I’m 36 and my political views are normal outside of nazi countries like the USA.

Zinn still begins his book by complaining about Stalin, who, last time I checked, never set foot in the United States. A People’s History is still a liberal text, one that insists that the USA is flawed but good. We read it in my APUSH class, and even today the teacher is a hardcore Biden supporter who thinks that communism is evil and that workers should allow capitalists to drain their blood. People who are actually interested in american history should read Gerald Horne.

Interestingly, the CIA also rescued thousands of high-profile Nazis and brought them to the USA, where they were given positions of power and authority (Operation Paperclip, Operation Bloodstone), and began teaching people that changing anything is impossible and we need to fight communism because it is evil and authoritarian and goes against human nature and always fails (not because it’s the most effective way to destroy Nazism).

How are US prisons different from concentration camps?

If every president cages children, doesn’t that mean that the USA is fundamentally evil and should cease to exist?

Meanwhile, Biden kills a child in Gaza every fifteen minutes. Liberals are silent.

Same goes for all american flags.

Things liberals care about: Project 2025, Trump impolite, Biden have bad debate

Things liberals don’t care about: Biden’s genocide in Palestine, Biden caging children at the border with Mexico, Biden doing eugenics by ending all covid protections, Biden abandoning trans people, Biden doing nothing to protect abortion rights, Biden refusing to do anything about inflation because his corporate puppet masters benefit from it, Biden funding nazis in Ukraine and attempting to start WW3 with China,

I hate trump but he’s honestly right here. Imagine signing up to join the military to murder brown children overseas in order to further enrich american corporations.

Guatemala, Iran, the Congo, and the Dominican Republic are all listed here:

This doesn’t include Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, or Israel, where the CIA has been heavily involved for decades. They were also very much involved in destroying the USSR, now that you mention it, and happily admit to all of this (in addition to rescuing thousands of high-profile nazis). They’ve also admitted to controlling the corporate media (Operation Mockingbird) and just admitted to pushing anti-vaxx propaganda in the Philippines. Millions of needless deaths can easily be attributed to them. Do you enjoy listening to people who rescue nazis telling you how to think on CNN and in the NYT?

Why were slaveowners compensated after the civil war but not slaves? If colonization ended in the USA, was all the stolen land given back to Native Americans? If not, I guess nazism is still very much a thing in this shithole!

How can you separate one from the other? History doesn’t just begin and end at the convenience of white supremacists. When did the colonization end, for instance? All the euro-kkkolonizers are still here, they just changed their flag and started sending their taxes to DC instead of London.

Enshittification, also known as the overall tendency of profit to decline.

Imagine celebrating centuries of ongoing slavery and genocide.

It’s not depressing necessarily to get old, but it’s definitely depressing to keep thinking in old ways even as the world changes, i.e., “if we just support the demokkkrats THIS time, everything will definitely get better at some vague point in the future!” I used to be a liberal but I stopped thinking like this when I started asking why demokkkrats hate the concept of universal health care (answer: they are just the liberal side of the capitalist coin, the republicans are the fascist side).

Why would I care about the visibility of my user account?

Which corporate CIA source should I use to excuse the nazis who run the USA?

Unless the landowners are Black or Indigenous. I don’t recall euro-kkkolonizers asking their opinion about colonization either in the seventeenth century or today.

How about this one? Is The New Yorker also working for Vladimir PUTIN???

China’s mass transit is better. Probably we should just hire the Chinese to construct a national bullet train network in ten years like they did in China. But wait, we can’t do that because that threatens the profits of the bourgeoisie, who are the true rulers of amerikkka. Oh well, enjoy your eight hour commute to make your bosses richer!
