Sorry its been longer than it should have been for an article, things moved very fast while I don’t really have much to add beyond “what that guy said.”

    Reddit is in full vote blue no matter who mode. That includes any and all forms of veterans who have “decorum” but likely killed, directly or indirectly, magnitudes more children. Brunch libs will never learn that ICE, the police, and the military are the same wing of “state violence”, ala imperialism.

      They will when it happens to them personally. But even then they’ll probably just sit around expecting some democrat to come save them.

    It’s just two white people in the collateral damage now and the country is fuming. Dozens of non white people have been killed by previous US regimes in the past few years but only a few of them sparked some outrage. They were getting killed under Democrat regimes too. But then it is probably lawful and justified in the eyes of the libs.

    Maybe some of the white liberals would have been at brunch right now if Kamala was president because they could then continue sticking their head up their arse and ignoring societal issues that don’t potentially affect them or are done by the ‘bad side’. For the rest it would have been hell as usual.

      At least we now know how many it takes to create an outrage:

      white murricans - one

      non-white murricans - dozens

      non-white non-murricans - tens of thousands

        Try millions.

        Isn’t it interesting how so many people were saying there is no way to mobilize Americans to a general strike or to want to pick up arms against their government…until a fraction of the violence that the empire inflicts abroad (and even domestically but done to immigrants and minorities) year after year happened to hit one of them, now suddenly everyone is outraged?

          I was basing my number on the Gaza genocide. When murricans got unruly the body count had already been comfortably beyond 60.000.

          On a longer timescale, you are absolutely correct, the US empire killed millions and it resulted in barely a beep at home.

    i think dwelling on the ‘24 elections for anyone outside of the deluded vote blue crowd (who honestly just regard voting as a form of religious practice to their altar of liberal idealism) is kind of fruitless because everyone outside that framework could have seen it coming. not critiquing your work, it’s good and a pretty nice writeup of what happened, but jesus, kamala’s campaign was DOA. to anyone who doesn’t depend on the opium of usamerican propaganda this outcome and analysis is totally understandable and intuitive

      It’s why the USA can’t move forward, too focused on the past. And yes she’s a fn Nazi.

    starting this because it is a point that i agree with wholeheartedly but also it’s a truth very much known to almost everyone except from fervent dems, i’m interested in seeing the analysis and will expound on my thoughts when done reading. excited

      well, i’m done. yep. not much to say apart from that. there were simply reasons people were falling away from the dnc as a party and there are reasons for the existence of trump’s fervent faithful voterbase. apart from that if we observe the individual campaign of kamala it was also just shitty on every metric in a way that almost makes you think she was told to throw or something. not much else to say. that woman was never winning and i knew all the way in the usamerican vassal state i’m in this was true and so did everyone else, who followed uspol as imperial benefactors are wont to do
