Nah, it's full on copaganda, unironically.

Everyone knows it's cheaper to wait for humans to reproduce and grow (and die in shitty preventable conditions) than it is to invest your manpower in constant reindustrialization.

I think that was the lesson of the US Civil War.

Its defeatist to just accept evil. Call it out. Its not normal. Its not ok.

Why do y'all libs write like you're auditioning for speechwriter in The West Wing lmao. Dork behaviour.

The only way to reach westerners is on the other side of a crisis that affects them personally. Anyone who can see the malicious cruelty of everyday life in America as well as the huge misery they export everywhere else and either pretend they don't know or shrug it off ain't gonna be converted by morality or reason, they're gonna be reached once it happens to them or the handful of people they might actually care about.

I personally try to be helpful and nicer when somebody's shown genuine curiosity or naive misguidedness. We've all been there at one point. But there's far too many who are just parroting the US line as if it were gospel and I don't think ridiculing them is even the worst option.

There it is. If you're not a liberal you're personally getting checks written by Putin or whomever's the villain of the month.

My grandma has been at that stage for 8 years after a stroke that left her half paralyzed, and she doesn't have one percent as much access to care as these ghouls. I won't be holding my breath.

Can you point me to a party that holds any significant amount of power that isn't just a Tory with a different preference for what sort of worker gets killed at the altar of capital today?
