It’s incredible how violent language has become near infinitely more offensive than violence itself for the liberal media class.
That’s something that genuinely drives me crazy. Liberals, in particular USian liberals, take the simple act of the threat of violence thought words much more serious than any real acts of violence, unless it’s being racist for example. Not long ago I remember a post on R*ddit where a bunch of libs where flipping out that a black person punched a racist, saying they were both in the wrong.
The world would be infinitely better if these lib fucks read the first chapter of
The Wretched of the Earth.Fanon might just be the goat, but I’m also partial to Kwame Ture’s “Pitfalls of Liberalism whose take on (anti)violence is much more readable and accessible. An excerpt from that:
The way the oppressor tries to stop the oppressed from using violence as a means to attain liberation is to raise ethical or moral questions about violence. I want to state emphatically here that violence in any society is neither moral nor is it ethical. It is neither right nor is it wrong. It is just simply a question of who has the power to legalize violence.
It is not a question of whether it is right to kill or it is wrong to kill; killing goes on. Let me give an example: if I were in Vietnam, if I killed thirty yellow people who were pointed out to me by white Americans as my enemy, I would be given a medal. I would become a hero. I would have killed America’s enemy — but America’s enemy is not my enemy. If I were to kill thirty white policemen in Washington, D.C., who have been brutalizing my people and who are my enemy, I would get the electric chair. It is simply a question of who has the power to legalize violence. In Vietnam our violence is legalized by white America. In Washington, D.C., my violence is not legalized, because Africans living in Washington, D.C., do not have the power to legalize their violence.
It’s fun to come from a thread where they’re talking about how Americans jump to violence too fast and the context of that was us Americans telling Greenland to get the American oil drillers who are illegally going to start drilling there the fuck out by any means necessary. Love how we were getting told how American we were for jumping to that yet apparently US liberals are the ones that just hate violent language and are OK with violence. sure thing. It really just feels like anything bad or anything negative whatsoever gets blamed on America conveniently while all of your countries are in cahoots with it.
what a weird thing to say
lets look at their profile
CW racistDeath to Amerikkka
i love people making my job title their username for clout
Surely you don’t put fucking Gaza above YOU as a person! This is the stupidest fucking argument. If you don’t care about your own neighbor (let’s say they are just like you) then you don’t give a shit about Gaza. You need to help yourself before others. Come the fuck off it.
i do, actually, because i have a soul. i see my white neighbors who can afford an infinitely better life than innocent men women and children being massacred daily in fucking tents and think “i would do anything to give those people what my neighbors can enjoy by sheer dint of luck of where they happen to have been born.” it’s actually a totally human instinct, you’re just a piece of shit who can’t empathize with people who don’t look like you.
comments in that thread already said it better than i possibly could:
chauvinism is GOOD actually! - lemmy chauvinist
The fuck you talking about? We should stop criticising USians just because other global northerners are also shit?
US liberals are the ones that just hate violent language and are OK with violence
Yes, yes they are. A huge amount of USian liberals don’t care an inch about Palestinians as long as it’s dems instead of reps in charge, for example. And then there’s the obvious example I already gave that you can literally see daily on the internet.
It really just feels like anything bad or anything negative whatsoever gets blamed on America conveniently while all of your countries are in cahoots with it
Wow, I wonder why the empire that runs the capitalist world is blamed for most of the issues in said world.
Besides, as comrade diamath already pointed out, you’re a racist, so fuck off and death to Amerikkka
if you think about it, Americans are the real victims and most oppressed group.
I propose an alternate reading of the situation: Sure, as “americans” (bourgeois proletarian subjects of pedo reich) we certainly are conditioned by our culture to be cavalier about violence, especially violence done to other peoples. But by the same token, that means we also know what other americans are like and what it takes to stop us.
Your advice to Greenland is correct and I would really recommend that you read Wretched of the Earth by Dr Franz Fanon, I think you will like it. And I agree that we should all blame Europe more for shitty things they do in collaboration with the US.
Wait, is Denmark still part of Nato?
Yes and a US invasion of Denmark would be quite the conundrum for NATO
Would it though?
And this isn’t even violent language.
It sounds violent to people who endorse violence (including SA and murder) as part-and-parcel of incarceration
🥰
How do you feel about your role in the defence of genocide and imperialism?
🙈

Hence why we need to shut our mouths and get to work
there is no pit deep enough for Joe Biden, who lied about Hamas beheading babies while the zionists were bombing babies
Supporting
is pro-state cancer. 
Wishing the Butcher of Gaza a long and painful death
Donald McTrump should be in a cell in The Hague… he can sleep all day there if he wants
This is your brain on liberalism
fun fact: multiple war criminals can fit in the Hague!
stacking warcriminals on top of each other like its tetris
See it’s not war crimes unless it’s bombing blonde people in uKKKraine, people in west asia don’t count.
I’ve literally seen liberals admit they don’t care what happens to people living in ‘dictatorships’ to explain why it’s okay they only care about Ukraine, putting aside entirely it’s America’s politics, weapons and militarily backed allies that people living in those ‘dictatorships’ are suffering
Tell them Ukraine is also a dictatorship lmao. They killed zelensky’s biggest political opponent, claiming he was collaborating with Russia, some time after they revealed he was actually innocent and they even knew he was innocent when they killed him. Every opposition party has been banned.
😠
Fine, fine, Joe can die at home. Give us Blinken instead.
Anyone got a link?
I have endless problems with the Biden administration, but also you’re a real piece of shit.
Unfollowed.
I saw a rumor Caitlin was ACP; please, dear god, tell me that’s false?
Lmao sounds like some lib fearmongering, there’s been an organized hate mob made out of NATO “leftists” against her for nearly a decade at this point trying to smear her. They also call her a Kremlin stooge, etc. It’s just a bunch of lies, like it was with Assange
Isn’t she Australian? Why would she be in an American party?
The ACP is also the Australian Communist Party but idk if they really have any members left. I think they renamed themselves recently.
I just didn’t think that one was anywhere close to one as bad as the American version
