  • You should be ashamed of defending this murderous system that has left us no peaceful recourse due to regulatory capture of both parties and therefore no vote to end it ever. Vote Red, vote blue, it’s a vote for murder for profit either way. We don’t get a vote on our murderous economy, just the social symptoms that don’t effect quarterly metastasis expectations.

    You would have this healthcare insurance confidence scam murder their marks who trusted them and paid them in advance in perpetuity when they actually need care and become a threat to profits.

    People like you get more offended when people are murdered in a straightforward manner than with a confidence scheme and a claim denial letter. At least a gun is demonstrating honest intent that isn’t trying to gaslight people into shutting up as it ends their life prematurely.




  • Don’t forget this either:

    We weren’t some benevolent force for good in WW2. People love pointing it out as if we proactively fought for good.

    The Axis thankfully committed the greatest strategic blunder of the 20th century hands down and sunk our Naval fleet. They brought the fight to us. The US was quite fond of eugenics and practiced it in asylum before and after WW2.

    We fought back. That isn’t being a hero, that isn’t coming to save the day. That’s self-preservation.

    The closest we’ve ever been to the good guys was at our founding, and even that was complicated.

    The difference is at least China as far as Eastern powers (fuck Russia) seems to plan for there being a future, regardless of their methods. They invest heavily in infrastructure and education, and I don’t mean mega yachts and private schools for their elite. They invest in their people.

    With the US both leading and coercing the charge (the one silver lining I see in Trump is that any influence we had born of respect or goodwill is dead, and we’re a terrible influence), we’ve been sabotaging anyfuture to goose the next quarterly metastasis call to feed our sociopath profiteers at every conceivable human cost including blood.

    Tolerance of Individual enrichment over collective good is dooming our species, not to mention a lot of surface life we don’t give a shit about that are completely innocent. No major power is without corruption, but if ends matter, if our species having any future is any priority, the US and those it’s successfully infected with its greed disease ain’t it.




  • Too bad they won’t address all the “Christians” that make it their mission to live drunk on cruelty and schaudenfreude.

    If being Christian has anything to do with honoring and following the tenets of Jesus of Nazareth as written in the New Testament, there isn’t a single Christian in the Republican party.

    They use Jesus like a mask or totem to be on “I win morality” base while almost exclusively advocating inhuman atrocities like destroying families and doing the opposite of everything in their supposed own book they’ve clearly never read.

    It’s not like they try but fall short either. This isn’t no true Scotsman, all they do is hate. When is the last time you’ve seen a Republican express love for anyone that wasn’t rooted in angering (hating) their innumerable enemies? Is Jesus not love?



  • That’s both party’s strategy since Reagan got his former opposition on the take.

    Thats what both parties are bribed for.

    Stoke social issue wedges and protect our oligarchs grift economy from us.

    You can have scapegoating and oligarchal exploitation or affirmation ribbons and oligarchal exploitation. That has been the extent of our voter’s power for half a century.

    Im glad the Dems support trans rights, and vote for them as harm reduction, but don’t pretend DNC neoliberal democrats give a shit about a poor Trans person’s right not to die in an underpass of exposure for the crime of being poor as a warning to the other poors.

    Capitalism destroyed our government, captured our constitution, and is literally ending the world (for humans, don’t worry it’ll be fine in a few million years and it’ll be like we never existed, thank goodness for that).

    I find comedy in people likely here due to the greed rot of Spez wanting to go public and now fondling billionaire balls still, here on Lemmy like digital refugees in the wake of capitalism breaking promises to and destroying a community to increase private profit, going “ewww commies and socialists.”

    Credit where it’s due, the capitalist’s Orwell game is God tier.
