US liberal response to a foreign government shooting their own people: "OMG, why don't they rise up and revolt against such tyranny?!"

US liberal response to their own government shooting at them: "Hold on now guys, we need to be peaceful and civil with the guys shooting at us, or else they might do something drastic, like shoot at us!"

The tyranny which is often a result of direct or indirect Amerikkkan involvement (the poster he responded to might have been from one of those countries) but no you butt out. This is our problem and I will do nothing about it because I am not a authoritarian tankie. I am going to brunch anyway in a frog costume as a form of rebellion.

I have to give it to the bourgeois in Amerikkka for making such a powerful propaganda department and creating conditions which turn people into whatever this is.

There is something morbidly fascinating about it all, it's the most complex and organised propaganda apparatus in history, so well organised that the people spreading this stuff don't even consider anything they say to be propaganda.

They have absolutely no respect for any other culture or country's boundaries so why the fuck should anyone else "butt out" (respectfully lmao) of theirs? Fuck off.

[–] oliveoil@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

You tell 'em!

American libs are so fucking chauvinistic even when they're trying to throw a pity party for themselves jfc

Like... they're already killing you regardless of whether or not you "fight back", sometimes for literally no reason you dipshit. Or is this lib trying to signal that they 100% buy into the "Renee was trying to run over/threaten ICE with her car" narratives?

Unless someone assembles an army

Even if someone was actually doing that, this lib would absolutely decry it as "far-left terrorism"

[–] oliveoil@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

If someone assembles and army, this dude sure ah hell ain't joining, his life is too precious.

Fighting and dying is for the poors and the browns.

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 51 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're right, the american regime is the first and only one to consider killing dissidents, which is why dissidents should protest by having a sign on their lawn (a grass rectangle americans keep near their houses) that says "trump is a poopoohead".

[–] Trickle8305@hexbear.net 38 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, Everywhere revolutions just famously worked when a bunch of people marched for a couple of weeks. No one got shot or imprisoned for decades, no one was sent to siberia to starve. no massed crowds were fired upon on any famous steps.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

It worked out well for these guys:

(But I think they may have also done some other stuff too)

it's called a long march because they marched for a long time

Kill squad gets sent to city, "we cant become violent or they will send kill squads!"

What does this clown think will happen anyway? One to many snowballs get thrown and Trump sends the marines to indiscriminately murder civilians?

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Kill squad gets sent to city, "we cant become violent or they will send kill squads!"

There's a simple answer. "Sure they killed someone in cold blood, but they won't kill me", so they oppose escalation. The situation in the US is deteriorating, but the subjective and objective reasons for revolution and what that implies to be appealing aren't present... yet.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

Right. As long as people can stay home and be "safe" with their treats why would they stick their necks out? We're a deeply individual society so there's no sense of community or solidarity with those other people.

They also likely can't imagine actually killing any targets that remove some of the danger against themselves, but always imagine violence as like random killings and destruction because that's how American media always depicts anti-government/worker resistance to things, especially during protests.

The idea that you could remove an ICE agent and be safer as a result, i.e. what happened to Good, doesn't cross their mind.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 46 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

The US uses my country as a glorified military base, so I'll say whatever the fuck I want.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That outburst is going to cost you another 3 barely functional submarine purchases.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

I'm about to eat a nuclear sub I swear to ya mutha

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 41 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If we add in the already obvious other premises: They are already killing peaceful protestors (i.e. being definitely safe is off the table) and, unsurprisingly, they don't care what peaceful protestors have to say, then the logical conclusion of what this liberal is saying is that the American people should be building an insurgent army to oppose ICE and company. I'm kind of curious what they would say to evade that conclusion.

Not especially important, but it's amazing how liberals will talk about the authoritarianism of countless other countries that America needs to bomb but then say (falsely!) that America is totally unique in the world in that it has the most violent repression of protests. America's pretty bad, don't get me wrong, but several countries (mostly ones America has fucked over and backs reactionary governments in) have it worse. Do they genuinely believe that protestors are safer in Palestine or Syria? Fuck, this person (again falsely) would in other contexts probably say that repression is more lethal in China!

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Do they genuinely believe that protestors are safer in Palestine or Syria?

Libs are still going on about "Do you condom Hummus?" so they agree protesters should be shot for trying to "genocide Israel."

But yeah. People in Palestine, Venezuela, and so on are living in worse conditions than the US with far more risk. The things Americans are afraid of happening here already happen in other places. The people still manage to organize resistance efforts, often against the violence of the US military.

[–] edie@lemmy.encryptionin.space 36 points 3 weeks ago

American politics and activism is not the same as everywhere else in the world.

AmeriKKKan exceptionalism.

We do not get to physically fight back, because we will be killed or disappeared.

As if that's different from every other fucking place.

They don't think people get shot in other countries because those aren't people.

So deluded. Just showing their whole ignorant ass. Their barbaric mobs, our sober democracy.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 33 points 3 weeks ago

We ask the question, how much more can you take?

And their answer is, quite a lot actually, i'm hoping to get out of this one with no serious repercussions!

[–] yunqihao@lemmygrad.ml 33 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The average Amerikkkan is such a pathetic sack of shit it's genuinely incredibly impressive how the system was able to completely lobotomize and neuter such an immense portion of the population that they will continue to "but both sides bad" and lick government boots that are actively beating and murdering them and their neighbors.

[–] Umechan@hexbear.net 32 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

American exceptionalism but the exceptionalism is cowardice apparently.

Fair enough! So you're actively pushing for a people's militia, or other organised armed resistance, right? anakin-padme-2

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn't want to CONTRAdict them, but I'm not so sure they're right.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

In all fairness, it is slightly different in that they're in the imperial core. Not that they have this level of analysis, but things like this can feel more dangerous and certainly a lot more pointless when your enemy has billions of dollars at their disposal on your doorstep.

[–] Sarek@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought opposing the government was exactly why their 2A rights are so precious and important

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The Second Amendment was created to form militias to genocide Natives and brutalize Blacks, so it is working as intended.

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

well regulated militias :smuglord:

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 13 points 3 weeks ago

Well when they conscript you libs into the army so you can start goose stepping into my country, then I’ll be the one who kills you.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

Hey WDYMP here with the Hexbear Post. Quick question, who are in the kill squads? You disapprove of the institution that goes around killing people, right?

if we protest against them shooting at us, they might shoot at us 😱

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Lmao the irony of them saying this to someone who could be from the third world

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Everyone acts like you need your own billion dollar army when we're so spread out you just need organization across a whole lot of little groups.

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I keep pointing out that both factions of the RSDLP had like 9000 members in all of Russia in 1905.

The US left is organised enough between the DSA and the hardline groups to force significant action. Trump doesn't quite yet have the latitude of action the Tsar had.

But that requires willingness to undergo significant risk to life and livelihood. Hard to tell people to do that.

And of course it's hard to judge when trying to avoid provocation ends and it's time to escalate. There's no easy answers just...lines of Praxis you'll have to try. This is uncharted ground.
