    Focus that rage upward.

    I have such distain for our military industrial complex and ICE, but I recognize so much of the problem is desperate people taking desperate measures. They decided it’s better to risk your life in a foreign war than it is to be home watching you and your family whither away with no healthcare, education, or money. I don’t agree but I can understand- debt will put anyone in a pressure cooker. Two things can be true at once- being a stoog for American imperialism makes you horrible, but people who are stooges can still be people to show sympathy for when you consider the factors at play.

    When the revolution comes, as all revolutions do, it is only when the military allows the people to storm the gates. In my head we don’t need to thank service members as much as say I’m so sorry what this country did to them.

      I’m Persian, from Iran. I don’t give a fuck why those yank butchers signed up to go murder my family. They already killed my moms side in Iraq now they’re going to go kill my dad’s side. Fuck them and I hope they burn in hell. I wish they would skip to the part where they shoot themselves drunk and spare my family that remains in Iran.

        Iran is a horrifying dictatorship that deserves nothing less to be taken out with force. The only travesty is that American, on our own path of dictatorship and horrifying capitalism is the one who might do it.

          We can take care of ourselves. Thinking that you can “take out” a dictatorship is absolute baby brain levels of understanding how the world works. A power vacuum is never filled by something positive and you support creating the conditions to make everything worse. Grow up.

            You can eh? Then do it. I’m not so naive to think that uprising without outside intervention always succeed. Historically, outside support is very helpful for successful uprising.

            You can’t just take out a dictatorship. And I don’t think that. You need long standing dedicated occupation that builds up the country over decades to have successes like japan.

              You have no right to invade and occupy other countries. All you yank fuckers will do is make everything worse and kill a lot of people. Why don’t you stay in your own fucking country and kill yourselves.
