You already admitted to working for them by saying you’re in the private sector “now” 🤡
Whoopsie, you slipped.
OK and?
YOU PEOPLE ARE OK WITH KILLING CHILDREN
No we aren’t. I don’t know anyone, especially on Lemmy, who is okay with what is going on. The united state’s current position is very disappointing.
However, and I’ll use caps to mock you, YOU ARE OKAY WITH YOUR GOVERNMENT KILLING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND SUPPORT THEM COVERING UP THEIR CRIMES.
The big difference between you and I is, I’m against ALL authoritarian governments—whereas you are actively in favor of them.
There is very little that I can do to effect change on a global level but, unlike you, I am not afraid to speak out against my own government’s actions.
You commenters are very much OK with Gazan children dying, as you want me to vote for Team Blue despite my moral reservations. You are fine with the US selling weapons to Israel as long as its a Team Blue administration doing it.
You guys are trying to turn this into a referendum about me personally, which I find rather disgusting, but also amusing 😆 I mean, you're posting during East Asian daytime hours. Perhaps YOU are Chinese spies based in Beijing!
Also what authoritarian government have I ever endorsed? You're just putting words in my mouth and making assumptions that are off the topic here, which, again, is that YOU THINK DEAD CHILDREN IN GAZA IS ACCEPTABLE
I’m not paying attention to any other comments.
Show me you don’t support an authoritarian government by saying:
Two hours now… probably just in the shower
Right ;) soaking in a bath.
I think I found the hexbear/ML silver bullet.
