sorry what? i made a small post saying that i don’t like how everyone always focuses on the bad shit america does while ignoring the shit that other countries do, i dont really think its a revolutionary stance that america is not the only country that does fucked up stuff. im also incredibly confused as to what the fuck you mean in that nonsensical second paragraph, i never said that all countries were equal in their level of evil, and when tf did i mention putin? and commiting domestic terrorism? what the actual fuck are you on about? more importantly there is literally NO need whatsoever to react like that. “full-throated support of american imperialism” gimme a fucking break, did you even read my post? because im fairly sure i said that I THINK AMERICA IS NOT A GOOD PLACE. when did i say i support american imperialism, please point it out to me because i genuinely have no clue where you got that. i fucking hate america, i hate its self-righteous idea that its the only country to invent fucking freedom, i hate its moronic gun laws that make it so that theres more than one school shooting every fucking week, i hate its government and legal system that systematically targets minorities which leads to hundreds of brutal murders of people just trying to live their lives and imprisonment of innocent people just because theyre black, but most of all i hate its IMPERIALISM. i hate that it constantly gets involved in countless conflicts across the globe, causing millions upon millions of deaths and is still championed as the greatest country on earth (by its people and absolutely no one else might i add). but guess what? OTHER COUNTRIES DO THAT TOO. THAT WAS MY ONLY POINT. certainly not to the same degree but still, they do it. im sorry but without the help of the US, the majority of these conflicts would still be happening, maybe less badly but still ongoing. its a stupid idea that without the US the whole world would be sunshines and rainbows like no, these conflicts would be happening with or without the US intervening. the saudi-yemen conflict was not caused by the US, it was caused by instability and a dissatisfaction with the people in power. the situation in palestine was caused by a belief that a jewish ethno-state was needed, leading to apartheid and countless people being stripped of their property and homes. the azov battalion is a small force of only around 1000 troops and does not control any part of ukraine, and is certainly not the fourth fucking reich. none of these things were caused by america apart from iraq and afghanistan, yes america HELPED and is still helping but it didn’t cause them. and also if you wanna talk about being morally wrong DONT FUCKING COMPARE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS. the conflict in yemen and the conflict in ukraine are both rife with war crimes and human rights abuses, don’t try and tell me that one is worse than the other, THAT is morally wrong, fucking comparing international conflicts what the actual fuck. and the idea that china is not as evil as the US? huh? first of all the idea that one country is more evil than any other is stupid and doesn’t do anything, and also CHINA IS LITERALLY COMMITTING ANOTHER FUCKING HOLOCAUST AS WE SPEAK, please don’t try and tell me thats not happening. its not a competition of oh this country is worse than this one or whatever, its not a fucking evil leaderboard of what country can commit the most human rights violations. clearly you just wanted someone to argue with for some fucking reason but may i suggest next time don’t just make up random points and pretend your opponent has made them because it just makes you look like a bit of an idiot.

“You can’t just blame America for everything.”

Like I understand the sentiment, but the fact of the matter is that if you did have as your base assumption the idea that America was in some way, shape, or form responsible for every bad thing happening in geopolitics at any given moment, you’d only be wrong, like, 20% of the time.

i hate people who think that their opinion on anything should have an impact on other peoples lives. like if you think abortion is wrong and life begins at conception, JUST DONT GET AN ABORTION. your personal opinion on something shouldn’t affect others ability to get that thing.

Bodily autonomy, for those unfamiliar with the concept:

Even if life begins at conception, the law has no business making abortions illegal.

Let’s say I have a child who is … let’s say 20 years old. Let’s suppose that my 20 year old child needs a partial liver transplant, and I am the only match. There is an argument of moral obligation, sure, but if I choose not to partially donate my own liver (they grow back! it’s not like a kidney), that is not illegal.

Let’s say I’m DEAD, but did not consent to being an organ donor while I was alive. Guess what? 20 year old child is still not getting that liver. That’s because my DEAD BODY has rights.

You can be the sole person that can keep another person alive by using a part of your body that won’t harm you by giving it away. (Your blood or your bone marrow for instance.) You can choose not to give that part of your body to keep that other person alive. The law does not get a say in this decision. That’s because you have a right to bodily autonomy.

So, should a human in possession of a uterus have less rights than a corpse, or should a fetus have more rights than any other human being?

i think that america is delusional and fucked up beyond belief (literally corruption is LEGAL there) but like people who say that oh we can blame america for everything are the same sort of people who ignore everything that other countries do that is also fucked up and literally just focus on how terrible america is. like yes america is very very messed up. but literally so is everywhere else.

I know this idea of “ohh humanity is terrible and irredeemable, people are bad by nature” is very popular these days, but I have to say I’ve never agreed. It’s like saying every squirrel is inherently morally bad, it doesn’t make sense. Humans are just another species of animal on this planet, and just as I love every animal, I love every person. I think every person has such a capacity for love and feeling and belief, I am not exaggerating when I say that I love you. I always have and I always will.

sure! maybe the u.s. lied about and/or caused mass death in iran, japan, cuba, korea, vietnam, syria, afghanistan, iraq, lebanon, the ussr, venezuela, chile, bolivia, yugoslavia, cuba again, china, palestine, lybia, yemen, 60 other countries, the u.s. itself........ but! -and hear me out here - maybe this time they're telling the truth & they really have the interests of people and democracy at heart :)
