the people who only have a tiny army because american soldiers are expected to show up and help them need to stop acting like american soldiers don't do anything. the socialism in your country that allows you to pretend you are superior is subsidized by the american military. americans are hyper aware of how much money is spent on the military and how many other "better" countries only have a token military because of american military bases. we are also hyper aware of how quickly your socialism falls apart the second you have to support a real military. we have seen how you treat brown immigrants. you don't hide it well.

everyone wants to say Democrats don't "message" right but no one wants to admit that GOP messaging is hatred and that is extremely appealing to a lot of people
like they don't want to admit that a lot of people in the United States genuinely love the message of hatred, authoritarianism, and oppression. Fascism is on the rise globally, it's not a uniquely American problem and it's on the rise because people want it. because democracy is grunt work, it's slow, and we live in an instant gratification society that thinks four years is more than enough time to fix and change everything
and it's not
eight years isn't
the kind of change the United States needs is grueling, consistent, constant work, and you can't just flip a "messaging" switch and undo systems of oppression, changing cultural attitudes, educational curricula. It's long term work.
It's like brushing your teeth. Doing it consistently doesn't guarantee you don't have problems, but if you DON'T do it, you'll DEFINITELY HAVE BAD PROBLEMS.

rules exist because people fucked up so bad that somebody had to make a rule.
the idea that people just make up rules for the hell of it is the idea of a child who should be quiet when the adults are talking.
for the terminally stupid; if trump had gotten congressional approval then there would have been intelligence, there would have been investigations, there would be a paper trail so that if the decision turned out to be wrong; there would be a new rule so it would not happen a second time as well as knowing who had failed at their job.
the real issue isn't that trump went to war with iran. the issue is that he went to war based upon a decision tree that we will never know. he listened to people who will never be held accountable. in order to make his decision he had to side step every system implemented so that this would not happen. There are a group of people willing to sacrifice the lives of multiple countries for a purpose we don't know, we can only hope it is for money, and we have no way to work against them until we know who they are.
those of us who humanized people and were worried about war crimes voted against trump. those of you who played gotcha with the election need to shut the fuck up. people were going to get killed because that is what republicans do. if you were okay with that then shut the fuck up. stop pretending that you care about killed people now that you have to see the bodies. the rest of us cared before the election; back when people like you said we were just trying to scare people. shut the fuck up with your fake compassion. this is what you voted for.
shit is about to get weird and you dipshits are trying to act superior because democrats are listing the details related to that weird shit. none of you are going to be ready.
If you’re a liberal and/or Democrat who is upset that “Trump didn’t get congressional approval” to bomb Iran, I fear you’ve lost the plot. Who cares if he didn’t follow procedure?? Focus on the real issue which is fact that he entered a war with Iran. Stop getting caught up in procedures and rules and grow some fucking empathy. Too many of you are more concerned with ‘following the rules’ than recognizing war crimes and the implications of this bombing. People are getting killed, okay? Learn to humanize them instead of your stupid ‘gotcha’ moment.

This was always what “burning it all down” was going to look like btw. Sorry if you thought it was going to lead to you personally leading a kangaroo court against whatever politician you had the most personal animosity towards and starting your cartoon version of a hippie commune where there was no rape and murder and nobody had to be in charge of waste disposal while every poor person in the world suddenly magically had enough to eat.

people are mad but the thing being discounted is how much Apple and other tech companies have punished people for saying no.

I am old enough to remember when stories had an actual title instead of just using the first sentence of the synopsis.

We’ve had close to 15 years of the American left as it exists being in the public spotlight. We do not need to work on “faith” anymore, we have the concrete data of the things they have said and done to inform our opinion of them.
And what they’ve said and done has been anti-democratic waffling non-policy that costs Democrats elections, and Jew hatred that has now amounted to literal murder.

I get the aesthetic of blaming democrats and pretending "liberals" aren't paying attention but, fucking but, it was the left who said trump was to the left of hillary, trump was anti-war, trump was better than kamala, trump wouldn't do the things he said he wanted to do.
the people who complained that republicans wanted to turn up the heat are not the frogs about to boil.
you dipshits who thought both parties are the same are the ones who need to stop voting for the people who enjoy watching you boil.

if they were chained together; you would only need one guy to drive.
they should invent a bus that never gets stuck in traffic because it's on its own path separated from the roads. and then chain multiple of them together and put it on rails. has anyone had this idea before.

some people have had sex with dr. doom.
some people are taking "doomed" to mean "dead". this is actually a misconception! you can be doomed even if you don't die! it's sometimes worse if you don't die!

we also fixed a lot of material problems. like literally clothes were made out of such flammable materials that children were practically torches. what didn't burn would literally melt into your skin and the doctors would have to peal the skin off to stop infections. this graph does not fully represent the fuck ton of problems that we solved to be safer from fire.

Honestly, one of the biggest frustrations with ACAB etc is the lack of other options. I absolutely avoid calling the police, but at the same time, there are things where we just don't have anyone else to call.
An old coworker was relentlessly hounded at work because she admitted calling 911 and having a squad car sent because someone was stalking her on her way home from work and threatening her. People were so mad that she called the cops, but none of the Fuck 12 Anarchists were offering to walk her home.
There was briefly a "AnarchoCommunist Queer Security/Safety Cooperative" who you could call... if they had anyone taking calls at the moment and if any of them were available/willing to come. If not, I guess just be willing to get jumped for their moral superiority?
