Hey, Americans. You’re all complicit as long as these people feel safe leaving their homes every day.

By all means, though- don’t do anything. Just, you know, post a sad little defensive reply to make yourselves feel better.

No, I'm not complicit because I'm not a barely discriminate murderer.

“Barely discriminate murderers,” everyone:

Has no skin in the game, does nothing himself, blames everybody else for inaction.

How's that latest edition of Internet tough guy? Good read?

How can we make them feel unsafe?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Sure. Let me rot in jail to take of the one person that represents all the assholes that will still be alive and share his beliefs. That checks out.

It sucks, but this pain teaches the future generations how god-damned crazy they sound. It's not an overnight fix. It's going to take decades.

It would in fact be better if a foreign country took care of it.

I think slaves have it hard enough already without feeling unsafe to leave their homes
