  i’m not a fan of getting called ‘dude’, but that was not i was referring to.

  i was referring to how you in the conversation i linked you claim to support trans people but then roll out transphobia alongside all your other abuse any time your sacred cow (american chauvinism) is threatened.

  I’d say it’s alarming that you can’t see why that’s a problem, but I’m used to how ignorant cops can be

    Yes we’ve established that you’re an extremist, the question was rhetorical.

    I’m not a cop, but I do think it’s funny that you assume ‘you people’ means trans people and not tankies/far left extremists. Big ‘I’m just asking questions’ energy on your redefining of the words ‘Death to America’.

    Again, I don’t give a shit that you’re trans - that’s ultimately where my support of trans people begins and ends. You’re a shithead just like the bulk of humanity, what color you paint yourself with doesn’t matter to me - it all ends up looking like targets to poke at.

      you’re not a cop, just a coworker, got it. maybe collaborator?

      anyway i’m actually just citing the actual meaning behind ‘death to america’ as intended by the people using the chant.

      framing it as an attack on the american people rather than the government is just again demonstrating your surface level understanding of things.

      you are literally the blue version of maga

        Nope, I’ve not worked for the DoJ for years - as a contractor I’ve worked with various state departments over the course of my career. Speaking of which, I’ve gone to every No King’s protest and handed out abolish ICE stickers - not sure how that makes me a collaborator.

        framing it as an attack on the american people rather than the government is just again demonstrating your surface level understanding of things.

        So, and I need you to pay the fuck attention to what I’m asking, why would anyone ever assume that this ‘real meaning’ matters when tensions between both countries have been rising over the past 70 years?

        Why would I, ever, as an American assume that ‘Death to America’ combined with ‘America deserved 9/11’ doesn’t mean exactly what the fuck it says?

        ‘I’m just joking!’ ‘I’m just asking questions!’ ‘I’m just citing the original meaning!’

        You can fuck right off with that bullshit.
