Alleged cartel boat you dufuses.
It’s shocking how the media just repeat the statements of this government without any questions asked. They’re really functioning as propaganda distributors rather than journalists these days. We’re seeing it also with them repeating uncritically the FBI’s claims about the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect.
The media is really careful about using “alleged” in cases where they obviously dont need to, in order to sow doubt, and not using it in cases where they definitely need to, to pretend that some bullshit narrative is certain even though the opposite is true
The last one wasn’t a cartel boat. This one probably wasn’t either.
We deserved 9/11
And fuck every shit stain rag news site that prints “kinetic strike” without quotations.
They could just capture the boat.
No shit its a tiny fucking boat. Of course if they did that. Then we all know it was boat of fisherman and not drig dealers.
The United States is a terrorist nation that should be walled off from the rest of the civilized world.
The US is a product of European colonialism and white centrism. It would be nice, for those of us whose ancestors were already here prior to 1492 and I am sure for those whose ancestors were forced here in the interim, if people would stop trying to pretend that everyone here has culpability in the current state of affairs. Native Americans have literally only had the right to vote since the 70s.
The number of native people without some european ancestry in some line of their heritage is drastically small. People have been mixing since a long ass time ago, in good and bad contexts. Far from all of it was under duress of any kind. It doesnt really matter if youre culturally 100% connected, that doesnt negate those lines of heritage. Its quite obnoxious to pretend that just because youre 1/XYZ native that you have no european heritage like most do. Same as it would be obnoxious for someone who has a majority of european heritage, but not entirely, to pretend that they are just european and ignore the rest by affording some sense of supremacy to their preferred lines.
As someone who is related to a little bit of everybody, I dont speak for any of those heritages wholesale. I speak for me, and I guess for other people who are tripartite mixed of the same three “races” of people. To do anything else would be disingenuous at best
So what about your statement makes you challenge the US being a terror state?
So this is something that I’ve noticed recently, and honestly, it’s pissing me off. America has spent an absurd amount of its existence pushing its influence around the rest of the world, whether that be media or military. In all of it, American exceptionalism runs rampant, with Americans believing that they have the best country on the planet. Often comparing America to other countries as if America is the basic template of what something should be. Yet, when someone who is not an American decides to have an opinion on America, the Americans expect special treatment, saying that we do not know what it is like there. Yet they are the country that does not shut the fuck up about themselves.
Okay, and what’s your solution supposed to be? To have everyone go, well the United States is a horrible country that is filled to the brim with bigots, but because there is a tiny, tiny margin of people who aren’t, we should be kind to the whole country, because we don’t want to hurt their feelings? Or do you expect me to add a disclaimer to every one of my comments saying, of course, this does not apply to those in this case or that case or this other case? Because if so, that’s also ridiculous. You might have ALSO noticed I said the country is a terrorist state and not every single person is culpable. But there’s this thing called the majority…
So no. I will not be adding a disclaimer to every comment saying something both of us are aware of. But way to go on disproving the stereotype of Americans and expecting special treatment.
People from Europe seem to expect to not be lumped in with the latest dumbass bullshit from Hungry, or the UK, or even this latest chat control fiasco. Is it really that troublesome that people from a nation made up of dozens of states, reservations, islands, etc want the same?
Edit for your edit: You said terrorist nation, not state.
It seems so difficult for a lot of Americans to understand that Europe consists of multiple independent countries, while USA is a single country.
Is it really that troublesome that people from a nation made up of dozens of states, reservations, islands, etc want the same?
Yup because you’re one country.
What you initially described is one country being annoyed of getting said they’re responsible for another country. You’re all the same voting block. Moreover, a voting block that overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump. He won in majority of votes and then something like 40% of your eligible electorate decided not to vote at all.
So, once again, I am not adding a disclaimer and caveat to every single comment just to spare the feelings of Americans. You’re either capable of going “Well clearly this doesn’t apply to people who aren’t bigots” or you need it literally spelled out for you. If you need it literally spelled out for you then you’re the type of American who the rest of the world is utterly sick of in the first place.
You said terrorist nation, not state.
American.
Here’s the definition of State:
a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government.
Here’s the definition of Nation:
a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.
Glad I could help you with your civics lesson.
I mean, the first war crime had no consequences whatsoever, so why would he stop? I bet we’ll see more and more “extremely dangerous narcoterrorists” executed without due process or even a warrant - soon probably also within the US, not just on international waters…
Entire seasons of television have had plots based on the U.S. government doing this once, either secretly or by accident, and how they strive to make amends and reparations to avoid international conflict, and it all happens behind closed doors because everyone is terrified of the certainty of scandal should word ever get out. And now here we are.
I mean honestly, US presidents killing random people and families the world over for literally no reason is nothing new. On the scale of Trump stuff, this is pretty minor, as sad as that is to say.
Its the bragging about it that is different.
Rumsfeld more or less bragged about it too, a lot of that crowd did. We haven’t had a serial killer in the White House for a few years, so it’s an adjustment back (and of course Trump is such an overtly vicious person that it’ll have a new flavor now), but this stuff is not new for Republicans.
(Actually Biden and Bush Sr. are the only two presidents since Carter that I can remember that weren’t fans of blowing up random people directly with US forces for no reason. In Afghanistan they did an airstrike on a wedding.)
Exactly. A day in the life of Homelander.
“Cartel boat”.
“I had no idea about this”
unrelated but FOUND THE GIZZ HEAD!
