Dude Americans can’t even be fucked to do anything when their kids are smashed to pieces by bullets in their own schools, except of course a “thoughts and prayers” on a social media is about the most of it, the rest go “Oh that’s terrible” and go back to eating their dinners.

It’s “whataboutism” to make it look like a Republican genocide is worse than a Democrat genocide. Instead of calling a spade a spade, when the spade is painted red it’s now somehow worse.

Crazy that Americans couldn’t come up with a third, non-genocidal option.

It’s a European tradition to spectate torture and execution for entertainment.

Probably his birthday suit.

What if wanting a peaceful homeland requires displacing and killing people? Or is that considered “conflating the two” in your eyes?

What about other Israeli prime ministers?

Gee I wonder why.

Listening to that album nowadays is hair-raising. It’s almost as though people have been screaming in Americans faces for decades about what’s becoming impossible to ignore, I know I was singing these lyrics since 1999:

"Well, I’d like to tell you all about my dream

It’s a place where strip malls abound

And diversion’s mere moments away

Where culture’s defined by the ones least refined

And you’ll be left behind if you don’t fit in

It’s all distorted in Americana my way

Well, fuck you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, well, my dream has come true

Whoa, whoa, whoa, my vision has come true

Now give me my cable, fast food

Four-by’s, tat’s right away

I want it right now 'cause

My ge-generation don’t like to wait

My future’s determined by thieves, thugs and vermin

It’s quite an excursion but it’s okay

Everything’s backwards in Americana my way

Well, fuck you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, well, my dream has come true

Whoa, whoa, whoa, my vision has come true

Yeah, it’s all coming true

I’m a product of my environment

So don’t blame me, I just work here

But I wanna fuck it up

My rights are denied by those least qualified

Trading profit for pride but it’s, it’s okay

Everything’s backwards in Americana my way

Well, fuck you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, my nightmare has come true

Whoa, whoa, whoa, my nightmare has come true

Yeah, it’s all coming true

Yeah, it’s all coming true"

Catholic priests aren’t all religions.

it’s Israelis but even a lot of them are against the whole fascist murdering thing….

Not true - https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/30/israeli-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/

You’re talking about a society that had a pro-rape January 6th: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-prison-idf-soldiers-arrest-palestine-rape-b2587997.html

That’s how Americans exercise their 2nd amendment outside of their schools.

Laws and the state exist to deal with the people that DO want to rape and murder.

And religion doesn’t? What subject are we talking about again?

Money exists to provide a more convenient way to exchange goods and services.

Is it the most convenient way? Have there been other ways? (Yes, there has, for thousands of years.)

Let’s say I am a worthless keyboard warrior living in America and not going out to protest as if my future depended on it, what difference would that make? Still an accurate description of Americans, if you’re an American on lemmy complaining about people showing a mirror to you then do something about it.

Saying “Without laws I wouldn’t do right from wrong” is also just as much a sociopathic self report imo. Same with “money” and “The State”, i’m an atheist just like them except I go one or two gods further.

I see your logic, atheists. Now apply that to “laws”, “money”, and “The State”.

Ok then, what if the person dropping the 2000lb bomb on Musk was Israeli?

very deliberately ignoring any kind of evidence

These are people that believe in an old beard in the sky. They’re not ignoring evidence, they’re mentally incapable of processing it. There’s a good majority of Americans that literally don’t know how to think, that think dumb ignorance is somehow cute and forgivable, that believe anything they’re told because “look at his suit.”

I know, which is why Americans are fucked. They don’t even have a shared history, let alone reality or morals. I mean, most Americans don’t know about how the police dropped bombs on Philadelphia in 1985, let alone even protest or start a riot over it. 341 million Americans agreed not to riot over that one.

I also struggle to see how “Africans are to blame for global warming” the same way Americans are to blame for their own countrymen’s actions.

EDIT - Just to add, I find it intriguing that you’re so quick to blame Africans for the sake of a strawman argument. Not a good look, kinda looks American.
