Mentally ill people burning themselves to death in protest is a lot more dramatic than angry facebookposting but fundamentally accomplishes about the same thing. Sorry we lost a good airman for nothing…seek help if you’re feeling suicidal folks.
That’s the only real crime you can think of, really?
Hmmm.
He asked, what would you do if you lived in a genocidal state?
My answer “always have been”.
you mean the US?
I’d say at least half of all modern nations, but yeah the US is one of the better examples
yup the US was an apartheid state from the start as well
Ridiculous. It was a flawed democracy not comparable to apartheid, which literally is a system where a minority group rules the majority group without consent.
tell that to the natives. tell that to the slave population it held. tell that to the current incarcerated population.
Yeah bud it’s pretty much all bloodshed all the way back through human history. But right now with America as the only world superpower, it is better than has ever been for more people than ever before. If we take your approach, nobody has a right to anything, everyone is a colonizer and rapist. The world is always going to be half terrible, you are letting perfect be the enemy of good.
Yes, defend current atrocities now because “the past was worse”. Wait, people couldn’t own things before America? There have always been docile people as well so I think you may just be exaggerating on those points.
America isn’t the only superpower though. And why do you think they are such a superpower? Could it be because of all the free prison labor we have and all of the unpaid labor that went into US infrastructure both during and after slavery was abolished?
The world doesn’t have to be half terrible and if the US is such a good powerful supernation, why doesn’t it fix the very problems that it causes? I think its because the US is an ultra-capitalist empire and requires all of the suffering it takes to maintain that empire.
wait the US is giving Hawaii back?
You sound like a flat earther.
did you know that the US is illegally occupying hawaii?
I mean, that’s kinda obvious ain’t it?
You’d think, but there is already push back. I’ve seen a few attempts to slander him through his reddit account and socials. I actually expect more fud is coming. I wonder how swift boated he’ll end up being?
The pushback is right wing trolls posting screenshots about fictional leftist “infighting” from Twitter accounts that have zero likes or re-tweets. In reality those are either fake or just a few random people that nobody cares about.
Not if you’re NPR apparently.

Very reasonable. Someone must be very proud of you!
You just made a complete sentence on the internet!
So just… Why, exactly?
You don’t see the irony of a government comprised of people that had a genocide inflicted on them 80 or so years ago are now committing a genocide themselves? I’d think that someone didn’t learn a valuable lesson, but you just think that it’s cool or something?
It was for nothing.
Aaron Bushnell got CNN to say the word Genocide on live TV. Even when talking about marches with 1 million people CNN called it war.
And it will be right back out of the news cycle next week.
The Buddhist monk didn’t keep staying in the news for 20 years either. The world moves on. They want new stuff every day.
Global attention for a cause for (more than) a day achieved by a single person absolutely extraordinary.

WOW!!! CNN said “genocide”??? Holy fuck pack it up boys, the work is done.
I mean it made you make a comment. Regardless of your opinion, it still did something.
