  • Once again, this is another ridiculous take that once again only serves to shift blame to the working class. The American people are not a fucking monolith. What you’ve done here is taken an example or two of things that vaguely happened and have generalized an entire population with those examples with non sequiturs stitching everything together. It’s a giant claim to say that “Americans have demonstrated zero capability to reign in their ruling class” on top of it being a very vague claim that certainly appears to have the tools ready to put some wheels on a goalpost. So I’m gonna go ahead and point out that for one: you’ve made the same sweeping generalization as the parent comment that you already admitted went too far. And also, you’re still making the same fundamental mistake with the sweeping generalization in that it’s not only inaccurate by its very nature, but counterproductive by further dividing the people already victimized by those in power. Don’t blame it on the American, don’t blame it on the jew, blame it on the fucking system.


  • … bro, this single comment isn’t even internally logically consistent. You very clearly don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to what systems are and how they relate to people. You need to get off the internet for a bit or something. This was not a coherent response in that I’m not even sure how to engage with it. Like… yeah, war crimes are bad and way too many American troops got away with them, but what does that have to do with the rest of the population and their complicity in the systems of war perpetuated by those in power? And then the leap to religious… stuff? Also, what the fuck is “the bag”? And why are you claiming I “believe” in only that? Also, what the fuck does that even mean?

    Look, the only thing I can think to respond to you is that I think you’re very outraged by what is happening (which, like, yeah, any rational person would be), but I think you might be letting your outrage cloud your judgement and direct your anger in the wrong direction. What’s happening certainly is impossibly outrageous, but what can you and I do about it right now? Fight others in the working class about it? Well, that sounds like making it worse. How about we don’t do that? Take some time to cool off?


  • Maybe, just maybe saying dumb shit like “death to [country]” is oversimplified bullshit that only serves to distract from what/who the real fucking enemy is. It’s the people in power that send the masses to kill each other on the battlefield, literally sending the working class to fight itself. To say that the people of America(or any country) are the system is a fundamental breakdown of understanding what the fuck a system or people even are. To equate a voting population as 100% complicit with every decision their government makes is beyond dumbfuck baby bullshit. The system is what is fucked, and the people in power are who perpetuate and make that system worse. Your dumbshit take is nothing short of insane and if I weren’t all too aware of the lunacy people fall into with online algorithms, I would be convinced you’re just another fucking troll. Although, tbf, the American government could use some unhinged takes online like this to justify more bullshit world policing.



  • Oh, your English is great and legitimately feels natural, because I think you’ve communicated your point quite well. I can’t really dispute much of anything without sounding like I fundamentally agree with you, but I do have a seemingly small/semantic distinction that I think is important; I don’t think America’s primary core issue has been education or overbearing religious douchebaggery, but this weird extreme epistemological weight given to every individual’s opinion. It’s similar to the bullshit fuzzy philosophy the nazis would use to justify their ideology by insisting everyone should respect their deeply held beliefs. While I don’t think your assessment is perfectly accurate, I do very much believe it shows you’re paying way more attention than the average American.


  • It really is just simplistic bullshit that seems to trip them up, isn’t it? As a passionate lover of philosophy, I’ve come to a pretty good understanding of the sheer magnitude of what it takes to be considered an “expert” in any subject. And, hoo boy, my radical commitment to what is true has only served to illustrate to myself how much I lack in understanding… pretty much anything. I’m not one of those jackholes who do that smarmy-ass “I know nothing”, so I’ll admit that I understand a hell of a lot more than the average person in political theory and general pragmatic governance. So it’s both infuriating and baffling to me how often the average ‘right-winger’ decisively demonstrates how little they understand any political subject they have no business holding such a strong and certain opinion on. And really, that also applies for most people willing to talk politics in America. Like, how the fuck are people’s opinions so fucking strong for how shallow their position is???


  • Right, climate change, the thing that boomers caused and definitely not these huge corporations perpetuating a system making humanity dependent on fossil fuels. It was a generation defined by generally common experiences and not some dickheads on the boards of fossil fuel corporations covering up and then spinning up a disinformation campaign against the overwhelming evidence of anthropogenic climate change. No war but class war; know your enemy.
