Why share the crap info from a crap source which someone has already pointed out is likely a psyop? Especially after neglecting to engage with that comment. Irresponsible.

I will certainly be tuning out all election news if it’s Vance vs. Newsom. Barf. They’re both despicable, slimy, punchable face-having, out-of-touch assholes.

Could you clarify why it’s not good reasoning?

• A = u.s. abducts leader
• B = leader is a problem for the u.s.
• C = leader is a boon to the people
• D = leader is (likely) legitimately elected

Argument:

• If A then B
• If B then C
• If C then D
• A
• Therefore D

We just need “If C then D” to chain A to D since the comment up top didn’t mention it . Oh, I think I see a problem here. In the us with leaders we constantly have “D and not C,” and even worse than the not C’s are the nazis. Ok, I’ll stop.

For clarification’s sake, the coin is capitalism.

I think assassination as a political tool is a few millennia too old to be just a putin thing.

If the Democrats refuse to fight, then the midterms don’t mean shit. We also can’t ignore previous administrations that built the camps and deported in record numbers. The us has always been a democracy for the capitalists only. It’s a white supremacist settler colony, and we can’t scapegoat Trump just because he is like the living avatar of us cultural ideals in the worst way. Even if Democrats somehow have all three branches in '28 and somehow unfuck the supreme court, we cannot consider reform as an end in itself. They are still capitalists who will concede very little, if anything, to the people.

Well, a lot of the nazi leadership didn’t lose, at least not personally. I don’t know about former nazi or nazi descendant historians specifically, but I doubt the thousands of nazis who escaped via ratlines engaged in zero whitewashing. Hell, just look at us corporate ties to nazi germany which alone gives the us reason to obscure parts of the history.

That’s the most concise geopolitical overview I’ve seen.

Is it possible that you can’t see the opinion changing because it is a very slow process that you are only living through a portion of? I’ve noticed more people mentioning the Bengal famine when Churchill is lionized, for example.

They’re all capitalists. Literally every single faction you mentioned. The us will not cease committing atrocities under any feasible future leadership because the us will never allow socialist leadership. Hell, that’s probably the most consistent part of the us government going back more than a century.

I’m with your prediction if you are willing to include the nuclear fireball being a hail mary to stop climate change via nuclear winter (ik the concept is debated but I don’t know the physics)

Any socialist organizing will be painted as anti american. Who gives a shit? The fascists call the neolibs radical, marxist, far left, anti american, you name it, despite the fact that they’re two sides of the same shitty capitalist coin.

Your comment rhymes with telling a child not to stand up to their bully because the bully will call them names. Even a child would answer with, “but they do that already!”

I mean, the Black Panthers murdered by the state are heroes in my eyes, ya know? That seems like a strange argument. As bleak as it is to mention, I feel I must point out that having only the fear of future violence while others must face violence presently is a privilege. The good thing is that getting involved in organizing is also a privilege, the other side of the coin I guess you could say. Way I think about it, you’re gonna live with the fear of state violence already, so the fear from organizing is marginal, possibly negligible.

the US isn’t literally building camps with the explicit purpose of mass murder and genocide

This is a complete mischaracterization of how camps began and evolved in nazi germany while also downplaying the horror of ice detention centers and mass deportations to foreign concentration camps. I’m sure you’ve heard of CECOT. Ever heard this quote?

“We, as the Security Cabinet, will ensure that the penalties are high enough so that none of those who enter CECOT will ever leave walking; they will only be able to leave in a coffin”

But hey, that’s just coming from the Minister of Justice and Public Security of El Salvador. If tens of thousands of people are condemned to die there, is that not mass murder? Keep in mind, this, from the us government’s perspective, is a service they are paying for. Also, this is only one of many arrangements the us has for mass deportation. Please keep in mind, the nazi camps were certainly not all in Germany.

Basically, you’re blurring a whole lot of lines here with your comment.

I hope you take a moment and reflect on why you insist on approaching comparative history in this way.

Simply trying to compare kill counts like history is call of duty only serves to dehumanize the victims.

In my view, just one aspect of the U.S. makes it the worst country ever: its role in the ecological crisis. The us is like three corporations in a trench coat, and a us corporation knew about anthropogenic climate change and kept that internal, and that’s just one instance of fuckery where there are plenty more. That’s the international elephant in the room which nobody seems willing to talk about. We need to also consider all the future atrocities as well as those in the past.

Sorry if this is too personal, but does she have, or has she had in the past, membership in a communist party a hobby which she did as only an amateur? It’s hard for me to take the perspective of someone who doesn’t seem to understand how monetizing a passion can completely ruin it.

At least Cody Johnston drinks the green supplement crap satirically?

I saw some mastodon posters calling this a distraction from the Epstein files as if anti-communism, installing far-right dictators, and privatizing everything weren’t already the highest priorities for burgerland.
