"The temporary death of democracy in Chile will be regrettable, but the blame lies clearly with Dr. Allende... Their coup was homegrown, and attempts to make out that the Americans were involved are absurd"
-The Economist, 15 September 1973
@JoeBiden When the ruling class “think jobs” what that really means is, they think exploitation, increasing corporate profits, more donation money, and a great PR weapon. They care little about the actual jobs since they won’t be the ones having to do the work, they just capture the value
@_ericblanc The fact that you use “democracy” to describe countries that live on imperialist oppression of the poor and laboring masses is funny. Funnier that you call countries struggling to survive against imperialist aggression “autocracies”, but hey, that’s Amerikan Akademia for ya 🤷♂️
@SahilBloom Why is everyone calling this “hustle culture?” It’s capitalism, it is a hustle, a ruse, an inhuman way to see everyone and everything around you as something to be exploited as you rise above your community to live a detached and destructive lifestyle, and it’s appalling.
@thepyinthesky@ProseyPolymath@erikinwien@Sugondeezy@BidenTracking Well I can tell you sanctions and the illegal theft of billions of dollars from a country we for decades have bombed, shot, oppressed, exploited and destroyed is not the answer. The war needed to end but millions need not be starved by the American regime.
@thepyinthesky@ProseyPolymath@erikinwien@Sugondeezy@BidenTracking I don’t know why you falsely attribute beliefs to people and then argue against your own imagination thinking it is somehow a coherent rebuttal, but go ahead, keep showing you have zero reading comprehension. I have a problem with Biden deliberately starving millions of people.
@ProseyPolymath@erikinwien@Sugondeezy@BidenTracking What Biden has is doing to Afghanistan is likely to be so bad that it ALONE will amount to more suffering than TRUMP’s ENTIRE PRESIDENCY.

@marblesramjet@stopTHAAD “Latent fascist” because I was not self aware of the full implications and context of my worldview and lifestyle. And in that ignorance coupled with the material reality and social background I developed through, fascism was latent within me.
@marblesramjet@stopTHAAD I have a different understanding of Nazi than the mainstream view. To me Liberalism and Fascism are nearly indistinguishable. Liberalism seems almost like a stage that comes after a successful bout of fascism. On my own definition, I’d call my old self a “latent fascist”
