  • Jesus Christ, you’re not the first person to call this an “audience.” Reminds me of men who call their internet confrontations, “debates.”

    The commenter who I made fun of here brought up – and incorrectly ignored the specificities of US imperialism – a topic that was not relevant to my comment on US imperialism in the past century when they wanted to talk about US imperialism “inherited” from the British Empire over two centuries ago; apparently without even knowing when the Rebellion was.

    My snide comments came with the assumption that my “audience” could think for themselves and figure out why someone would respond that way to what they said. Of course, I do not write effectively for an “audience” who does not.

    I won’t read your response, I write these when I’m bored or waiting in line.





  • You’re mistaken in almost every sentence here and it sounds like you’re unlearning some things. The USA is and always has been a fundamentally violent, extractive, sexist, racist, genocidal entity. How something like that reads as complacency to you can only be explained by you.

    When I say Donald Trump is not exceptional, I am encouraging liberals who are new to criticising the US state to not resort to further pro-imperialist narratives that views state violence as caused by individual bad actors and not a system that cannot exist without blood.




  • Jfc how convenient to have a narrative that paints the US as a fundamentally pure society that is only violent when corrupted by foreign powers. The USA is an empire. It has always fucking done this, every president before this man has done this, none of it is surprising or exceptionally brutal for a fundamentally violent system.

    I bet a bunch of people who read this and thought it wasn’t pro-imperialist propaganda hadn’t even thought of indigenous American nations as sovereign nations that USAmericans have invaded and inflicted genocide against for centuries. This isn’t even the fourth time the US has inflicted its interests on a Latin American country through military action.

    The USA is evil.
