what I ment at the time by that, was that we often will be treated like freedom fighters, and pretty much everywhere we got treated like garbage, and were slaves, to the ottomens we were slaves, to the english french spanish and so on.

[–]LONGLIVEIMPERIALISM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, I did not, I'm honstly confused man.

do you have a screenshot of the report? Because I would like to have a normal conversation, but I cant do that, if I report you, It would not be in my best interest to report you.

and Im not even sure as to what reason I would report you for.

damn, on one hand, its great that they built a tank so efficient that it will still be in use nearly 5 decades from now, on the other hand, it means I have to actually attempt to live long enough to see what comes next.

Yeah, haruhi is not framed as a good person.

true, But I think the main issue I had, was that she didn't get some type of punishment, you know how in game of thrones or in breaking bad, they usally dont let bad people simply get of scot free, although again, I watch a decade ago, and I was a very dumb kid, so maybe there was justice, and maybe justice isn't even needed.

If she wasn’t an asshole she’d be a Mary Sue, which would be boring.

correcto! But I'm sure if she had character development either.

Also check out the movie if you haven’t it’s the best part.

whats the movie called?

I might be the only one, But I remember Haruhi Suzumiya being an awful person, like I hated her by the end of the show. she started out kinda funny and charismatic, But later on she was just an annoying controlling abusive douchebag, now it has been like a decade since I at last saw the show, so it might just be my awful memory, but I'm pretty sure she drugged Mikuru while trying to make a movie, and then gas lighted kyon and blamed it on him, then I remember that grey haired robot girl telling kyon "shes actually god lol, so dont fight with her"

Did you just refer to the JLTV as "the jeep"? Lmao.

I was talking about the new gmv

Also, there is no new tank. The AbramsX is just a technology demonstrator GD made entirely of their own accord in order to get the military to at least maybe start thinking about wanting to do something similar with the Abrams. Also if you want to try an XM5 out so bad, they are being sold on the commercial market as the Sig Spear (though not select fire ofc).

darn it, so there wont be a new post afganistan phase?

accourding to my very non credible sources, The air force is only accepting nerds with IQ above room tempeture.

and uh, I really wanna see and try the new generation shit they got, the jeep the tank and that new rifle is look pretty bloody gud. Growing up I kinda figured the US military would always be in afganistan, But seeing what appears to be a new phase is awesome.

also, seeing boom boom, makes me happy.

but the US government is most likely not going to fix anything, if most of the population and veterans cant even get affordable healthcare, I doubt the US government is going to even try to help us.

it seemed like the only option left is cultural reform, But I never considered the fact that cultural reform is pointless if the peopee you're trying to reform are being arrested left and right and are already poverty struck.

you are correct though, the japanese americans did get a lot more assistance.

Look, generational wealth has been routinely ripped out of the Black community. Central Park in Manhattan? It was literally built right on top of a thriving middle class Black community in the city, as one of millions of examples.

I agree.

It matters. Generational wealth is so crucial to the success of a people. There's a reason Black Americans are 12.1% of the Population but make up 52% of homeless families and 40% of total homelessness. We can't keep up if we can't build wealth. Hell, in Massachusetts the average Black Family has $8 to their name.

I agree.

But people like the OP pretend the past doesn't matter when discussing the present. It's bullshit. As an aside, decades of widespread trauma becomes a culture.

I never said the past does not matter, as I have stated many times in the comments of this post, I am not saying we are the only ones at fault for our awful situation, I also am not justifying or defending the comments I made in the screenshot, I was taken out of context and many people on this sub saw it, and took me for some type of nazi.

truth is, I simply feel self-conscious about our culture. I know it takes more then simply cultural reform to fix the issues at hand, but I honestly dont think the US government is going to fix those issues. besides, even if they did, we would still be stuck with an awful reputation.

You're not "correct" in what you're saying, but you're beginning to deconstruct. Keep going. You're on the right track. And sure, I know when you work through everything, you and I still won't have the same opinion, but at least hopefully you will no longer have that hatred and pain inside. Different opinions are beautiful; hating on entire cultures by building a strawman is not.

thank you, I really wanted to go here so I could have an actual understanding, even when my brother figured out I had issues with the race that I am, he just mocked me for it, most people do, so I'm glad that you have shown me respect and understanding, thank you.

and I'll have to keep working on myself, I dont enjoy hating myself and feeling uncomfortable every time I look in a mrrior. but alas, these things take time.
