Right now, the US is supporting attack after attack on schools in Gaza. I'm not cherry picking anything here. This is just the result of searching "school" on an Al Jazeera RSS feed. All of these massacres have happened in the last two months and not a single one has had near enough media coverage as some lunatic shooting up a school in the West. Some of those demonic shells of people that only cry over massacres in the US might say something about "oh but that's Israel, not the US". To those people, I say, fuck you. The US does it too, you testicle brained buckaroo. You don't fucking care about children dying. You support a government that has committed massacres miles worse than any gunman, and one that currently is committing massacres on the daily. They don't care about kids. They don't care about safety. They don't care about education. They only care about keeping white kids safe.
So if you're doing this, shut the fuck up and recognize nothing domestically is even half as important as the genocide going on. Any "harm reduction" you support that involves keeping the genocide going isn't harm reduction. It's sacrificing Palestinians to make your life just a little better. It's sacrificing kids, doctors, mothers, sisters, and brothers. It's sending young men to a painful death from bombs and it's sending old ones to slow organ failure. You're single issue is healthcare in the US? Fuck you. At least you have hospitals that aren't being bombed in the daily. You only care about your own kind. You are the "America first" types you claim to hate.
There is no fate cruel enough for those that support the United States.
These motherfuckers will never shut up about supporting the lesser evil until you tell them that Hamas, Hezbollah, Ansarallah, and Iran are the "lesser evil." Armed struggle against occupation is righteous. Armed resistance to genocide is righteous. The US, calling in every favor and applying pressure on every last one of its vassals as the global hegemon to permit a genocide to take place while providing arms and intelligence to the genocidaires is an abominable crime. The US has ceded the mantle of "humanitarian intervention" to Iran. You have to swallow that pill before I'm willing to listen to a single word out of your mouth.
Edit:
Post originally said "Iran." I changed it to "Yemen" because Yemen has actually made a big impact, but then edited back to Iran because a reply already came in at the same time.
Support for democrats isn't "harm reduction". It's a blood sacrifice. Adding on to your point, how is a country in the process of changing the age of consent to 6 for marriage more moral than America. The bar is in hell and so are we.
Any time some lib says "harm reduction," just immediately slap the taste out of their mouth. Follow it up with "a republican would have shot you."
Tennessee has proposed a bill to eliminate age requirements for marriage.
There is no federal legislation in the United States regarding the minimum age for marriage, and states are allowed to set their own parameters. Currently, child marriage is legal in 44 states and nearly 300,000 children were married between 2000 and 2018 across the country,
I confused Iran and Iraq there. Iraq is trying to lower age of marriage to 6, whereas Iran is steady at 9.
Apparently there is a bill that has been proposed in Iraq that would change the legal age of marriage to 9 for girls (not 6) and 15 for boys. Iran’s steady at 13 for girls and 15 for boys, with exceptions including 9 year olds and potentially younger with parental consent and court approval. According to my internet perusal.
Specifics aside, Iran is not a shining example of humanity or morality. Yet it's a more moral nation than the United States.
“What all these gentlemen lack is dialectics… they do not see that here nothing is absolute and everything relative. For them Hegel has never existed.” — Engels
You’re taking a very undialectical approach to the issue, where the problems within Iran (age of marriage here), stemming in large part from economic problems brought on by Western and particularly US imperialism, are proof of the “moral” quality of Iran as compared to the US, and, so too, Iran’s underdevelopment brought upon by these factors in main being its “moral” pride compared to the US as it cannot oppress other nations to nearly the same degree and often must act against national oppression.
The very idea of the comparison of the “morality” of nations like Iran and the US is beyond nonsense.
I responded to someone talking about single issue voting, my single issue being Gaza, and got responses such as: “tankie bullshit” and “another person lying that they care about Gaza”
At this point, I’ve kinda thrown it all to the wind. You say Trump will tear this country apart? Well good. If the fucking choices I get are:
A) comfort at home, discomfort abroad
B) discomfort at home, discomfort abroad
I’m fucking choosing B. Americans don’t deserve comfort. They don’t deserve to live their lives without fear while our fucking government terrorizes people across the world.
And I know ‘discomfort’ is a villainous description of what’s going on in Gaza, it just works well in the wordplay.
Also, wanted to say that my ex girlfriend’s dad went to one of those indigenous schools you mentioned. Horrible things happened to that man there. They were also given a surname by a white man, after he’d found out theirs had been long lost. Terrible, terrible stuff. Luckily in my time with her I actually got to spend time on the reservations. They are incredible and depressing at the same time.
If you're voting this election, will it be for De la Cruz or Trump?
Look, I’m just hoping I don’t have to make a hard choice. But it’s becoming more and more evident I’ll have to. Let me have my stupid rant lmaoooo
Vote or write-in PSL, since according to the Democrats, it’s the same as voting for Trump.
If the title was just "I don't want to hear liberals," that'd be accurate too.
And for anyone trying to talk about how Harris cannot condemn or promise anything else since she is VP, Johnson literally condemned US bombing of Vietnam while he was VP and running for president.
I think it is clear that the dems thought they had done enough to shift the conversation by introducing some new names and not choosing the most ghoulish of Zionists as VP. They desperately just want to get back to brunch and feel good about themselves.
Liberals support genocide. They support extermination and erasure of people. They support complete destruction of people's lives, heritage and society. They support all of that. All they will do in their cushy abode is hand waving and drop crocodile tears.
I would say not just school shooting I do not want to hear any thing from a liberal at all. Their vile facade and their inept hand waving is worthless. They support empire through and through. Whatever it takes for empire to keep going they will rally for it. They are very obedient in carrying out whatever that the empire will need. Anyone who thinks they do something that bettering anything is either a fool or a calculated liar.
