I've already pissed off some people with these comments, but it doesn't matter. The truth is the truth, and if you don't like reality, it's not my fucking problem.
The british soldier hacked to death on a suburban london street is a consequence of british imperialist actions in Afghanistan, and around the world. This is not to say that I support what happened to him, but I am also opposed to the over 8,000 british troops killing people in Afghanistan(and the over 3,000 still in Northern Ireland). There have been just under 500 brit troops killed in that country, with tens of thousands of Afghani civilians killed or displaced because of the war started by the western powers. You cannot go into someone else's house, destroy the place, then say it is such a noble and great thing you are doing, and not expect something to happen in return. There are people over here who will be saddened by what happened to that english soldier, without blinking at the plight of the average Afghani peasant, suffering and dying under years of foreign invasions, not to mention local despots and warlords, some of whom have been propped up by outside powers. I will not apologize for not believing that somehow white english lives are more important than other people's lives. Fuck that. There have been many attacks on english soil over the years, including from other english speaking white people from Ireland and Scotland, all due to the actions of british imperialism. So a tiny piece of the war came home. That's what happens. Change the following poster to read "british" instead of "american".
