This is like hearing “Land Back” and thinking that means deporting all white people. Completely disingenuous and ignorant misreading of an increasingly common phrase.
Im not a big fan of the phrase “death to the USA” being increasingly common… You don’t think that phrasing is ignorant? It’s also the definition of disingenuous if you’re saying it but don’t literally mean it. I guess if you identify as a violent extremist its not a bad phrase.
Common Sense Business As Usual is when you genocide other countries, pump everybody full of microplastics and collapse the biosphere for imaginary money
Violent extremism is when you want to stop the people doing that
The fact that many phrases aren’t meant literally, especially as their use increases in frequency, is a frustrating fact. I wouldn’t call people using a phrase with a generally understood meaning is inherently disingenuous though.
The trick is, it’s not a commonly used phrase. The chunk of the English speaking world that hears ‘Death to America’ and thinks ‘As peaceful as possible an end to the malign actions of the american government and it’s supporters’ is tiny. The vast majority of people just hear it as hate, and even a fair sized chunk of the people who are shouting it are shouting it in the literal, hateful sense of ‘kill the Americans.’ You can’t tell which is which without a conversation, and shouting ‘death to’ is not conducive to letting people have the conversation that would let them tell the difference between a person who wants fewer murders and one who wants more.
Yeah, it’s sort of a slogan to some people, but it’s a shit slogan. “Free Palestine!” means ‘free Palestine.’ "End apartheid!’ means ‘end apartheid.’ “Death to america!” is ambiguous, at best, and only serves the interest of the American propaganda wing by letting them claim everyone is out to kill Americans because they are American, making their actions into justified self-defense. Don’t help the propagandists. Don’t support the narrative. Supporting their narrative is supporting them. I don’t think that’s what you want.
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.
You would deserve it but no, it means death to the concept of the USA, death to the government, death to the constitution, death to the settler colony on stolen land.
all you have done in your life since maturity is attempt to increase the number of stolen labor hours you can accrue from the global south. you are a worthless parasite lacking some of the most important human qualities #yup
That’s the kind of thinking I expect out of authoritarians. To punish not only the person but their family and future generations if any of their family. Sins of the fathers kinda shit too. Heh, I doubt they are truly indigenous to the area they live and wonder what indigenous think of them and their ancestors.
Don’t be ridiculous. The problem isn’t limited to Americans. It would be approximately 14% of the human race. Unless you think sitting on your thumb during a genocide exempts you from being tar-boiled in hell (for some reason)
I’d be curious to know what you would do to stop it if you lived in a country whose government was supporting a genocide. In fact, I wonder what country you live in and what you do to oppose any atrocities its government might be committing.
When you say death to the USA, do you mean 340 million people should be executed? Just cause, you know, thats what it sounds like…
the meme does say they hate all usamericans

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

Man, people are right, those from .ml have really bad takes.
So useful.
You don’t know a thing about me aside from the country I was born and live in. I’m genuinely a pretty cool guy 💋

Last I heard, OP is an anarchist, and is explicitly stating their opposition to the genocidal settler-colonial empire.

Indeed, nobody has even been banned from the significant parts of the internet for saying that, and I am completely serious.

asking me how I intend to stop you from committing genocide seems like bait. pretty obvious answer
Ahh, you’re a troll. Got it.
I see you have failed to adapt since being socialized on Ghislaine Maxwell’s favorite website
