    As much as I don’t like a lot of things done by America (or most countries for that matter), this is kind of cringe?

    I’m an American. I’m a pacifist.
    I’ve never murdered anyone. I’ve never even picked up a loaded gun.
    I stand against foreign interference, foreign regime changes, and military intervention unless specifically requested by a defending nation.
    I’m against the death penalty. I support common sense gun regulation. I vote for the political parties who will cause the least harm &/or death, globally.

    …and you still call me a murderer? For being born here? Fuck you, OP.

      I hope you don’t mean the other side of bipartisan coin. And who the hell requested your military intervention without your consent manufacturing?

        I vote for whichever candidate will do the least harm and support the most progressive policies. Bipartisanship isn’t a thing in the US when both sides are of the same right-wing coin.

        Are you implying that, in the course of world history, no country has ever -while being attacked or invaded, asked another country (or specifically the US) for help with military defense? Ever? Even if there has never been a case of non-“manufactured” consent, then I would still support coming to the aid when/if it ever did happen.

        Honestly, it seems to me that you just want to argue with me about it. Why? I’ve just stated that I’m an American pacifist and so I don’t like being accused of murder, and you want to turn it into a thing. Seems silly.

    And how do you react when someone spells it R U S S I A? If that’s hurtful or “propaganda”, check yourself.

    I agree Trump is evil. America is not. It is a nation, and because it is run by humans, it does nasty shit just like most others. I hate it, but demonizing a whole population is not helping.

      The US Empire is the world’s largest and most brutal plunderer, exporting genocide and terrorism while siphoning off the wealth created by the global working classes. Trump as an individual is a symptom of that, not an outlier.

        Yeah, that’s what I was doing… /s

        I guess you’re on board with demonizing people based on the location of their homes. They don’t deserve to be treated like decent humans? You’d spit on them just because they came from America? Interesting.

      The individual people may be good, but the systems in place are not. Just like other countries. Exploitation, power grabs, authoritaianistic tendencies etc are a problem. Along with dehumanization and general short sightedness by so called leaders (political , business and religious). Things are coming to a head, and something has got to give.
