Every organization in America has to have political opinions now. And they’d better support the political establishment otherwise there will be consequences. The American Federation Of Teachers, one of the US’ largest teachers unions, comes out in favor of bombing Syria . I feel like this is some sort of reductio ad absurdum of unnecessary politicization of stuff. But it’s our reality now.

Why don’t they just shut up about it? Because silence is violence. You’re either in the forefront or you’re suspicious.

Neither Trump nor Obama were in charge of the drone strikes. They merely had to rubber stamp the decisions made by the Pentgon and State Department, the real rulers in America. Had either of them not done so, they would be designated as domestic enemies and dealt with accordingly. Heck, this actually happened to Trump. Obama was more compliant.

Trump not only started no wars. He tried to stop two wars. He was overruled by the Pentagon and State Department (if you’re Obama’s people, you call them “the blob”, if you’re Trump’s people, you call them “the deep state” - either way it’s unelected government flexing and demonstrating that democracy has no effect on their decisions) and the wars continued. Remember after Trump ordered a withdrawal from Syria, a pissed-off McCain made a beeline for Syria and a week later there was a false flag chemical attack that the OPCL said never happened? And then the war had to continue. Darn!

Then Biden ordered one of the wars stopped, and these same unelected government were absolutely outraged. So in retaliation, they did a poor job of withdrawal and blamed the disaster on Biden. Yet another Suez Moment for America, which seem to keep happening and yet America’s standing in the world is the same as ever.

No, the half million dead Iraqi children was before Bu$hitler. That was Madeline Albright, during Clinton’s term. Here’s her confession of genocide recorded on video - she says it was worth it.

A living monster. Blood dripping from her fangs, real-life monster.

Oh, and Bill Clinton is a rapist.

Wasteful of space how exactly? They’re crammed in tightly against each other and have tiny lawns. This is in fact a very efficient use of space.

You’d have to be in your sixties to have been around when this was happening.

I did? “Look at how much space these houses are wasting” They’re not wasting space. They are crammed together cheek by jowl. A waste of space is a half acre lot. Plus the houses are three stories, they can’t get much higher without installing an elevator. The front yards are postage stamps and the back yards look to be some kind of shared space.

We’re not talking about a return to feudalism, we’re talking about growing food in front yards. Which you called “dumb”.

Concentration camps were invented by the British to destroy the Boer republics. See, those farmers were sitting on diamond mines, and such wealth was unsuitable for them. It was better suited to the hands of bankers, who would use the wealth responsibly, making the world safe for the spread of Anglo-Saxon capitalism. So a loan was taken out against the value of the diamonds and an army raised. But lo! The army was defeated! No trouble, a second army was raised. And this one was having problems too! So the British invented the concentration camp as a way to starve the defenseless families of the Boer citizen-soldiers. It worked. South Africa was set up not long after. Blood diamonds flowed freely, and the deBeers cartel came into existence. One tribe of whites invented the concentration camp to use on another tribe of whites (and blacks, they were imprisoned too but nobody remembers this).
