  • Politics must hurt them with reforms, taxes, and the rule of law.

    Yeah... that's how we ended up in this situation. How do you think these giant corporations became so powerful? They "reformed" laws until they could do whatever the hell they please - that's what "reform" gets you.

  • The US military is the single largest polluter organisation on the planet - do tell me how we can't blame capitalism again?

    And just for your information - that other gigantic capitalist country you falsely believe isn't capitalist? Guess what? It's capitalist.

  • Uuuuh... as far as I'm aware, Russia has already been using cluster munitions in Ukraine. They used cluster munitions in Chechnya and Syria as well - and lots of them.

    The US used them extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan, too... but that's okay, because those people don't "look like us" (apparently).

    It's kind of weird that people are only now making a big fuss about them.

  • That’s due in part to lengthy prison sentences and the war on drugs.

    Yeah... it doesn't get any more authoritarian than that.

    I expect those things will improve going forward and it’s really not hard to avoid committing crimes.

    Doesn't look like it from where I'm standing. I'd say the US is pretty much on a one-way street to more authoritarianism - not less. Or, to put it more accurately, US authoritarianism will start more and more affecting certain groups and classes that have thought themselves free from it up until now - it's like they say... fascism is just colonialism coming home to roost.

    And like it or not, we have pretty unrestricted access to just about anything.

    US authoritarianism works very differently than the model China is chasing... but that doesn't make it any less authoritarian. China simply doesn't have the ability to "drown out" narratives that pose a threat to the status quo in the way that the US media machine does. No other country except the US can do that - though China is making strides in that department. Once they do, it doesn't matter if a small minority of people knows the truth - a large (and vocal) part of the population has been immunized against it. That's the core characteristic of the US propaganda model.

  • failed because it’s not authoritarian.

    I know you're responding to a tankie, but just to be clear... the US is about as authoritarian as it gets - they don't call it the Prison-Industrial Complex for nothing.

  • Show some fucking backbone, won't you?

    You're a proven white supremacist - at least have the spine to own up to your sick beliefs.

    At least then you can have that one little microscopic smidgen of my respect - it's the only kind you will ever get from me.

  • No, Clyde... you're the one ascribing morality to whiteness... oops, sorry, I meant to say "westerners". That's you, remember?

    That's why it's so easy to tell that you are a... wait for it... drumroll... a WHITE SUPREMACIST. And a pretty rabid one at that, too.

    Of course, your gleeful endorsement of white supremacism-fueled, colonialist mass-murder in the 3rd world was a pretty dead give-away, too.

    You outed yourself as a white supremacist, Clyde. Don't be angry at me.

  • Considering the white supremacist brain-rot you are suffering from, I'll be happy to jog your (failing) memory for you.

    Oh… so if non-white people act white enough you will temporarily view them as honorary “westerners” as long as they are useful as a propaganda prop for you?

    Yeah, Clyde… that doesn’t scream “rabid white supremacist” at all. Really.

  • Nah, such a beautiful country simply deserves better than the House of Saud.

    Sooo... the current levels of rape, torture and murder in Saudi Arabia not enough for you.

    Actually, the murder-spree was anti-communist, significant difference

    Sooo... the jungle got in the way of a white supremacist murder-spree.

    Get back to me when you’ve studied a little bit of psychology

    Sooo... your fascist ideas on "tribalism" is as fascist as they were ten minutes ago.

    Oh hell nah,

    Aaaaaaaaand - you're a rabid white supremacist, Clyde... or would you prefer me to use the term "western chauvinist"?

  • I can get behind that.

    Why? Is the current levels of rape, torture and murder in Saudi Arabia not enough for you, fascism-boi?

    Well, ya, they hid inside a jungle where we couldn’t see them.

    Can't let a jungle get in the way of white supremacist murder-sprees, can we?

    technological innovations they pass onto the private sector,

    More boots for you to lick, I guess.

    Nowhere else

    So, again… it’s just fascist fantasy and nothing else. Your “tribalism” only exists in your right-wing ideology-addled head and nowhere else.

    So, you believe being moral to be an exclusively

    Come now... tell us why you believe the KKK is merely "misunderstood." We know you want to.

  • The USA was just allying with who was already there

    Oh, the poor, poor US... what were those dastardly Saudi's thinking, forcing the innocent and righteous US to treat Saudi Arabia like a client state for it's neocolonialist agenda in the middle-east? They're almost as bad as those evil Vietnamese, who forced the US to innocently drop more ordnance on south-eastern Asia than it dropped during the entirety of WW2.

    Poor and innocent US... oh won't somebody please think of the poor military-industrial complex billionaires and oil tycoons?!

    nah, there is no tribalism gene

    So... it's just fascist fantasy and nothing else. Your "tribalism" only exists in your right-wing ideology-addled head and nowhere else.

    Non-white westerners

    Oh... so if non-white people act white enough you will temporarily view them as honorary "westerners" as long as they are useful as a propaganda prop for you?

    Yeah, Clyde... that doesn't scream "rabid white supremacist" at all. Really.

  • If you believe that Americans should’ve been better informed, then you surely agree the same applies to Russians at the current time, right?

    I also believe that the moon being made out of cheddar would have been great for cheese-lovers here on Earth - that doesn't mean I expect to find moon rocks in the diary aisle.

    Whataboutism is a way of derailing

    Whine about whataboutism all you want - it's not going to stop me from pointing out your hypocritical double-standards.
