It’s complicated, but I was born in the US though I also hold a citizenship of another country.

I have come to a similar realization but it took me living in the US to experience it for myself. I’m so glad I left back in January of this year.

Instead of kink shaming Destiny, it is more relevant and damning to mention his support for the genocide in Gaza and his advise for Israeli soldiers to not film themselves committing war crimes.

The US did to North Korea what Israel did to the Gaza Strip. It is the same violent settler-colonial mentality. Then USians act surprised that North Korea wants to have nuclear weapons.

This is how the US assessed the damage after 3 weeks of bombing:

• Ch’osan – 85%
• Hoeryong (Hoeryŏng) – 90%
• Huich’on (Hŭich’ŏn) – 75%
• Kanggye – 75%
• Kointong – 90%
• Manp’ochin – 95%
• Namsi – 90%
• Sakchu – 75%
• Sinuichu – 60%
• Uichu – 20%

The bombing continued for 3 years… Only stopped when the US ran out of targets. “Pyongyang, which saw 75% of its area destroyed, was so devastated that bombing was halted as there were no longer any worthy targets.[30][31] By the end of the campaign, US bombers had difficulty in finding targets and were reduced to bombing footbridges or jettisoning their bombs into the sea.[32]”

But you miss a very important difference.

Good. Reparations for the US destroying North Korea, and just barely.

I remember when Obama AOC was the hope

Did you miss how GWB was rehabilitated or you weren’t around when he was accused of stealing the election and compared with Hitler?

Remember when they considered GWB to be like Hitler? When the Republicans eventually put someone worse in the White House liberals will miss the good ol’ days of Trump.

No one owes the Democratic Party their vote. To some people genocide is about the worst thing that anyone can do and the Democrats did it.

Swapping faces changes nothing. The rot starts with the DNC and without a formal apology for enabling the genocide the party is dead to me just like the Republicans. Two corpses fighting it out and I am not into necrophilia.

No. It continued at the same rate. It is a nonsensical argument anyways. Biden could have stopped it but chose to pass it on to Trump.

The [some of] definitions fit though

If you doubt me, ask a Palestinian if they are better off with Democrats not having any power.

Biden was in power when the genocide started and during most of it. He had the power to stop it and didn’t. So there’s your answer.

So more than a hundred years later, free US citizens are no better in terms of options and opportunities than a runaway slave?

I would argue that “less shitty” that pretends to be good and lulls people into compliance is worse than “more shitty” that riles up people to resist any way they can. If the outcome will always be “shitty” then perhaps the one that will result in the long term weakening of the system is better.

Why do the Democrats deserve to win if they also support genocides and endless wars?

Obama convinced me that the differences are just optics and rhetoric. In the end, nothing fundamentally changes.

Is committing genocide not a fascist act?
