I guess? It seems like this could really just be a misunderstanding of terms here. When you said power I thinking of power as being something I can exercise or use, especially on or to someone or something. I am explicitly acknowledging that I have the power to do/say a broad number of things that could hurt many people and get away with it, I am aware from statistics that I have access to more financial resources than many people in this country so I have at least some economic power, and I am aware that the majority of that money ultimately comes from exploitation of oppressed peoples here and abroad. This kind of power and others I didn’t list, I have, absolutely. I guess I was thinking you meant something a little more explicit, as you did accuse me of being CIA earlier.
Yeah, the CIA famously hires MLs. Are you seriously claiming that my mild criticism is tantamount to the actions worst criminal organization in world history? Hell, this is the 101 sub, you’re supposed to be allowed to get something wrong. Your constant name calling is one of the most childish things I’ve ever experienced from a leftist. While I’m not judging your ideas by the way you’re presenting them, some people will, and I hope you rethink that approach to correcting people.
You argue for the crushing of indigenous people, you engage in White chauvinism, you attack everyone who has called you out on your bullshit, and you play dumb regarding your passive support of White supremacy by going “well, at least I’m not actively murdering minorities!”
You literally sound like a fucking colonial officer, for fuck’s sake
I do not support any of that and you know as I have repeatedly clarified that. I haven’t attacked anyone, you’ve been the one doing that. I am doing literally everything within my small remit to oppose the US as much as I can, and I elaborate its crimes to anyone who will listen and some who won’t, I’ve tried to organize within all of the small number of orgs that are active in my area and am finally having some success, however limited. I acknowledge openly how I benefit and openly also seek to abolish the system whereby that happens. I want nothing less than the total disestablishment of the United States and all settler colonial states in favor of sovereignty for indigenous people. I want an end to imperialism. I don’t think there should be any quarter for US or Israeli cops or soldiers, including those I have known, they are to the person bad people. I don’t know what it would take to convince you I’m not the monster you are making me out to be at all. If this is how you react to online discussion, I’d hate to know you in real life.
Do you genuinely not comprehend that by having privilege, by being exempt from oppression, as you yourself have just stated, you have more power?

No, see, what I meant is that you are a buffoon doing the CIA’s job for free, and you should definitely apply for a career.

You are a White supremacist and you would fit right in with those bastards
How is that remotely true?
You argue for the crushing of indigenous people, you engage in White chauvinism, you attack everyone who has called you out on your bullshit, and you play dumb regarding your passive support of White supremacy by going “well, at least I’m not actively murdering minorities!”

You are scum and will rot in hell next to Hitler
