I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over all that freedom and democracy. Or was that gunfire? It's sometimes hard to distinguish the two.
Idk. I just feel like making fun of the victims of fascism to be in poor taste ๐คท๐ป
Perhaps. The majority cheered them on when when they freedoming and democratizing the rest of the world with the most obnoxious displays of patriotism and hypocrisy.
Now those same forces have turned inward and the victims are mostly people who failed to prevent this and are still failing to rise to the occasion. I don't want them to feel comforted because they are victims. I want them goaded into fixing their shit.
So you have no clue what's going on here. The majority have been against all this shit for decades. Shut the fuck up
That's not remotely true; brutality against the global South has been bipartisan American tradition for a long time
I don't care how you feel. Your moral position is as important as a butterfly's fart in a hurricane.
I care that you act and act effectively. I'm not seeing it. For decades your collective thumbs have been up your asses and you're losing very badly. Save your anger for your real enemies. Fix your shit.
