  • I have family in law enforcement and working in “”“defense.”“”" Don’t want to say too much because it would easily dox me, but I’m talking about actual feds.

    One of the steps towards becoming a socialist is seeing how awful that part of my family is. They’re fucking ghouls and some of the worst pigs you’ll ever meet. Made me say “If they treat their own family like this, what the fuck are they doing to people who have no recourse?”

    Maybe it’s because my maternal grandmother was genuinely one of the worst people I’ve ever known and my dad was a piece of shit so I have a personality disorder. I don’t see why it’s so hard for people to accept their family members are terrible human beings. Especially people who had literal nazis or slave owners in their family.

    Even Heinrich Himmler loved his family. He called his daughter regularly by telephone when he was away. She’d come visit her father at work, where she’d get candies from other nazis, including Hitler. Her father just happened to be head of the SS and had her with him when overseeing the Holocaust at Dachau. She was 16ish when the war ended, so it’s not like she didn’t understand what was in front of her.











  • instead of regurgitating neoliberal myths that perpetuate the US hegemony.

    One way to do this is to point out what would happen if someone “called our debts.” Let’s say the US actually owes this money to various investors. Americans are going to have much worse problems before this happens, if it were to happen. Nobody cashes out unless they think the country is collapsing. And not in the “Oh no a recession that makes 2008 look like the 1950s!” but in the “People are being disappear’d and there’s gunfights between militia groups over water,” type of collapse.

    At which point, whatever the debt is doesn’t matter because it would be the end of the US federal government. People would only call those debts because they know they aren’t going to get a return on their investment. USD will be worth fuck-all.

    Regardless, it’s mostly money the US government owes itself. And decision makers are aware the debt doesn’t actually need to be paid back. The whole thing is a sham made up to justify austerity and imperialism.

    Police and the military aren’t attacked in the US because the majority of Americans think those are good things. Americans want white supremacy and classicism enforced. Americans just think the enforcement is being done to the wrong groups, so they carry out mass shootings against schools, churches, etc. as a correction.

    The actually oppressed are in no position to openly engage in warfare against the government. MLK pointed out it would be a disaster because the retaliation would exceed any forces black Americans could muster. Look at how much pearl clutching was done in the wake of the George Floyd protests. The so-called moderates immediately supported the pigs throwing people into unmarked vans.
