Thank you for confirming you have no fucking idea what happens when a society collapses.

Oh cool, that’s totally a real and valid reason to embrace murdering as many people as possible.

Things the US will forget:

Korean War (3mil civilian dead)

Vietnam War (2mil civilian dead)

Iraqi War (1mil civilian dead)

Imagine thinking that the US has forgotten any of these when they’re a constantly pressure on the cultural zeitgeist even literal decades later. Or, for that matter, that the Korean War is in any way comparable.

Violent overthrow of Afghanistan (twice, over 1 mil dead)

Twice? Christ, tell me you aren’t talking about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Not to mention that the ‘overthrow’ of ‘Afghanistan’ the second time would rely on recognizing the Taliban, and not the democratically-oriented Northern Alliance which was fighting them at the time, as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.

A bonus from a recent Very Serious Leftist:

This is what no-theory does to a motherfucker. There are no ‘good guys’ in the Ukrainian war except the people of Ukraine themselves, only giant and bloated imperial states fighting over imaginary territorial lines with the unwilling sacrifice of working class blood. Tankies might object to that war because they prefer Russia to the west, but I oppose that war because the working class is forced to battle over geopolitical supremacy, and in the end will live as indentured servants to the west. The working class have everything to lose and the least to gain from that war. I have zero problem condemning that whole conflict.

No war but class war, bootlicker.

If i could give out three nobel peace prizes, the first would be to the south african delegation, the second to the doctors in gaza, and the third to the houthis. We might disagree on a lot, but i’ll join hands with anyone to fight for the right to self-determination of any people against any genocide.

Turns out anti-imperialism only counts when the group fighting against imperialism is unimpugnable - like the Houthis, and unlike Ukraine.

They still put forth the mutually exclusive arguments, simultaneously. “Our protest couldn’t have had an effect, so we totally didn’t sacrifice American LGBT folk for a chance at saving Gaza” + “If the Dems had just given in to our protest, we would’ve voted for them and they would have won”

Both arguments are stupid on their own merits, but together, they paint a picture of intellectual and moral bankruptcy.

“only God may judge us”

It’s okay, as an atheist, I only recognize the moral authority of humankind, so judge away.

More seriously speaking, PTB. It would be one thing if the justification was “We REALLY do not want any legal trouble and we are just not equipped to take on any challenges, so we’re playing it safe”, but “i consider human life sacred”? They can fuck off.

More accurately but less memetically

Working Class: Help Us Please

Democrats: Here’s a token effort to get the progressive wing off our backs for a few minutes, sweaty ♥🏳️‍🌈#blm

Republicans: Actually, we’re going to make things worse. As bad as we can. Suffering builds character, poors.
