    We don't need more police officer. We need MASS DEPORTATION.

    So who do they think will be performing the "mass deportations?" Accountants?

    At this point I don't care who it is that is blowing up Israeli tanks.

    As long as they are blowing up Israeli tanks, they are at least doing something right in my book.

    Oh yeah?

    Yeah. Here, I'll say it again because you seem so bewildered by anyone challenging your rose-colored view of "western" (ie, white) imperialism. This...

    Fascism is against your own people, colonialism is against other peoples.

    ...is literally the dumbest thing I have ever heard said in regards to this subject.

    Who the fuck decides who belongs to what, genius? The colonizers? You?

    Colonialism is the exploitation of people and of resources by a foreign group.

    Oh, so what is and isn't colonialism is dictated by which side of a glorified fence the government-funded murderers, torturers and rapists are born on?

    Don't you liberals have anything substantial to hide behind?

    they wanted to exterminate and replace them. Not colonialism.

    So Native Americans weren't victims of colonialism, then?

    It doesn't take a lot for you to show your true colors, does it?

    Germany famously didn’t manifest any colonial holdings

    Oh, so apart from the colonialist slaughter inside the Soviet Union that Germany didn't do (according to you), they also didn't perpetrate bog-standard colonialist genocide against the Herero and Nama in Namibia, eh?

    What is next, apologist? The Holocaust was a hoax, perhaps?

    A week after the government lifted mask mandates here in South Africa the lady who usually helped me at the local pharmacy was dead. She was immunocompromised, and it took just a week of people huffing their breath on her for her to catch COVID and die. Just like that.

    I wear my mask religiously whenever I walk into any building. No one is getting COVID because of my criminal negligence.

    But it's not just that. I also wear my mask because I don't believe people should be allowed to simply forget COVID and all the shitfuckery about our society that it exposed.

    Sorry, I know this rant doesn't help you in any way.

    Don't know why you're getting downvoted for this.

    I can only guess that the liberals on here are thoroughly invested in treating fascism and colonialism as some kind of "aberration," unfortunate oopsies, in their otherwise pristine concept of the liberal nation state.

    You mean the history books that will never, ever classify the Nazi slaughter in eastern Europe as colonialist, despite the fact that colonialist justification doesn't get more blatantly colonialist than "lebensraum"?

    Or do you mean the history books that completely ignore the perfectly blatant fact that the wellsprings of fascism are all "western" (ie, white) countries that have deep histories of colonialist slaughter and exploitation?

    Are those the history books you are referring to?

    Are you sure you’re not being reactionary?

    Yes.

    It’s attacking the people that watch these movies…

    No, it doesn't. It literally just demonstrates how we are swamped by this pro-status quo propaganda. That is most definitely not what an "elitist anti-working class" narrative looks like at all. If you want to see what an "elitist anti-working class" narrative looks like, go watch any Batman movie.

    That’s the joke/point in many comics and comic book movies, too.

    No, it isn't.

    What the cartoonist is very accurately depicting is the super-creep genre's typical practice of painting subversive ideas as inherently dangerous.

    The United States and the UK successfully blocked attempts to outlaw all use of incendiary weapons

    That's because incendiary weapons are great for exterminating villages full of poor people in the colonized world - ie, the kind of wars the US and UK prefer to wage.

    I don't even know why you try. The liberals are going to ride their "good cop" train all the way to November in the hopes of going to sleep afterwards in the same way they did during the Obama years.

    You will have traction again when the libs discover that they can't keep a lid on Palestine like they've done in previous decades, as well as all the other gigantic blunders the US will be perpetrating afterwards.

    I remember when I was growing up,

    You remember propaganda (when corporations do it, it's called "Public Relations").

    That's what you remember. Now, thanks to the internet democratizign information somewhat, they don't just get to feed us their "public relations" anymore. Now people can counter that shit, and people see them for what they really are - parasites.

    It's capitalism, baby. Welcome to the real world.

    A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center have raised warnings about such documents, citing inadequate protections for people’s constitutional rights.
