Just because I’m an American doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to talk about a topic.

That’s where you’re wrong kiddo! 🤭

Same place, and as an American I can not shut up lol

According to the laws surrounding the sanctions on settlers, the Biden administration must now start applying sanctions to Israel.

The fact that Alex Jones beat her to the punch on calling it a genocide is embarrassing.

The uncommitted votes are having an effect! All of the little worms telling me that pressuring Biden was pointless and I should just support him to stop Trump can eat my ass. This is a result of the public pressure his administration is facing. Our voices matter.

This isn’t good enough. We need an unconditional ceasefire to then negotiate on hostages, but this is another step in the right direction.

We did that.

queermunist , 5 months ago

The Biden campaign is openly troubled by the uncommitted vote campaign, so this seems like the obvious next step. Is there an alternative explanation? Why reverse course now? What else changed?

queermunist , 5 months ago

He’ll never admit it, but it’s a deduction based on the open evidence of the Biden campaign recognizing the uncommitted Problem and based on there not being alternative explanations (or at least, any good or consistent ones)

I don’t think we should celebrate yet, but this is encouraging and that matters. It’s encouraging to see that public pressure seemingly matters.

The entire concept behind representative democracy is that voters influence their representatives. What I’m getting from you is that you don’t actually believe that America is a democracy or that representatives actually represent voters.

I guess I don’t totally disagree. I just think that even if Biden might not be worried about electability, he must be worried about his regime’s legitimacy. The last thing he wants is a repeat of the BLM uprisings.

Still not hearing an alternative explaination from you btw

Antisemitic in the Zionist sense of “anyone opposed Israel is an antisemite”. Unless you have an example…?

It’d be really funny if ByteDance doesn’t sell and TikTok getting banned crashes the economy.

No, but if you blow the whistle on a US company you might end up suicided.

Where do you think Israel gets its bombs?

queermunist , 5 months ago

Israel, with full US backing, has killed ten times as many children in Gaza as Russia has in Ukraine. Just saying.

queermunist , 5 months ago

They’re US bombs dropped by a US ally with full US backing. Israel might as well be the 51st State.

Just because the bombing is being done by a proxy instead of the US military doesn’t mean the US gets to wash its hands of the genocide.

queermunist , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

When the US’s unsinkable aircraft carrier bombs Gaza, that’s the US bombing Gaza. Actually it’s not even a proxy, like when Saudi was carpet bombing Yemen with US bombs. Israel might as well be the 51st State because it could not exist without unlimited US support. It’s just a US outpost.

You’re trying to pedantically dismiss a point on a technicality, but you’re still wrong. What Israel does, the US does. It’s one-to-one.

Cool conspiracy theory. Is it Hamas? Russia? Or the biggest boogieman of all, Chyna!

The thing that stuck with me about Bowling for Columbine is that the school was in the same zip code as a DoJ establishment manufacturing rocket technology for war, in the most violent country in modern history. Drawing that connection between the violence done by the State and the violence done by citizens was very eye opening for me. The problem isn’t just the guns, or the NRA, or lobbying - the problem is that the United States is an evil country and we are all complicit in its evil. This is normal. ‘Dad goes off to the factory every day, he builds missiles of mass destruction.’ What’s the difference between that mass destruction and the mass destruction over at Columbine High School?

queermunist , 5 months ago

From an interview Michael Moore gave to DemocracyNow he explains the connection pretty well, I think. America is a violent country and it makes violent people.

1. the Columbine shootings occurred on the same day as the heaviest United States bombing of the Kosovo war,
2. the number one private employer in Littleton is Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest weapons maker
3. Rocky Flats, the largest plutonium-making place in the world, is just down the road
4. NORAD is just up the road.

But you don’t think children with a childhood steeped in violence and families steeped in violence are going to grow up thinking about this? All of this militarization and violence are a cultural miasma and children absorb the lessons taught to them by America.

Kill your enemies, make them fear you, rule the world, Be a Man!

The scale of America’s evil is just so much greater than every other country, so the scale of its own social sickness is similarly greater.

queermunist , 5 months ago

Yeah yeah I’ve already seen your cynical video. America rules the world and as a result America’s evil is just so much bigger. No one else can compare to the scope and scale of the largest military, biggest weapons manufacturer, largest arms dealer, most aggressive foreign policy, etc. This creates a sick society because Americans (falsely) believe America represents them, so when it does evil it does it in their names.

As for What Is To Be Done, no one is going to save us. We have to do it ourselves.

queermunist , 5 months ago

Well remember, this was the 90s. Today we’re all disembodied digital nomads so it doesn’t matter what is near or far, but back then there was still a sense of place that meant having a bunch of military-industrial institutions nearby would effect the local culture.

And maybe that’s why shootings get worse every year. The physical location doesn’t matter anymore.

queermunist , 5 months ago

And you will notice that every person who calls themselves a liberal in America still believe in the broad ideological foundation of capitalism.

queermunist , 5 months ago

By that same logic, everyone has a responsibility to educate uninformed people about enshitification. Everyone is uninformed until they aren’t, and you can help.

Given the choice, people would rather see Chinese propaganda than US propaganda.

Well since I see US propaganda literally everywhere else it’s nice to get some counter-programming.

queermunist , 5 months ago

Give me an example of something they lied about in this conflict.

queermunist , 5 months ago

I would find this all extremely concerning if China didn’t regulate US platforms so heavily. For example, Tiktok has safety limitations for children in China while they have nothing at all for children in the US. It’s being used as a social/mental health weapon.

So you’re saying China is better than the US because it regulates social media while the US does literally nothing for its own children.

I agree.

So! Instead of political banditry and forcing TikTok to sell to a US company we should regulate our social media companies too just like China does! Or do you really think TikTok will collect less data or exploit children less when it is owned by a US company? 😂

Every accusation is a confession.

I don’t think it needs to when they can buy influence with cheap loans from their development bank for the Belt and Road Initiative, especially when they keep forgiving loans that can’t be paid back instead of forcing austerity down countries’ throats like the World Bank and IMF.

Countries that are pro-China just have a material interest in their relationship with China. Why bother with an influence campaign?

queermunist , 5 months ago

Why would it? China wants to rule China, not the world (unlike the US lol)

The Ottoman Empire existed, you do realize?

queermunist , 5 months ago

There was a 100+ year period of relative peace and prosperity after the conquest of Constantinople, just like today where Western Europe has had a period of peace and prosperity after the defeat of Nazi Germany. The revolts began when the Ottoman Empire entered stagnation and decline because of warfare with Europe. It has nothing to do with ethnic and cultural conflicts, it’s all economic and political and it always has been. The ethnic and cultural dimensions of the conflicts are merely set dressing for deeper structural causes of war.

Now that we have entered our own period of stagnation and possible decline, be prepared to live in Interesting Times.

queermunist , 5 months ago

Gosh if only there was a way to prevent that!

Also Israel does literally all of that and to an even greater extent, I say we declare war on Israel.

queermunist , 5 months ago

That has never been the goal, at least not of the US. The goal has always been to drag the war on as long as possible to maximize the damage to Russia. That’s it.

queermunist , 5 months ago

Biden proved that he can just do whatever he wants when he bypassed Congress to give a huge military aid package to Israel and how he’s constantly selling arms to Israel using monetary trickery to avoid needing Congressional authorization. Why doesn’t he do that for Ukraine?
