*state terrorism

I would make the case that the people being directly killed here by the state, while atrocious, pale in comparison to the number of deaths that will be directly attributed to the cutting of USAid internationally and the loss of healthcare, jobs and environmental regulations in the US. And of course the gutting of the US health department and ending vaccine programs/requirements.

We will likely see a death-toll directly tied to Trump and his administration in the range of seven figures in the next decade.

If they claim they know that these boats have drugs on them, they could just apprehend them when they made port

That would require due process, instead of a spectacle of Shock and Awe.

Also, let's say, hypothetically that these aren't drug boats. Let's say they are boats moving medical supplies or fuel or building materials between Venezuela and Cuba. Let's say they're actually military units working on behalf of the Venezuelan Coast Guard or just fisherman who got caught in an international crossfire.

It's just easier to say "Drug Gang. Killed them." knowing no major American media source is going to publish a rebuttal. Nobody in the US has access to the details of the attack. Nobody is going to interview the families or investigate the wreckage. Nobody is going to contradict this regime when it comes to butchering citizens of the Global South.

So why not call them a drug gang? Call them human traffickers. Call them roving nautical pedophiles. Call them Islamic Jihad.

American audiences won't hear anything different.

But then they would have to actually find said drugs to use as evidence to prosecute them.

It's not like those can't be planted. They're already killing civilians of another country, there's no bottom in their games.

Useful idiots wouldn't be upset if Kamala won because they don't care about the working class.

Literally nobody is saying Kamala would be worse. We're telling the 'stupid fucks' that 'falling in line' is a losing strategy and they should stop relying on it to combat fascism.

Instead of getting mad at the people who didn't fall in line because Kamala is an establishment candidate, you should be getting mad at those who nominated her in the first place. But you're too naive to do that, so here we are.

The two-pronged strategy works because of people like you. I don't expect you to learn, ever.

So Obama didn't drone strike weddings? Stop this partisan polar bullshit, this is a problem with the country.

It was more about prioritizing personal moral integrity over the practical consequences of their (in)action by not preventing fascist a president that announced he would turn your country into a war zone for non-white people.

And of course racism: white people don't really care much about non-white people.

As I understand it, the reason was she wasn't some perfect anarcho-socialist, so until the Mainstream AF Democratic Party that intentionally sidelined Bernie Sanders in 2016 fields a national candidate that is the most far-left progressive imaginable, it's not worth voting at all because it's an act of protest against one's self, which is morally superior to giving a flying fuck about other people who are 100% bound to suffer and die as the result of that action. Basically spoiled rich kid logic.

I'm not yet too old to utilize my second amendment rights, but the people that think like this are the ones that push things in that direction. They're accelerationists of the same magnitude as the hard-right Zionist MAGA fools and don't realize how easily and completely they play right into the hands of every single thing they hate by acting like this.

Now smash the down arrow, crush that report drop-down, and spam me with Marxist diatribes all you little .MLers. It doesn't absolve you of the part you joyfully played in making these crimes happen to all of us a year ago. Y'all are disgusting.

Lemmy?

Do you think we all hold the same opinion or something? You're here too, you're as much under that umbrella of vitriol that you've just spat as the rest of us.

and then its ok to invade for that sweet sweet oil

Déjà vu

I sure hope so. If America has a civil war over evils like this, I don't want Dogey Americans to be able to flee and set down roots in other nations. Our elite are weeds, and they will strangle the life out of Europe and others if given the chance.

That's the neat part! They can't! No one is counting bodies in person, this is all remote us murder, as is tradition.

On the streets

I'm guessing: 65 confirmed at the time of writing, new confirmed coming in all the time.

Over 65 people. He's killing all the retirees.
