I remember when i was a kid my mom would say shit like “we wouldn’t be in a war if we just bombed the shit out of them til there was nothing left.” They dont see the people living in the middle east as people, they didnt 15 years ago and they dont now. there is zero empathy and its disgusting
It’s just the natural continuation of a mentality that allowed “people” to come to a different land, rape and murder everyone in sight, settle in the graveyard they filled themselves, and still call themselves people, supported by God even. Nothing new, but the fact it’s been over 200 years and it’s still prevalent enough that Trump, the figurehead of Western imperialism and white supremacy, has over 30% approval rate, makes it all very sad. But John Brown existed, so I keep my hopes up that one day, God willing, humanity and the desire for peaceful coexistence will settle in the heart of “radical” Westerners.
Every people has some black stains on their past…but it really seems like white people are the last ones to realize it.
We (white people) are the bad guys.
There’s been lots of bad guys, but for the past millenia or so, white people have been and continue to be the worst.
We’re #1?
I guess what we have to accept is that if we’re not the bad guys, then someone else is and then we are the oppressed. So we can’t just forfeit being the world’s assholes, because somebody else will do it to us!
In my opinion, wealth is the primary driving factor of that. Exploitation and abuse of the bottom by the top seems to occur in nearly every culture that doesn’t put in strict safeguards to neuter the privileged.
The British empire dominated so much of the globe that the white elites advanced to the Olympic level of exploitation, but if we blame it on their color alone, we are leaving the back door open for other ghoulishly rich groups to stand in their place.
I believe the real issue is the aristocratic class. In England, it was determined by heredity, and in America, it is determined by money, but the kind of person who inhabits that role is the same: mean spirited selfish assholes who fundamentally believe they are better than everyone else and that they deserve to get everything they want because the average Joe is inferior to them in every way. They think normal people serve no purpose unless they are serving the needs of an elite.
That attitude strikes me as profoundly anti-human, and I think they should be treated as what they are: a predator that threatens the entire species who must be eliminated for the common good.
damn, just imagine if instead of doing that, they’d exhibited some solidarity(I’m assuming it’s about manufacturing jobs related to cars)?
I bet if Americans had held strikes in response to layoffs OR chosen not to buy foreign cars back then, today their unions would be stronger and their cars wouldn’t be so… wasteful (in many ways). Sure does suck to suck.

In the 80s, Americans sported “Bomb Japan Again” bumper stickers. So being cunts is not new.

Fucking boomers need to die already
That’s why they’re speed-running the surveillance state. The billionaires know full well the Overton window is about to shift on them.
I had a boss who said the solution to the middle east is to nuke it. I thought he was kidding at first, but I don’t think he really was.
