In Gaza, hunger invades homes, leaving children to sleep hungry, louder than the bombs. We need food, safety, and the world’s attention. Please don’t look away from our pain. 💔

it’s obviously bullshit and it’s always done in a self-serving way

the allies would have probably won without the US, but I do think it probably was over more quickly with the US

Caught one of my Bloomfies experiencing a rather odd situation here.

Again, no alt text, please.

oh fr? lmao

it seems like the only time i get white privilege is when someone wants to be transmisogynistic and pretend i don't have "almond shaped slanted eyes"

As someone of mixed Asian heritage I am so fucking tired of other people dictating my race to me. Telling me when I’m white or white passing or have white proximity and when I don’t.

It was always a problem. But boy is it worse now that I’m also visibly trans.

please explain to me which “just” wars the US has fought in your lifetime.

I mean, I don’t think ww2 was necessarily something they did because it was just and they sure fucked up a lot there too, but I’m willing to give them some credit in defeating nazi germany

black americans are american before anything else!!!

“Trans rights are human rights” libs the second they see a tranny be a little mouthy and weird online

“empathy isn’t a limited resource” sounds pretty hollow when you talk at length about how soldiers don’t have a choice as if they did not sign up by choice, while not acknowledging the primary victims of imperialism.

it’s honestly disgusting how much energy americans on this website spent on whitewashing people who willingly sign up for doing war crimes while the US is bombing another country in a war that violates international law, again.

my whole life everything the US military has done is doing war crimes and destabilizing whole regions, making the whole world worse, and you all wanna talk about the socioeconomic incentives that push fascists into enlisting?

Honestly the biggest risk to the median US soldier is that they might sprain a finger pushing the kill more kids button too enthusiastically, so the danger isn't going to dissuade most of them, you're better off trying to persuade them of the moral case against killing kids.

How the fuck are you going to help these kids you're so concerned about getting killed overseas if you won't even tell them that the army fucking sucks and they shouldn't join it?

Stop making concessions to fascist framing in a vain effort to make fascists stop yelling at you. It doesn't even work.

The mythologisation of The Troops as this noble group above all criticism is part of how the military recruits. If you concede that there's anything laudable or noble about joining up with an imperialist force that is right now, as I write this, doing mass fucking murder, you are helping them.

if you genuinely are interested in fleeing the US, it’s not that hard to get a visa in the EU as an American, but mostly, it depends on your specific context, education, income, and other options like eg thailand are often financially easier to manage

The depressing thing is that the majority of people have been dismissive of these things in the past as well. People nowadays come with: "It's tasteless to compare it to [insert victim group]!" & you can go check the historic record & see that people back then dismissed it as well.

frothing at the mouth as a Leftist TM to tell trans ppl that we're overreacting and privileged is the ultimate conclusion of absolutely unhinged idpol that rejects material analysis and solidarity with others and uses it instead as a weapon to bully others btw

I also sit and wait for ppl to accuse me of privilege bc I moved to NY when said move from KS drained my savings and was only possible bc my partner financially supported me. this month is the first time in six months that I've been able to afford my rent

these are all Leftists TM btw. they were mad at her bc she's white and privileged and has no right to complain

a trans friend of mine from kansas moved to amsterdam and got a letter over there telling her that her ks license is invalid and she made a post about the parallels to the nazis and immediately she was hounded by cis ppl yelling at her for falsely framing herself as a victim of fascist persecution

my empathy is limitless, and I choose not to give it to people who make the world a worse place for their own selfish reasons.

I have spent my whole life protesting for the rights of the people your government is killing to enter my country and not get deported and you ask my why I chose to close off my heart to the plight of the drone operator?

my limitless empathy almost drove me to suicide and you ask me to have empathy with soldiers because you know veterans that killed themselves?
do you hear yourself?

I am remembering reading an account of an iraqi boy whose brother was killed by americans and crying on a train, 15 years ago, and the words “I don’t believe empathy is a limitless resource” just sound like they are mocking me, because my whole life the whole world has actively hurt, so much

I hate this kind of reductive bs, some leftists do it with class, and some black people do it with race, and it’s just not true, there is no one primary axis of oppression that overwrites everything else 🤷‍♀️

I’ve never seen him say something that didn’t either fall into the category you describe or was just plain wrong liberal bullshit
