America's not going down without taking everyone with them.
They're crazy!
America is taking everyone with them anyway! See the latest climate summit for an example.
I’m more concerned about the American so-called communist who live in their mommy’s basements and troll online.
You're concerned about something you made up more than runaway climate change. Cool!
Very American.
America is the only country in the world with a nuclear first strike policy, and to have used nuclear weapons on civilians. The best thing that can happen for the rest of the world is for it to fall to internal power struggles.
Not quite true, have you heard of the Semipalatinsk Test Site?
I have, and I would say that the circumstances/implications are very different. One was the unforseen negative health impacts of a nuclear test site the other was the use of nuclear weapons on two population centers.
Also that's whataboutism I think lol. We're talkin about US crimes
No you are, I'm talking about whatever the fuck I want to thank you very much.
Which is pivoting to USSR bad propaganda in a thread about how the real issue in everyones minds should be the ongoing genocide in occupied Palestine?
Yeah I'm calling that whataboutism lmao
You can call it whatever you want to.
You said something wrong I called you out.
No need to get all pissy about it, it wasn't anything personal.
No, I said that America is the only country to use nuclear weapons on a civilian population. You gave me some bullshit about a side effects from a test site 'counting' as if that carries the same weight as literally evaporating hundreds of thousands of people in an instant.
I gave you an example of another country using nuclear weapons against civilians and you are taking it much too hard.
Learn from it and take the L. Its not like you lost credibility at your super cool club because you were wrong once.
The US has the only nuclear first strike policy and has demonstrated its willingness to evaporate living humans with nuclear weapons in order to dominate as much as the world as it can for capitalist extraction. It would be best for the rest of the world if it fell apart and silently faded into the background.
You should invite your Hexbear friends to come and talk to me.
I crave the attention.
I subscribe to their comms because they're actually funny. Maybe you should try and interact with actual users there.
No thanks.
You literally just asked me for that exact thing
Is that what you thought I was asking?
