There are many truths. All those pictures are true so are fighting Nazis, imperialism, and famine. See the whole picture not just the part that supports your bias and political position.

Yes absolutely. And many soldiers have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those things. Plus decisions regarding war are often made by politicians not soldiers.

But, Elon is throwing the Nazi salute. Your government is stripping away peoples rights. The whole picture is, the U.S. is stripping people of their constitutional rights.

Not really.

They are just getting rid of any and every liberty that any reasonable society would provide.

Not the rights though. We never had such rights. We just didn't realise those were needed to be written down because others didn't violate those expectations.


Even in an anarchy, without any written rights, we would have those liberties, given a reasonable society. Just not here.

Ok what rights have they stripped away?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The right for abortion, healthcare (by the DOGE bullshit), among other rights.

The US fights for Imperialism and famine, though. It doesn't engage in war for moral reasons, but for profit, and as the world Hegemon, that directly incentivizes US Imperialism.

The U.S doesnโ€™t give a fuck about their people. Women are being charged when they have a miscarriage. Seriously. WTF is wrong with you people???

When have U.S. troops fought against imperialism?

And if you're hanging your hat on (reluctantly) being on the right side of one war 80 years ago, it's time for a hard look in the mirror.

No no no. None of this should be acknowledged, because Whataboutism.
