  • So just to make sure I got it right. Gutting federal agencies from the inside out to the point of dysfunction, and firing employees and government watchdogs without cause. Depriving legal immigrants their due process and forcefully kidnap people in broad daylight. These things are A-Okay.

    But fuck with the money, and now you're suddenly going too far.

  • The leadership of the Democratic party chose to do nothing, thinking they can just let the pendulum swing back in the next election. Rather than actually do anything to help people, they're expecting us to just vote them in because of how insane the Republicans are, but once they're in, they won't actually do anything.

    We need a populist party yesterday.

  • It wasn't just 'for some reason' it was strategic. I wouldn't expect Trump to get it, but I'd hope a random person on the internet would have more sense than the President.

    Providing vaccines to third world countries acted as a level of prevention by keeping these diseases from spreading to our country or our trading partners.

    More pragmatically, providing this service allowed the US to push their influence on other countries too. Whether through providing aid, or threatening to withhold aid, this service acts as a tool for the US government to maintain their superiority on the world stage.

    Also, from a more fucked up perspective, keeping a healthy population of third world people is crucial to the exploitative nature of capitalism and its nonstop growth.
