    'Murica sure does love it some war. War over here, war over there. War all over and everywhere. War on brown people. War on drugs. War on civility. War on guns. War is hell? Nah, not for 'murica, War is opportunity for 'murica prosperity.

      As a brown I fully agree, but also look back at history and think… don’t all dominant empires pull the same shit?

        Yes they do, but people are just mad at America specifically right now so they just pretend we’re the only country that has ever done anything evil

          No one pretends that the US is the only country doing anything bad… Arguably China and Russia for instance are still a lot worse when it comes to human right violations.

          But it is a lot more pressing that USA is turning to fascism/authoritarianism since it will then be two global anti-democratic Superpowers not only one.

          And before any .ml users jump the gun. Idgaf about how you think China is so great, keep it to yourselves.

            You’re right, but America is funding the genocide so we’re still getting the shit for it. And don’t get me wrong, we deserve it when we deserve it, but there’s accounts out there unironically asserting that America is the root of all evil in the world and that it’s only America that is bad

          I can’t do much about the Roman Empire, crusades, Conquistadors, Putin or Winnie Pooh. I can criticise them, just as well as Israel’s crimes and the US’. The US is what I have the most contact with and what you’ll hear me complaining about most, but not the only thing.

          Nah, don’t worry dude. America is just on the same level as China, Russia, North Korea and others now: not an enemy, not an ally. A potential threat, with a dictator at its head.

        The resistance and pressure as well as non-compliance Minneapolis has been doing is very good. The only addition is I’d add that they need to regularly guard their neighborhoods, armed. That they have contact with others in multiple ways to warn of ICE in the area. Maybe not armed but when a task force of ICE is found, they have a task force of citizens there to document, resist, and just be general interference. Far too many people talk about resisting and violence against ICE to mean lone wolf shooting. That’s not what we’re calling for.

    The dissonance is amazing. There are ads for murcan tourism playing on tv here ( Australia ). The ads depict national parks, playing children, scenes of beauty. Then you see the real murca in these photos. The scenes from ‘Fallout’ are closer to reality than the tv ads. Makes you wonder who they think they’re fooling with the ads. We laugh at them ( the ads, not the murcans) the same way you laugh at old popeye cartoons.

      I mean, both are true. That’s why some people are saying not to worry about the water on this sinking ship. They think that only if everything is terrible for every single part of the country for everyone will it count, and then say “well it’s not that bad”

      Yeah, the Kremlin is having a great time being continually entertained by the slow death of a country. Yeah, they love to show the dissonance, the hypocrisy, and to say the end of the West is coming according to Aleksandr Dugin.

        It’s crazy how much, even now, American liberals still can’t admit fault without resorting to Judeo-Bolshevick style conspiracy theories.

        And just so you know, most of the world is happy to see the evil empire collapsing, not just those dang ruskies.

    someone in arkansas or oklahoma is reading this thinking “this will never happen in my state because we’re white and racist”

    and they would be right.
