At what point would you be in favor of death to America? Your political project has gone genocidal, your economics have cemented ecocide, you've got secret police lynching people in the streets, and it has been shown beyond a reasonable doubt that your elected officials are all in a conspiracy to rape and traffic children. I'm guessing there is no point where you'd have any semblance of camaraderie with the third world.
The main character syndrome in your comment is palpable.
"Sure, we've done a bit of genociding Jewish people, but death to the Third Reich? Slow your roll. What about all of the people who depend on our beautiful Mercedes? What about how we as 30s germans are crucial to the international economy? Some sort of depression would increase worldwide suffering"
Just because you are a foundational world economy doesn't mean you get to do genocide. Fuck outta here with this handwringing, pearl clutching, imperialist, liberal, genocide apologia masquerading as utilitarianism.
Just keep in mind the rest of the world hates you.
"Which country is the biggest threat to world peace?"
Beautiful.
What the fuck does death to America even mean? You're super pissed at me because of a bunch of shit you made up about me and I'm not engaging anymore unless you calm down and explain what that even means first.
It means death to the American experiment. It's a failure. Fucking read what your country has done since WWII. You are the bad guys.
What does that mean? Killing civilians? Since it sounds like you're advocating for murder but are too chicken shit to admit it. So you say all this other shit because it means you don't have to explain the murders you believe should be committed.
Good strategy /s
IT MEANS SANCTIONING YOUR COUNTRY OUT OF EXISTENCE, HOPEFULLY BALKANIZATION.
Which part of that condones murder of civilians. Are you unable to read, or are you pretending not to have registered this very salient point that I've already made?
I'm chicken shit for calling for the downfall of the global hegemony, but you're brave for defending the murder of countless civilians. What a cool mindset you have.
If only you had said any of that before I 100% lost interest in speaking to you again
Not trying to offend, take it as a perspective from outside.
You have a nationalist mindset and are identifying so much with it your nation state, that you‘re automatically equating it with the people living there (mostly themselves oppressed mind you) and jump straight to projection of what would happen, because it‘s exactly what your nation state has done throughout its history, your logical conclusion — war, destruction, mass murder.
Nobody said that, nobody meant that, nobody wants that, but you got triggered, because your first instinct is to be a proud American. You think that about sums it up?
I think what sums all these kinds of threads up is "nuh uh, what you said doesn't matter as much as what I said."
You, like the other guy, have no idea what I meant or am thinking, but you're acting as though you can read my mind perfectly. What I said has NOTHING to do with nationalism. And I don't really feel like explaining myself to people who already incorrectly decided what I'm thinking.
edit: also, I am most certainly not proud to be american. You pulled that out of your ass because it certainly has fuck-all to do with what I wrote.
"Amerikkka" as an entity ceases to exist, it's government vacated, the area that was formerly "USA" divided into however many independent states. This can happen without any violence, though that's probably not likely. Everyday that the US exists people are murdered by American troops. To end the US would save countless lives. Fuck Amerikkka, Death to Amerikkka, I say this as a buddhist who abhors killing.
