Well yeah that's because we haven't voted for Harris yet. The country can't function until we do that. Joe Biden? Who's that? Congress? What are you talking about? Just vote and everything will magically be fixed

Why use critical thinking when instead I can just believe everything US backed organizations tell me!

Still tells me everything I need to know. Silence is violence

I like this because then we can see who votes against it and know definitively who does and does not support this ongoing genocide

I think this is likely. I could see the US starting a proxy somewhere in South America too but nothing feels particularly primed for it. Taiwan definitely seems like the next major bet.

If it's not Taiwan, it might be somewhere else that is regional specifically to keep China busy. India, something like that. The US values Taiwan extremely highly because of TSMC so they may decide that starting a war there is too risky.

Turns out that being the front of yet another US/Russian proxy war sucks, as it always does, and maybe you should have thought about that before happily volunteering your country for the job.

I'm sure the next country the US wants to proxy into oblivion will learn from Ukraine, right?

Genocide, same thing they've been doing with infinite help from the US

Deindustrialization continues. Apparently capitalists are convinced you can run an economy solely on financial trading. I mean you probably can it just isn't an economy that most people can participate in. We'll have the world's highest GDP while millions are homeless and starving and we'll celebrate it like it's some real accomplishment

I say it like dahtay and you can't stop me

I used to think that these sorts of people were hurting the cause but over time I realized no, not really. Mostly because the kinds of people who engage with that sort of dialogue try to use it as a weapon, saying things like "see THIS communist says x y or z and that means YOU'RE saying x y or z too." Then you try to engage with that conversation and one of two things happens. Either you explain no, that isn't what we believe and here's why and they listen, or they shout NO TRUE SCOTSMAN at you and pretend like if anyone ever identifies as anything, that means everyone that also identifies as that must be the same. The former group isn't negatively impacted by patsocs because the former group aren't fucking stupid, and the latter group will never engage with you or anyone seriously no matter what you do, so why bother wasting your time.

This lesson helped me a lot once I realized it. Only engage with people who will actually earnestly engage with you. The others are someone else's problem or require a different organizing strategy.
