I became a communist

The brain is only truly complete when you’re dead. Best to be safe and never let anyone make a decision.

I don’t think the right has the juice for a popular uprising at this point. There’s a good chance the administration will escalate the war, but they’d probably do that if they won the midterms, too. It will only make them more unpopular.

A false flag operation would be a fool’s errand. My local school gets a bomb threat every week. Our infrastructure is already falling apart routinely. It’d just be hard to shock us with something like that at this point.

We’re also a settler colonialist state. We’re set up from the foundation as a society that respects property rights over human life. People get shot for knocking on someone’s door asking for help here. Our police torture and kill with impunity, and we imprison more of our population than any European country by far. It is hard to build strong working class movements but we have had some bright spots in recent history. But it’s also true that rioting in a few US cities wouldn’t have the same impact here as it does in France.

They’re democrats by necessity, though, and not embraced by or representative of the party establishment.

A pathetic cry baby just like the country she supports over her own.

Do you know where I might read further about this as a non-expert?

Try to have some fruit on hand!

Sounds like these folks didn’t do much research before they moved. The idea that you’d move to Poland to escape America’s right wing - like, are you joking?

I’ll admit that I’ve set up a few international job alerts just in case I get lucky, but I wouldn’t move without good work unless I was truly in a situation where I needed asylum.

There’s a whole psychology lecture contained in this comment.

So they have money to brutalize children but not to teach them.
