Oh fuck you. FUCK you. You don't get to do this now. You don't get to turn around and go "Oopsie poopsie, we made a mistake!" This was YOUR genocide, motherfuckers. YOURS. You chose it. You own it. Forever. The stench of the rotting corpses in Gaza will follow you for all time.

@RepRoKhanna You are such a piece of shit. Democrats are not in favor of any of these things

More US troops have died in Trump’s insane war of aggression against Iran, so of course we’re seeing a bunch of phony bullshit from American warmongers about what a heroic sacrifice these soldiers made in order to justify further escalations.

“Godspeed, heroes. Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve,” tweeted Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in response to the news that two US troops were killed with one soldier missing after Iranian retaliatory strikes on a US base in Jordan.

But they weren’t “heroes”, and they did not make any “sacrifice”.

A hero is someone who risks danger taking noble action for the benefit of others. A sacrifice is when you give up your life for a higher cause.

This was neither of those things. Those soldiers were killed in response to US airstrikes on civilian infrastructure in a stupid, evil war of aggression waged by a Zionist president to please his billionaire Israeli megadonor. Those US attacks destroyed a desalination plant, cutting off an essential water supply for thousands of Iranian civilians.

They did not die defending the United States. They did not die protecting the American people. They did not die for freedom, for democracy, or for any of the other bullshit reasons you’ll see imperial spinmeisters saying they died for. They died for Israel, for the military-industrial complex, and for US imperial agendas of global domination. And for nothing else.

I said this online and someone tried telling me “They died for their country and Fuck You for pissing on that.”

I told him no, they did not die for their country. The Iranians are dying for their country. The Americans are dying for Israel, for money, and for geostrategic control. Not a single American life in the United States is being protected by the actions of US service members in the middle east. They’re not defending their homeland, they’re attacking people who are defending theirs.

This isn’t worthy of praise, it’s worthy of anger and outrage.

There’s this bizarre, cultish belief among Americans that you have to play along with the idea that every US soldier killed in action died doing something heroic which benefited the American people, even when every reasonably intelligent person knows that’s objectively false. I reject this whole-heartedly. All this does is make it easier for the US military to recruit more soldiers and to manufacture consent for more depraved wars of aggression.

Those soldiers killed in Jordan did not die doing anything noble. They died meaningless, undignified deaths for an immoral and unworthy cause.

Those soldiers weren’t killed by Iran. They were killed by Donald Trump. They were killed by the oligarchs and empire managers whose decisions sent them to die in yet another middle eastern war based on lies, and will never lose a wink’s sleep over it.

Everyone thinking of joining the US military should refrain from doing so, and everyone who is already in the US military should do everything they possibly can to get out. Because there is nothing worse than killing and dying for rich bastards who will never give a fuck about you.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

They did not make any "sacrifice". A sacrifice is when you give your life for a greater good, not when you get killed in a stupid, evil war of aggression launched without provocation by a Zionist president on behalf of his plutocratic donors. They died absurd, meaningless deaths.

DSA's fatal flaw: At the end of the day, they are Democrats who bow to the same old leadership.
Don't fall for another sheep-dogging campaign to suck rebellion into controlled opposition.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Everyone saying "I disagreed with Lindsey Graham on many things, but" is telling you they didn't actually disagree with Lindsey Graham all that much.

"I disliked his politics, but—" You liked his politics a lot more than I did, that's for damn sure. That's why you are sad that he is dead while I am happy.

If you're in any way sad that a 71 year-old warmongering psychopath died, it's because you didn't care about his victims. You didn't care about the populations he was constantly pushing to incinerate with high-tech war machinery. If you did, you wouldn't feel inclined to mourn the passing of their abuser.

If you're expressing condolences for Lindsey Graham's death, you're saying you care more about LOOKING like a kind and caring person than you care about actually BEING one.

[JFast17 @Wojo12]

@piersmorgan The deaths of Democrats will be celebrated as well you pathetic fuck

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Nah we're not doing this. Politeness is not more important than Lindsey Graham's victims. Your desire for propriety does not outweigh the need to name and shame Graham's relentless push for mass military slaughter at every opportunity throughout his entire miserable career.

[Nick Cruse 🥋 @SocialistMMA]

@piersmorgan If you want people to honor your death, live a honorable life

Why is this so hard for you goofy mfs to understand?

The “activist league” strikes again.

Throughout her political career Kamala Harris put over 1500 people in jail over weed and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked weed. Kept people in prison longer than their sentence to use them as, what essentially amounts to, slave labor. Blocked evidence that would exonerate people. She championed an insanely strict truancy policy that held parents criminally liable for student’s absences. Something that disproportionately impacted low-income and minority families. She supported 2008 policy that reported arrested undocumented juveniles to ICE. She refused to prosecute Steve Mnuchin despite her office finding thousands of instances of criminality. Conveniently, she was also the only Democrat he donated to.

She completely circumvented the primary process when she decided to run to replace Biden. No primaries were held. No votes were cast. Zero democracy took place. She was anointed despite being deeply unpopular.

She refused to support an arms embargo on Israel even as they were committing genocide. She also said “I have my entire career and life supported Israel and the Israeli people".

She has flip flopped on numerous key issues including gun laws, healthcare, and environmental issues like fracking.

She supported a cross party immigration bill that would’ve given hundreds of millions of dollars to support trumps border wall. It also would have fast-tracked decisions on asylum cases, limited humanitarian parole, and expanded the authority to deport migrants.

And let’s not forget that for at least three years she was uniquely and intimately aware of what we could all see. Joe Biden was entirely unwell and unfit. And yet she lied to the people over and over and over again to cover it up.

And this is just the shit I remember off the top of my head.

I repeat, I have never in my life seen more hollow, meaningless, shallow “activism” than that which comes out of the WNBA. It’s activism of convenience. It’s empty. It’s thoughtless. And it’s willing to turn its head and ignore truly vile shit so long as you throw a wink and a nod to the virtue signaling they hold most dear.

Your first clue that Platner was a shitty person wasn’t the military service or the Blackwater stint or the tattoo or the sexual assault allegations, it was that he ran for high office in the US government under one of America’s two mainstream parties. That’s damning in itself.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

It's Been Ten Years. It's Time To Admit Bernie Sanders Was Wrong.

The experiment has been run, and the results are in. You can’t conduct a socialist revolution using a party whose primary function is to suppress socialist revolution. This has been conclusively established.

The “activist league”, ladies and gents.

The guy known for drone striking weddings, funerals, and school buses full of children. The only Nobel peace prize winner to bomb another Nobel peace prize winner. The guy who destroyed habeas corpus. The guy who used the espionage act to go after more whistleblowers and journalists than every other president before him combined. I could go on. And on. And on.

As I’ve said before, I’ve never seen more hollow, virtue signaling “activism” in all my life.

[XOXO @joshipgiirl]

y'all using "the average american isn't anti-military" or whatever as an excuse to push terrible candidates to accomodate that indoctrination instead of pushing better candidates who could more effectively undo that indoctrination is so annoying.

[JFast17 @Wojo12]

@BernieSanders Did you bother to do this once you learned he was a murderer for hire or nah? Fuck you

[barbarism critic @barbarismcrit]

Anyway I remain depressed by the fact that people by and large really only tend to believe allegations of sexual assault if it serves them politically
