    All due respect to my fellow Americans, but I hope with all my heart that Amerikkka falls as low as Babylon.

        There’s some good people in the streets, mainly from the black and immigrant community, but I suppose these people are not really considered “American” there…

            I’m not judging you. My initial impetus for my comment was to say that I hoped all of Amerikkka would be nuked. Then I remembered my comrades there, including the indigenous people I forgot to mention earlier. We have to give them a fair country…

            And maybe that means killing most of the white population there.

              Most of the white population in America is working class and not assigned racist at birth, but Rather made racist through propaganda. The issue with America is not that the cumskins have a racism gene, but that they are racist because the material conditions of America demands racism to keep quality of life up for those people. However, most of them are working class and do have revolutionary potential in that regard and have historically had revolutionary potential. I think xi-plz is not an effective way of ending American imperialism and the boot of capitalism.

                I’m sorry sis; but this is the one place I disagree with you. I don’t disagree with the “not assigned racist at birth”; but where I disagree is that I don’t think those maladaptive teachings ever will ‘come out in the wash’. Not without every single person who COULD pass on racist teachings to potential offspring going child-free or otherwise dying before they could conceive; and cutting it off at a generational level.

                For every out, loud, and proud bigot in Amerikan society, there’s two dozen of the vermin under the nearest rotting log. I see it as the older brother to the incel movement; you can ban an incel off every mainstream social media platform on the planet, completely silence him, and he’ll still find somewhere to stew with those of like mind. It’d take a catastrophe of size that has never been seen in this country, and a coming together that couldn’t be imagined for me to believe that there’d ever be revolutionary potential in a white Amerikan.

                  Deadicalization when in comes to racist beliefs does exist however it is slow and faulty at best. A mass reeducation is required and you’d need to judge the efficacy of the program while doing it and tweak it as needed when it comes to white Americans. Historically, I’d argue that there has been revolutionary potential in white Americans such as John Brown, Eugene V Debs, United Mine Workers and arguably the Young Patriots Organization. While parts of these organizations and people gave problematic aspects, there has been revolution potential in them. While the present material conditions demand racism and prevent mass revolutionary conscience for America as a whole, a change in material conditions could lead to white Americans becoming a revolutionary group as capitalism does not benefit them as much as socialism would.

                  I agree with you that most white Americans do not have revolutionary potential now; I disagree with you in that they could with a change in material conditions and that a minority do at present time.

                    Sorry for the late response. I agree with you that re-education is a much better option because it really solves the problem. However, I totally disagree that white Americans have any chance of carrying out a revolution themselves, just as Western Europeans don’t. Their entire revolutionary spirit has been co-opted by fascism. I think the only solution is foreign interference. I said nuke jokingly. I would do it along the lines of the denazification of the DDR.

                  Anyone who isn’t white, cis, and heteronormative is excluded to some extent by American society. If they aren’t treated as “true” Americans, then you saying you want to nuke Americans would already exclude nuking those that Americans themselves chose to exclude.

                  I just meant you didn’t need to explicitly say you wouldn’t also nuke comrades.

                    Sorry for the late response. What I said was that my initial impulse was to nuke all of Amerikkka, but then I realized that by doing so I would hurt my fellow Americans, which includes the black community, the immigrant community, and the indigenous community. (As for the LGBTQI+ community, I couldn’t include all of them in that category, since being queer isn’t as much of a deterrent to being a Nazi as being part of one of those other communities is.) I ended up writing that I would like Amerikkka to fall as hard as Babylon, which in this case refers to Amerikkka as a country-system, not as a territory. In short, I wouldn’t nuke America, because they’re the ones who like to nuke others. Sorry if my previous comments didn’t make that clear.

                Reverse racist rhetoric? Where have I ever seen that? Oh, in white supremacists.

                Do you know why I would be banned if I exchanged white for absolutely any other ethnicity? Because, historically, it was the white elite that went out to exploit the rest of the world and created racism as a “scientific” justification for doing so. So, for any eventual “oppression” (OMG, the Call Me Mañana on lemmy.ml said that for my country to be fair the majority of the white population would need to die, I’m so scared) against white people be considered racism, you would have to rewrite history (and that’s what white supremacists do, by the way).

                    Sorry for the late response. Unfortunately, it is impossible to be racist against white people in the West, since they are the ones at the top of the racial system here. Still, it is not completely impossible all over the world, my fellow Armenians go through similar oppressions. This is absolutely not the case here. It is just some random guy on the internet saying that freedom of the human race will only be achieved with the end of white people in Amerikkka. Obviously chitchat in response to centuries of oppression, but you had to screw it up.

                    When colored people enslave white people for centuries and then “free” them by throwing them into a segregationist system, and after much struggle change the laws, but still keep them as second-class citizens in practice, then you will be right to say that a white person suffered racism.

                  Taking 100 reál from him doesn’t even constitute theft, the contrast in his wealth is so great that he literally bends the light. 100 reál is less than a penny to him. He could have financed the RPG guys until the end, with all their absurd goals, without even feeling it. This kind of “robbery” isn’t even satisfactory, since it doesn’t cause any damage. And I actually felt terrible taking those 100 reál, because simply pretending to be a liberal is already too much for me. The fact that the game actually counts it as an ultra-liberal speech makes the feeling even worse.

        I plan to divide it into foreign occupation zones among future communist nations, like Germany, but this time done properly (no capitalist part). And then I would keep it that way long enough to de-Nazify it (at least a thousand years).
