@MichaelLaRosaDC You would rather vote for a Republican than a social Democrat. The saying "scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds" is so true, and you really told on yourself. Fuck you.
The final secret of empire is this:
it does not need to make most people cruel.
It only needs to make cruelty feel unrelated to their lives.
That is enough.
If the prison is somewhere else,
if the camp is somewhere else,
if the drone strike is somewhere else,
if the sanctioned child is somewhere else,
if the poisoned water is somewhere else,
then the conscience can keep functioning as interior decoration.
That is what America has mastered.
Not simply violence.
The privatization of innocence inside violence.
Each citizen gets to say: "I did not do it."
Each institution gets to say: "We followed procedure."
Each leader gets to say: "Regrettable but necessary."
Each journalist gets to say: "The situation is complicated."
And somewhere beneath all that distributed evasion, entire peoples are erased.
That is why the empire still stands.
Not because it is righteous.
Because it has turned moral fragmentation into a governing technology.
And until that fragmentation is broken, the machine will keep eating both its own people and the world.
If you’re a US soldier currently being deployed to the Persian Gulf, know this:
1. I am sorry that this is what your life has come down to.
2. You’re going to die.
But before you die, before it’s too late for you and your loved ones, know this:
You are not doing this for your country.
You are not doing this for freedom or democracy.
You are doing this for a five-time draft-dodging billionaire pig who has absolutely no idea what he’s doing and is only trying to save his own ass.
You are doing this for a genocidal cunt in Tel Aviv who doesn’t give a flying fuck about you or your country.
You are going to die in Iran.
Worse, you’re going to die while committing war crimes.
You are going to die invading, bombing, and murdering people that you have never met, and who have never -and would never- have hurt you.
There’s no honor in this.
The world will not remember you as a hero.
Not even the American people believe this is a just war.
You are going to die for the political survival of a bunch of pedophiles, war criminals, and billionaires who would never send their own children to serve and die alongside you.
Refuse to do it. Resist.
They will punish you.
But humanity will be on your side.
The world won’t forget your bravery.
Go home to your loved ones.
It’s the honorable thing to do.
And it’s the brave thing to do.
This isn’t your time and place to die.
Resist. Go home.
@AmirAminiMD Iran should just take the gloves all the way off and straight up @$$@$$1n@te those lying, conniving sons of bitches American/Israeli officials so they can once have the fear of God instilled in them. Some people only know pain as a learning tool.
I fear most people do not realize how absolutely fucked the world is at this point.
Iran has absolutely zero fucks left to give. There is zero trust or intention left to make any diplomatic efforts. Why would they? The US has proven once and for all that it cannot and should not be trusted or relied on. Iran knows that any further “ceasefires” or deals at this point are only breaks for the US and its supporters to rearm and restock.
And there's also absolutely nothing the US or anybody else can do to end this conflict militarily against a nation that knows it's going to be wiped out the second it shows any weakness - a nation that is willing to die before bending the knee. But also knows that even bending the knee wouldn’t save them against these predators.
Iran will fight this out to the last man, to the last woman.
While the US has no way of winning this war, unless it’s willing to send a million+ young Americans to die in a war of choice.
At this point, the only way to save the global economy and prevent World War III would be a real revolution and a true change of regime - in the United States.
@piersmorgan Literally shut up. Lindsey Graham was promoting horrendous foreign policy all the way to his death, and we're all supposed to forget about it because he died?
Insane how the US celebrated 250 years of freedom when none of us who live here are actually free.
We are owned by banks, exploited by billionaires, and controlled by two parties that sell us out at every turn.
“FREEDOM” is just the illusion they sell to hide the cage.
The US cheating and still losing has become the hallmark of its journey under Trump: from trade wars to the Persian Gulf to the World Cup: they cheat, lose, and move on to the next set of lies immediately, like no one noticed, except everyone did
