Who is "we" and "us" here

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

US us.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Ah. As a citizen of the US I dont use "we" and "us" when referring to the US state.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago

So?

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Because it is not necessarily great to subsume your identity to an empire

And that's what you've decided this is?

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Why else would you speak of the US state as if you were a part of it, with "we" and "us"?

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Because I'm in it. What do you want from me?

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -2 points 9 months ago

You're in the US government?

Lolol. No.

Not referring to when soldiers of our genocidal government is attacked as "an attack on us" is literally just not being a nationalist.
