When has ruining the world for everyone else ever stopped the usa before? :(

There really seems to be a lot of “If not us, nobody” in the command structure of that military cult empire.

So extreme, not wanting to treat feeling beings as property and kill them.

The most extreme of extremism

well he grew up in houso with a single mum so it’s actually good when orphans are thrown into the crushing machine when he’s in charge.

Like I’m glad we’re not axing healthcare to pay millionaires more anymore and shit but my god we need higher standards in politics than “well, he’s not hunting the poors for sport so what more can we ask for really?”

To be even handed you could point to science and industry doing exactly the same shit when given a freer hand. Whether it’s basically all industrial “accidents” in various and sundry capitalist economies (scare quotes because overriding safety protocols or not doing due dilligence in hiring because money isn’t an accident it’s social murder), stuff like that super secret American bomb sight being a scam, industrial agriculture everywhere fucking the soil for short term profits, oil spills, the whole climate crisis and burying of it for money etc.

It’s sort of difficult to get in the blame game because everything is multifaceted and regardless of whatever theoretical construct presides over everything humans have the same incentives for corruption at lots of levels.

you also need to keep in mind the USSR was huge, completely and utterly fucked up by ww2 after inheriting a Russia completely and utterly fucked by centuries of tyranny and ww1. In a huge empire, rapidly industrialising, that just had millions of people killed and tens of thousands of towns destroyed there are going to be problems. No system is perfect enough to just overrule the material and social damage done during that.

TBH my own take is they did pretty well but centralised management everywhere has a tendency to fuck everything up. Oh to be clear, anything with a single leader is highly centralised. Like tech startups are centralised, most research labs are under the iron grip of a PI and thus centralised (and talk to anyone below tenure on the academic track to learn of the problems there).

It’s not brave or noble to police expressions of anger at oppressors it’s just foolish. It won’t make society better, civility is just a tool the powerful use to enforce the status quo.

He chooses to let someone starve over feeding them, this is fine a civil behavior. I call him a fucking cunt for doing that and wish death upon him and this is uncivil behaviour and I lack compassion? nonsense, it is compassion that fills me with rage.

He literally chooses every single day to actively ignore the plight of the people he claims to rule. He does nothing

Every single day he actively chooses to ignore suffering, probably even cracks jokes about it, while actively working to preserve his enormous privilege and protect his kin from facing consequences for their heinous actions. He stands at the head of an institution of violence, racism, cruelty, and exploitation and every single moment of his life he chooses to side with that over any earnest attempt to redeem their reputation.

The entire justification for their privilege is so insane it makes phrenology look respectable.

He is horrible, he could help so many people with a few words and the equivalent of pocket change but he chooses not to for fear of starting a process that ends with him living as one of the ordinary citizens he claims to protect. It’s fucking bananas that you think there is some moral reasons to extend civility to such a monsterous person.

Do you think they have any compassion for the random proles like us? Like they could divest themselves of wealth to help people, and just live luxurious lives instead of gold flakes in food lives.

I think any human being with enough compassion to deserve treatment as anything more than a hostile enemy would do that

If I ever have a golden piano while someone on the planet goes cold and hungry at night you can draw and quarter me.

Don’t be an arse. Active sonar can be pretty dangerous, using it when animals are in the water is risky a.f.

The flag a ship is flying doesn’t change that it’s a pointlessly dangerous thing to do.

which should be really easy given there will be all the people free and not rounded up on camps with limited expression

You’re definitely on the right side of things when you silence people calling out genocides.
