This is an entirely self-inflicted and avoidable crisis

Great, so they’re legitimate non-civilian targets.

Let’s see

Yeah, they’d be really mad about this if they knew how to read

I’ve never heard “easy for you to say” more in my life than I have from Americans in the past six months.

Sucks having everyone suggest that at some point you have to live up to your stated values.

And are doing nothing to stop him

It is HILARIOUS to me that you think any US official will ever face that kind of accountability.

Fair!

You say "we," I say "you." The rest of the world has been telling you for decades this was going to happen and we got belligerent jingoism in response. I agree with you- but I'm also not the one who needs convincing.

All the American "patriots" who spent their whole lives loudly insisting they'd do anything for their country ended up being cowardly garbage.

"Wait, you mean I'd have to put myself at RISK? That’s not easy, it’s actually really hard! Never mind that I’ve built my whole cultural identity on doing great things against great odds- how dare you suggest I do something hard? You’re a keyboard warrior!”

I truly hope this is the case. If the resistance insists on non-violence then industrial sabotage on a massive scale is a long overdue starting point

100% dead on correct. Cowards to the last.

Yeah, geez, it’s wild what happens when everyone just decides to allow it

You forgot the 60% or so who are simply enablers

Hillary Clinton was the most qualified Presidential candidate you’ve had since Eisenhower.

“Americans are going to die, so I bravely ran away rather than stay and fight.”

April 1994. I was thirteen, at a sleepover with friends, playing Starfox on the SNES when my friend’s older brother told us he’d connected the home computer to the phone line.

No Prodigy or AOL, this was something different- more raw and BBS-ey. We started messing around and figured out how to join a local chat room- I have no idea now what they were called back then. There were maybe fifteen people in there, all with William-Gibson-ass usernames.

We were eating pizza and Sour Patch Kids, just fucking around, typing and watching the others. Then someone in the chat said, “Hey, turn on MTV. Kurt Cobain’s dead.” We flipped on the TV and sure enough, there was Kurt Loder breaking the news.

Very vivid 1994 moment.

If they feel safe leaving their homes, you’ve failed.

Can you blame her for recognizing and turning her back on a harmful patriarchal religion that victimizes women and children and turning to… Islam? Yeah, I can.

I’m guessing 36
