I can excuse genocide, but I draw the line at slightly more visible domestic oppression

Not to demean the deaths of Good and Pretti, but that's what I felt about the libs' reactions to the latest events.

One such example was one of them claiming "this is not our country", when that is the country everyone in the capitalist periphery knows.

    It's the country a lot of people in the U.S. have known, too. "They're executing people in the streets" yeah that's what the whole Black Lives Matter movement was about, dating all the way back to Ferguson.

    Some of these comments are either just worded badly, lack tact, or worse. Let’s remember that the people launching the imperial boomerang are not the ones being hurt by it the most. Or that this boomering hit America’s underclasses before it ever hit anyone else.

    I've had to point this out to multiple people. They've already forgotten about George Floyd. Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin should both be college graduates or starting families of their own or in the middle of their careers, but instead they're both dead.
