I followed up on your assertions, as I was wholly ignorant to them prior. And while I’m not terribly surprised, as it’s seemingly almost impossible to be the President and not get involved in our country’s sordid history, I am sad to find out Jimmy “sold his peanut farm” Carter’s legacy is tied to so many atrocities. It’s worth knowing about if we want to improve the world.
A bit of friendly advice though, attacking people for their ignorance is simply a terrible way to break their illusions. Unless you were just trying to be a dick for its own sake, your tact will accomplish little more than pushing people further down the path you so eloquently deemed “fucking pathetic”.
And to that extent, don’t be so quick to throw stones from your glass house. There are no countries that are wholly innocent. We need to push for solidarity, not division, if we aim to change that in the future.
This community just upvoted a guy saying he wanted to physically assault me and wishes he could.
Yet calling ignorance and supporting genocide as fucking pathetic is attacking people worthy of downvotes?
Please, the downvotes and combativeness are because Americans are trained their whole life to believe a narrative and support their party. I with my foreign perspective challenged their identity and they rallied in defense of all they know.
If you don’t believe go make a top level post explaining Carter’s crimes and see how well they receive it.
Sorry pal, but I dont see the value in dropping a list of atrocities on a post about an old mans final days. Especially not to prove a point to someone who views the world as so black and white, and who picks fights only to act indignant when they find one.
I dont agree with the vitriolic comments thrown your way, but if you dont see how you asked for them, then you are as bad at self reflection as the Americans you are so quick to judge.

Oh really.
So if Trump died, you wouldn’t say anything but niceness about him?
To say I asked for threats of violence because I didn’t worship an American president is also pretty fucking pathetic.
