        I mean, I disagree. You said a shitty thing and you believe genocide is a positive thing. Like I said earlier, everyone on the internet gets a voice, even the really ignorant and evil people. I’m glad you’re privileged enough to be afforded the ability to say very stupid things like that though.

        Edit because I forgot to add the 💋

          Again, insisting that people are calling for genocide especially after clarifying the meaning of the phrase is just bad faith at this point. You can argue it’s unclear or bad optics, but it’s not calling for genocide. It’s calling for the end to the systems that produce mass death and exploitation.

            I’m not down with the phrasing my guy. Nothing you say will make me say death to any country/group is remotely appropriate. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you can and do say it. I’m more glad I can and will say you’re wrong for it.

      Doubling down on the permissibility of nationalism for a country that’s committed atrocity after atrocity is a shitty thing to do point blank period

        Nah dawg I’m not going to say death to America regardless of what you say. I will hold that using a phrase like that is ignorant, privileged, harmful and stupid. To give a real answer, my family came here from Syria and Ireland. In both instances to escape violence and persecution. I consistently work to better my community and am able to do so. I regularly act to make tangible improvements on a community level, unfortunately I don’t have the power/resources to do so on a global level. I don’t like a lot of the foreign policy the United States employs. However, I disagree with you on a fundamental and spiritual level to a degree that can’t be put to words.

          “How dare you condemn the genocidal imperialist US! Don’t you know that I, personally, benefit from it?”

            Thats true I am the only one to have benefitted historically. I can disagree with foreign policy without saying death to America.
