    Ask me how I know this poster’s white and comfortable?

    Because fascism has been here since Reconstruction was intentionally downed. Do the ghettos live under a ‘democracy’? Are the tenement slums ‘properly represented in the halls of Congress’? She’s just terrified the fascism she’s been claiming ‘didn’t exist’ for the past 20 years will come to her; and at this point, I say let it.

    I’m not naive enough anymore to believe that a cracker suffering the way my people have been forced to learn how to live and thrive under would ever learn the lesson anymore; I just want to see blood at this point.

    Americans are genuinely shocked to learn that most people around the world don’t find the proposition of throwing babies into incinerators for eternity so that the most comfortable people in history can maintain their comfort very persuasive.

      After this last year, I need Americans to understand that I would support their destruction even if revolution wasn’t the prospect on the other side. If the genocide in Gaza wasn’t a red line for you, I hope your entire family is turned into meat.

        Man, I’m an Amerikan black enby and I’ve been trying to get the crackers to internalize this for a full year now. If they’re not listening to me, they’re definitely not gonna listen to you, big homie; you need to find a way to incept this into a cracker’s head and get them to repeat it

      They don’t possess the basic empathy skills to a) recognize that the ~7 billion or so people outside of the West are actually people with internal lives, hopes, fears, worries, desires, etc, and b) that the lives of those people would be infinitely improved if the American hegemon collapsed. The “western leftist” position (at least economically) is the position - knowingly or unknowingly - of the vast majority of the world population, but they are also the most powerless people in the face of imperialist plunder and austerity.

      To any libs lurking on Hexbear: One of the most highly populated countries on the planet, and the single largest economy and manufacturing power, holds the position that the world can be improved for the poor via massive development projects and facilitating fairer trade. Both things are in fundamental opposition to the position of the United States, which only destroys that development in wars (Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Vietnam, Korea, etc, while China has not militarily attacked a country in decades) and relies on setting up terribly imbalanced deals through either IMF-led austerity or more directly through coups and colour revolutions to install compradors.

      I am firmly an internationalist, and while I’m in the UK and not the US, I would still always support a party or initiative that prioritizes substantially alleviating the suffering of those abroad, even if it negatively impacted myself and others through previously easily-accessible commodities no longer becoming accessible (fruits in off-season, etc). Though I don’t believe it would even have to require much suffering and sacrifice for the working class, because most wealth and capital in Western countries is obviously stolen from the workers by the 0.1% and we could simply take it and redistribute it.

      This idea that desiring the downfall of the US is relegated to “Westerners” is so revealing of their Hitlerite chauvinism. They genuinely believe their own bullshit.

        The rest of the world wants a strong US state because who else will give us our liberty if it was ever threatened by us fantasising about governing ourselves?

    “Tankies” a real insult

    “Liberal” not real

    Got it

    Coping libs are rapidly approaching their own Jan 6 level of delirium. I don’t think they have the guts to do it, which makes their futile little angry boy raging more enjoyable to watch. Being a leftist almost feels sinful at moments like this

    Don’t blame us for the fact that you’re lying in the bed you made. This is always how colonialism and white supremacy ends. We “tankies” have been fighting for over a century to take the only off-ramp out of this, and you violently suppressed us every time.
