    Wait until a new law make mandatory to implant Musk’s Neuralink in every brain. Than it will be risky to think about these things.

    Okay, okay. Hear me out. I don’t know what exactly you mean by “death to [country]”. If you mean that the government should change, if necessary by force I would at last kind of agree since I also really dislike and disagree with the governments of these countries and they do seem pretty hostile. BUT it sounds more kill every person in that country. And I would very strongly disagree with that. There are terrible people in every country and there are also nice people in every county. And if for example every Republican voter in the US was a racist and rapist that would not justify killing the other ~60% of the country. At least how you put it in this meme just spreads hate. We the people should focus on improving the world and working together, maybe hating our governments but definitely not hating each other because of our governments. In the end, that is exactly their goal. If we focus on hating each other, we will not peruse the more important goals.

      Saying “death to x country” is just a shorthand for total opposition to that state, its ruling class that controls the state, and those who would uphold that state. It isn’t a call for genocide.

        Liberals: Orange man bad! Hes got to go!

        Ali Khamenei: Death to America means death to Trump and Bolton. We have nothing against the American people.

        Liberals: WHY ARE THE MUSLIMS SO HATEFUL??

          it’s because they see as us idiot cavemen who can’t speak properly, the same as the critisism for Ansarallah’s banner, they say in it death to America and death to Israel, if they wanted to say “death to Jews” they wouldn’t have used a word other than death.

      The US falling is going to absolutely be a net positive for the global south, who is looted and plundered every minute and every day by imperialism. A world without the US empire is one that can actually build itself up.

      I’m not in those countries, and my country depends on US protection, but I want them to crash land on their face.

      Germany has been Europe’s most successful nation on a lot of levels. Having a near death experience and a properly guided rebirth can be a good thing.

      The outer values of USA are very admirable, but they were taken over by hostile foreign powers that over decades slowly corrupted courts and the two parties, and now most people are noticing the part of the iceberg above the water.

      The US has been self dismantling at least since Bush-9/11 but you could make the case that the JFK assassination was the real moment “the deep state” took over and the President became a puppet for the Military Industrial Complex.

        The US was founded on slavery and genocide, and to this day is the world’s largest Empire and settler-colony. The US wasn’t “taken over” in the last 2 decades, it has consistently either been the most evil country in the world, or one of the most evil countries. The “outer values” are just aesthetics sold to keep the brutal system going.

          Well that’s the glass half full version. The slavery and genocide is not a monopoly of the USA though. At some point every major power in existence dabbled their feet into that. I mean it’s happening today. The reality is that lots of people inside and outside the US believe those aesthetics, and that’s a powerful thing to leverage when rebuilding a nation.

          The New Nuremberg trials will be able to dispense with the evil for hopefully a few generations, until it inevitably will come back.

            The US Empire is the world hegemon. It is the country most responsible for current global plunder and genocide. It is still a settler-colony. The aesthetics don’t matter, what matters is that it’s an empire and runs on imperialism, and the way beyond it is a destruction of the empire itself and a new socialist state in its place.
