    Unlike you and most people trying to convince me every US soldier is a stormtrooper for the empire, I have family in the region and know people directly affected by this war.

    I never said that US soldiers are innocent, I just don’t celebrate them dying because I think human life is valuable. Edgeposting online feels very cool but doesn’t do anything to end this conflict. If you were so against US imperialism you would do things like protest at home and tell you representatives you’re against it. Demonizing soldiers online is just childish and immature.

    More US soldiers dying will also not let the conflict end sooner which would be the best outcome. Those dozens who have died so far will be replaced by others.

    Doesn’t seem to me like this is an extremly pro-US position.

      This does not work lol

      What, after 3 of these NoKings “”“protests”“” that there was no change whatsoever? The frog costumes doesn’t convince anyone. 3 paragraph signs doesn’t convince anyone.

        The Viet Minh should have simply written strongly worded letters to US senators to convince them to stop incinerating their villages. But alas they chose violence instead, which makes them just as bad as the US death-and-rape squads. I am a serious anti-imperialist and these are my very cool thoughts

          Viet Minh did but forgot their frog costumes so they weren’t able to convince the US.
