It’s wild hearing Americans who went on a 20 year genocidal way because they were attacked at home, cheering on others being attacked at home. Your government fucked by country and people, do I get to blow up your family and be cheered?

Edit: never has my indigenous, brown ass received so many DMs with hate, bigotry, and rants about genocide and colonialism from white kids than this year. Without a hint of irony, American hypocrites are trying to lead a movement against war, genocide, racism and colonialism. While you profit from and continue your own atrocities Americans need to get in the back of the line, they are toxic to the movement

I didn't go on shit and I don't support US imperialist actions.

We were attacked at home because of previous imperialist actions, and we would have continued said imperialism whether attacked or not, that was a convenient excuse.
I would understand people cheering and I would direct my anger to the people who caused the retaliation to happen, my own government.

why are you defending America destroying your country and Israel doing the same/trying to do the same to other countries though? This make no sense.

I agree with all of it i just think you Americans need to get out of the way and stop trying to lead the charge, because you guys are toxic and taint the movement with your hypocrisy and extremist attitudes.

You al benefit from your country’s imperialism but you all dodge responsibility and say it wasnt you

I'm willing to be one counterexample in the sea. I am absolutely benefiting from both past American imperialism and the current sales of arms that keeps allowing more atrocities. I used to feel guilt about it, but that didn't solve anything; neither did staying silent. If all the other loud, noisy, opinionated people in my country can't keep their mouths shut, I view it as a minor responsibility to at least make them use critical thinking (if possible). I'm saving your comment to show people irl. Hope you stay safe.

I mean, both the United States and Israel were attacked because of Israel.

Israel deserves the blame because Israel is the problem.

If they don't like it, they can always leave. That would make the world a better place.

The US also deserves blame, given the degree they support Israel

Americans are blood thirsty war hawks. You guys LOVE the idea of bombing someone you don’t like. Even the American left is like this now. So long as it’s not your country being bombed and getting their just desserts for al their genocide, you love war. But anyone attacks you guys for your centuries of atrocities and suddenly it’s WAR WAR WAR

You seem to not be aware that Israel is another settler-colonial project, based on indigenous eviction and genocide, just like the US, Canada, Australia, etc.

I suggest watching these two vids :

Well, yeah.

Supporting Israel is great for the MIC.

(I hope I don't have to say how I'm not one of the bloodthirsty Americans you're referring to)

You assume I was for the 20 year genocidal war? Why? IMHO it was a huge fucking mistake too.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Y’all coming to my continent was a mistake too
