They want the “other” to get persecuted, but not the ones they actually know; those are people.

Not be cowards? Admit that liberal democracy is dead?

It really is that they’re allergic to rocking the boat, even if the boat is sinking and people will die if we don’t evacuate asap. If liberals knew their democracy was dead, they’d actually turn to proper strategies of resistance quicker. Unfortunately, Democrats don’t want shareholders to be in any way displeased.

I’m only surprised they didn’t:

A. Turn it into some sort of conversion therapy scheme, or…

B. Shut it down on day one.

They’re competition in the “global empire” game, which means they can never be on our team.

You mean Netanyahu’s bffs?

Not just Republicans. Democrats are okaying a ton of bullshit as well.

I don’t. This place is just as fucked as the rest of America; an oligarch’s dream. It’s run by corprocrats who’ve mastered the art of making progressive sounding legislation that fills the pockets of special interests. Trojan horse ballot measures that take a social science degree to see through are common, while the leadership is full of opportunistic snakes like Newsom.

It being powerful and slightly opposed to Trump does not make it good.

My personal perception of this tool:

He doesn’t want a huge war that the US might get dragged into. He’s been somewhat consistent about disliking drawn out conflicts out of pure self interest. They are usually a bad idea for presidential administrations, driven by the larger ambitions of the liberal empire. Trump cares not for the empire, only for himself.

They can’t have a panic! If people realize it’s open season on anyone the fascists don’t like, the shareholders will be displeased.

We probably should be less reliant on cars. Public transit saves lives. Similar to automobiles, LLMs are being pushed by greedy capitalists looking to make a buck. Such overuse will once again leave society worse off.

The brown shirts have the keys to the kingdom, and so there’s no easy way to get rid of them. By my count they’ve already won, and will be able to do a depressing amount of damage before anyone could hope to stop them. If you’re a vulnerable group who has the opportunity to leave and isn’t ready to die fighting, leaving is the safest bet.

Of course this country “looks more like a fascist dictatorship,” that’s the goal. That ship has sailed.

You might’ve seen shit coming, but most Americans just don’t want to accept that the world they’re used to is crumbling. It’s annoying af.

It’s not like Palestinians have viable options. I really see no way out of this genocide for them without help of powerful external forces.

As painful as it will be, they leave few options outside of a third party at this point. They’d need to focus on districts where they will minimize negative consequences, but there must be a willingness to bargain with mutual loss in favor of Republicans. The corprocrats are always more willing than the left to risk fascists winning, but given how much they’re going to the right recently, they’re really not much better.

Hamas is monster fed by Netanyahu while he starved all better alternatives. It’s complex, but the fundamental answer is still Zionist imperialists bad.

This should be a wakeup call for service members everywhere to plan their exit now before they end up deployed against the homeland too.

There aren’t many with extra at this point. The worker squeeze is at the max.

So they don’t get disappeared? So they live long lives? If you can go to Harvard, you can go somewhere better outside of this evil nation.
