Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

'Murricans really love seeing brown people die, right?

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Like to see White Dictators die, mostly. They're coming for Rodriguez.

You know, you should start with the big, orange one then. Maybe clean up your own home before getting on that high horse.

Americans have tried to kill Trump on several occasions. You can buy 8645 and 8647 T-Shirts, even. We hate that fucking guy.

We hate that fucking guy.

Reality doesn't agree. How come he is your president, then? He (supposedly) got there legitimately.

Because external forces, including a group of billionaires as well as Russia and China, held enough social media campaigns to convince 9 million people who voted for Biden in 2020 to sit at home in 2024, resulting in the second Trump term. Since then, things have rapidly declined in the USA and Trump's support has dropped to new lows.

Oh, I see. Of course it was some external agent inflicting this on you. It was some evil cabal of foreigners! After all, how a country so intelligent and civilized could have done that to themselves?

Trump also believes there was no foreign interference in our elections.

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pot calling kettle back? The USA meddles in other countries' internal affairs for as long as it has existed. The USA has couped dozens of countries, destroyed dozens of others. I happen to live in a big country that is Venezuela's neighbor. Your warmongering will eventually try to destroy our democracy again, as you already has done in 1964. So, sorry if I don't feel bad for you, when you say your election was rigged.

I'm not talking about any of that, and for the record, I agree with you on each point. But the reality is that Russia and China have been waging information war on us, and it worked.

I'm not saying there aren't 77 Million racist stupid assholes in the USA, but for you to pretend Cambridge Analytica, to pretend TikTok, to pretend Tankies and other Psyops, don't exist really shows how low your credibility is.

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world -4 points 3 months ago

Psyops exist, but they can only take root among stupid/disenfranchised/desperate people. Your contry is circling down the drain for decades, at least since Reagan. Own up to your mistakes collectively instead of blaming others. Clean up your own shit before assaulting other contries. Maybe, maybe if you fix your own country you suddenly may even see that there is no need or legitimacy to act as world police. Is it too much to ask?
