Telling him anythin is not yanking the chain. As long as the US keeps supplying him with weapons and money he knows he can keep doing what he wants.

How is Biden yanking the chain?

He hasn't done anything to stop the funding and the sales of weapons.

Who voted that government in?

Yeah no, I'm allowed to criticize Biden as much as I want. If you don't want to hear any criticism of your favorite candidate then just ignore it.

Jesus Christ I swear Biden supporters are starting to get as annoying as Trump supporters.

You can't criticize anything about their dear leader ot they come out of the woodwork to defend him.

If MLK existed in current time, he would be called a tankie by most people on Lemmy.

His political ideas would be regarded as extremist, and the majority of the people here would not have supported him.

Israel support is one of those things where you can confidently say that both sides are the same

As someone from Latin-America, I think this happens for a number of reasons, including:

  1. The legacy of colonialism: The spanish caste system left a strong imprint on latin american culture tha hasn't disappeared yet. This basically boils down to: Ligth skin good, dark skin bad. T

  2. Right-wing propaganda through the internet: The terms "SJW", "Woke" "Forced diversity" and whatnot have become very widespread in the hispanic internet. You can go to any hispanic forum and you will find people complainig about "wokies ruinning their videogames/movies, etc"

  3. US-backed anti-socialist propaganda: The US pretty much killed all leftist movements in Hispanic-america during their infancy. When it didn't kill them, it still acted with hostility towards them. On the contrary, far-right movements were tolerated if not supported directly. This has created the perfect environment for the far-right to prosper.

There are probably other reasons, but these are almos certainly involved

I witnessed the dangers of authoritarism, so I'm going to vote for... the most authoritarian douche that I can find"

Honestly I think it's time to stop pretending they are poor refugees and treat them as the fascist assholes they really are.
