      Malcolm was right.

      “The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.”

    2024 democrats are why I advocate for bringing back impaling as a method of execution. I don’t even hate republicans this much; at least they actually have a belief system, regardless of how fractally wrong it is.

      They think they’re prepared or desensitized because every week theres a mass shooting. Some sickening machismo in there. But they have no idea what these other people really go through.

        10000% agreed. They don’t understand the neverending string of holocausts after holocausts the west inflicts particularly on Muslims, indigenous peoples (and what they back against those in Latin America is even worse than in the north, too- full on death squads), upon Africa, what they have inflicted in living memory (60s, 70s, 80s) and want to return to inflicting on east and southeast and south Asia.

        I must admit, while it would be terrible and things should not go that far (unless it’s MAD, then let the punishment of the heavens spew radioactive shit all over the Great Satan), if only they knew what it’s like. YanKKKeestan and the west will either have to learn empathy or the rest of humanity will inevitably be driven to the point of wiping them out in complete and utter self-defense.

          I will keep reiterating the devastation they’ve bought upon iraq in the 90s cannot be understated. When I listened to the episode on blowback I had no idea that many children were affected.

            Yeah. Radio War Nerd, whenever they discuss famines or AMerican style total war, emphasize that it’s kids who starve first, kids who get sick first, and kids who survive severe malnutrition or illness often suffer serious developmental problems that result in lifelong harms and burdens. Shit’s fucked. What the US and Israel are doing, and what the US did/is doing in Yemen, are calculated to massacre children and permanently injure the survivors.

          I pray for it. I genuinely pray I get to see these crackers vindicate every last word of Malcolm’s that they haven’t yet already. These crackers are not my countrymen, ain’t a single fuck I give what happens to them. I just hope it’s loud, fiery, and traumatic for them.

      i-am-adolf-hitler We’re raising awareness of Mental Health problems!

      soviet-hmm That’s great! Improved healthcare will be a huge boon for mentally ill people!

      i-am-adolf-hitler Now that people are aware of Mental Health we’re going to weaponize broader public awareness to blame all the crazies for societal problems.

      ohnoes Fuck.

        It distresses me how widespread “who hurt you?” smuglord is as a near-universal put down.

        Yes, people have been hurt, are hurt, are continuing to be hurt, and I feel a deep disgust in my bones for the lowkey ableistic assholes that use that put down to score smugpoints.

        The one single time public outcried (even one bishop joined) in III Reich at the cruel policy was the extermination of people deemed mentally ill. Hitler even listened and ordered to pause the action… after nearly every one of potential victims were dead. And this outcry only even happened in the first place because the victims were overwhelmingly German.

      Seriously, it’s plain as day with a material analysis. The material conditions for the working class aren’t improving either way, but the party with red hats have a (wrong) solution, to blame immigrants and the gays. People falling for fascist rhetoric are miseducated (yay American education system), disillusioned and desperate. A competent and well meaning political party could turn that anguish and contempt for the status quo into results, but Dems are neither of those things. In the end, they also serve capital.

      To meaningfully reform healthcare is to make workers less desperate, it will allow disgruntled and abused workers to leave their workplace and therefore dilute the power of the employers and to take away from the pharmaceutical companies. To meaningfully push through higher wages is to take away from capitalists at large. To meaningfully reform housing is to take away from landlords. To meaningfully reform prisons is to take away from the private prison industry. To meaningfully stop the genocide in Gaza is to take away from the Military Industrial Complex. They’ll promise and pay lip service to those things but will never meaningfully change them.

      They are not well meaning. One of the few aspects in which they are better is abortion and they fumbled that so hard, because they’re also incompetent.

      But no, to the diehard libs, it’s because half the country are mentally ill. That’s the only explanation.

        To put it even more briefly: wine cave liberals believe it is an essential failure of personal worth to not be a wine cave liberal, but their economic system requires more such failures year after year to maintain the wine cave experience.

    Infinite genocide on Harris supporters (regardless of their reasons, fight me) rat-salute-2

    Calling it on the entire west is unhinged but this, I’ll say it straight to their faces if ever need be
