Today, I wish to discuss how the difficult questions of third world feminism are elided and obscured by Western feminists---both white and not---and kindly ask feminists all over the world to grow a fucking pair.

There is no "become." People need to stop fucking acting like this is something new. We're the country of slavery, genocide, and systemic oppression so vile that we literally inspired the Nazis. None of this is new, it's what we've always been. Accept it so you can fight it.
Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.

You wanna know what’s really interesting is Hawaii (or maybe I should say mostly Hawaiians) is pretty anti-military, but pro-cop. But for like similar reasons. Bc *we* are the region bombed and poisoned by the military, but everyone’s uncle is a cop (mine included 🥴). I have a hard time grasping it.
The sheer cognitive dissonance it takes for USians to shriek "ACAB but the poor widdle imperial goons had no choice and respect the troops and and and" always belied such a rank, foul hypocrisy.
Cops are bad because they hurt USians, who are people, but soldiers hurt foreigners, so who cares.

This idea that the military is here to protect us is absolutely absurd. They have been bombing Indigenous lands forever. it’s not to protect US citizens in any way, it’s to protect the state.

Hey y'all, please stop being racist as hell and saying the bombing of Venezuela is a distraction from the Epstein Files. People are suffering, you absolute fucking ghouls.

Yeah the liberal American sentiment of 'respect the troops no matter what' only grows more and more infuriating to everyone outside the US as every year passes and time is trampled to mush under the boots of empire.

i don't fucking support the troops. if you're still in the military at this point and you're still following orders you deserve nothing less than the worst.
I fully expect them to try and run playbook of trying to get anyone opposed to this fired as not supporting the troops and I don't think people are going to have it. We support the troops by not getting them killed in illegal wars for oil.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

To be fair, people in the US, really love cops too. ACAB is aesthetic for most. There is no interest AT ALL in diminishing the power of policing. We just saw this again over the past 5 years.

Troops can object and refuse an order on conscientious grounds. They can infact say no. Having a spine is being more willing to face discharge or even military prison rather than “following orders”
No excuses.
