  • Your entire point is that the criticism is "dumb" because it could be applied to other soldiers. Yet you are well aware of why specifically American soldiers are being criticized.

  • You can't think of any reason someone would criticize specifically American soldiers today?

  • I’m not crying and have no problem with criticisms of US troops or US military actions.

    Except when people make them, then you get angry and say things like...

    This particular criticism is dumb as fuck though.

    This particular criticism is mocking the common excuse americans will give for why they have no choice but to sign up to murder innocent people: "I just wanted to pay for college". The point is that it doesn't make a difference to the victims. It's a good point.

  • I made my criticism clear.

    You're here crying that someone criticized ameriKKKan soldiers for being monsters and your justification is that other soldiers do it too.

    "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" Your fascist empire is destroying the world, yankee. Don't go crying when people take offense to that.

  • There wasn't really any "interpretation", it's just what you said.

  • Criticize the US military all you want

    Salamence did and you're complaining about it.

  • Why are you so mad that the American military has been criticized?

  • I don't think what you're saying here is unfair. I will also point out that the intentions of troops matter little to their victims, which I think is really the point the meme is making.

    How I feel rn: 😮‍💨

    Yeah, me too.

  • I’d rather talk about how we get out of it.

    That's fair and good, but people (especially victims of the US empire) also have a right to post about how we got here, including just to vent. The first step to fixing things is knowing how they broke. I think trying to tell Salamence that there's shared blame here between victims and bystanders or perpetrators is counterproductive to this goal.

  • OK, thanks for explaining. But this is a meme comm, so people post memes on it. It's not a place where you can engage in real activism, that's not what it's for.

  • I mean the title is clearly directed at random American civilians, not just military folks. Although yes, they are ignorant about people who are in the military too.

    Is this seriously a reply where the first sentence attempts to avoid seeming like a defense of soldiers while the second sentence is an overt defense of soldiers?

    Really? Is it that clear? Don't soldiers vote for Kamala too?

  • Salamence made a post with a meme criticizing American troops who murdered people in the third world. That's not a position of ignorance, everyone knows what happened there.

  • What criticism? You can’t even criticize me because you know nothing about me lol

    You're replying pretty defensively to a meme criticizing American troops. If it's not about you, then there was no need to reply.

    If you think the Yankee military is less bad than ICE, that's because you think people in the Global South are less worthwhile than those in the USA
