White people get even the slightest taste of what america is and does abroad, and shit their intestines out onto the floor. They won't learn any lessons and will allow this structure to continue.

more news at 7

I get the sentiment, but this is defintely stinkier, larger shit than the status quo of the US and downplaying it as its been this way for 50 years is somewhat dangerous messaging.

Americans are so painfully and pathetically uninformed on their own history. It's genuinely disturbing.

While I understand how you feel, you gotta think about how news gets reported.

Republicans aren't so far off when they talk about the "liberal news media". The news reports democrats failings significantly less, or frames it using more neutral language than how republicans are reported.

During bidens presidency I literally never heard anything about deportations, yet he did deport a significant amount of people. More than the amount we've seen from trump (so far).

No matter the justifications, the tone, or the methods, deportations still happened, and currently more of them happened under both Biden and Obama than with Trump. People most certainly were hurt and/or killed in that process too.

The number of deportations aren't the major problem here, it's the nature and methods they are using.

WHO BUILT THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS FIRERETARDANT?!?!?! WHO BUILT THEM???

HMMMM

Great question to google if you dont know the answer.

We used to deport 4.6 million people with DIGNITY! 😤

Give me a fucking break. ICE shooting 2 people is worse than dropping 635,000 tons of bombs onto Korea 🤣

Grow up.

Have you considered those two were white, though?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world -5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Some crazy whataboutism. Both are bad. Why are you making it a contest?

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 hours ago

You're right, there's no contest. One is millions of times worse

[–] humanamerican@lemmy.zip 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

ICE has killed at least 9 people just since the beginning of the year. US bombs have slaughtered thousands of Palestinians, Iranians, Yemeni, Russians, etc, since Trump took office.

Maybe you should grow up?

ICE has killed at least 9 people

“It was actually 9!” Wow 🤣

Oh my god thousands of people!? Geez, imagine if America ever did that in the last 70 years… Unheard of!

Are you always such a prick?

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Convincing Americans that the people they murdered are real human beings is exhausting and demoralizing. Sorry mate.

[–] humanamerican@lemmy.zip -1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Convincing random internet dickheads that they're being dickheads is exhausting and demoralizing.

I think my position is a lot more important tbh.

[–] humanamerican@lemmy.zip -3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Well, based on what you've said so far, your position is that

  • Saying Trump is worse than the average American president somehow implies that The USA was never bad until Trump arrived
  • All Americans are responsible for what our government has done, including shit it did before we were born
  • Being upset that our current president is terrorizing us at home means we are immature

I contend that your position is asinine.

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I can see how my position would be pretty upsetting if you just make up a bunch of shit. Poor fella…

[–] humanamerican@lemmy.zip -2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I didn't make any of that up. Go reread your comments.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

You absolutely made that up

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 9 points 14 hours ago

In a broad sense, yes this is same shit different day, but it's unique in that the Imperial Boomerang is coming back around and impacting your average gringo lib.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 14 points 15 hours ago

Both can be true though, although the whole idea of a "dictator" as a type of political leader can be more of a hindrance of one's analysis than a useful category.
