you are antisemitic if you don't think the National Guard should be called up to murder peaceful student protestors

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I understand that when Kent State happened there was a significant proportion of the country that approved.
Kent State (and Jackson State) should have been the moment every American was radicalized. Instead a majority proved their loyalty to the Great Satan.
heard about kent state massacre as a kid, was in my 20s before i knew they did a second one at an HBCU ~11 days later.
Smash cut to David Bowie and Trent Reznor's "I'm afraid of Americans".
Holy god, I now see why none of these assholes care about Palestinians - they think they should have just stayed in their place and accepted the harm that was happening to their people. What’s the word for that kind of mentality?
Genocidal. Fascist. Reactionary. Chauvinist. Imperialist. Colonialist.
Any of the above will do
Evil. When I was a kid and blindly followed American conservatism, then liberalism, I was never able to fully buy into any of it because no matter what they say, I knew Americans - and the majority of westerners - saw me and my friends and family as subhuman to be exploited and killed. Every time I repeated some DOD talking point, there was a nagging voice in the back of my head that wanted to clarify that I didn't support any of the callous policies, but then I realized that it left me with nothing else to support because it's all callousness.
America has always been fascist
Most Americans weren't against the war. Most support the soldiers regardless of how they view the war. The country is simply uninterested in caring about human suffering unless it's their baby boys in uniform, and only nominally because they can't even bothered to do anything to help imperialists when they come home.
