Mali and Burkina Faso banned Americans a few days ago. What with Maduro’s kidnapping, it looks like that decision payed off in more ways than they might have anticipated!

I don’t get it
.
I assure you Canadians and Mexicans do not want to be called Americans, especially these days
.
I understand this rhetoric, but one extremely effective way of changing people’s opinions and broadening their world view is travel. Banning people from the US from traveling will only result in more insulation and “othering”.
That said, American tourists are 👏the 👏worst (I say as an American). We should act like what we are: guests. I’ve had the privilege to travel to five nations that don’t speak English as their native language and have learned my P’s and Q’s every time and it’s always paid off. I speak the language terribly, but I’m at least willing to try.
I get where you are coming from, but I think the only way to get through to the goddamned, thick skulled, toddler brained populace of the us, is to take their fucking toys away.
Don’t allow them to travel to other countries. Economically sanction them and make burger price go up. For the love of god get the all military and all us bases out of your country.
The us should be shunned and rot in rhe mess they made for themselves while the world builds solidarity and cooperates. Twisted fucks can learn appreciation for the world by experiencing being cut off from it.
Do you say the same for Russians since their leader is engaged in a hostile takeover of a sovereign nation?
Good. Fuck America. No one should trust us.
We suck 😭
Do something
Still hoping votes can make a difference this year. Not ready to Luigi anybody.
Votes aren’t going to do shit for imperialism, that’s bipartisan. You also don’t need to Luigi people. Instead, you can organize in real life with a socialist party, and if the conditions for revolution arise, take part in that.
Luigi is easy to understand. Voting is easy to understand. When people say “organize in real life” what exactly do you mean? Picnics?
I mean joining an org like PSL, training and studying as an activist and directly participate in organizing outreach, educating others, forming protests, and more.
I love this comment. It’s like asking an ant to hold back the tide. The fact it’s said so unironically makes it better.
The fact that that user recognises themselves as part of the country that has been nothing but a cancer in the world, and dislikes it, is already a lot and should be praised. They overcame the propaganda and used their minds and hearts to examine the world. 👍
We appreciate it, but it materially doesn’t help us outside of the US and it also doesn’t help y’all inside either
Better than nothing and much better than the opposite, but that’s fair.
It’s literally nothing, and Americans thinking dumping their feeling into the cyber abyss is “doing something” is a huge part of the problem.
US imperialism is a paper tiger. Grow a spine and organise.
I always laugh at this line. What does that make Maduro? What does it make the USSR? What of the hundreds of colonized nations?
Victims of a mere paper tiger, I suppose.
Do you really know what we need a spine for? All we do is waste away “organizing” over bullshit. Uninspired, insipid fucking protests, milquetoast bargaining meetings, blah blah blah mutual aid drama drama tenderqueer drama. We aren’t going to save anyone from anything. Not ourselves and not anyone abroad. We will exploit and betray our own sympathies, nothing more. Do not make the error of blaming imperial citizens for not defeating their own champions. We aren’t going to be guilted into dismantling our empire. Do you not know the mountain of skulls we had to pile just to lay it’s foundation? We have only begun to destroy the world as nothing but a paper tiger.
Taking a doomerist stance just forces the responsibility for organizing onto the global south, and is deeply chauvanist.
No, it’s asking an ant to stand up against a bunch of grasshoppers.
Hey brother, this is a fucking ML website correct? So imagine this shit…
MANY ANTS COOPERATE, to take on some grasshoppers.
Jesus fucking christ, american “leftists” are so pathetic.
If you are so baffled as to why your big brain advice isn’t helping then why don’t you have the sense to meaningfully adjust your expectations?
I don’t get what you mean? Do you mean I should adjust to celebrate when american “leftists” justify slaughter?
Is expecting “leftists” in america to organize is too much now?
Is my bar of expecting basic fucking human decency from americans too high?
Do you fucking hear yourself? Pathetic doesn’t begin encapsulate it. The justifications you tell yourself and lie you are living sickens me.
No because that is what the orange turd wants in order to achieve complete control of everything
He already has it
No he doesn’t. You still protests, and people having their rights. He wants to declare martial law and with it, congress looses all power, the courts loose all power and he becomes a literal king. Once this happens, all hope will forever be lost
No? There has never been a legal path to fixing the US Empire, it has always required revolution.
