As Congress considers payments to victims of Cold War-era nuclear contamination in the St. Louis region, people who were targeted for secret government testing from that same time period believe they’re due compensation, too.

    They criticize it, but then immediately turn around and support war because everyone else is still worse than the USA. Yeah, they take shit from the fascists for not saying the right things, but they happily feed the US imperial war machine day in and day out, regurgitate the propaganda, and demonize and dehumanize pretty much anyone in the global majority that is anti-imperialist.

    So no, I’m not going to get out of here with the “libs” shit. The libs were here first and shat on everything, they think they’re different from the enlightment era liberals who invented liberalism to justify capitalism, who created race science to justify the slave trade, who invented manifest destiny and the concept of civilized peoples to justify genocide. No. Fuck the libs. They deserve to be reminded every fucking minute that they are just as much a part of the genocidal and ecocidal war machine as the right and the fascists. The libs vote for the Democrats who want a strong and capable Republican party and don’t think there’s anything wrong with the way the Democrats wield power despite all the evidence that the way they wield power is congruent with enabling fascism and maintaining genocide and ecocide (just not for “good” people).

      You know, you’d have an ally with a liberal if you weren’t so narrow minded that you decide to shit on them and deride them when given the opportunity. So you can still GTFO with your “lib” shit.

        Why would I want liberals to be my allies when they have shown that every time they are forced to make a choice between fascism and communism they choose fascism?
