“Far Leftist” here! My Leftist contract doesn’t permit me to speak for other Leftists, but, I can guarantee, all else being equal, that as long as actively opposing genocide—and making sure that would-be Presidents do as well—remains “performative outrage”, you can count on my “performance”.

It’s be more ecologically sound to allow them to be eaten by ants or colonized by mycelium or something, but whatever the case, let’s not think of it as retribution, but instead an opportunity for them to demonstrate their “inherent genetic superiority” by adapting to adverse conditions.

The dominant power structures in this land are a metastasized amalgam of capital interests and the fears and prejudices and weaknesses capital leverages to exercise power, and those who broker that power inevitably reflect each of those factors to a greater or lesser degree.

The purpose of a system is what it *does*. I am, and will continue to be more interested in assessing what our machine of State is producing than in microscopically assaying individual politicians for minute variations of principle in pursuit of some precise taxonomy of “goodness”.
