Good bye Euro Social Democracy, was fun times before being forced to rearm
Militarize? We already spend more on the military than the next 9 countries combined. And we have 5 different wars going on right now that nobody can even name without googling.
Neither of those is a particularly new situation.
As opposed to all the other years after 1945 when USA ruled by being nice and kind, huh?
I can’t wait to hear the americans say “Well, I didn’t vote for him. And I voted for obama, twice!” as I’m being invaded. Very reassuring.
In fairness, I didn’t vote for him. And I voted for obama, twice! /s
I only voted for Obama once. The first time, I voted for John McCain. What a brainwashed fool I was. What a brainwashed fool I still am; for some reason, I believe that a magical someone is gonna save us all.
The works wouldn’t allow us to commit such atrocities, right?
-Looks a Palestine- fuck.
It has taken too long, much too long, but a citizens resistance is coming. Some of actually realize the system is broken beyond repair and cannot count on leadership to do anything.
But it’s going to be long and sloppy. A lot of good people are going to lose their lives standing up to the world’s biggest military on home soil.
Making it seem so complicated is part of the calculated effort to reduce resistance. I invite folks to study how domestic resistance to the US invasion of Vietnam helped end US involvement.
I know it wasn’t bloodless but a good solid first step is not feeding your (collective your) babies to the war machine and making involvement in the military industrial complex an unforgivable social sin.
Whenever i encounter the “we cant revolt, theyll shoot us” argument from americans i always think to myself “so youd rather they shoot someone else in a different country then? Right”
Its clear subconsciously at least they think theyre superior and value their own lives above other nation’s peoples.
They have to think about their families all the time.
Obviously an US american family is worth more than the world!
Literally just be mean to a military recruiter. Hell just point and laugh or roll your eyes. Pull your kids from cadets. Shun ROTC participants. Refuse sponsorships from military contractors. Don’t take internships at them. Tell them they can’t have a float at your local parade.
All this talk about revolt and it doesn’t really feel like most folks have even considered how impactful being mildly annoying can be.
It’s more like “Rich oligarchs” to democracy
tow-may-to; tow-mah-to
mind explaining this one?

Please don’t use sexualized attacks like that. This isn’t reddit.
It may not be the most tasteful comment, would it have been removed if I used fellating?
Honest question, freedom of expression is important (even if not absolute) but censorship for this metaphor when he wouldn’t even read it is a bit much IMOYes it would (or should). I don’t think we should be using sexualized metaphors as demeaning attacks in any circumstances.
OK fair enough.
And thanks BTW for your quality work and contributions here and elsewhere.
