Nah, I agree with the take. I disagree that fighting in the comment section against people who are more aware than the average us citizen is going to produce the results you want.
You are literally fighting against people who are calling out US imperialism.
lol I’m not fighting, I’m having a discussion.
You’ve taken the position that anything except shouting about revolution is simping for the US. There’s no middle ground for talking with you apparently.
If you seriously support having a Revolution in the US then reading Theory is not optional, there are errors upon errors upon errors that people inevitably fall into if they do not have a correct understanding of the world, it's history, and how society, economy, the state, Capitalism and so on actually work, which kills a Revolution and result in horrible failure. Cowbee (I think, or maybe it was yogthot or how ever the name is spelt) has a good beginners reading list you can work through, at the least you should read works by Marx, Engels, and Lenin at a minimum.
Here's the basic study guide in question.
"You're just fighting, I'm simply having a discussion!"
Wait, so being in favor of imperialism is taking a position, but being against imperialism is fighting people?
I didn’t say I’m in favor of imperialism.
You're just against people who oppose imperialism.
A handful of Lemmings is all people who oppose imperialism now?
Ok.
Looks like it. And the second they speak against it you throw a hissy fit.
You didn't have to.
Ooh so edgy.
How is that, in any way, edgy?
It's easy internet points on Lemmy to do this song and dance of punching down on US citizens for seemingly not doing anything to fight the current administration.
There's a lot of ways to do so that get ignored in threads like these.
This administration is just a symptom of a more insidious evil in the system... Called Capitalism. Reds and Blues are the same thing.
It's not just the current administration; it's every administration.
Are you fucking trolling?
Easy and fun!
Revolution, or invasion, is the only solution for the US. People outside don't believe in people inside's willingness to make the former happen. The latter is the retribution waiting to blow in their faces.
