    Even in a historical context? Colonialism was absolutely real, 1930s neoliberalism was a real political movement, and the British Empire was absolutely a western imperialist system.

      I never said they weren’t real, did I? I just said I don’t have to hear about it in every goddamn comment. Someone shits in the woods and an ml account will login to mention colonialism of neo-liberal policies influenced the color of my shit in the woods. It doesn’t have to be repeated. every. goddamn. time.

        well when we are from those places and still suffer from the consequences, its reasonable to still be mad about it regardless of your feelings

          Ok chief. Safe to say we’ve all been impacted in one way or another. Did y’all just wake up yesterday and discover Reaganomics or some shit? C’mon.

              Dunno. The fact that you guys bring it up incessantly in every conversation like it’s fresh news?

                  My friend: bringing up the oppression of capitalism on Lemmy is like jerking off while standing in a tub of semen. You’re just doing it to signal to your friends how virtuous and enlightened you are. You aren’t doing it to raise consciousness – it’s just an exercise in the largest circle jerk the in the universe. Splash splash my friend. Splash splash.

                    yet you still need to get here and be cummed on don’t you? why does it offend you so much to see our dicks yet you always come back for more?

                    you are welcome to either leave lemmy, or get it into your little dumb conservative head.
