“Death to Germany because they say their reason for existing is to support ‘Israel’[1]? That’s genocidal against Germans.”
Sorry, but I don’t care about your colonizer fragility.
Not a joke, they call this “Staatsräson”. ↩︎
I agree. But please add other imperial countries to your flag list, like for example russian flag and other well known capitalist state from Asia.
Do you bite, the hand that feeds you? Do you stay , down on your knees?
Of course these fuckers won’t unilaterally speak out against authoritarians.
EDIT : these people are the kind that will say “Down with rainbow capitalism” and if you ask them “because of the rainbows or because of the capitalism?” they will refuse to give a straight answer.
This feels like whataboutism, especially if the poster is American. I’m Canadian and I mainly criticize Canada/US/Israel, because that’s the empire I’m a citizen of.
Ngl “whataboutism” has always appeared to be a pseudo intellectual criticism.
It’s consistent to expect a unilateral criticism, and sometimes, people don’t do that because they actually are hypocrites.
So commenting about imperialist state under anti imperialistic meme is whataboutism?
And I’m living in Europe, and I criticize imperialism that doesn’t affect me that much like usa, Israel, but also Russian imperialism and attack on independent country Ukraine, and that is showing Europe and Poland as it’s enemy. I’m also criticizing Chinese exploitation of Africa, so the thing that gives us very cheap goods.
But what this have to do with the topic, I don’t know.
“So commenting about imperialist state under anti imperialistic meme is whataboutism?”
Sometimes. Commenting about any topic can be whataboutism if it fits the definition.
If I was saying “death to the IDF” and the comment was “what about the Russian military???”, ya, that would be whataboutism.
How in a hell you get the idea, that meme about white imperialism is about one specific country, like USA, not other imperialistic states like Russia or Israel? You know, that russia and Israel are also mostly white?
I’m talking about the post, which is primarily about Israel and it’s allies. Your comment was wholly unproductive
So let’s pretend, that only western imperialism is the problem, good :D
Oh so let’s pretend only eastern imperialism is bad, got you!! (Now I’m doing the whataboutism)
