elilla&, autostopowiczkado you think USA people will at some point realise they were already the villain before Trump
"the US have become a dangerous country" "US is now a rogue state" "US may become a terror state" bestie I got some news for you
I mean don't get me wrong, I'm not comparing the USA to rogue states that have like, unstable theocratic regimes sitting atop nuclear weapons and who have repeatedly invaded their neighbours with death squads without provocation or seised entire countries by force against the will of the locals—oh wait sorry I was looking at the history of what the USA did to America
I find it so amazing this attitude of like:
USA: dang, that thing I did was really fucked up huh
Nicaragua/Hawai'i/Haiti/Cuba/etc.: yes it was
USA: my bad 🙇
Nicaragua/Hawai'i/Haiti/Cuba/etc.: are you going to, like
Nicaragua/Hawai'i/Haiti/Cuba/etc.: do something
Nicaragua/Hawai'i/Haiti/Cuba/etc.: about the fucked up thing you did
USA: water under the bridge right folks \_(ت )_/
USA: btw you're in debt
USA: pay me
not just the USA too, every colonial country in Europe is exactly the same. substitute Germany for USA and Poland for Latinoamérica and you see what a joke it is the monument to Polish victims of the Nazis in Berlin (they delayed it so much that they put a rock instead of a monument) (in the distant year of 2025) (I'm not making this up, it's literally a big rock as a "temporary monument") ("millions of European Jews died in the concentration camps" what countries were the millions of European Jews from? (untitled goose meme) what countries were the millions of European Jews from motherfucker?!)* (Poland pays more with upkeep for the German concentration camps in Poland as memorials than Germany has ever paid Poland in restorations, like, ever, btw)

Trump: I can just go and take Greenland whether they want it or not!
USA folk: this is unprecedented
Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, Mexico:

purple's a fire marshal first aider@elilla it's unprecedented how often the US does precedented unprecedented things
Asta [AMP]@elilla the US even still has explicitly legal slavery baked right into the constitution. What a wonderful nation.
Tyla (Combat Waifu Yuri Arc)@elilla oh my god I was reading this and thinking “wait but…oh, that was the bit.” 🤣
Jessica Rooster@elilla I think this every time someone laments that the US Justice system has lost "credibility" just because they find themselves on the edge of the spotlight of white personhood

@elilla One could hope but I find it unlikely.
eilidh, sus took her home@elilla i suspect if anything it will bolster the narrative that both pre- and post-trump USA cannot be the villain because "at least not trump"
a very similar thing is happening in so-called canada right now. just a few years ago canada was actually slowly coming to terms with doing indigenous genocide, but now nationalism has never been higher in my lifetime and those same libs that had "every child matters" signs in their lawns now have shit like "Thanks Trump for making Canada great again"*
*actual real sign in my neighbourhood. the T in trump is shaped like a tesla logo.

Jay Grant 🏳️⚧️@elilla nah. this is a nation that lies about how it was founded on equality for everyone but in reality has only ever been for the rich white man
occurrentThere's a very concerted effort to keep people critical of imperialism out of the media, out of academia, and away from power. So you don't hear those perspectives spoken publicly as often. But believe me, many people know, including people who don't consider themselves political. There's a lot of dissent that doesn't get media attention, but it's definitely there and has been there for decades.
paramilitary organizer@elilla who are you referring to with "USA people"? there are lots of folks who know that. there are lots who never will.
Alathea@elilla I don't know about the younger generations, but white kids who grew up in the 1900s were fed the line that, yes, the US WAS bad, and we're still dealing with the legacy of that, but we're getting better! We learn, we grow! We elected a black man as president, so that proves it! 🙃
No-one showed us how the US never stopped being awful. And if we caught a glimpse of it, it was easy to dismiss it as an aberration. A temporary blip on our path towards a More Perfect Union.
