@NiohBerg Capitalists will be like "hell yeah, murder every communist in Indonesia and install a brutal dictator for like 25 years, that'll show em" "Let's cause a famine in India killing more than 3 million people and then say it's their fault for breeding like rabbits"

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.

Saudi Arabia coordinates with the Trump administration in order to restart war against the people of Yemen right as Donald Trump restarts destabilizing war against Iran

The Epstein regime is obsessed with plunging the world into never ending war

[Nick Cruse 🥋 @SocialistMMA]

You have to live a honorable life to be treated honorably in death

The reason why these establishment sellouts are mad seeing people’s reaction to their deaths is because they expected to get away with living a life of corruption and debauchery

We need to let these mfs know how we feel about them everytime they die

Death to America!

Life isn’t a Disney movie. The world legit becomes a better place when some people die. This is just the basic facts. Rest in Piss Lindsay Graham

The only positive thing about the Iran war heating up again is that Lindsey Graham won’t be around to enjoy it.

The bloodthirsty South Carolina senator breathed his last on Saturday, succumbing to what his office describes as “a brief and sudden illness” after a political career dedicated to promoting wars, airstrikes and proxy conflicts at every possible opportunity.

People have long poked fun at the hypocrisy of Lindsey Graham living as an obvious closeted gay man in a political party with a virulently anti-LGBTQ platform. I personally have always found Graham’s sexual attraction to men a lot less interesting than his sexual attraction to acts of mass military slaughter.

Ever since the death of Graham’s dear friend John McCain, nobody on Capitol Hill has been able to match his gleeful enthusiasm for the shredding of human bodies using high-priced war machinery. Wherever there was any debate about dropping bombs, launching missiles, toppling foreign governments, arming proxy forces, or imposing starvation sanctions, you could always count on Lindsey Graham to be the first and loudest voice arguing in favor of more death and destruction.

Graham has personally taken credit for persuading President Trump to begin the war with Iran. In the months leading up to his unexpected demise, the senator had advocated for direct US military interventionism in Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Yemen, Nigeria, Lebanon, and Palestine, and had just returned from a trip to Kyiv promoting the US proxy war against Russia. He was literally pushing for more war and military expansionism until the very end of his life.

All the world’s worst people are publicly expressing their grief about the loss of their beloved war slut, from Trump to Benjamin Netanyahu to Itamar Ben-Gvir to Tom Cotton to Mike Huckabee. Meanwhile, everyone who’s not a warmongering psychopath is having a splendid day.

Of course we’re seeing imperial narrative managers like Piers Morgan wagging their fingers and chiding their audiences not to speak ill of the dead, but the hell with them. We’re not doing that. Politeness is not more important than Lindsey Graham’s victims. The liberal desire for propriety and nice feelings does not outweigh the importance of naming and shaming Graham’s frenetic scramble to murder as many human beings as he possibly could throughout his evil, miserable life.

Lindsey Graham is dead, and it is good that he is dead. May his omnicidal ideology soon join him in the arms of the cold, cold ground. May the insane, insatiable god he worshipped cease to gain recognition on this planet.

Lindsey Graham is dead. At least that’s one good thing. No matter what else happens today, they can’t take that away from us.

Liberals: “Joseph Stalin was a brutal dictator.”

Meanwhile, a 1955 declassified CIA report stated:

“Even in Stalin's time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by a lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist's power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely captain of a team (...)”

Lindsey Graham repeatedly called for dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza

He was a Rosé sipping genocidaire who reveled in mass civilian death

Unfortunately, the vampiric system he represented will live on

They always draw communism as an empty fridge and capitalism as a full one.

They never draw the homeless person outside the capitalist supermarket, the farmer dumping food because selling it isn’t profitable, or the hundreds of millions who go hungry despite a world that produces more than enough food to feed everyone.

Under capitalism, the fridge is full if you can pay. Under socialism, the goal is that nobody is denied food because they’re poor.

It's Not Okay To Join The Military

“If you live in the west and you join the military, at no point will you ever be acting in defense of your country; you will be murdering people who are trying to defend their country.”
