Excited to find the western chauvinists in this community.

Edit: Wow apparently the only people on chapo dot chat are whitees unaffected by and benefiting from their imperialism confidently declaring how the perpetrators are to be treated.
Y'all have some nerve

Edit 2:
ITT If you shoot a black kid in the back in downtown Baltimore I want nothing to do with you. If you perfarate an entire back family in Mogadischu or Baghdad that's ok, you did growth and spaces.

      It's very true, from cradle to grave all forms of media & other forms of cultural & societal pressure.

      I taught pre school and had to actively remove pro cop/troop decorations, books, song, toy, etc from rooms for aged 1 to 6 y.o. As well as find ways to redirect and educate older children who were pretending to be cops/troops pretending to shoot its insidious.

        Its crazy how much children shows hero worship pigs. I've had to remove so much of my daughter's seemingly benign books and movies because they circle jerk cops.

      I completely agree but also "defect of your American protestant upbringing" is about as tactful as kicking someone in the balls.

        American Protestantism is much, much less tactful than a kick in the balls. Ugh. Will god not rid me of these fucking protestants?

          My favorite interpretation of Christianity is that God felt so guilty about creating mankind that he came down to earth to do a suicide by crucifixion and has been dead ever since.

        Calling something someone does on this forum a WASP or American activity is, like, the most powerful and disarming insult and you gotta use it before the other uses it on you. Partly why the discourse sometimes gets really dumb, it's all white people accusing other white people for being too white or something.

      I'd be willing to forgive people if they were actually repentant but they're not. Look at this thread. Nothing but excuse-making and going "WOW I GUESS ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS PURITY HUH" Not a single person can give an actual rebuttal to the comparison of cops and soldiers, the only reason people hate cops but not soldiers is because they view foreigners as subhuman.

      In conclusion, death to American and death to every American.

            I was actually coming into this thread with a relatively soft position on vets and their role but the mental gymnastics and apologism is absolutely disgusting. Utterly convinced that Americans are irredeemable and should be wiped from the face of the Earth.
