Not really a surprise, since liberals are just like that.

Yep, they just prefer their genocides to be covered under better optics
They prefer to be more subtle about it, I would imagine Trump: threatens to genocide all of Iran Liberals: would bomb the entire country without threatening genocide, even though they would probably be hitting civilian infrastructure "by accident"
Yeah to quote some lib coworkers I've had they'd just call it government infrastructure, and that collateral civilian damage is just an unfortunate part of liberating them because they only hate "the government not the people".
Same glee they've shown when discussing how breaking apart the USSR was the greatest human achievement despite all the fcking evidence of the suffering endured by regular people and children during the 90s and 2000s.
And the racism they exhibit towards the DPRK and China are probably identical to how conservatives might exhibit racism (they both feel empowered by the ability to be racist without backlash).
Yeah they become no different to their neocon counterparts as soon as as a lib is scratched lol
why should I eat my vegetables?
we wouldn't want our enemies to be more healthy than us do we? 😆
we should feed them soy so they turn into vegan communists :>
Sometimes, I wish the US would undergo some "liberation" á la Carpet Bombing just so that these fucks could get a real-life taste of what millions have been subjected to abroad and are now forced to live with the memory of massacred family members and friends.
9/11 is remembered every single year, but how many 9/11s they have committed every day to other nations is totally under wraps
i wish various forms of that quite often
Wait, I've been told that the reason I didn't vote for Kamala Harris was because she was a black woman, not because she was just another genocide supporting, war-mongering part of the machine.
I always say and always get flack for it, the US president legit doesn't matter much. If you want to predict the course of the USA, you will be right far more often if you just ignore who is president and look at precedent. Every bad president people love to play around with counterfactuals that it would've been better under the other president but really it would've been the same because the US government is an utterly enormous institution with a lot of momentum in a particular direction which one person is not going to change much.
exactly, the president is just the figurehead doing public relations in the end
The presidency is representative of how the US is one giant corporation made up of corporations;
they are the CEO meaning they’re elected by the shareholders to be the public face of policy and to put their name on pieces of paper representing those policies, and they’re also the patsy for when things go wrong. Unclear if Trump grasps that second part (doubtful).
who is the white person?
Edit: I should not have assumed they were white
But would the dems hue and cry about "nO kAnGz!!" like they do with Trump? I even believe they'd support Trump if his aggression against Iran was successful.
And the worst part is every libshit living on the Earth is supporting these parades and thinking they are the highest stage of democracy. Just launch the WW3 already, at least that way we can build a Posadist communism while genociding liberals freely.
... genociding liberals? Hard to tell if this is sarcasm...
Depending on where you stand.
People just get accustomed to the system they live in and don't quite question it. This is why doubters are dangerous - both in capitalism and in socialism.
When I was talking to French people they never once questioned that their institutions were "democratic". A republic where elected officials in parliament pass whatever law they like, and where the president can also pass any law with the so-called 49.3 law, thereby broaching from the executive into the legislative, which are supposed to be separate. The president needing to get elected in just two rounds too, and if there is no absolute majority they just take the top two candidates and offer a choice between them only for the second round. The fact that the president picks the prime minister, prime minister picks the cabinet, and if the president doesn't like someone in the cabinet, he just fires the prime minister to set up a new cabinet.
Anyone listening to this would say this is not democratic whatsoever, it's autocracy masquerading as giving you a choice. And yet they don't question it. They will still say they have "democratic institutions" over there. None of that counts as "democratic" by any stretch of the word but here we are.
It's the same in the US. All US Presidents are criminals against humanity, all of them. Don't come at me with the "but what about this guy-" you know it's true. And yet, USians will keep saying "we wouldn't be at war under Biden!" yes you would. You were at war under Clinton, Obama, you were at war or engaged in conflicts under 275 of your pitiful 293 years existence. "But they didn't start the wars, they just inherited them from republicans!" no, they did. Obama bombed Yemen because fuck Yemen. Clinton bombed Yugoslavia because fuck Yugoslavia. Kennedy started the invasion of Vietnam, with boots on the ground. He did. Don't weasel your way out of it - you know he did. You learned about this. He sent US troops who had no business being in Vietnam. Carter continued destabilizing Haiti under the Duvaliers dictatorships.
But the people that need to hear it will not be receptive to it initially, because throughout all of this, they just live okayish under this system. It's party A versus party B in that colony, and people inherit this superstructure, beamed straight into their brains from the youngest age. That's all there is to it: you just don't question the system as long as it runs okay.
