  • I don't think what you're saying here is unfair. I will also point out that the intentions of troops matter little to their victims, which I think is really the point the meme is making.

    How I feel rn: 😮‍💨

    Yeah, me too.

  • I’d rather talk about how we get out of it.

    That's fair and good, but people (especially victims of the US empire) also have a right to post about how we got here, including just to vent. The first step to fixing things is knowing how they broke. I think trying to tell Salamence that there's shared blame here between victims and bystanders or perpetrators is counterproductive to this goal.

  • OK, thanks for explaining. But this is a meme comm, so people post memes on it. It's not a place where you can engage in real activism, that's not what it's for.

  • I mean the title is clearly directed at random American civilians, not just military folks. Although yes, they are ignorant about people who are in the military too.

    Is this seriously a reply where the first sentence attempts to avoid seeming like a defense of soldiers while the second sentence is an overt defense of soldiers?

    Really? Is it that clear? Don't soldiers vote for Kamala too?

  • Salamence made a post with a meme criticizing American troops who murdered people in the third world. That's not a position of ignorance, everyone knows what happened there.

  • What criticism? You can’t even criticize me because you know nothing about me lol

    You're replying pretty defensively to a meme criticizing American troops. If it's not about you, then there was no need to reply.

  • The fact that they’re lecturing us from the same position lol. That’s what made me want to comment in the first place.

    the same position

    Salamence:

    Dont blame me, im one of the victims of your fascist empire

    Clearly not the same position. You assumed the person posting was in the same position, which was incorrect.

    But it’s fine, I was trying to get past that with my edit calling for everyone to work together. But I guess as usual leftists working together proves impossible. Big part of why the world is so shit.

    Solidarity is good. But people in the imperial core can't expect solidarity if they don't give it.

  • Everyone wants to be a victim. No one wants to do the hard work to protect the victims. Human nature.

    But whining about it online doesn’t change shit.

    Are you kidding me? What do you know about Salamence's life, situation, or actions? What gives you the right to lecture like this?

  • They shouldn’t be willing to be follow someone actively and blatently committing treason.

    He's really not doing anything out of the ordinary for the American Empire, unfortunately.

  • Victim of American empire:

    Dont blame me, im one of the victims of your fascist empire

    (Presumably) American:

    We live in an interconnected world. The fascist empire exists in part because the world allows it to.

    Are you kidding?

  • "Death to Israel? So you want to kill all Jews?"

    Jump

  • They view racism as an idea from which material forces arise, rather than the other way around.

    Btw, one of these crackers copy pasted the I Have a Dream speech to prove that anti-white rascism is real.

    lmao

  • You got me, Mossad agents want you to understand whiteness.

  • "Death to Israel? So you want to kill all Jews?"

    Jump

  • I liked your explanation and thought it was good. I'm confused by multiple people in 2026 commenting and voting in a place called "leftymemes" not understanding such a basic concept as "racism requires privilege".

    You can tell it's true even by thinking about it quickly without any deep analysis: a definition of racism based purely on prejudice would treat "cracker" and the n-slur at categorically equivalent, which is obviously ridiculous.

  • "Death to Israel? So you want to kill all Jews?"

    Jump

  • Oh, no. To clarify, I was quoting from one of my previous comments that user replied to in the same thread, above where we were currently discussing. It was an "as I said".

    Edit: I literally said "as I said" before the quote.

  • "Death to Israel? So you want to kill all Jews?"

    Jump

  • No, "Frankly I usually just default to saying fuck the Anglo-Saxons." appears to be an attempt to say that's an equivalent or better statement than saying "white people" because being "racist" against white people might hurt actually marginalized groups. That's not true and I explained why.

  • "Death to Israel? So you want to kill all Jews?"

    Jump

  • The fact that "white" once excluded "Irish" under certain conditions doesn't make anti-white racism real.

  • "Death to Israel? So you want to kill all Jews?"

    Jump

  • This makes no sense. A lot of non Anglo-Saxons are as white as Anglo-Saxons. As I said:

    the distinction between “white people” and “white skin people” makes it clear that the boundaries of “white people” are in effect defined by who is not a target of racism

    If I understand your point correctly, it's that some people who are sometimes in the category of "white" can be victims of racism in some situations because they are on the margins of whiteness. That's true, but it doesn't make racism against white people real.

    Saying "racist" things about white people is not racist against those on the margins of whiteness who are sometimes conditionally white, such as Slavic people. You can be racist against Slavic people in certain contexts by saying racist things about Slavic people (and generally in those contexts Slavic people are not treated as "white" because that's what "white" means), but not by saying "racist" things about white people (which isn't possible).
