especially considering that over 100 schoolgirls were murdered in the process.

if a bomb killed 150 children and also took out Trump, I wouldn't celebrate it

    The deaths of children will forever prevent america from being a hero here. So we've just created a new enemy, likely a more cunning one than the last.

    that's the point. make sure there are always people who hate America with all their soul. so there's always a justification for the US to be a military state.

    this is largely how we know i live in a terror state. america needs enemies to justify its continued imperial project so it will go out and manufacture them

    when I say, cruelty is the point, this is why. that's why they do family separation, what's why ensure people suffer, both domestically and internationally. it's an investment in future targets

    reasons to resist fascism:

    1. basic fucking empathy, you shouldn't need more you jackass
    2. oh? you need more you fucking sicko? fine. how about this. if the state is indescriminantly killing, it will only be a matter of time until it thoughtlessly kills you by "mistake"
    3. jesus christ, you still need convincing? my god. okay. here you go. you reap what you sow. in 20 years the children who see what you're doing will be adults. there will be no forgiveness in their hearts for the parents, brothers, and sisters you killed. so maybe don't give them a reason to hate you

    but fascist apologists lack empathy and they lack the critical thinking skills to be moved by the other two

    you can't debate or convince them. best is ignore it and use that energy to build a better community without their input or consent.

    I would celebrate Trump death but not the 150 children. Gotta learn to compartimentalize and all that, in a complex world.

    you shouldn't compartmentalize that operation Epstein has slaughtered 150 schoolgirls. you should be furious.

    This world is full of evil, we have to be willing to take in what little good we can get for what it is until people start doing really better. If Operation Epstein kills 150 schoolgirls and Trump, I of course won't be celebrating that 150 schoolgirls are dead, but also I'm not going to lie or omit that Trump dying is the only good thing coming out of that. What, you want me to lament that Trump is dead?
