    I think that's a joke from most people whereas I don't see much irony in these comments, just pure electoral tribalism.

        I'm sorry but nobody here is actually serious when they say they want to get nuked.

            Not to the point of actually wanting to genocide people. It is just doomerism expressed through extremist irony.

                I don't want to genocide the CEOs,bankers, lobbyists, cops, lawyers, grifters and politicians. I do unironically want to give them all the choice of a cyanide pill or living out the rest of their days in a forced labor camp with no possibility of parole.

                  i think they're fair game when we don't have control of institutions to Puyi them. Hinkley should've used a 45.

        this will happen more and more as the US empire falls but also that empire keeps billions around the world in poverty and is killing the planet. It does need to fall

            this didn't happen because of US financial imperialism breaking down. It's a result of institutional corruption and corporate cost cutting.

            This could have happened at the height of US imperial power

            no one here is celebrating the derailment we have posted in support of the people and worried about the ecological damage

        That's actually a point I've been thinking about a lot but, to be honest, I've never seen a time when we were cheering at average Americans suffering, like during floods/outages/pandemics/etc. Most of the indignation present was directed towards the Bourgeois state itself which allowed it to happen. The times I do see the whole "Death to Amerikrakkkers" (ie, the people) bit flung about was frustration at Americans having shit political takes, on social media or on polls. Which isn't exactly harmless as you point out since it can breed outright misanthropic sentiments but it's not equivalent to these shitlibs mocking people for living in the "red" territories.
