A lot of people really take for granted the class background of immigrants who come to western countries. As a general rule of thumb, if they had the means to immigrate to the west they would’ve been upper class by the standards of their home country. Their views will be shaped accordingly. This is not to say that their opinions aren’t valid by default, more that you should take this into account when evaluating their testimony

Doesn’t matter Bc ppl n the collective will consume you however they please based on various heteropatriarchal capitalist signifiers

Individual liberation literally .. literally does not matter bye

This Memorial Day remember that the United States has Never participated in a worthwhile war. You have been brainwashed since birth into hero worshipping murderers. Face reality.
