just sound them out for how many corporations owning everything is fine with them. is it 6 or maybe 7? because thats about right nowadays.

just ask ‘what if two corporations own everything’

Well, I’m not american. I don’t know enough about the Hawaii situation, all I have to go on is some accusations here and there that the government failed in it’s duty. That’s not enough to make a real judgement of the situation, and I haven’t looked into the matter more deeply.

What I’m more wary of is the growing chorus of people who seem to think that criticism of the US government only exists online because of signal boosting from nefarious Chinese-Russian troll farms. If you’re a liberal you’re supposed to pride yourself on the institutionalized self criticism that is supposed to exist in a liberal democracy. Now we have the democrats and the republicans both united in partisan hackery and a desire to ascribe negative speech to either Russiagate or Soros and The Jews®. This is not a good thing.

From what I understand the US government did fail terribly during the Katrina disaster, and then the local government made full use of the opportunity to segregate and ethnically cleanse some historical black neighborhoods. So it’s not like this is an impossible idea that came out of the blue.

actual plot of a prattchet book

and also a common dogwhistle by alt right types. its the old maxim. if you’re poor and socialist, that makes you jealous. if you’re rich and socialist, that makes you a bleeding heart moonperson.

they are trying to dunk on us for our 0 tolerance policy for transphobia and our strong pro lgbt+ stance. which is bad enough for them because they are supposed to be in favor of such things. yet the liberals betray their own bad faith by tarnishing the community all at once. they can’t just settle for mental gymnastics, they gotta go even beyond and accuse us of being fake gay people as well.

to protect JOBS probably

Ukraine to defend themselves.

Do you think the people of eastern ukraine have a right to defend themselves?

china dominates the consumer goods market, period. by these standards the chinese have been supplying every NATO war for the past 20 years.

and then they criticize mao for sending the white collar workers to do peasant collar jobs and stuff

To be fair, the democrats were absolutely bloodthirsty when Obama was elected warlord and he waged war against the peoples of Syria and Libya. It’s a bipartisan problem affecting both liberal parties.

I’m currently serving in the US military and am very confident that Western media at large is on the money

‘thank you for your service’, you say when someone describes their career pushing paper in the afghani legation quarter

Sure, we can joke about this but consider, that if I or anybody I know thought like that we simply wouldn’t discuss politics at all. As that’s something that liberals and fascists also do.

So you’ve watched enough american media to believe that political memes are something that Russians do, and that they totally destroyed american democracy with those memes? Well, I’ve seen more than my fair share of NAFO and americans online making memes about how non westerners should all be genocided. That won’t keep me from making fun of a fascist like Ron DeSantis with a meme.

is there anything else that you refuse to do because russians potentially do them as well?

Yes, you know that the US can do almost anything it wants and that it won’t trigger a war with Mexico. It can sanction thousands or millions to death by starvation and lack of medical supplies. It can bomb people. It can seize and occupy territory if it really wants to. Not because the US wouldn’t be waging war then, but because the Mexicans and the rest of latin america are too weak to fight back. And in knowing this you can then claim that, actually, ‘this is misleading 4/5 pinocchios Ron DeSantis only wants the right to do a little gunboat diplomacy with capital punishment characteristics and that’s not really a war’.

I’m sure that if China drone bombed someone in New York the Americans would be super chill about it.

Trump made Hillary eat so much shit over the Iraq War, and here you’ve got Ronny saying he wants to jumpstart the greatest refugee crisis in the world right at the border.

Why do you think your base wants a wall, Ron?

again,

The United States is not an arbiter of which Mexicans are to be extrajudicially executed by drone strikes. You’re acting like a coward who’s only too happy the Mexicans are too weak to strike back.

you keep proving them right

yeah america has uniquely bad commuter rail for it’s level of wealth

hell, america has uniquely bad commuter rail for it’s level of rail development

it absolutely didn’t have to be the case. the USA was an industrial colossus and then made the political decision to have shitty rail. it’s not alone in that mistake. but it now holds onto it for stupid ideological reasons to the point that it’s now sabotaging it’s freight rail as well.

jesus just take the L

On balance, the West is a far better influence on the world

NATO has bombed and destroyed not just Iraq, but the majority of the middle east. It runs an occupation force today in Syria. NATO didn’t just destroy Iraq, it colonized Iraq’s agriculture, which is now dependent on imports from NATO while it feeds pasta to Texan schools. NATO has transformed Libya into an open air slave market, flooded Syria with weapons, backed Israeli Apartheid, blockaded Iran, couped the government of Pakistan, and caused a famine in Afghanistan on their way out by sanctioning yet another people. The little girls whose rights NATO countries cared about so very much then starved to death. Not for any reason, not to achieve any objective. But only out of spite.

NATO has couped and propagandized it’s way across Latin America. This is not ancient history. It is current and ongoing. It claims outright that they won’t stop blockading Venezuela until it’s oil is owned by american shareholders. So not only bombs, deaths by starvation and lack of medicine are perfectly fine for the organization. Just as Syrians and Chinese people have no right to territorial integrity, Cubans have had no right to ally with whoever they want for generations.

NATO runs an actual and currently existing Colonial Empire across Africa. One of it’s leading voices, France, owns the infrastructure, finances and natural resources of dozens of countries, assassinating its way into total dominance. Then it gives some scraps back to those colonies, and calls it ‘Foreign Aid’. Berating the poors for being so dependent. Once challenged, NATO has yet again chosen to starve people to death with trade wars on basic infrastructure, food, and medicine.

I’m Brazilian. When the Bolsonaro family was literally calling Chinese monkeys on twitter the Chinese were remarkably patient. The USA berates us for being ‘anti-american’ because we aren’t grateful of how Biden chose not to coup us last year. As if it’s not humiliating enough that a fascist in this country can draw on the history of America and outright ask the CIA for help staying in power. There are now US troops supporting the coup government of Peru. Right after coup attempts in Bolivia and Venezuela. We now watch as high ranking US government officials float the idea of invading Mexico, under the cover of a war on drugs. After years of waging it in Colombia and Central America. But we all know it’s because Mexico nationalized stuff that Americans don’t want to see owned by Mexicans.

There are no fucking standards for comparison. There are no regions of this world which do not witness current and ongoing hybrid wars waged by NATO countries at the behest of the USA.

The West is a defensive alliance between warmongerers. The Americans at least have the decency of wearing their thirst for blood on their sleeve. Democrat or Republican, they’ve all had their share of wars they enjoy supporting. It’s the Europeans who will cry on TV while sending volunteers to Iraq and Afghanistan.

I only pray for any people who is targetted by NATO’s eye of sauron. Or has to make do with sharing a border such an evil collection of governments.

that’s what liberalism defines itself as.

noo liberalism is when karl marx forces videogames to have age of consent in them :(
