Star Trek?

It’s from an actual journalist and has lots more other stories/quotes.

I think it’s actually real… The article also depicts Kirkbride, even in his own words, as like five times more insane than I thought he was, mostly in a good way.

On the development of Morrowind

The Buddhists in Myanmar have been mass murdering Muslims for a decade now.

This is probably retributory violence for those massacres.

Salami Slicing Tactics are actually a very real thing.

It’s basically what Russia and China have been doing for decades
