    ML calls for the literal and actual fall of all Western civilization

    for the record when people say ‘Death to America’ it’s wishing an end to the American government and its settler-colonial state apparatus.

    Concern about the ‘fall of Western civilization’ is more often than not a dog whistle signalling reactionary politics.

    also this isn’t limited to election seasons, death to america

      Death to America

      I dunno man, all other things aside (I have no opinion on specific Lemmy instances at all), when you’re quoting Osama Bin Laden as part of your own beliefs or opinion, that’s probably not cool beans, you know?

        I use she/her in case it doesn’t show up in your app.

        This isn’t quoting osama bin laden, it’s an Iranian slogan/expression.

        America as a settler-colonial state is a world-historic evil, death to America
