TBH, that is just a mainstream centrist position now.
I love how we’ve gone from “preemptively striking a country because we don’t like the cut of their jib” to “pretending the US’s ally didn’t already preemptively strike a country.”
We’re preemptively because they started it
A real life preemptive last resort.
Hey look it’s the guy who sent the us army in to crush dissent and put down a black uprising against militarized white occupying cops in my city.
It sucks when it’s more personal, like when ’s favorite basketball playing buddy (relevant because that’s how he was chosen for the job, according to a cute anecdote) Arne Duncan personally came by to fuck over my school district even harder than ever did.
Obama and Gates decimated the already underfunded and crumbling public US school system with their charter bullshit. When nobody can read or do math in 20 years, they are the most direct culprits
I know it, and as a former educator, my decision to retire early is due in part to the damage that they started and the increasing helplessness that I and my fellow teachers around me had, forcibly tied to bullshit test-prep mandates that were intended to be failed because failure means even more testing and punitive privatization.
Gates and his fellow “education reformer” buddy (yes, he was involved in that!) wanted to screw kids in more ways than one.
So Iran has already struck Israel, and Israel has already done assassinations on Iranian soil, so the only strike I can think he means at this point being “preemptive” is a nuclear one.
I am unironically wondering if Trump might be the harm reduction choice at this point.
At least Trump is incompetent
I feel like Dem Congress with Trump as president is almost certainly the least bad outcome
Dem Congress with Trump as president
Dems capitulating to Trump’s fascist demands rather than Repubs plowing through fascist demands over Harris’s lukewarm objections.
But in the end
“I support the first amendment but…”
It’s always the same shit. Nobody actually gives a single fuck about free speech. Nobody is truly a free speech absolutist. Everyone is fine with opinions they agree with and wants to censor “the enemy propaganda”.
Wish people would just be honest and straightforward about it instead of this constant bullshit
