America when someone is mentioning the Tulsa race massacre or the Kent state shootings or the 1985 MOVE bombing or Ruby Ridge
edit: downvotes won’t make these things go away as much as you’d like them to. cope and seethe. I know this kind of nuanced stuff is hard for you chuds
Oh you mean things that I, an American (anarchist), complain about constantly? You forgot Waco, The Tuskeegee Experiment, MK Ultra, MK Naomi, COINTELPRO, Wounded Knee and SPEEDING! Ok that last one was from Liar, Liar, but still, as an American I point to all this and more as to why one can't trust government, and our current government has yet to make me and my entire family disappear about it, funny enough. I may not trust them but there are clear differences.
Tell you what, why don't you blow up a pic of the Kent State Massacre, make it into a sign, take it to Kent State, and use it to protest the US gov.
Then make another sign, with this picture
and take it to Tiennanman Square to protest the Chinese government. See which one treats you better.
Yep. There's a large difference between a nation who says "it didn't happen and if it did they deserved it" and one that says "yeah we did some fucked up shit. It was fucked up and bad"
genuinely asking - please give me your sources on where the US government has openly and honestly taken responsibility for and denounced all the things I mentioned
Yikes, someone didn’t even bother to read the article they’re sourcing. How embarrassing.
edit: also, I think you might want to find a different word (e.g., not tankie) to refer to an anti-government political stance. Likely just a buzzword you heard that kinda rolls off the tongue, I’m guessing
Coming from someone living in a "Western" country that genocided the native population (guess which one!) that will either not admit it, will say "that's what happens in war," or just start screaming incoherently, this is incorrect.
I learned about the genocide in school. They definitely did not paint the Westerners as the good guys. So I would definitely say that this "Western" country admits it.
Yeah, that’s a list of well documented horrendous shit that everyone knows about because our media is more or less functional and access to information isn’t as restrictive as some other places.
The government that perpetuated them sure as hell doesn’t. Now run along and bitch about some random wedge issue distraction while the adults are talking.
