Yes, that’s the current situation, thanks for pointing that out. I don’t think people understand how much tax evasion they do, for instance as of 2016 there was £36 TRILLION in offshore tax havens, UK GDP is £25 trillion for comparison. Murder in the first degree can get you prison for life, but letting countless people die from poverty related issues at home while getting rich off of starving and killing kids overseas makes you a billionaire. Why do we accept that?
Hopefully the corrupt ones go to China or Vietnam because they’re not afraid to give corrupt billionaires the death penalty.
they can’t hold back much more than one person each if those people want through.
Keyword “IF” those people want through. A lot of people still seem to think the world would crumble without billionaires, but that vibe is visibly shifting which is nice to see.
What a “centrist” guy this billionaire Trump supporter is.
I want this on a t-shirt.
What I took from it is they’re LARPing as fascists doing fashy things, but they’re not operating under the same level of competence that more successful fascist regimes do. It’s about a bunch of overweight pigs that can’t even pass a physical, putting on a German helmet and bossing people around, while being too fucking stupid to be capable of believing in anything let alone even know what they’re doing.
The protests won’t go far enough to make a difference and fizzle out like every other “movement” in American history.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Police could bomb their own cities with plastic explosives and Americans won’t do anything about it.
They could temporarily trap a population within a city by surrounding it with some barricades and stuff but that won’t last long.
Why wouldn’t it last long? Is there some sort of organized fighting force of the people we’re not aware of? Didn’t think so.
The population size of the US has a massive ratio of more citizens than law enforcement and military. They can’t take us all.
Yet they already are.
For someone like me, if the food supplies were all cut off I could just live off of the land by hunting, fishing, and farming.
Ah yes, the government has famously left people like you alone and totally won’t turn your land into gravel, drain your water table, and dump the pollution into your river.
Gaza is the testing grounds for what life is about to be like in the West. Starvation will be used as a weapon eventually, and who’s gonna stop them?
Pretty sure this guy is a criminal.
What’s wrong with being a hermit?
we don’t really… do consequences for the rich.
We used to. That’s why it didn’t used to be like this.
They should be treated like we treat Nazis of old.
Hide them in Argentina while giving them top positions at NASA and the CIA?
The scariest part is that every American I know personally has no idea any of these ICE raids are even happening, let alone that they’ve started detaining judges and mayors or what that even implies. Americans are so dangerously uninformed.
Except no mercy this time. No plucking any of them out of the trials to build rockets or create federal intelligence agencies or cutting any deals like the USA did with the Nazi’s. Fascists don’t believe in mercy anyway so why show them any?
And people expected Kamala to be different why?
Actually, this is what happens when people ignore the wealth accumulation to the top under capitalism.
Laws are written to be manipulated, that’s why European culture uses laws and words as weapons, for European culture loves words to be twisted. This is why the “truth” always changes in the European mind, look no further than their use of “treaties” or “truces” or their fad-politics. Whether it’s far-right capitalism or left-wing socialism, I fail to see the difference when they both rely on “production at all costs” at the expense of our natural world and turning our habitable environments into gravel pits and uranium mines all in the name of “productivity.” The global south, or “third world”, and natural peoples will all be capitalist workerbees or socialist proletarian under the European death-cult of “productivity” as they call it; I call it a culture of suicide with a medieval religious devotion to their faith except now it’s shifted to science, technology, and money - just another example of how the truth always changes. They’re incapable of any real thought, incapable of simply appreciating the magic of nature to admire a lake or mountain or people in being, and most of all they cannot listen unless the world around them is despiritualized into mechanical models and dead symbols written on dead leaves.
To me I don’t see the shift towards left-wing, even the death of capitalism, to be revolutionary. It may be yet another revolution for the European mind, but to the rest of the world it’s merely a continuation. In order for humanity to live in harmony with nature, European culture must die.
