          There’s some good people in the streets, mainly from the black and immigrant community, but I suppose these people are not really considered “American” there…

              I’m not judging you. My initial impetus for my comment was to say that I hoped all of Amerikkka would be nuked. Then I remembered my comrades there, including the indigenous people I forgot to mention earlier. We have to give them a fair country…

              And maybe that means killing most of the white population there.

                  I’m sorry sis; but this is the one place I disagree with you. I don’t disagree with the “not assigned racist at birth”; but where I disagree is that I don’t think those maladaptive teachings ever will ‘come out in the wash’. Not without every single person who COULD pass on racist teachings to potential offspring going child-free or otherwise dying before they could conceive; and cutting it off at a generational level.

                  For every out, loud, and proud bigot in Amerikan society, there’s two dozen of the vermin under the nearest rotting log. I see it as the older brother to the incel movement; you can ban an incel off every mainstream social media platform on the planet, completely silence him, and he’ll still find somewhere to stew with those of like mind. It’d take a catastrophe of size that has never been seen in this country, and a coming together that couldn’t be imagined for me to believe that there’d ever be revolutionary potential in a white Amerikan.

                Can’t include the people that Amerikkka already purposely excluded, so they weren’t targeted by your comment? Idk how to phrase it better rn.

                    Anyone who isn’t white, cis, and heteronormative is excluded to some extent by American society. If they aren’t treated as “true” Americans, then you saying you want to nuke Americans would already exclude nuking those that Americans themselves chose to exclude.

                    I just meant you didn’t need to explicitly say you wouldn’t also nuke comrades.

                That actual racism out on display lmao. Replace white with black, indigenous, Jewish and you’d be banned in a second. You people are fucking deranged.

                  Reverse racist rhetoric? Where have I ever seen that? Oh, in white supremacists.

                  Do you know why I would be banned if I exchanged white for absolutely any other ethnicity? Because, historically, it was the white elite that went out to exploit the rest of the world and created racism as a “scientific” justification for doing so. So, for any eventual “oppression” (OMG, the Call Me Mañana on lemmy.ml said that for my country to be fair the majority of the white population would need to die, I’m so scared) against white people be considered racism, you would have to rewrite history (and that’s what white supremacists do, by the way).

                  Ignoring all historical context and making this bullshit claim is easy. Replace “X” with “Y” is NOT a valid argument.

          Disco Elysium is so good that I even liked the “ultra-liberal” character. Only the fascists (minus René and Measurehead) and the Coalition guys are really impossible to like. But that’s because they were so well written.

                    Taking 100 reál from him doesn’t even constitute theft, the contrast in his wealth is so great that he literally bends the light. 100 reál is less than a penny to him. He could have financed the RPG guys until the end, with all their absurd goals, without even feeling it. This kind of “robbery” isn’t even satisfactory, since it doesn’t cause any damage. And I actually felt terrible taking those 100 reál, because simply pretending to be a liberal is already too much for me. The fact that the game actually counts it as an ultra-liberal speech makes the feeling even worse.

          I plan to divide it into foreign occupation zones among future communist nations, like Germany, but this time done properly (no capitalist part). And then I would keep it that way long enough to de-Nazify it (at least a thousand years).

      This is amazing. The mental gymnastics necessary is mind boggling.

      Let’s say Trump and Biden are equally terrible for Palestinians but Trump rolls out a plan to pull out of Ukraine. Using the logic above, shouldn’t all Dems vote for Trump since he’s quantifiably less terrible?

      LOL. What fucking losers. It takes no effort to realize all sides are bad and we’re all fucked. Just own it. You can even still be a shitlib like my mom. Just realize it’s 100% bullshit.

        You misunderstand where their heart is on Ukraine. They don’t want Ukrainians to live, they want Russians to die. Their problem with trump pulling out of Ukraine isn’t “more dead Ukrainians”, it’s “less dead Russians”. This is why when you suggest Ukraine should take a peace deal to stop the war as soon as possible, you get the whinging and handwringing.

            Nope, it is our logic and not theirs. We want fewer dead people. Going by what liberals say about russia, they want more dead people. We only shit on Biden because he is not actually the lesser evil. Communists have made united fronts with many actual lesser evils before. Hell, even our critical support of many countries qualifies as lesser evilism. What makes us different from the liberals is that our perspective is significantly broader. We do not consider the genocides to be a lesser evil in any capacity.

          They don’t want Ukrainians to live

          Still remember reading incredibly ghoulish takes saying “This war is good because we’re severely damaging Russia at no cost in American lives.” Just outright admitting that they consider Ukrainians expendable.
