athairmor@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•‘Why we fly the Mexican flag at the L.A. protests’1·3 days agoThat’s far from an even comparison. Red caps were nothing of note before MAGA unless maybe your favorite sports team use them. The flag of the United States of America carries far more history and significance than a red cap. Any future version of the USA will include the same flag. Every American should identify with it in some level. It’s worth taking control of its meaning and not let it be a synonym for fascism.
athairmor@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•‘Why we fly the Mexican flag at the L.A. protests’2·3 days agoBut, you’re letting them control the narrative with 🇺🇸=white, racist government and 🇲🇽=unruly protesters.
They want 🇺🇸 to be a symbol of the white oppressors. They want people to look at the protests and see a foreign flag because their whole narrative revolves around immigrants being invaders.
You want most Americans to look at the protesters and see themselves.
athairmor@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Analysis: Obama’s awkward call for a broad-scale Trump resistance0·5 days agohe could have rolled back everything Bush did. The Afghanistan invasion, the extraordinary rendition, the “enhanced interrogation”, the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act. He could have ended all of those.
-
The USA was already heavily bogged down in Afghanistan when Obama took office. He could not have simple pulled out. Look at all the shit Biden took when he did after involvement had already been scaled back.
-
Obama did end torture at Guantanamo.
-
American Presidents don’t have the power to repeal laws.
Obama wasn’t perfect—not even great. But, those are weird things to lay on him.
