Death to all billionaires.
Wait until a new law make mandatory to implant Musk’s Neuralink in every brain. Than it will be risky to think about these things.
More sanity, humanity ,rights and compassion and generosity than death, but whatever…
Okay, okay. Hear me out. I don’t know what exactly you mean by “death to [country]”. If you mean that the government should change, if necessary by force I would at last kind of agree since I also really dislike and disagree with the governments of these countries and they do seem pretty hostile. BUT it sounds more kill every person in that country. And I would very strongly disagree with that. There are terrible people in every country and there are also nice people in every county. And if for example every Republican voter in the US was a racist and rapist that would not justify killing the other ~60% of the country. At least how you put it in this meme just spreads hate. We the people should focus on improving the world and working together, maybe hating our governments but definitely not hating each other because of our governments. In the end, that is exactly their goal. If we focus on hating each other, we will not peruse the more important goals.
Saying “death to x country” is just a shorthand for total opposition to that state, its ruling class that controls the state, and those who would uphold that state. It isn’t a call for genocide.
Taking this seriously is pretty silly.
if we wanted to say “death to all americans” we would be saying “death to all americans”, “death to America” means death to America
Liberals: Orange man bad! Hes got to go!
Ali Khamenei: Death to America means death to Trump and Bolton. We have nothing against the American people.
Liberals: WHY ARE THE MUSLIMS SO HATEFUL??
it’s because they see as us idiot cavemen who can’t speak properly, the same as the critisism for Ansarallah’s banner, they say in it death to America and death to Israel, if they wanted to say “death to Jews” they wouldn’t have used a word other than death.

The US falling is going to absolutely be a net positive for the global south, who is looted and plundered every minute and every day by imperialism. A world without the US empire is one that can actually build itself up.
literally every country stands to benefit from the downfall of the US, except itself, israel and maybe canada
The truth seems to be quite contentious here on lemmy lol 😆
well that’s massively simplifying it. I don’t see China being any better
Why not? The US runs on imperialism, the only reason why its economy “works” is because it uses its vast financial capital to subjugate and plunder the global south, and bombs, sanctions, coups, invades, etc any country that tries to go against that. The PRC doesn’t function that way, and is a big part of development in the global south.
Their behaviour wrt tibet, hong kong, taiwan, and the uyghurs come to mind. China is also happy to meddle in the affairs of other countries.
I know little of the workings of the global south, but how much of belt and road is just power projection, making countries dependent on china? They leave countries with immense debt
I wonder which part of my first post people objected to
I don’t think you really know what you’re talking about. You listed off a bunch of buzzwords, but examined none of them. Tibet, for example, was a feudal, slave-driven country run on torture before being liberated by the PLA. It just sounds like you uncritically take the anti-PRC narrative at face value.
Same with BRI, the PRC does not leave countries with immense debt. Not only do they frequently forgive loans, but they also don’t come with stipulations requiring giving up sovereignty like western loans do.
You need to step back and actually research what you’re talking about, rather than just taking the US State Department at their word. People objected to your entire comment, that’s why it’s sitting at 9 downvotes and only your one, solitary upvote. The world would be far better off without the genocidal US Empire.
I kept it short because I considered it obvious and didn’t want to write something longer.
I know enough of what the PLA did to the Buddhist people and culture in Tibet, and I don’t hear this predominantly from western sources. Similar for their treatment of Uyghurs, though I think most of my news on that probably is Western.
That’s interesting to hear about the BRI, I will bear it in mind, but will need to verify.
The Dalai Lama was backed by the CIA, and the mode of production was feudalist, relying on slavery and torture. The US backed anti-PRC movements here to destabilize the region, but nevertheless since the PLA liberated Tibet the Xizang autonomous region has seen massive material improvements in key quality of life metrics.

I think you forgot a few on your list.
(I would add Syria but I refuse to use the al qaeda flag)
Just wait till you find out who designed the Palestine and Lebanon flags. And all the other Red black green white ones.
??
The British and French.
I always heard that Sharif Hussein designed the Palestinian flag.
Do you have source for this?
Sharif Hussein led the Western backed “Arab revolt”. From yours truly, Syces-Picot and T.E Lawrence “of Arabia.” The reason the Middle East is in shambles is because of the divide and conquer balkanization Sykes-Picot made possible. Sharif Hussein was a British agent doing nothing more than their bidding.
Palestinians are flying the flag of the revolt which brought them the Balfour declaration. In which the British gave Palestine to the Israelis. It’s comically ironic. Though most of them probably don’t know this and it’s not really worth it criticizing it.
Almost all of Middle Eastern countries after the fall of the Ottoman Empire have a red-white-green-black flag. And they were colonized by the British. It’s pretty obvious which colors they’re flying.
I’m familiar with Sykes Picot and the history of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoomans. I’m not sure its totally fair to characterize Hussein as a British agent but I’m open to more evidence on the matter.
If we are being honest, Antoun Saadeh had the most realistic analysis of nationhood in the region of “the Levant”: everyone is Syrians basically and has been Syrians for thousands of years. These statelets are just parts of bilad al Sham.
However, I’m pretty sure that after the last century of sectarianism and Sykes Picot, that return is basically impossible now and I know for a fact that many people in “Natural Syria” (or Greater Syria) categorically reject the concept.
At this point in time Palestine is the central struggle for all Syrians, Arabs, Muslims, and justice-loving people on earth. And the flag is a universally recognized symbol for that struggle. So I’m going to respect the flag.
2013 poll about biggest threat to world peace. US won by a majority.

You are probably right
