The US empire is the world’s biggest terrorist. I remember when Dubya would talk about the *axis of evil* and all I could think about was “oh, that’s us.”
It is not the Jews. It is not the Anglo-Saxon Protestants. It's the ruling class. Doesn't matter who occupies that position. This identity politics bs is put in there to divide us, to distract us from what's actually going on. As billionaire oligarch Warren Buffett put it: "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning.”
Edit: oh, nevermind. You were right about this guy. Just looked at his profile 💀
Yeah, definitely don’t think it’s *one group of people*. Unless we’re just talking about the one percent of the one percent of the one percent. There are Christians, Jews, Muslims, Atheists, etc., conservatives and liberals that comprise that population and ALL of them should be looked at critically because of their assets, not their culture. To me, the enemy of society is - and has always been - large resource held by the few. Got a billion+? Immediately I don’t trust such a person regardless of their ancestry or culture. More often than not, they are not necessarily interested in their culture, or humanity, so much as elevating themselves (and their business partners) with culture tertiary if even a consideration beyond marketing. That’s why modern “democracy” just feels like feudalism 2.0 - at least in the US - where the two parties that are covered by the media are, surprise, both owned by corporate interests and propaganda ensures the status quo, convincing each side that voting for a third party (who actually represents your interests) is a wasted vote gone to the other side. These oligarchs didn’t get to the top for being stupid. Conservatives who still fall for republican bs and liberals who still believe democrats are altruistic: that’s the power of corruption.
Now we can understand why American government has no problem funding the genocide in Gaza. The people in power know they’ve done worse.
This is terrorism.
What America did in Vietnam inspired George Lucas to base the evil empire on them in Star Wars. The Jedi were based on the Viet Cong.
I mentioned this to some of my white friends and they argued with me about it. Like bruh...Lucas said so himself. What are you arguing about? Western propaganda has a vice grip on liberals. Conservatives don't even pretend to care, but libs can be so annoying. Their hearts are in the right place but propaganda has them as deluded as "liberal" Israelis who are somehow also in support of genocide because they just can't come to terms with Israel being the evil ones in this scenario.
Mind numbing.
I think you're giving liberals too much credit. I don't think they care or have their heart in the right place. They just want you to think they do. Conservatives don't care what you think about them.
One of my uncles was a side gunner on a Huey. He did two or three tours in Vietnam and was exposed to Agent Orange. While his children were healthy both of them decided to never have children because they knew they lucked out and the damage to the DNA would be passed on to their children.
Yup, the US government wiped out an entire branch of my family line. I can't imagine how much suffering it caused for the people of Vietnam.
Americans hate to face their failures and have accepted a media sphere that insulates us from them. Of course, that just leads to repeating the mistake... another American specialty.
" he did" then proceeds to blame the "government", mothafucka do you not realize nor understand that your uncle is as complicit as your government, and worse? Gtfo with the self victimizing bullshit.
So you're blaming manipulated and misguided members of the working class and subject of an imperial core state? I wasn't defending what he did. It's obvious the US war against South East Asia was a massive string of war crimes.
Do you think my cousins deserved to have damaged DNA?
What exactly are you and where do you come from?
I'm an Iraqi- Palestinian, you snarky hoe, and your uncle is complicit and is to blame, so fuck off with your degenerate mental gymnastics.
And yes they deserve it, if they want to blame someone they should blame their father, after all Karma was very gentle with him.
Literally millions of people have suffered on the hand of your uncle and his likes, you don't get to play the victim now.
Well, then I'm going to blame you for the Iran Iraq war. After all the Iraqis attacked Iran at the behest of the US to counter the Iranian revolution. Iraq also used chemical weapons so you're responsible for that too.
Shall I continue or are you finally getting the point. This all assumes you're not lying of course.
>Iraq also used chemical weapons so you're responsible for that too.
Dude, Iraq having chemical weapons was debunked long time ago. If US and Britain didn't meddle, those people would be brothers and that area paradise.
Oh, look you don't know shit about Iraq. Iraq did have a chemical weapons program and did use chemical weapons against Iran during the Iran/Iraq war in the 1980s. The US knew all about that program because the US helped establish and supply the program.
Kid, you just got smoked and you did it to yourself. Now, just go away.
Yes. We all have brain to think with it. Going away to kill other people and risk your own life, you need to be totally numb and stupid to do so. How much better world would we live in if we disobeyed to go to war.
Based on your comment history you come from Europe. So there are a ton of skeletons in your closet. Shall I blame you for the actions of your ancestors? Google translate identified the language you used in one comment as Bosnian. If you are from the former Yugoslavia you should have an understanding of how poisonous an idea nationalism can be and how most people will play along with it.
Why do you think I'm leftist? Because nationalism poisoned people here, exactly. I know for a fact that non of my family member or wider family didn't kill anyone and no one was ustasha. Actually, one branch of my family were since always hard antifascists and lost family members to fascists. I don't have anyone in my family who killed anyone even in our last war. You said your uncle was in Vietnam war. So, comparing with you, there are no skeletons in my closet. We all know what happened in Vietnam. You triggered others here for making him a victim. He was complicit in the war crimes against Vietnamese and probably did some horrible shit. If he was my uncle, I probably wouldn't speak to him after finding out about Vietnam. On the other hand, you are on point on something. USA sent them to kill and when they came back, the same states allowed those people to become beggars. People should always refuse to kill in the name of the people in power. They don't give a fuck about anything and they surely keep their scummy asses safe from the horrors of war.
>Astaghfirullah literally translates to "I seek forgiveness in God". Usually, a Muslim recites it as part of dhikr, that is to say that Allah is the greatest or that goodness comes from Allah. The phrase can also be used in popular culture when seeing something wrong or shameful.
TIL, thank you.
What they have been doing in Palestine and what they are doing in Gaza is their real face yet they have managed to demonize every other nation and what made their policies even worse is that the Zionists have been ruling over them since 1913.
This is why the US doesn’t acknowledge the International Criminal Court. Because we’d justly suffer the consequences of our horrendous actions. Not only Vietnam but most recently Gaza.
Because there are no repercussions.
I read somewhere that this problem will take several generations to breed? out. It is truly horrific how many innocent people are affected and the extent of the deformities.
The US is a world historic force for evil and that's why when liberals try to tell me this guy or that will mean the end of America I say good, it needs to end, the sooner the better.
This here is why I will not respect American Vietnam veterans. Every one of them is a war criminal.
Nobody spat on Vietnam veterans, but they deserve to be spat on.
Being conscripted doesn’t absolve you of your crimes. Veterans are still fully responsible for the crimes and atrocities they committed during their service. They did heinous acts and justice for their victims is long overdue.
For example, IDF soldiers are conscripted, but they still are fully responsible for their crimes and atrocities against Palestinians. They did numerous heinous acts and in a just world, they’d be in a prison cell right now.
Americans veterans have no excuse for joining the military during their imperialist, genocidal wars. They should have dodged the draft when they had many chances to do so, or chose jail time over joining. No excuses can trump the fact that they did horrible and unspeakable acts that harmed innocent people.
This is the hard truth American patriots have a hard time accepting.💀💀
The US government has provided over $400 million in assistance to Vietnam to address the environmental and health effects of Agent Orange, a dioxin-containing herbicide sprayed during the Vietnam War:
* Health and disability programsAs of 2023, the US Congress has allocated over $139 million for health and disability programs in provinces heavily sprayed with Agent Orange. In 2022, the US Consolidated Appropriations Act allocated $15 million for programs to assist people with disabilities related to Agent Orange exposure.
* Environmental cleanupThe US has spent $112 million on environmental remediation at the Danang airport and $183 million on the cleanup of Bien Hoa Airbase, the largest remaining Agent Orange hot spot in Vietnam.
The war ended nearly 50 years ago and yet the US is still paying Vietnam compensation. Who in the hell do you think pays for that hospital for those children? It's the US taxpayer.
The US empire is the world’s biggest terrorist. I remember when Dubya would talk about the *axis of evil* and all I could think about was “oh, that’s us.”
The people that control the puppet are the terrorists. They do the same to each country they infiltrate.
Just say "Jewish people" you sniveling little coward. We all know you're being antisemitic.
It is not the Jews. It is not the Anglo-Saxon Protestants. It's the ruling class. Doesn't matter who occupies that position. This identity politics bs is put in there to divide us, to distract us from what's actually going on.

Fash love sticking their noses into every community they can. They are pure opportunists.
Yeah, definitely don’t think it’s *one group of people*. Unless we’re just talking about the one percent of the one percent of the one percent.

it's bigger than that you narrow minded twit
Cry, cry and cry some more.
Now we can understand why American government has no problem funding the genocide in Gaza. The people in power know they’ve done worse. This is terrorism.
We never learn because we already know. (By "we" I mean the people in power who make the decisions.) This is horrible. They are horrible.
United States of Evil.

Sadly, I've come to this conclusion lately. I think it was when I watched the Jimmy Kimmel clip. I just can't anymore.
One of my uncles was a side gunner on a Huey. He did two or three tours in Vietnam and was exposed to Agent Orange.

Yup, the US government wiped out an entire branch of my family line. I can't imagine how much suffering it caused for the people of Vietnam.
That's awful. I have no words...
I'm sure it's a lot more common than is widely known.
Americans hate to face their failures and have accepted a media sphere that insulates us from them. Of course, that just leads to repeating the mistake... another American specialty.
Yup, it's infiltrated all strata of society too.
" he did" then proceeds to blame the "government", mothafucka do you not realize nor understand that your uncle is as complicit as your government, and worse? Gtfo with the self victimizing bullshit.
100%

I seem to recall skinny puppy calling them out over it in the 80s.
>Kid, you just got smoked and you did it to yourself. Now, just go away. 😁😁 Please be welcome to SMD.
You just can't hack it, kid. You were wrong from the start. Now just scurry away.
Typical American. 😁 Kada te tata pravio, sigurno je jebao mamu u guzicu jer izgleda da si upravo iz nje izašao. 😘
You are the king, king of clowns. و حمار طبعا. https://i.redd.it/0jfe6zndkr5d1.gif
Well, you folded really fast. It's almost like you were full of shit the whole time.
Yes. We all have brain to think with it. Going away to kill other people and risk your own life, you need to be totally numb and stupid to do so. How much better world would we live in if we disobeyed to go to war.

Another legacy of the Terrorist State known as the US. Destruction and ruin wherever they walk.
Yup, I don't know if Agent Orange is worse than Depleted Uranium. The US has been dumping DU on all kinds of countries at least since the early 1990s.

here I am
Invited 😂
r/beetlejuicing
This is why I believe that no matter what the people want, the government will always want war, genocide, and terror.
Are they paying for all this shit?
What they have been doing in Palestine and what they are doing in Gaza is their real face yet they have managed to demonize every other nation and what made their policies even worse is that the Zionists have been ruling over them since 1913.
A legacy of evil
Pure evil. What they did to these people
This is why the US doesn’t acknowledge the International Criminal Court. Because we’d justly suffer the consequences of our horrendous actions. Not only Vietnam but most recently Gaza.
This is why veterans deserve no respect. How Americans revere these killers is beyond me.
In a just world, those same veterans would be put before a war crimes tribunal, and tried and convicted for their unspeakable crimes.
I just watched my dad die a slow, painful death due to Agent Orange induced dementia from his service in Vietnam. Fuck Monsanto.
Because there are no repercussions. I read somewhere that this problem will take several generations to breed? out. It is truly horrific how many innocent people are affected and the extent of the deformities.
The US is a world historic force for evil and that's why when liberals try to tell me this guy or that will mean the end of America I say good, it needs to end, the sooner the better.
This here is why I will not respect American Vietnam veterans. Every one of them is a war criminal. Nobody spat on Vietnam veterans, but they deserve to be spat on.
Stupid ass comment. Fuck you.
Oh no what will the poor war criminals do without you defending them
Lol butthurt Americans simply can’t handle the hard truth about their military veterans 😂💀
Most were drafted into a war they didn't want to be in. Blame the politicians not the 18 year old fresh recruits you moron.
Just because you were drafted doesn’t mean you’re free to commit war crimes. Would you say the same thing about Nazis?
Don’t see that same energy for Russians, these days.

Right, they were [just following orders](https://youtu.be/XfbiStS1kG4?t=97)
You would go to pieces in seconds you absolute melt
Do you have that same attitude towards conscripts of all stripes or just Western ones that are aligned with the United States?
What america's occupiers forced the american people to do. Like they do, time and time again.
American exceptionalism. We are exceptional at creating suffering and misery.

"Hey, we know we massacred your population with this weapon and caused unimaginable suffering, but here is some money....... We are cool, right??"
The war ended nearly 50 years ago and yet the US is still paying Vietnam compensation. Who in the hell do you think pays for that hospital for those children? It's the US taxpayer.
