    Tbh, my comment got removed from worldnews.ml just for saying it makes you look extremly bad to be celebrating the deaths of US soldiers in yet another senseless war. I believe the average .ml user to be 15 years old.

      You’re simply wrong. Celebrating the deaths of those who voluntarily signed up to be fascist stormtroopers raping, pillaging and war criming their way across the periphery is entirely reasonable. Especially for those of us outside the white supremacist western empire who the stormtroopers are intended to be sicked on.

        You’re making everyone here look like a callous asshole. Your mistake is assuming those who sign up have a good understanding of what they’re signing up for. They don’t know. Their sin is ignorance. I will never celebrate the death of someone in their early 20s or younger who doesn’t know any better and you shouldn’t either.

          I am not sorry for having no sympathy for imperialist stormtroopers. In the internet age ignorance is not an excuse. Should rapists and murdered in their early 20s be let off with warnings? Obviously not. Please take your clean wheremacht nonsense elsewhere.

            You have no idea what you’re talking about. You sound like a Christian damning the ignorant to hell because they never heard about Jesus and never thought to look. They don’t know. No 18 year old from middle America is going to find information on US imperialism unless they look for it, and there is nothing in their lives suggesting they look for it.

              Yeah again not going to feel sorry for murderous rapist stormtroopers just because they’re little mid 20s children who don’t know right from wrong. Please stop with your clean wheremacht nonsense. You condemn the Nuremberg trials as well I suppose the Nazis didn’t know any better they were just following orders and surrounded by propaganda right?

                  The one who needs to check their privilege is you who is obstinate in downplaying and sweeping under the rug the horrors of your stormtroopers abroad so you can cry about how evil it is for victims (and would be/soon to be victims) to feel relief that they met justice while in the act of perpetrating said horrors.

              No 18 year old from America should be raping pillaging and murdering their way across the middle east. Don’t you think that’s worse than condemning them?

                Yeah, you’re right. No 18 year old from America should be raping pillaging and murdering their way across the middle east.

                Don’t you think that’s worse than condemning them?

                What? If some American kid is raping pillaging and murdering anywhere they should be punished for those crimes.

      US soldiers are not “uwu smol beans” just trying to get free healthcare.

      They don’t deserve praise or sympathy for doing their job, which is to further the goals of US imperialists. They deserve accountability and scorn for every drone strike. Every blown up family. Every fucking village they’ve reduced to ash. They are not precious victims. They are the boot on the neck of the world. They are the monsters the children of the global south wake up to at night in terror.

        Unlike you and most people trying to convince me every US soldier is a stormtrooper for the empire, I have family in the region and know people directly affected by this war.

        I never said that US soldiers are innocent, I just don’t celebrate them dying because I think human life is valuable. Edgeposting online feels very cool but doesn’t do anything to end this conflict. If you were so against US imperialism you would do things like protest at home and tell you representatives you’re against it. Demonizing soldiers online is just childish and immature.

        More US soldiers dying will also not let the conflict end sooner which would be the best outcome. Those dozens who have died so far will be replaced by others.

        Doesn’t seem to me like this is an extremly pro-US position.

          This does not work lol

          What, after 3 of these NoKings “”“protests”“” that there was no change whatsoever? The frog costumes doesn’t convince anyone. 3 paragraph signs doesn’t convince anyone.

        They don’t know they’re the fucking boot. I won’t give them praise but I will give them sympathy. They don’t know what they signed up for. They’re kids born into an echo chamber of American propaganda. They don’t know what they’re doing. Nobody at that age does. Don’t celebrate their deaths, they’re victims too.

          That quite literally doesn’t matter. Being fucking stupid or ignorant or whatever you want to call it is no excuse to be the bloodthirsty murderers of the world.

          Why are you here defending Jack booted thugs from slight criticism?
