  • My logic (I don’t live in the us but for the sake of argument, let’s pretend I do) is that if a politician can commit a livestreamed genocide, and they win the election, it signals to politicians that there is no line they can cross that will make their campaign unviable.

    It would be more ideal if the Democrats could have been punished for their war mongering years ago, but you never punish your representatives for crossing even the most egregious possible line, then you truly don’t have any power over them and have fundamentally given up.

    If tommorow, even 10% of the dems indicated in polls that they would not vote for kamala because of gaza, it would force the DNC to take a stronger stance on the issue because the race is too tight. If this had happened many months ago, the Democrats could have been forced in giving concessions. But the Democrat voter base has made sure that the demmocrat party has no need to give concessions. They have used themselves as meat waves to ensure that the genocide can continue smoothly.





  • Yeah, Walt is fully responsible. The bourgeois couple are revealed to not even be that bad. The idea that they stole from him is walt’s delusion. He left because of his inferiority complex (which he developed at a very young age).

    Honestly, the show is closer to being a Greek tragedy. Many people take it to be a critique of capitalism because of the background context and world models we as an audience bring to the show.

    In fact, the show goes out of its way to show that every moment in time, Walt has an out that he refuses to use because of pride. The show itself also analyses the role of the state or big business in the crime or poverty happening only tangentially and gives very little screen time to it.


  • Nato is as much a “mutual defense” pact as sea lions are lions. These guys bombed Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq and countless other nations. The members of Nato have repeatedly cooperated with each other, using the military networks built through the alliance to wage proxy wars, perform coups, destabilise regions of the world at a scale never before seen in human history.

    You might as well call the axis a mutual defense alliance lmao.



  • But there are some in this thread who would pretend Harris is more pro-genocide than Trump, which is demonstrably false.

    Is it? She’s the one who is the VP of the organization funding the genocide. I don’t recall Trump directly funding genocide, even going out of his way to circumvent US law. Maybe he did, wouldn’t put it past him, but given the information I have at least, Kamala and Joe Biden are demonstrably, empirically more pro-genocide than Trump, who remember, has already been president in the past.

    Literally the entire political analysis of liberals on this issue is based on nothing but vibes. Trump is worse than Biden/Kamla on genocide because he has more bad guy molecules in his brain of some dumb shit.



  • You still didn’t answer the question.

    He did, you just lack reading comprehension.

    The ruling elite was the Communist party, mostly people near the top who were able to obtain key government positions that they would exploit for personal gain especially in later years of USSR.

    The Latter years of the USSR are notorious for being fucked, but this does not address the middle or early years.

    Mentioning that some guy was Ukrainian with in the regime while not mentioning Holodomor is OG 🤡

    Ah yes, the famine which affected all of the Soviet Union (and Kazakhstan more in terms of deaths per capita) which even the inventors of the narrative of genocide (Robert conquest) no longer call genocide.

    Must he nice being a communist while enjoying benefits of western society lol

    I love the benefits western society! I get to enjoy half my income go to some landleech and fund war crimes in the middle east! I can’t wait to see which climate change fueled disaster kills me, or maybe the fascist death squads will be the ones to do me in!
