    That is why public or state run universities should have their tuition fees paid through taxes instead of military service. If you decide to attend a private university, you are on your own.

    It’s always the same story.

    Imperialism, and blindly following authoritarian regimes. To end this evil, we need to get rid of authoritarian regimes, support freedom, free independent press, and thinking instead of following what’s done in the government.

    We can replace the USA flag with Israel one, or the one from Russia, or China, or one of many other countries that are exploiting Africa. Sad but true.

    I wish to all the authoritarian countries to start revolution and get rid of the oligarchs. USA, ruSSia, Israel, China, and many many others. Without the revolution, humanity will fall.

    lame me, I posted critical memes on Lemmy, I did all I could!

        Chinese imperialism mainly happens within its borders (see: Xinjiang and Tibet); doesn’t make it any better. To be clear China is the lesser of these evils, but whether what it’s doing technically counts as an “invasion” doesn’t have much to do with that.

    Don’t blame me, I posted critical memes on Lemmy, I did all I could!

    Edit: I have some mixed feelings about this comment. Let’s cut the snark and actually think about what we can do to stop this madness. I hope everyone is checking in with their local orgs to see what actions can be taken.

        Americans are also a victim of it. But we do have more agency (and thus responsibility) in reducing its harms.

        I will note however that there is probably something that can be done from anywhere in the world. We live in an interconnected world. The fascist empire exists in part because the world allows it to.

          You vote in a fascist or let one in and the blame the world. You all deserve to be the victim and shunned by everyone.

            “Let one in”

            What do you think I, personally, should have done to stop Trump that I did not do?

            I get you’re angry but this is a braindead political analysis. The US is a highly undemocratic country. Very few people wanted this to happen.

              I can only speak to the person who posted this meme and made the headline blaming people who voted for Kamala

                Yeah I thought the headline was silly as well. I’m not sure what Kamala has to do with soldiers murdering people today. Maybe she normalized it with her positions and statements but she’s never had particularly much influence over any US military actions, and people who voted for her had even less.

          You can say whatever you want to try to dilute and deflect any criticism, but to us outside the empire, we simply can watch the news to see who is the real problem

            What criticism? You can’t even criticize me because you know nothing about me lol

            I already acknowledged Americans have a responsibility to stop this so I don’t even know what your objection is.
