a message, hi, hello, to the predominantly white estadounidense community on tumblr: I hope it depresses you to be American. I hope you are realizing how much blood we have on our hands. Decades and generations of it. I don’t want it to make you hopeless and helpless and victimized I want it to make you ashamed and devastated and motivated to do something. Your tax money pays for weapons that kill children overseas and if you got a minimum wage job here you couldn’t afford to live between paychecks. What a shit fucking country. Are we supposed to accept this? Is this how you want to live in ten or twenty or thirty years from now? Do you want to continue to shoulder the responsibility of our great acts of “justice” and “mercy” and “intervention” on the countless souls who don’t even live in our borders? What can your own soul live with? Don’t we owe it to humanity to at least feel the gulf of guilt we’ve made for ourselves?

#YES. we individually are not solely responsible for harm done to the world #but get a grip. you do have a part in this. that part can at least start to protest it #I think the idea that we can only do so much had good intentions to alleviate the overwhelming horribleness of the world but #it’s time we grow up actually. and try and fix things instead of ignore them for the sake of our mental well-being #bc there’s only so much we can ignore really. we’re just treating the symptom #txt #usa hate tag #star’s stuff #dl #Jesus Christ sit with it please SIT with the fact that you are part of a nation that has killed millions of people and hurt others #in countless horrifying ways #I am of the firm belief that no one person is uniquely evil and everyone can be equally good and bad #but there is a breaching point and the United States has breached that point a hundred a thousand times over #I can really only speak for this country and Argentine on a much lesser level so this is where my criticism remains. my point of knowledge #*argentina #it begets my opinion too #I am sorry this is phrased somewhat like those angry tweets by white liberals I might delete it later. I don’t like #how they try to manufacture guilt without calls to action. I’m trying to avoid that but still
