You can tell this is fake because the USA soldier would shoot the child as well
It’s always the same story.
Imperialism, and blindly following authoritarian regimes. To end this evil, we need to get rid of authoritarian regimes, support freedom, free independent press, and thinking instead of following what’s done in the government.
We can replace the USA flag with Israel one, or the one from Russia, or China, or one of many other countries that are exploiting Africa. Sad but true.
I wish to all the authoritarian countries to start revolution and get rid of the oligarchs. USA, ruSSia, Israel, China, and many many others. Without the revolution, humanity will fall.
lame me, I posted critical memes on Lemmy, I did all I could!
They already killed around 70+ children in a girls elementary school. So shooting the kid is accurate
Don’t blame me, I posted critical memes on Lemmy, I did all I could!
Edit: I have some mixed feelings about this comment. Let’s cut the snark and actually think about what we can do to stop this madness. I hope everyone is checking in with their local orgs to see what actions can be taken.
Dont blame me, im one of the victims of your fascist empire
Americans are also a victim of it. But we do have more agency (and thus responsibility) in reducing its harms.
I will note however that there is probably something that can be done from anywhere in the world. We live in an interconnected world. The fascist empire exists in part because the world allows it to.
You vote in a fascist or let one in and the blame the world. You all deserve to be the victim and shunned by everyone.
“Let one in”
What do you think I, personally, should have done to stop Trump that I did not do?
I get you’re angry but this is a braindead political analysis. The US is a highly undemocratic country. Very few people wanted this to happen.
I can only speak to the person who posted this meme and made the headline blaming people who voted for Kamala
Yeah I thought the headline was silly as well. I’m not sure what Kamala has to do with soldiers murdering people today. Maybe she normalized it with her positions and statements but she’s never had particularly much influence over any US military actions, and people who voted for her had even less.
The point being made is that a lot of Democrat voters limit their action to simply voting Democratic and lying by claiming the Democrats are lesser war-hawks, when historically both parties are fundamentally the same in perpetrating death globally. The post title is mocking the soldier in them using “I voted for Kamala” as a defense for his actions, i.e. I didn’t want this to happen so I voted democrat. Also, the joke could be taken further as a “Just following orders” theme, given the soldier voted against this and didn’t want it to happen, but still committed the war crime as ordered.
I thought you had the 2nd amendment to prevent this.
It’s balls that’s needed, not some amendment.
Nah that’s only for the fascists. See Alex Pretti vs Kyle Rittenhouse.
Bars.
Yeah, fuck those Jews for letting Hitler take office. They got the showers they deserved.
You can say whatever you want to try to dilute and deflect any criticism, but to us outside the empire, we simply can watch the news to see who is the real problem
What criticism? You can’t even criticize me because you know nothing about me lol
I already acknowledged Americans have a responsibility to stop this so I don’t even know what your objection is.
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.
I’m just making a statement about slacktivism. I don’t have a problem with criticizing American troops.
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.
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?
Everyone wants to play the victim. No one wants to do the hard work to protect the victims. Human nature.
But whining about it online doesn’t change shit. I guarantee you the real victims aren’t here on Lemmy.

Are you kidding me? What do you know about Salamence’s life, situation, or actions? What gives you the right to lecture like this?
The fact that they’re lecturing us from the same position lol. That’s what made me want to comment in the first place.
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.

the same position
Salamence:

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

Solidarity is good. But people in the imperial core can’t expect solidarity if they don’t give it.
calling for everyone to work together
Really? From this reply you made clear what you want is to share the blame
We live in an interconnected world. The fascist empire exists in part because the world allows it to.
Surely no “leftist” is going to get incredibly mad about this good post in the comments.Wont somebody please think about the war criminals of the Epstein Coalition?
And surely no “leftist” is going to get incredibly mad when I say:
“Authority breeds violence. Death to all authority, states being the best example of them. Death to states, of which the US is the most powerful and most destructive.”
I’m sure no “leftist” is instead going to propose creation of a “leftist state”, employ exsoldiers of the previous capitalist state and then justify war crimes by those soldiers under the name of “liberation”.
This is a left unity comm, not an anarchist comm. Different opinions on the nature and purpose of the state are allowed and expected.
So I’m not against what you’re saying (and maybe I’m taking the bate here) but are you implying anarchy is the only way to be free? If so, why use the term “leftist” at all, as it encompasses many ideologies, of which anarchism is one?

This is funny and insightful because soldiers of lefty governments never kill innocent civilians. /s Gawd this campist garbage is braindead. This would be a great comic for a pacifist sub, but what’s it got to do with leftism?
Campism is when you criticise the Soldiers of the Fascist Empire apparently
Is that what your headline is doing?
Dumb take.
It’s YOUR take.
Your interpretation of my comment was a bad take.
There wasn’t really any “interpretation”, it’s just what you said.
Nope.
Why are you so mad that the American military has been criticized?
Am I really? No, I am annoyed that leftism is being hijacked by nationalistic idiocy. Criticize the US military all you want, but if I can slap the name of literally any other country on the same cartoon, the criticism isn’t exactly pointed. (or interesting)
Criticize the US military all you want
Salamence did and you’re complaining about it.
I made my criticism clear. Having no answer to that criticism, you assumed a motivation that didn’t exist and attacked that.
I made my criticism clear.
You’re here crying that someone criticized ameriKKKan soldiers for being monsters and your justification is that other soldiers do it too.

“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” Your fascist empire is destroying the world, yankee. Don’t go crying when people take offense to that.
I’m not crying and have no problem with criticisms of US troops or US military actions. This particular criticism is dumb as fuck though.

Except when people make them, then you get angry and say things like…
This particular criticism is dumb as fuck though.
This particular criticism is mocking the common excuse americans will give for why they have no choice but to sign up to murder innocent people: “I just wanted to pay for college”. The point is that it doesn’t make a difference to the victims. It’s a good point.
