every president gets in office and is like “oh we can’t actually scale back the MIC at all due to all the intelligence i now have access to” and the intelligence is that there’s a terrorist organization in every country that we created that will kill a hundred people if we stop sending them money.

Unrelated Cuba related news, but a Cuban guy I know through a friend and who married an English woman to move over to the UK about 5 years ago had recently decided to get a divorce and move back to Cuba. This is great because the friend I knew him through genuinely believed Cuba to be some authoritarian hell hole despite the Cuban guy, his English wife and myself all trying to explain to him how it isn’t.

Anyway, having recently been to Cuba I don’t blame the guy moving back.

25% of British imperialism can be placed on people not wanting to be in Britain, and 75% on greed/racism/chauvinism/spices/tea/white man’s burden/etc.

I wonder if a Lemmy Lib is gonna wander in here to tell us that no president ever (except Trump and maybe Bush) actually had any power to do anything.

I hope so I’m kinda in the mood for a Lib dunking today.

I want a lemmy lib to come in here and tell me why we actually need to vote so Biden can do this at the end of his second term because the end of his first term isn’t good enough
