I’d say the internet is also a well defining feature of the neoliberal era, certainly not the sole blame for the destruction of communities but definitely a tool (probably unintentionally) in the belt.

Let me help clear their skepticism: it’s not happening. Now pay me a million dollars for my consultant fee.

My main criticism of him in this instance is him focusing his message on what “Americans” want and “American Safety”, you are reading my chicken entrails.

And I said “of all the specifc Iranians”

A weak Mexico can no longer support a starved Cuba, very convenient

If you have actual ideas (and non-fallacious arguments to support them) I’d love to hear them.

This is not a debate, I do not respect you or your opinions.

Ahh, the enlightened centrist once again reminds us that in the midst of a conflict between the largest force for international terrorism / global exploitation and Iran, we should urge both parties to reflect on their actions.

Perhaps after this war Iran can learn to be a better victim, so that we have no reservations about defending them amongst our peers.

They failed to consider the lack of humanity in settler colonialists, no crime against those people could make me shudder.

I think the amount of “learning” the average person actually receives through a video medium is overstated and at most they get a new impression accompanied by information they won’t be able to recall later on.

Good or bad most online media- especially in video format, seems to only reinforce existing biases.

I can’t tell if the lower number of likes each posts reflects the decline in twitter users or a positive shift in political opinion

Can these people stop going after the one most likely to pass on “naturally” in the next couple of years?

Agreed, after communism- no one wanted to work at my grandfather’s sugar plantation anymore.

He had to flee to Florida to make a living while raising the most annoying ingrates anyone’s ever had to interact with.

I was initially confused reading this because you’re not saying anything I currently or used to disagree with.

My mentioning of the U.S specifically was not to say that the U.S is entirely unique- although, I would claim that we’re in a more advantageous position to act in some regard.

Hard work is an understatement for sure, and I’m just not pessimistic enough to think that death or even internment in a camp is as likely as you say.

We have many more opportunities for struggle in the U.S compared even to the successful countries that many of us would like to immigrate to.

Trust that I am being serious here.

I understand that many in the U.S want to leave for the sake of self preservation, and that’s fine.

But the truth is that provided a comfortable status in the U.S social hierarchy were maintained- most would take no issue with returning to a state of pre-overtly-fascist-normalcy. An opportunity to go back to brunch if you will.

I would submit that you and I both can point to many decades in recent U.S history, where Americans that enjoyed a higher standard of living (better wages, cheaper housing, etc) took no issue with means required to produce those ends.

What I’ve really been getting at, is the tendency of U.S citizens to only act in the interest of themselves when things get uncomfortable. As apposed to taking meaningful action.

Trust also, that I am not making a purely moral argument. What we’re speaking about here is very difficult- and I am aware of all that incentivizes the behavior I’m calling out.

Though most likely applicable, my statement is more general- nothing against OP.

Good reminder for all those who were calling on U.S intervention just some weeks ago

Personally, it seems to me that many of us have been acculturated to expect some sort of swift-instant-justice.

You can see this demonstrated quite clearly in a lot of online media / video compilations.

The nuclear weapon probably demonstrates some form of this instant justice- even if accompanied by the deaths of untold innocent lives.

Let me say that I agree with you on the jokes not being funny, but I take it as some form of mental cope- to think that China could simply and without much effort- deliver what many think Japan (and by extension their least favorite country: The U.S) owes China, suffrage.

I take personal umbrage with people who want to leave the imperial core now that they aren’t enjoying the spoils as much as their lineage have.

The United States will definitely have some sort of revolution, I’m not sure how I’ve become apart of the group who apposes that- I just think that those who have benefited from global exploitation- owe the rest of the world some effort in dismantling that system, rather than fleeing to the shade of another society that has put in that work.|

Everyone is welcome to try and improve their personal life, I think the U.S has historically incentivized that drive. But I’m not sure that a personal fixation such as this, is compatible with the type of societal fervor necessary for any substantive political change.
