Chickens are coming home to roost. Colonialism will always turn inwards. Liberals did this to themselves.

Liberals did this to themselves.

Let's not kid ourselves, these crackers aren't going to be the primary victims.

I'd say not being able to go back to brunch because I have to constantly hear about the dang cheeto in the White House, instead of not having to care about politics, makes me one of the main victims. maybe-later-honey

The thing is you all focus mostly on the libs being the main victims, inadvertently downplaying the vulnerable who get trampled over these political theatrics.

β€˜White libs have nobody but themselves to blame’ ok but what about everyone else?

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

I completely agree. I was only making fun of the idea that liberals are in any way the main target of the imperial boomerang.

Pretty sure we all know what about everyone else (including ourselves). I'm gonna be dead soon I don't want to have my hahas just be about my impending death thanks

They did this to the rest of us too.

Not complaining. My country needs to be destroyed before it destroys the world.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I feel the same way. Nothing that happens to us will even be a fraction of what the US has done to other countries

[–] Red_October@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

Growing up during the 9/11 years and seeing what happened to the middle east; then what ended up happening in Palestine. It’s impossible to care or even be threatened by any of it anymore. This system has to collapse or the entire planet is forfeit.

I fucking hate this place. Just a constant low level state of terror at the hands of the world's stupidest people

I remember when Obama did that Jade Helm exercise in a Texas Walmart and Rick Perry sent the Texan national guard to surround the place

Now every state gets a jade helm

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

can you clue me in here? I've never heard of this

[–] axont@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

It was a thing in 2015 where the military did training exercises in various US states, often using abandoned buildings like old Walmarts. A bunch of reactionaries were convinced it was an exercise leading up to imprisoning conservatives and confiscating all guns. Alex Jones in particular was very loud about it, even saying that the helm in the operation's name stood for "homeland eradication of local militants."

And then nothing happened

Not much happened honestly. It was a military exercise in 2015 and reactionaries were convinced by Alex Jones that it was a training exercise on how to confiscate guns and put all conservatives in FEMA camps. The military used American cities for the training, like in abandoned buildings and Walmart parking lots and stuff like that. Nothing at all happened but the chuds were very riled up about it to the point the Texas government sent state militia and cops to surround the military facilities just in case I guess.

It's also far more likely that the exercise was about fighting a potential Chinese invasion.

The National Guard are workers that are taken off their job to perform. They aren't supposed to be trained like the military. Many of the Guard will be from Chicago itself!

[–] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

Oh, that seems like a volatile combination.
