Amerikan Pharaoh

I also think that I don’t properly understand the collective psyche of the American electorate. I don’t understand how the election could be this close, when it is a choice between a serious, competent, passionate, talented professional, and a man who is literally a collection of all of the worst possible traits a person could have.

Because they’re both genocidal, slave-driving sentient trashpiles that only deserve the second coming of John Brown each, maybe?

barsssssssss

They’re both going to make us all part, parcel, and accomplice to genocide, so… Yeah. That’s kind of my entire angle right now, is “who is going to make this aberration against history end faster, and who is going to end the cycle of genocidal settlerdom this country perpetuates faster”. By any means necessary at this point.

Genuinely, I won’t even consider social, domestic issues until it becomes clear to me that genocide has finally become a non-starter for the average Amerikan liberal; I no longer care. Either the genocide can end, or “grill-pilled” brunch-goer Amerikans can start getting uncomfy.

I think it’s time to watch the party die.

Says the over-fed techbro that still felt the need to comment…

My pet theory is that extreme atomization drains the empathic potential of the garden variety yankee to barely within their attempt at a nuclear family. Extendeds if you’re lucky. tl;dr they don’t have a reason to care.

Technically, he did lose in 2016. Negative love for her too, like; enough that if I worked with ints I’d certainly have buffer underflowed by now-- but Hillary did win by three million. That should’ve been the liberal wakeup call, that you can win the popular and still get absolutely shafted by faithless electors.

The only reason I don’t really expect that to happen this time is how it sounded like even Fox was starting to turn on the spray-tan porky.

Gotta remember this is a .world community, Lark; we both know there’s a staggering percentage of ghouls here more than happy to try and discourse with bloodied hands, bloodied jowls, and the remains of their last kill still visibly caught between their teeth.

Absolutely negative levels of love for Harris here but facts. “Never interrupt your enemy while they’re in the middle of making a mistake.”

I can. Empire is in decline thanks to its incessant fixation on the Offense industry and refusal to tend to infrastructure, education, or social works, now mix in the steady erosion of critical thinking and literacy skill in this country, coupled with the crippling of any kind of recognizable civics curriculum to allow for principle-less, tribalist “vote my color no matter who no matter the policy platform” philosophies to grip the populace by the throat.

That’s exactly how we get here.

If the citizens weren’t tacitly benefiting, in any way from the resource extraction of the bourgeoisie, maybe you’d have a point there; but since they do, you don’t

And yes, before you ask it, I feel the exact same way about Amerikans; and no, I have been far below poverty line all my life, so you’re not gonna find purchase there either. Just fuck off if you’re gonna go to bat for a settler before you waste any more of both of our time.

“If you hate a monk, you’ll even hate his robes.” Now whether or not that hate is warranted, well, global colonialism has made that a matter of subjectivity, but me, I’ll always thoroughly hate a settler. I hate the way that they walk, the way that they talk, I hate the way that they dress.

The anti-French sentiment is also present here like in the whole English speaking web.

Frankly, I’m always going to be anti-French until ALL of their leech-like tentacles are severed and ejected from every Afrikan nation they’ve been hoovering the resources out of. I have no love for neocolonists, not the French, not the Israeli, and sure as shit not the Amerikan.

It’s a whole lot of smug whites more than happy to talk over subjects-of-empire like this is still Reddit out here, split out between the likes of lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, lemm.ee, jlai.lu, and feddit.de-- the last two are because they’re French and Germans respectively, though; no one’s expecting anything out of them but resource extraction (in the French case) and for them to go to bat for genocidal states lately (in the German case).

At least the aggrieved ashen lords don’t make a habit of coming to specifically demarcated Black-and-Indigenous spaces on the fediverse as much as they used to, ig.
