American people try not to inexplicably talk about the USA challenge (impossible)

Okay. Done.

Aye, exactly, international community. And yet every thread, on every bloody website in the world, has an American chiming in to discuss their country instead of the country at hand.

It’s so prevalent it even has a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_arrogance

It’s not disrespectful to point out that what they’re talking about is so tenuously relevant to the post as to be irrelevant.

They replied in a polite manner and explained their position. I upvoted it. I downvoted their original comment because it’s not relevant.

This didn’t happen in the US. There is nothing about this story related to the USA. Not every story has to have an American perspective. Capital punishment fixes nothing.

The imperialist war in the Middle East is spreading. The genocide of the Palestinian people by the murderer-state of Israel continues with the support of the USA, NATO and the EU. The US-Israeli attack against Iran, the war flare-up in the Strait of Hormuz, the attacks on ships, the blockades, the militarization of maritime passages, all show that peoples and workers are being pushed deeper into the abyss of war.

Our ports themselves are on the front line of this conflict. They want our hands to load weapons, to serve their armies. They want the infrastructures built with the sweat of workers to become bases for interventions, blockades, genocides and attacks against peoples.

YSK that this post would be more fun with YSK at the beginning of the title.

Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.

America has democracy?..

Since when?

As of this comment you’re sitting on 14 downvotes.

13 of them are visible on Lemvotes and they look naturally occurring to me. Granted I didn’t bother opening profiles to check their likelihood of being human though.

I don’t think it’s a bot.

Interesting thing I noticed in looking this up though, Andy Yen doesn’t have a Wikipedia page.

Far-right senator banned from leaving country as supreme court judge’s ruling makes reference to money-laundering case

The far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro was banned from leaving Brazil and ordered to surrender his passports just hours after his dramatic loss in the presidential election to the leftist president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The ruling was issued by supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes, the same justice who oversaw the trial of the senator’s father, the former president Jair Bolsonaro, for attempting a coup.

Bolsonaro posted a video saying the decision was based on an interview his brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, gave last Friday urging his brother to leave Brazil if he lost the election.

OpenAI and Samsung appear to be working together according to this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/26518108

After largely peaceful demonstrations, police fired tear gas and water cannon

I just thought this line could do with highlighting.

The major news outlets only dominate because Americans consume them.

Independent media exists. Private Eye here being a perfect example. It prevails because British consumers purchase it and similar independent media.

Your comment implies Americans are powerless to change anything when that’s far from the truth.

P.S. I and many others hate the US for far more than mere brain dead bigotry based on a junk food diet of algorithmic hate. It has caused unquantifiable death and suffering around the world for decades.

Solarpunk is only down for technical reasons.

And Scotland. And Wales. Ireland isn’t the only country to be colonised.

Deaths?! Typical bigoted speciesism!

Nay, we but transform humans from their anxiety riddled, money dominated, fear obsessed form into a form which is at ease with living in the natural world. There is no death, but marvellous transformation.

Wouldst thou call the changing of a caterpillar into a butterfly, death? The caterpillar undergoes a gory transformation, and yet, it is deemed a wonder of nature resulting in astonishing beauty. My kind are the same. Butterflies of human kind, transformed via gory means. The next evolutionary step of the great apes.

Apocalypse only in the original meaning of the word, revelation via divine authority!
