She’s not wrong, no reason to downvote her. The meme is actually based on a centrist facebook meme that I put a leftist twist on. It was used a lot as ragebait on reddit (not by me) and I thought it would be funny to repurpose it like this.

People should care more about the people in their country than one across the world. American leftists should care about other American leftists MORE than a country across the world. Surely you don’t put fucking Gaza above YOU as a person! This is the stupidest fucking argument. If you don’t care about your own neighbor (let’s say they are just like you) then you don’t give a shit about Gaza. You need to help yourself before others. Come the fuck off it.

The wealth of the US/euro empire is rooted in the exploitation of countries that are kept underdeveloped artificially through war or threats thereof. This is something that the liberals don’t want to change as the palestinian genocide for instance clearly demonstrate. Their platform is only about spreading the wealth (that has been gotten through those exploitative means) more “equitably” among the population of the empire. That’s what I mean by “war profits”.

Well it’s not addressed at liberals or conservatives but people who identify as leftists but still believe in the electoralist/reformist path. Only a few people on lemmy identify as liberal and even fewer as conservative.

Failing that, it’s just a meme. I don’t see any harm in posting it even if it doesn’t have the intended effect.

edit: you know the kind of people already fed up with the fakeness of it, seemingly having to support the palestinian genocide for instance no matter how they choose, but can’t quite put their finger on what’s wrong with the system.

What blame? This is a meme not an analysis, it’s meant to challenge the viewer to no longer think in terms of “what can I get out of electoralism” and instead focus on the death and carnage that the false choice is meant to distract from but instead what keeps western societies running.

you disagree?

Where does the euro/US wealth come from?

Probably the thing he did for the >20 years prior to that?

open modlog

hoo boy yeah good riddance I’d say

Oh that’s a macaco-inglês. Which means “english monkey” so called because it looks a lot like english people.

You have no idea about other cultural norms and attires. Is the western man being oppressed when he has to wear a tie and suit to the office in order to keep his job? Do we free him from this oppression by ostracizing him or making it illegal for wearing a tie?

there is such an amazing video by Lady Izdihar that would be extremely relevant but I can’t find it 😔
