No? What did I say that made you think I'm a trump supporter? I'm criticizing folks for celebrating harm coming to their fellow Americans.

Mostly it's the regurgitation of radical propaganda.......

No? I'm honestly not sure I understand your question about the civil war.

The civil war parallel was made because you are parroting propaganda that's been endemic in the South for the last 150 years. That the war wasn't about slavery, that the North just hated rural people's culture.

The parallel throws me off because the point I'm making is Dems are maybe not "just as racist" as Rs but the fact they're proving latinos were seen as pawns to be used when the Dems platform was basically everything Rs wanted while Trump was in office (minus family separations.

Ahh yes, because a minority of of internet strangers have some bad takes, the two parties are basically the same.........except for the little caveat of family separation and interment camps thing, and even though Trump's main campaign promise was to immediately deport everyone he can.....

There's certainly parallels to the civil war, the Northerners absolutely did not like it when free black American citizens first started to move there when fleeing terrorism I'm the South.

And how is that a parallel to modern times? Pretty sure there were sanctuary cities all over during Trump's first presidency.

That's how we got red-lining and the modern for-profit prison system.

You're talking about two separate times in history separated by a hundred years of lived history. After the civil war, before conservatives torpedos reconstruction, black Americans actually gained a lot of economic and political power. Redlining and the modern prison system were a reactionary response by conservatives to desegregation.

I am absolutely not doing what you're saying. Let me know how I came off that way. I'm trying to be as specific as possible here. People that are celebrating bad things happening to their fellow Americans. Stop. That's it. That is gross, to me.

You just so happen to be parroting several different pieces of propaganda used to falsely equivocate the both sides argument popular among accelerationists and radical conservatives...Interesting.

Our people didn't vote. Because of that we celebrate latinos being deported?

Who is our people?

Wish this could be a light conversation. This is truly not that serious. It's a chat on fuckin lemmy (imagine this place is huge one day. lol)

I wish we could just have a light conversation about the fascist said the German to the Jews......

It's almost like even tangentially supporting fascism isnt a light hearted conversation?
