Democracy died in plain sight with the lights on.
Jeff Bezos doesn’t want the Ukrainian angle to the war!
This reeks of helping the Trump White House with their anti Ukraine policies.Fuck USA for not standing with democracy!
And Fuck USA for not standing with their closest traditional allies!
USA alone it is, at least for my part it is.For what it is worth, as an American, I consider this development to be a fucking embarrassment.
I know it’s not all American, but unfortunately we have to treat USA as a collective, when the collective is acting like an enemy.
I hope somehow USA will come to their senses, and not elect a raving lunatic again, after a period of sanity.No, I get it. This is how it needs to be played. I consider myself an outlier in that I know and care about all the insane geopolitical shit we’re doing now (in addition to the domestic situation), but there are a fuckload of complacent and/or bigoted assholes here. And the only way to shake them out of their complacency is pain and discomfort, economic or otherwise. So, genuinely, have at it. I know this is what the situation requires, and I for one really do not hold it against you. Our government is forcing your hand.
it takes more than hope. the US needs so much change it won’t come without blood.
USA is a very violent country, and I suspect you are right. Anecdotally the decades of refusal for stricter federal gun regulations indicate that very many Americans want violence.
You’re absolutely right, and, as an American, I encourage it. These people don’t stand for us, and they need to face consequences. One thing I’ll always disagree with though is treating all the people as the same entity. No matter where it is, this is a class war. We need to work with people in every nation to fight against rising fascism, wherever it is. We’re in this together, against them. We need allies to fight it though.
There are lots of Americans I like very much. USA has some very exceptional people and many good people.
Unfortunately they are not the ones in power, and the ones in power are not just a little bit bad and a little bit selfish.
They are lead Trump who is a flaming malignant narcissist, with a White House filled with Sociopaths. It’s an absolutely insane government that doesn’t give a shit about causing harm or breaking up old alliances if they think they can profit from it.As gravitas_deficiency wrote, the US government is forcing our hand, and we can’t treat USA like 2 countries, we have to treat it as 1 country. Last time with Trump we waited it out, but Trump has made that an impossible option this time. And the American people has made it an impossible option by electing Trump twice.
If it makes you feel any better, the US hasn’t been a democracy for most of it’s history. Women didn’t officially have the right to a bank account or line of credit without a male co-signer until 1974, and even after that, there were many cases of banks refusing to do so. That’s half the population of the country denied financial agency. I have no doubt that it affected the ability to vote independently.
Granted that most other countries weren’t any better during the same time period. My point is that the US was never the champion of democracy. It might have at best just been part of the leading edge at one point.
the US was never the champion of democracy.
True.

All these billionaire shitheads with their fallout bunkers. Starting to think that series is a futurementary.
Starting to think that series is a futurementary.
Yeah, that and Man in the High Castle streamed entirely by a company run by, of course, an obvious James Bond supervillain.
Fallout has always been a commentary about how unregulated capitalism is the ruin of everything. From the very first game.
- Vault-Tec fleeced its customers and double dipped, selling already filled vaults to other corporations to run experiments in them
- WestTek knowingly delivered faulty power armors to the US military, knowing full well that it would result in the deaths of US soldiers in a war which could end the existence of West-Tek itself, but they didn’t care, short term profits trumped long term existence.
- Nuka-Cola literally contained isotopes of radioactive elements as a selling point… not to mention the excessive amount of sugar and caffeine (120% of daily recommended sugar intake per bottle)
- may I remind everyone about the FEV? A literal miracle cure for all viral (bioweapon) infection, but that wasn’t enough, capitalists had to go further and think “but what if we used to mutate the entire population?”
Sounds like him and his fleshlight of a wife need an accident during a private jet flight
Oh no! A little less media help for the Ukraine Nazi puppet government!
Anyway…
lol
“local .ml account approves of billionaire Jeff Bezos manipulating major new outlet”
Upvote for the controversial opinion.
Do you feel like the world will be better off if the Russian Federation annexes Ukraine or if it remains independent? Is there some other solution you prefer?
From their post history they appear to be a straight up pro rusky propogandist. So I’d be thinkin less controversial opinion, more paid astroturfing, probably.
I invite you to take a look at how much of their post history is RT and Sputnik
