  • 9 of these countries are majority Muslim, 7 are majority Christian, Eritrea is about half and half, and two are Buddhist… And Qatar is opening a military base on US soil.

    That’s a move from religious coding (“Muslim”) to openly hierarchical, civilisational coding (“poor,” “Third World,” “non-Western”).

    The U.S. helps create or worsen crises (Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Haiti), then shuts the door on people fleeing those crises.

    It’s a structurally racist, classist ban that turns poverty and Global South nationality into a security threat, while giving legal cover to a broader project of fortifying a rich, imperial core against the people its own system has helped impoverish and displace.

    By dropping the religious coding, liberals can silently get on board by not being pressured to voice their discontent for racism. There will be way less push back from Democrats than the Muslim ban.

    Trump is just the tool, this is an American imperial classist war.




  • This is a stupid take. Give the people a viable candidate that doesn’t thank Dick Satan Chaney for his service and cheerfully announces the desire for the “most lethal military” when the voting base is expressing discontent with the governments support for an active genocide, and she’ll win.

    People didn’t reject KH because she was a woman, they rejected her “centrist” campaign that was to the right of GWB’s on several key issues. People didn’t reject Hilary because she was a woman, they rejected her being forced on them instead of Bernie.

    And both of them had the same attitude, that voters owe them their votes, simply because they’re not Trump. People didn’t reject women, then rejected the DNC.


  • Jesus Christ, they aren’t holding any line, they literally let the funding die and said “let’s talk about that part later”, they pacify you and by the time later comes they’ll move on to the next pressing issues. Mark my words, they are not extending ACA coverage within the next year.

    They literally helped Republicans take healthcare away from the American people.

    “This was a very, very bad vote,” Sanders said, adding that the deal “raises health care premiums for over 20 million Americans” and “paves the way for 15 million people to be thrown off of Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.”



  • Stop repeating the propaganda of your two parties like it’s gospel, it only keeps them in power.

    Both Canada and the United Kingdom use FPTP voting and they have more than two viable parties that regularly win and hold seats. You keep electing fascists-light because fascists-classic is too scary, but you’re still voting for fascists.

    It was Biden who full throated support for fascist Israel’s genocide against the natives they colonize, it was Biden who allowed police to attack peaceful student protestors, it was Biden’s press secretary that had police drag reporters out for asking questions, and it was Biden who spread lies and his party that continues to dehumanize Palestinians.

    It was Biden that renewed FISA, who signed a bill to block railroad strike, who bypassed Leahy law to transfer arms to Israel, who extended Trump’s Title 42, who started the TikTok divestment ban that lead to the purchase everyone is blaming Trump for now. It was under Biden than the US repeatedly vetoed a ceasefire in Gaza, the DHS waived 26 laws to build border wall segments in Texas, and the DOH prosecuted Assange.

    You don’t fight fascism with fascism.



  • And the Democratic party will only ever allow weak leadership. They complicit, and the sooner people realize it the sooner we can move on from this idiotic two party mentality.

    There are good people who have good intentions who run as Democrats, no doubt, but they either get nowhere or they capitulate and give up too much in vain hopes of changing things from within, but the shackles never get loosened.

    The Democratic party is in full swing whitewashing war criminals and normalizing boot licking and veteran warship in order to swing the Overton window to the center.









  • That’s just not understanding the statistics. Lots of people leave their chambered weapon wherever, they keep it on the kitchen counter, on the couch, on the bed, etc. then their kids find it and accidentally fire it.

    Crazy violent people also have guns, and they will use what they have at their disposal to be violent. The gangster wannabe meth head that shot his roommate over an argument is in that starts m statistic.

    Buy a safe, learn to use the gun and store it properly in the safe. You’re not less safe than before.

    An armed minority is harder to oppress!
