I reject all of this particularly this idea I’m demanding people play by my rules. I get it, people are going to rightfully hate me for running a computer during the wars. And that’s not to minimize what running a computer can mean during an occupation. What I am taking exception to is I’m uniquely guilty and should be thrown into a torture chamber.
Every American here my age is just as culpable as I am; and i am, but where’s the outrage? It’s just self righteousness
There is a very broad amount of guilt on Americans for our role in our genocidal state. Our exact point is when you say there is a degree in which you can strike back at someone that was a subject of one of those many instances by your metrics (because I doubt the user you cursed at thinks you were justified there), you’re saying there is a degree in which any or all of us are justified in the same privilege!
If you hear “death to the IDF”, is an IDF soldier justified in saying, “Well actually fuck you, cuz all Israelis are kinda guilty! You can’t just criticize my role”
Are black people not to call their distain for KKK members, or politicians, or whatever other fucking white-supremecist contributor or beneficiary for their specific role in that system?
“Um actually you can’t say you hate the white conservative because the white liberal also contributes!” -White Conservative
^ according to your logic they’d be justified for yelling at a black person who said bad things about white conservatives if they seem it too far.
You’re policing what parts of the apparatus people that are attacked by it are allowed to focus their criticism!
I don’t know how many ways I can put this: you don’t get to decide what is acceptable categorization for someone who was a subject of your oppression to criticize or rebuke you for! This applies to soldiers, politicians, citizens, it doesn’t fucking matter! If they wanted to say “death to the American proletariat!” and we all started going “but, but, but” we’d be just as guilty of doing imperialist work as you. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen others explain it too you in various so I’m pretty sure you just don’t want to get what we’re saying.
Deflection deflection deflection. The core of crackerdom.
The entire idea that your “fuck you,” as a reaction towards that comrade was in any way justified was defining the boundary. You said what they said was, “too much.” By definition, for something to be too much, there has to be “enough,” and defining where that is, is defining the bounds between too much and enough, thus defining a boundary.
And you’ve done nothing to me for an apology to come this way.
I’ve told my story elsewhere on the site. I thought I was just signing up for a normal job and I resigned the second I realized it wasn’t. I don’t expect forgiveness but that’s what happened
I’m not trying to make anything worse just trying to help people understand the path people like me took, but if it’s too much I will shut up for a while

Actually, if you noticed, that’s the exact point!

Missed where I tried to define the boundaries of acceptable dialogue but okay, if I did that I’m sorry. If people wish death on me I get it.

Okay enough I’m done here, hope we have better interactions elsewhere
Ciao.
:fidel-salute: for engaging so persistently and with principles, calling out the bullshit.
only if they joined the military
You think that’s not true?
yes, i do believe that am*ricans that joined the imperialist military are more culpable in am*rican imperialism than am*ricans who did not

i think you should probably log off for a bit, you don’t seem to be doing great and continuing this spiral is only going to make things worse
