    That’s not what we’re talking about here lol, america is the global hegemon, and because of that they are uniquely equipped to mass produce death, destruction, and misery.

      I don’t know if you have been paying attention since 2016, fuck since 9/11, but America is not THE global hegemonic power anymore. And hasn’t been for a long time. And it is what we are talking about here because you. Have laid out a laundry list of things that America is surely guilty of and want to murder Americans and I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of just singling out America as the only hegemony with a list like this. As if it were the only country doing/having done these things. Sure it’s a whatabout but within this context it’s a very important whatabout.

      Just out of curiosity where are you from?

        What the fuck are you talking about murder Americans? I said death to America, is America a person? America is a country. Your country needs to be sanctioned out of existence and balkanized.

        Wow what a surprise, you wanna know where I’m from so you can try and make me feel shitty about the things my country has done. Let’s stay on the topic of how shitty America is, please. Start your own comment chain if that’s not to your taste.

          I don’t need you to feel shitty about where you live.

          Death to America is a slogan that doesn’t exist in an innocuous vacuum where it translates to balkanize America (which would be utterly catastrophic for everyone like we were talking about.)

          And I would like to know where you are from. I am very very familiar with how shitty America is. I am not however familiar with you, where you are from, or if you are even a real person.

          I would prefer to see my country reformed. Not sure that’s going to happen. But you want to destroy America and think that doesn’t involve killing Americans than I don’t know what to tell you.

              Well you’ll get your wish with the climate crisis on the horizon. But it’s not just gonna be America. And everything we’ve just trudged through will seem quaint.

              Dicks to your mom. Cheers.
