  • Congress is stacked against Democrats. There really isn't anything they can legally do until they regain the Senate or the House

    Except praise ICE, I guess. It doesn't really matter that Congress is stacked against the Democrats. They've shown everyone who they are and what they stand for and it's not clear in the least that they would behave significantly differently if they were in power. From Biden building the wall to Kamala saying "Do not come", and all of the messaging of the Ds since they lost and now 75 Ds voting to praise ICE...

  • They were strategic bombers, specifically exposed for inspection and surveillance because they were part of nuclear capabilities. Destroying any of them is such a massive escalation towards MAD that I am still trying to wrap my head around the whole situation.

  • He collaborated with war Hawks in the USA like Bolton and Pompeo as part of his campaign as a British national to fight against the return of Hong Kong to the governance of China, spread anti-chinese propaganda, and politically organizing against the state.

    That's all that's needed. If a British national who lived in California and built up relationships with Russian and Iranian leaders was organizing politically to have California secede from the USA you can be damned sure that person would be in prison.

  • Dictatorships use solitary confinement as a form of torture

    Solitary confinement is a form of torture. It's torture when China does it, it's torture when the USA does it. The difference isn't which country is a dictatorship. The difference is that the USA does it to infants and children after ripping them away from their parents who are seeking asylum and does it to prisoners when their prison guards have their ego bruised, while China is using it on a literal enemy of the state trained and funded by a foreign government with a long history of being an adversary.

  • No, they want you to think that voting Democrat will change things. Guess what. Democrats have a serious track record of escalating just as much as the Republicans. You think neoliberalism is a Democrat thing? No. It started with Reagan. You think the Republicans are the only war mongers? No. Clinton launched the first ever preemptive war for humanitarianism and Obama killed the first US citizen in a foreign land by direct order with a drone strike. You think the Republicans are the racist ones getting black people killed in the streets? No. The Democrats are in full support of transferring military surplus to local police around the whole country.

    They want you to think voting matters because then you'll spend all your energy voting and getting others to vote. The reality is that the march of fascism happens whether you vote or not and whether the Ds win or the Rs win. You will get the same net result no matter what. Just read the last century of American history. Even FDR's New Deal was his gambit to save capitalism from the revolutionary conditions of the time. He says his greatest achievement was saving capitalism.

    That's the entire reason for the existence of the Democrats in this era - prevent revolt.

  • You really have no access to reality, do you? In what world is Russia anywhere close to collapse? It's a top global military spender and producer, it's a huge arms exporter, it has increased its military production capacity, and it has destroyed the hodge podge of military equipment that the West dripped into Ukraine.
