    “The Trump Administration” is a terrorist state. You’re blaming the wrong people if you think the citizens who march in the streets everyday against this villainy are the perpetrators of this violence. Be better, please.

      A drastic increase in military funds to Israel took place during the terrorist Biden regime:

            Many of us are fighting against this regime

            There are more employees of ICE than activist opponents of the American regime

              That is not in any way a counter to “Many of us are fighting against this regime” sorry. You won’t be taking our work away from us. It’s killing some of us.

                    They mean that you talk big about “our work” as activists, all while you’re here spending your time and a not insignificant amount of your energy posting about a non-issue.

                    Look, I’m going to level with you here under the assumption your heart is in the right place and that you really do do some actual activism. First of all, you’re making this shit about you in a post detailing the mass murder of school children. You (when not posting cringe on lemmy) are really in the streets protesting against the murderous, imperialist, genocidal actions of the United States? Good! Keep it up, though I hope you’re doing so as part of an organization. But it is hard to imagine that you really are when you’re here, thinking it’s important enough to argue the “not all whites men USians!” line.

                    Even setting aside the fact that directing your indignant energy towards yourself and demanding others do the same, like you are the aggrieved party in a post about the bombing of children in other countries is cringe… Literally no one who says “the US is a terrorist state” is implying that every individual between Mexico, Canada and the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is a terrorist, or that every single one of them condones the terrorism that the US is committing, or even that some of them aren’t actively in opposition to it. What you are arguing about is not relevant. And what’s more, it’s petty and self centered.

                Any “resistance” worth anything needs to begin from an understanding that this administration is unique only in it’s honesty about what it is.

        Then I’ll permit you to say “The Trump Administration” is a terrorist state or “The Biden Administration” is a terrorist state.

      Trump didn’t build the thousand military bases abroad that engage in terrorist bombings all throughout the world.

      Oh please average Americans have been openly calling for this for decades and celebrated when they finally did it. Your crocodile tears fool no one and you’re only protesting now because the current administration was a little mean to white Americans as well, you never gave a shit about what Americans did to anyone else, not now, not ever. Before this was y’all celebrating the “liberation” of Venezuela, Iraq, the Banana Republics, and on and on and on. You brush aside any civilian casualties with a handwavy “well I for one didn’t want that to happen” and then pretend everyone else criticising you on it are the problem, yet you keep cheering on the military strikes for regime changes themselves as if they’re separate isolated things. Even now you’re more concerned with how people criticising Americans need to “be better” for how they phrase their criticisms because it’s apparently a worse crime to hurt your feelings.

      Fuck America and fuck Americans.

      OP said ‘the US state’, not ‘people of the US’.

      Not to be against distinctions and clearly this administration is insane. But I agree with the rest that it is not a one time thing. The imperialism has been there for decades. Chile 73 just to give one.

        You are countering a point I did not make, good sir. I said don’t blame the citizens. We’re fighting and dying in the streets to stop this regime. Why are you pointing out the timeline? I didn’t mention it
