    edit: downvotes won’t make these things go away as much as you’d like them to. cope and seethe. I know this kind of nuanced stuff is hard for you chuds

      Oh you mean things that I, an American (anarchist), complain about constantly? You forgot Waco, The Tuskeegee Experiment, MK Ultra, MK Naomi, COINTELPRO, Wounded Knee and SPEEDING! Ok that last one was from Liar, Liar, but still, as an American I point to all this and more as to why one can’t trust government, and our current government has yet to make me and my entire family disappear about it, funny enough. I may not trust them but there are clear differences.

      Tell you what, why don’t you blow up a pic of the Kent State Massacre, make it into a sign, take it to Kent State, and use it to protest the US gov.

      Then make another sign, with this picture

      and take it to Tiennanman Square to protest the Chinese government. See which one treats you better.

        Yep. There’s a large difference between a nation who says “it didn’t happen and if it did they deserved it” and one that says “yeah we did some fucked up shit. It was fucked up and bad”

        Coming from someone living in a “Western” country that genocided the native population (guess which one!) that will either not admit it, will say “that’s what happens in war,” or just start screaming incoherently, this is incorrect.

          …or just start screaming incoherently…

          I hate when I’m trying to talk to my friends, family and co-workers and they all start screaming.

          That’s why these days I wear ear protection because once you lose hearing you’ll never get it back again.

          I learned about the genocide in school. They definitely did not paint the Westerners as the good guys. So I would definitely say that this “Western” country admits it.

                That’s very right, good job! Unfortunately though, nothing in my comment said that US is equally bad as China. China has its own horrific and unjustifiable travesties, and the US does too.

                Every single country does terrible shit. Just because it’s a different flavour of awful doesn’t make it more or less awful in general. As much as Americans would always like to have things as simple as BAD GUY and GOOD GUY, reality is pretty much always more nuanced than that. Not my fault that the people here only know a western-centric capitalist viewpoint.

      We don’t get arrested when we talk about these things.

      And that’s the difference. Stay butthurt ❤️

        Not getting arrested means that your actions are absolutely no threat to those in power. Revel in your impotence.

        Edit: Speaking of impotence, here come the downvotes LOL

        No, we just get arrested and killed when we protest and act against the government’s wishes.

        But keep spouting off about your freeze peach, my glutes aren’t hurting a bit 😉

      Yeah, that’s a list of well documented horrendous shit that everyone knows about because our media is more or less functional and access to information isn’t as restrictive as some other places.

      We recognize the horrors of all of those.

      Cope and seethe, numbnuts.
