    I love this comment. It’s like asking an ant to hold back the tide. The fact it’s said so unironically makes it better.

        I always laugh at this line. What does that make Maduro? What does it make the USSR? What of the hundreds of colonized nations?

        Victims of a mere paper tiger, I suppose.

        Do you really know what we need a spine for? All we do is waste away “organizing” over bullshit. Uninspired, insipid fucking protests, milquetoast bargaining meetings, blah blah blah mutual aid drama drama tenderqueer drama. We aren’t going to save anyone from anything. Not ourselves and not anyone abroad. We will exploit and betray our own sympathies, nothing more. Do not make the error of blaming imperial citizens for not defeating their own champions. We aren’t going to be guilted into dismantling our empire. Do you not know the mountain of skulls we had to pile just to lay it’s foundation? We have only begun to destroy the world as nothing but a paper tiger.

      The fact that that user recognises themselves as part of the country that has been nothing but a cancer in the world, and dislikes it, is already a lot and should be praised. They overcame the propaganda and used their minds and hearts to examine the world. 👍

        We appreciate it, but it materially doesn’t help us outside of the US and it also doesn’t help y’all inside either

            It’s literally nothing, and Americans thinking dumping their feeling into the cyber abyss is “doing something” is a huge part of the problem.

              You’re too negative. You have a country full of people who think it’s okay to carpet bomb and pillage foreign nations because MURRICAFUCKYEAH, anyone who has fought against the indoctrination and thought just enough not to go straight to Hell has certainly done… something. Can’t expect everyone to go full John Brown.

                You’re right. My congratulations to the few Americans that somehow manage to figure out that you’re not the inherent heroes you’ve been raised to believe you are. I guess that is something, sad as it may be.

                  Yeah but don’t let them weasel out of this shit again. Americans breaking their conditioning is good, but the vast VAST majority of american leftists will think thats good enough and stop. They love to operate on their little feelys and feel goods as if akin to action.

                  This shows they haven’t really broken the conditioning that much.

                  Good job recognizing you are fucking evil, now what actions will you take besides voting for a fucking democrat?

          Hey brother

          I’m not sure who you are responding to.
          Me or @corsicanguppy.

          Corsicanguppy was asked to something.
          Corsicanguppy was being defeatist.
          I told him to be like the ant against the grassphopper.
          You’re saying that like ants, they should cooperate.
          To that I say, right on! That’s the spirit!

          If you are so baffled as to why your big brain advice isn’t helping then why don’t you have the sense to meaningfully adjust your expectations?

            I don’t get what you mean? Do you mean I should adjust to celebrate when american “leftists” justify slaughter?

            Is expecting “leftists” in america to organize is too much now?

            Is my bar of expecting basic fucking human decency from americans too high?

            Do you fucking hear yourself? Pathetic doesn’t begin encapsulate it. The justifications you tell yourself and lie you are living sickens me.

              Americans won’t save you. Get over it.

              If you want to stay in the nursery and cry that no one will play pretend with you, then go ahead. I don’t care.

              Yeah, the self-flagellation, defeatism, and guilt are just the ego flaring up in response to reality contradicting the propagandized view of burgerland which we each must destroy in our own minds. None of the three are helpful, yet it seems to be all we have at the moment.
