In America the fascist state apparatus arrests you for being upset about a foreign country committing genocide
Can't wait for every racist liberal to let me know I support baby beheadings because I want people freed from a concentration camp!
Attempts at nuanced discussions about topics like the Ukraine war or Taiwan that don't immediately tow the state department line seem to always get dismantled by emotionally charged responses like that.
When I see remarks like this I ask myself, why should I care?
It always come off like an attempt to refuse critical thinking and fall back into a Marvel good vs. evil worldview.
It’ll be different for a lot of people depending on which brain worms they internalized the most. Learning the truth about Cuba is what did it for me, finding out Fidel is one of the biggest chads to ever exist and that our country and its puppet state are the only votes that keep an ongoing genocide active really got to me.

It always helps when it’s an actual discussion instead of a bad faith debate
I'd almost consider it like an online anxiety lol. Mustering up the strength to not revert back to being a lurker after not expressing a thought succinctly and powering through the posting to stamp those worms out.

Been lurking for a few months but this is first online space I haven't gotten those fucked vibes from
I'm still getting through my list of theory so I don't feel confident joining certain conversations yet but I'd like to think being open-minded to deprogramming all the western propaganda bullshit I've ingested over a lifetime has helped me discover this community
