Democrats: Coming out against genocides they started and perpetuated for decades, bravely.

Commit to the bit. The bit is eternal.

You can learn everything you need to know about what America is as a country by comparing the total lack of a spine to prosecute Donald Trump for anything worth actually mentioning to the fact that the entire original leadership of BLM was brutally murdered in multiple incidents that clearly involved foul play only for there to be no meaningful investigations into their deaths.

Fascist billionaires get jerked off with velvet gloves by the state, while even the mildest of leftist organizers get suicided by six rounds to the back of the head in the burning wreckage of their car miles away from any roads they’d ever drive down on a regular basis.

Working class people generally care that their rent and groceries doubled in five years without raises to cover the difference, yes. If you can’t provide an answer to those problems as the incumbents, then it’s hardly shocking when no one shows up to vote for you.

How do you purge 95% of a party and all of its power brokers and backers without just building a new party? It’s not like the capitalists came in and hijacked it, they were always one half of the American single-party state.

He is a finn, what do you expect from him?

Continued use of the swastika in his military and a stubborn refusal to acknowledge how many Soviets the Finns starved to death in Leningrad while working with the Third Reich, presumably.

President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.

…and that is why we’ve handed billions upon billions of dollars worth of military equipment to the side actively committing a genocide, and why I’m putting out a statement condoning the political assassination of one of the people who we would theoretically be working with to create peace in the first place.

Death, and I cannot emphasize this enough, to America.

Who could’ve guessed that trying to invade the world’s most infamously uninvadeable region could’ve ended poorly for a combatant that has a smaller military than its opponent and has been having major logistics issues?

Fortunately for all involved it’s not like there was any historical precedent for this being a bad idea.

The curvature of spacetime does wild shit to how you would expect physics to work. If you want to fall into a gravity well, you have to slow down or you’ll just slingshot past it.

My favorite genre of journalism: other countries’ journalists writing about the US the same way the US writes about their countries. I’m just sad they didn’t dredge up some “America expert” who’s never been to the US and doesn’t speak English to call for mass balkanization of the country followed by conspiracy theory screeds for the extra flavor.

I’m sure he’ll think real hard about what he’s done on the way home. Maybe even dry his tears with the truckloads of money and munitions Harris is complicit in handing him without reservation to commit genocide with.

You won’t be able to drive them on the road unless the DoT has done safety testing on that specific model of car. You can own one, you’re just not going to be able to put plates on it or get it insured.

Presumably there are enough sane Ukrainian officials left to not want to wake up to nuclear hellfire.

While I wouldn’t put it past Google/YouTube to do something as shitty as this, I think people are far too quick to assume foul play over the much more likely possibility that the world’s largest video platform occasionally shits itself.

The US once again going through a dozen Suez Canal crises all at once, each one somehow more cartoonishly stupid than the last.

At this point I feel like if you want to radicalize someone just point them to a picture of that barely-welded-together mess and tell them their tax money went towards that to the tune of $320 million.

Never would’ve happened. Western capital saw the vast natural wealth of the Soviet bloc the way a starving wolf sees a steak, and were never going to allow the new Russian bourgeoisie to join the West as equals. When it became clear that Russia wasn’t going to sell itself out to foreign capital, the West responded by violating every agreement they’d made with Yeltsin to bring about the end of the USSR and isolating them.

The goat pastures call to us all.

Speaking exclusively to Euronews in September, Estonia’s foreign minister Margus Tsahkna warned of Moscow sending migrants across their 300km long border as a form of hybrid attack.

MFW I’m in a comical racism competition and my opponent is a Baltic government official

Just comical amounts of racism. I guess it’s only fitting that the US chase the braindrain it relies on to drive any productive sectors it hasn’t outsourced back to their home countries as it spirals into imperial decline.

Don’t forget waking up a month or two later and realizing that you no longer care about the subject you’ve been hyperfocusing on and now have no idea what to do with yourself until the next hyperfixation shows up.
