What’s scary is how much “the end of empire” is being attributed to this “debate” (political spectacle) and not our rapidly deteriorating material conditions, intensified war and warmongering, militarized police buildup, and the majority of the rest is the world embracing multipolarity. We are a deeply unserious society.
This is what Democrats and Republicans are supporting when they increase police budgets. This is the Syracuse police arresting a child over a bag of chips.
The whole Ukraine situation is radicalising as hell. We’ve spent over ten years watching North African/Middle Eastern refugees being killed by xenophobic anti-refugee policies. Children washing up dead on beaches, refugees being gassed and beaten by European border police >
Blue tick liberals openly fund-raising for the Ukrainian military while people get their PayPal accounts frozen just for fund-raising *medical* supplies for Cuba says a lot about the relationship between ostensibly apolitical finance/tech companies & US imperialist interests.
things we learned this week:
- US bombed a Syrian dam on the no-strike list almost killing 10,000s
- US killed 48k people via airstrikes since 02
- US-backed & -built saudi jets killed at least 70 ppl in Yemen today
- NYT obtained video shows kids before 8/28 Kabul drone strike
@landforce White people becoming millionaires by monetizing a psychoactive drug that has historically been used to criminalize, marginalize and disenfranchise black people for generations is the most accurate representation /embodiment of the American project.
maybe if universities stopped going out so much and buying iphones they wouldn’t have to ask ME for money. have some personal responsibility, do better
