If someone asks me to serve the US military, I am sabotaging whatever I can because I am a decent human being.
If they didn’t frag their commanding officer or otherwise dodge the draft, they functioned as a servant of imperialism, and as such, should have gotten got by the Viet Minh. (yes, including your grandpa)
With regards to the Global South I expect the effects are going to be fairly immediate because China is the country that’s helping Global South develop and build out infrastructure
This is actually why I say those effects will take a while for the global south. Construction projects usually take years before their utility is realized. In the meantime, there is no alternative to the dollar for the global south. They cannot oppose unilateral sanctions yet, nor can they organize against US imperialism.
I’ve been pleasantly impressed by the rate of progression in recent years, but I’m not getting my hopes up for an early miracle. I’ll pray for the collapse of the dollar, but my bet is on 10-20 years before the US cannot wield their economic posture as a weapon against most of the world.
Can you elaborate? What tampering do you mean, what benefits does it provide, and why would the be lost because of this move?
It will certainly have some immediate effects, but the actual breaking down of dollar hegemony will definitely take upwards of a decade…which is still fast in terms of geopolitics time. Unfortunately for the global south, the effects that will accelerate their liberation will fall towards the later ends of this timeframe.
Show me a single dead Uighur. Show me any evidence at all.
Lemme guess, the only evidence you’ll be able to provide is either:
Tell me:
You are just another dog of the US State Department. Israel thanks you for your whataboutism to diminish the severity of their very real, US funded genocide. Muslims everywhere appreciate your valient efforts to protect a Muslim group from an imaginary genocide.
You’d fight us but not Republicans because we destroy the notion that you’re the good guys. You both want to preserve the status quo, with libs preferring marginally less grotesque methods of enforcement, and superficially opposing the fucked up methods Republicans prefer to employ. Good cop vs. bad cop routine, and you hate us because we’re pointing out that the good cop wants us imprisoned too.
Let’s be real, in actual prison, you’d be making aliances with the skinheads and guards 15 minutes in, then call on them to do your dirty work instead of doing any fighting yourself.
Same dynamic you’re employing right now actually: “Fall in line or I’ll sic the Republicans on you!” while fantasizing about the left getting sent to the camps for daring to oppose your brand of status quo preservation…just like Republicans, but less honest about your intentions.
Dipshits of both lib and fash varieties fail to recognize themselves as allies in defence of capitalism, imperialism, patriarchy, and white supremacy, yet somehow you always instinctively know who is more important to fight, the left.
The SPD voted for the concentration camps the KPD died in. Same dynamic will play out here.
You defended Biden for not closing the migrant camps, understanding that you would never spend a second inside one. We opposed them the entire time, not caring that they’d eventually be used for us.
Smart fascists understand how useful your brand of performative opposition is to legitimizing the system that keeps the treats flowing, so even if they throw did your ass in prison to appease their base (they won’t), you’ll be let go. You’re too useful an idiot for keeping the real opposition (communists) from taking power.
Biden has a mechanism written into law that allows the Department of Education to cancel student debt. He could relieve trillions in student debt in less time than it took to make that flowchart. He could do it right now. He won’t because he doesn’t want to.
Instead, he chose to use a method that could be easily blocked by the courts. Why? So he could throw his hands up and still have blue maga claim he tried his damnest, but was thwarted by le ebil Republicans. Your boy is a fucking Republican. He’s the same fucking dude that made sure student debt could not be discharged during bankruptcy. He never wanted to do it, but he found a nice way to win over some white PMC Democrats strattled with student debt.
Dems would rather lose and blame Republicans than implement progressive policy because their donors will replace them with people who won’t implement progressive policy. They will use whatever “parliamentarian said no” invocation so long as you keep buying it.
You have zero understanding of any of the words in this conversation.
Our current system being destroyed would be a marvelous thing.
Cops enforce authority of the ruling class through a monopoly on violence. The ruling class is the bourgeoisie. Neither senators nor police are a separate class, just traitors to the working class.
also seeing how progressive reforms and leadership can actually make a change for the positive in your community. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the law, with enforcing said law or with those who chose to enforce it, so long as law enforcement is held to account and not allowed to be overwhelmed with violent conservatives with authoritarian boners.
Thank you for describing exactly why it is copaganda.
Won’t result in a civil war. American libs are only capable of organizing for imperialism and complaining on the internet. They will piss and moan, but inevitably stop short of doing anything meaningful.
See: Bush v. Gore
W & Dick Cheney
Working as Thomas Jefferson intended. The “well-meaning, but uninformed people” were those who opposed slavery and today oppose the land owning class.
Deng Xiaoping literally stepped down after this.
Every single person in China knows about this event. And the average Chinese person’s understanding is closer to reality about it than that of the average Westerner. Sure Chinese people’s understanding of it is overly sympathetic to the government, and they scrub internet posts about the event, but Americans have a completely cartoonish propaganda view. Listen to the reporters who were there, not random redditors with a hate boner.
Only if you don’t want to use your degree
Sounds smart…exactly why it can’t happen here.
Buncha fucking losers in this thread. Imagine letting Donald Trump be your moral superior on the issue of murdering innocent people.
