I am an American combat veteran of the Global War on Terror. I suffer from moral injuries, and I have trouble not seeing any issue through the lens of American imperialism.
Fuck everyone who is willing to sacrifice Ukrainian men and boys in order to weaken Russia for the benefit of the Western powers.
I’m the last person anyone would invite to a party.
Taiwan? The military dictatorship until the mid-1990s, founded by a warlord who slaughtered thousands of civilians? Do you mean that Taiwan? We have to protect that at all costs; in no way is it just a way to expand our military footprint next to a superpower. No, not Ukraine. Taiwan!
It’s been like that since the start of the war on terror. The US can label anyone (including US citizens) they want as a terrorist and kill them and their family despite no due process.

Perhaps this is the largest mass execution of Indians, whereas the Trail of Tears killed more in total?
He certainly is the type to have owned slaves and ordered the largest massacre of Native Americans in history, so I can sort of understand what his dementia is trying to get at.
They were too busy helping the British systematically starve millions of Indians.
PS: There were no good guys in WW2.
I love seeing people cry about carts not being “put away” in parking lots. Put that energy toward pressuring the multinational conglomerate that is undoubtedly mispricing items and stealing from employees’ paychecks to hire more people to patrol the lot for carts.
