    Jan 6th made him the worst, say what you want about Buchanan or Jackson but at least they did their atrocities within the system they were elected to uphold.

    "Say what you want about genocides, at least they weren't Jan 6"

        Liberals only talk like this about 1/6 because they’re convinced that it will be used to stop Trump from winning the presidency. Their TDS means that stopping Trump is more important than even acknowledging the many genocides the USA has and still is perpetrating.

      A tacit admission that liberals construct their morality around what the state deems acceptable

      It a worldview like that, a half-hearted insurrectionist riot becomes worse than countless massacres and dispossessions

      A literal upside-down ideology

        A literal upside-down ideology

        A privilege held by those safe from the state violence that's levied against others that they carelessly protect; the moment they get a taste of this violence (and I hope they do), now they want reasonability and humanity and they start being rational. An infantile view of life is a privilege of the safe.

      wtf

      Isn't it also not true of Andrew Jackson? He refused to enforce a supreme court ruling, famously. Lol.

      You can tell how reluctant they were to use the word “atrocities”. It won’t be long before even that is too much to ask for from these genocide apologist fucks

      Say what you will about the guy who actually kicked off a Civil War, but look at these TikToks.

      Jackson brazenly flouting a supreme court decision is "working within the system", apparently

      once again, admitting that their main problem with the nazi genocides was that they were illegal...

      these are definitely sockpuppet accounts (at least the upvotes). Please don't assume even the average PMC labor aristocrat is like this lol. but idk maybe pmc labor aristcrat redditors are.
