      translated from liberal: “I am reasonably comfortable in the imperial core and I want that material privilege to continue, even if it means the death of the biosphere.”

      I mean, a choice between cancer and the common cold is still a choice.

      What a strange, ill-fitting analogy. First of all, who in the hell gets to choose between getting cancer or getting a cold? But even if we ignore that, it’s still not a fitting analogy because one is typically a deadly disease and the other is just a temporary discomfort, so it absolutely does not apply to the US regime’s political parties. With democrats and republicans, we still have 2 deadly diseases, so the analogy should be more like “a choice” between colon cancer or bladder cancer.

      Both siding Republicans vs Democrats, while both bastions of dirty capitalism, is an intentionally superficial take

      You know what’s “superficial”? Failing to see through this obvious goodcop/badcop routine and thinking both of their goals aren’t exactly the same.
