You’re right about that, but I think implying they are Americans only lessens the impact of the statement. Better to say it’s the American ideals. People from London are not American but a significant portion of them are indeed poisoned by ideals of the country, which is the problem.

On that note, I’d normally call similar things a western belief but in this instance it’s such a predominately American vs overall western idea right now that genocide is fine that it’s hard to call it anything but.

I thought the islamophobia was invented by Europeans, it's kind of a tradition from the middle ages or so. Being genocidal against the target is just the next step

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
