Shoutout to @afellowkid@lemmygrad.ml for their excellent effortpost response. Always good to remember in situations like this, going to the effort to actually refute and answer and educate is important not to fix the dweeb they are responding to, but so that anyone else who comes to see the interaction can see the stark difference between bullshit and the slightest research

stop being a bad person biden-point

god these people genuinely think they're the protaganist of a YA novel don't they. fucking christ

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

"Stop being a bad person" I say as I defend the U.S. voting against making food a human right, on the grounds of cynicism

You can't do this to me! I started this company! You know how much I sacrificed??

I think what bothered me the most about him (even more than the genocide apologia), was the absolutely unshakeable smug American exceptionalism. He was certain that the world couldn't do anything without the US, and we should all just be grateful for what we have.

Okay, look. The CIA did a lot of bad things to south america. But that was in the 60s, a lifetime ago! And they probably thought they were doing good stuff, they were hard men living in hard times! Things are different now, and the US Government deserves our uncritical rabid devotion!

edit: this is not parody, I am paraphrasing stuff this person was actually saying

Oh, I'm well aware. I wanted to put my pointiest stiletto right through his tongue. He's probably also one of the charming people who insist that colonisation made life better for the natives.

You did well o7

The comment was more for our friends who never ever ever click on links and only know about context if people post it in the comments

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

The CIA did some horrible stuff, but come on, that was the ~~60s 70s 80s 90s 00s~~ 10s! That was the iPhone 2 era!

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

o7 for the awesome response

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

It's true, before the founding of the US everyone starved to death, lying about in fields wondering what the hell these fat turnips were.

[-] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 66 points 1 year ago
  1. Yes, the US is purposely starving the world.

This but unironically

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 62 points 1 year ago

Typical liberal response.

”Hey, do you want to make the world a better place?”

maybe-later-kiddo ”Too expensive! WhO's GoNnA PaY fOr It?”

At least he admits it.

This is the first time i have seen anyone be accused of being a norwegian shill

[-] WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.ml 48 points 1 year ago

I was kind of surprised by that as well. I was being charitable, as China is the biggest in terms of dollar amounts, but they only contribute $20 per capita or so. Norway is almost $1000 and I thought that should be recognised. I was shocked when he came back with wanting to compare totals. I of course sent him the same link again with China written instead.

The guy was absolutely unreachable, but I just tried to present him with actual facts as simply as possible, as they are easy for observers to verify. I'm grateful to the others who explained the geopolitical realities for the people who wanted more though.

[-] ChairmanSpongebob@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

someone finally shining a light on the huge conspiracy on hexbear!

[-] replaceable@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

According to this post plurality of our users are from Norway, coincidence? I dont think so

[-] Antiwork@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago

Yeah “Humans Rights” is a ridiculous framing of any issue

America would have to pay for more food and we already give the world enough aid

I hope they personally starve to death.

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

I hope Stalin rises from the grave and uses his giant spoon to eat all of their food personally. stalin-spoon

Isn’t “virtue signaling” a term fascists use? I think this might be a fascist, not a liberal, although both suck.

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 62 points 1 year ago

Virtue signalling can be a valid non-reactionary critique at times (for examplr the :liberalism: emoji). But yeah conservatives tend to use it more often. Since they are morally bankrupt sadists even surface-level positive changes piss them off.

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This may be the ultimate example of Virtue Signaling™ Ive ever seen. Insead of doing their jobs as legislators and creating legislation to fight injustice, without even pretending to try, they don parody level racist "african culture" scarfs, and then to 'honor' George Floyd they reenact the way in which he was murdered for a fucking photo op.

added bonus, half of them then struggle badly to get back to their feet after kneeling, a great dog and pony gerontocracy show

[-] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

The US, notable for leaving other sovereign nations alone

[-] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

A comrade already pointed this out in another post, but it seems like most liberals are unable to grasp the fact that the US isn’t a villain in a back room twirling its mustache while trying to inflict as much harm as possible on the world for the sake of causing harm. It’s a profit-driven death cult that will write off each atrocity and sociopathic intention as a business expense.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

  1. America and it's cronies

  2. China

  3. America and it's cronies

idk what everyone's talking about, this debate stuff is easy??

smuglord you must answer my questions three!

[-] Melonius@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Begging the question or begging for questions

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

The deepest criticism you could levy at this mentality is that it's the U.S. that is by far most responsible for making a mockery of international law.

[-] berrytopylus@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"I didn't say per Capita" bro that's exactly what you should expect of aid. No one is expecting idk, Lesotho to name some random small nation to give billions and billions in aid.

Per capita and percentage of sovereign wealth are the two main metrics people would judge off, not total amounts.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
