    when the american bourgeoisie say “political violence” they of course mean violence directed at the bourgeoisie. What about violence directed at the working class, the marginalized, the homeless? These forms of violence are “apolitical” in their opinion. The system is on autopilot and functioning as intended. Politics is only political when it ceases to do what they want. the-deserter

      Advocating for murder of minorities, doing politics right. As long as they’re not actively doing the killing it is all ok.

      The republicans don’t really give a shit either way when it comes to actively doing the killing, but the political spectrum of the US other than the ‘left wing extremists’ are also completely ok with it as long as you’re not actively pulling the trigger.

        Even on a moral standpoint. All violence is acceptable so long as it’s “not intentional”.

        “Millions of poor people have their lives ruined? Buh…buh…it’s just business! Nothing personal! Sure you poor people are going to die, but my weapons are refusing to hire and working together with the rich to get the best deal possible on both high rents and having you work for as free as possible! I hurt you all the fair and square way! Nothing personal!”

    It’s so annoying that political violence is now literally assassinating someone instead of, I don’t know, denying people lifesaving medicine, tearing people away from their families and putting them in concentration camps, disproportionately putting non whites in jail, the hundreds of mass shooters who were enthusiastically conservative, forcing people to have babies even if it kills them and the baby in the process… there are so many examples of violence, torture and death that happen to tens of thousands of people in the US every day explicitly because of a political decision made by politicians at the behest of the ruling class, not to mention what US policy does abroad, but somehow none of that is political violence and so it is an acceptable form of violence.

      Social murder to chuds/liberals is "the cost of captialism, just don’t be a lazy deadbeat, sweaty smuglord "

      Like with [insert minority here], they consider homeless people even less human than those groups because in their eyes, they’ve failed at capitalism because they’re moral failures who make bad life choices.

      It’s the social Darwinism that permeates post-Cold War society doomer

    The US really wants us to think China are the bad guys when they have social housing and America wants to enact the third reich against the unhoused.

    Unlimited genocide on the first world.

    He’s so bloodless in the actual clip, too. The person he was replying to had been talking and making their own reactionary talking points suddenly clammed up and just nodded, seemingly wanting to escape but unable to. leave the frame.

    Basically Kilmeade is an overt Nazi monster.

    Investors raise rent and housing costs, making housing more and more of a luxury good

    Now consumer goods want their raise too, groceries get more and more expensive

    Keeping up with this theme, employers have collectively decided to not hire. They’re all set and will be forever. Why bother expanding your business when you can fire half your workers and tell the remainder to double their workload? AI will take care of the rest. Congratulations, now half of your labor is being done for free.

    Oh look, now homeless is going up. No one would dare try a complex, hard solution. Time to pick the laziest, most fun solution of all! Advocate genocide! It’s that easy!

    You are not allowed to be mad at them in any capacity. It’s just business, don’t take it so personally! porky-happy
