That's not criticism. Criticism would be, since the US tortures and kills more civilians in war than any other modern combatant force, as proven repeatedly by whistleblowers and leaks, the US is not a moral army and shouldn't be allowed to operate a global military network that seems to solely exist to destabilize the global south and ensure white supremacy remains the default mode of thinking.

That'll get you banned on Twitter, that gets you shadow banned on bluesky, that'll get you ip banned on reddit, and will get you demonetized on YouTube.

Edit: also lemmy is as American as an American flag made after 1980

Assuming you're lgbtq and still in the US, based on you being a blahaj user, those ordinary people are going to remove your right to marry, get medical care, or live openly as a member of the lgbtq.

Ordinary people, not evil people, not ideologues.

You need to recognize those ordinary people you trust were the ones to carry out some of the most evil acts, and all of them believed they were doing the right thing for the greater good. Or don't and suffer. At this point some of you class traitors deserve what's coming.

The US government used to take black people, tell them they were getting free medical care, and instead gave them syphilis and purposefully refused to treat it to watch the disease's progression.

The US government, via the CIA, decided to infiltrate every national news outlet in order to influence what stories were published.

Both of these are proven facts, the last one is from declassified CIA documents.

Yes, there are some normal people in government. But the US government has done some of the worst actions of any group in history.

Bringing up comparators is not deflection. And no, you didn't refute my claim. Self defense is not offensive wars. You can be peaceful while being forced into war. Peaceful does not mean no violent, simply not seeking violence.

Nixon created the EPA, expanded the national park system as well as explicitly protected the Everglades from development, and worked to transition from coal to nuclear power. He was the last of the conservativism = conservation conservatives.

There are accounts he primarily did all of this to just ensure his reelection and accumulate political capital and good will, but that hardly changes the fact he was one of the best US presidents in terms of environmental policy.

As someone that actively uses Tiktok, no, no it doesn't remove lgbtq+ content for being lgbtq+. I have no doubts some creators screech about censorship because their nearly nude thirst traps got deleted; but pride is covered every year and at least a few thousand trans creators exclusively owe their treatment payments due to Tiktok giving them a platform and actively boosting them.
