Americans desperately, desperately need to feel some real fear on their own soil.
gwt more violent.They're fash, tho. When they're afraid they just get more violent
They think they're prepared or desensitized because every week theres a mass shooting. Some sickening machismo in there. But they have no idea what these other people really go through.
250 Kids get shot in a year in US schools and Libs live in terror, but with now awareness at all of what theyre doing to kids elsewhere.
I will keep reiterating the devastation they've bought upon iraq in the 90s cannot be understated. When I listened to the episode on blowback I had no idea that many children were affected.
Yeah. Radio War Nerd, whenever they discuss famines or AMerican style total war, emphasize that it's kids who starve first, kids who get sick first, and kids who survive severe malnutrition or illness often suffer serious developmental problems that result in lifelong harms and burdens. Shit's fucked. What the US and Israel are doing, and what the US did/is doing in Yemen, are calculated to massacre children and permanently injure the survivors.
Which episodes do you recommend on war nerds
10000% agreed. They don't understand the neverending string of holocausts after holocausts the west inflicts particularly on Muslims, indigenous peoples (and what they back against those in Latin America is even worse than in the north, too- full on death squads), upon Africa, what they have inflicted in living memory (60s, 70s, 80s) and want to return to inflicting on east and southeast and south Asia.
I must admit, while it would be terrible and things should not go that far (unless it's MAD, then let the punishment of the heavens spew radioactive shit all over the Great Satan), if only they knew what it's like. YanKKKeestan and the west will either have to learn empathy or the rest of humanity will inevitably be driven to the point of wiping them out in complete and utter self-defense.
I saw this blackwater CEO talking about wanting to recolonising africa and latin america I'm here thinking this mf is far from being alone in this thinking. https://theintercept.com/2024/02/10/erik-prince-off-leash-imperialism-colonialism/
Oh. Prince. Fuck that guy.
Pretty much, he's just saying the quiet part out loud. Any lib with an inkling of historical knowledge (even of the cold war), or with an inkling of geopolitics combined with some meager understanding of the real workings of the modern economy/supply chains (granted, far less common than it should be), or who keeps up with news and doesn't have the memory of a beanis understands exactly how their bread is buttered even if they won't admit it to themselves or others.
If as Malcolm X the chickens came home to roost none of them would put up the brave face they keep putting up.
I pray for it. I genuinely pray I get to see these crackers vindicate every last word of Malcolm's that they haven't yet already. These crackers are not my countrymen, ain't a single fuck I give what happens to them. I just hope it's loud, fiery, and traumatic for them.
Yes, but also god please no
