Oppenheim on my orange door hinge

Gonna radiate this rhyme with my open floor binge

damn I suck at this

As many as 45 of Antioch’s approximately 100 officers were placed on leave because of racist, homophobic, and disturbing text chains.

"Nobody is above the law"

Any regular fucking job if you had obscene racist/generally bigoted violent messages released you would be fired immediately without question. The people with the power to carry out these views get placed on leave with the assumption of returning at another point. Why? Because this is almost half of their police force (no need to explain this trend, just a few bad apples).

Even the article you linked says china admits soldiers gunned down over 300 people.

This is a complete distortion (either lie or misunderstanding, I'll assume the latter). It says that the government estimates 300 fatalities and that some victims were shot by soldiers. You are assuming that all of these deaths were from "300+ people being shot in the street", but even in this article they mention that soldiers were beaten and burned alive (which factors into the total). This rough "300" figure was rectified a week later in a full report as ~200, with 36 of the casualties being college students.

We know nobody was killed in the square (see confidential cable from U.S. government embassy in Beijing), we know many soldiers were killed and beaten, that soldiers were also gunned down, and that most did not have weapons. So the square was evacuated peacefully (we have video of this) and then a riot broke out outside the square. Why would this be done if the government was intent on "gunning them down" anyways? Terrible comment, try better next time.

Show me these irrational arguments

Someone wrote an article about how the UK government was infested with corruption and advocated to reform the system so that it couldn't be exploited for profit. I commented a relevant quote from Lenin's State and Revolution on democracy under capitalism.

I know where my vote's going

rule of law more like rule of cock

"The effect has been reformism rather than revolution. When any election is held it will fortify rather than destroy the credibility of the power brokers. When we participate in this election to win, instead of disrupt, we’re lending to its credibility and destroying our own. With all the factors of control over the electoral process in the hands of the minority ruling class, the people’s party can always be made to seem isolated, unimportant, even extraneous. If these tactics still give the appearance of revolution to some after decades of miscarriage, we are justified in replacing them as vanguard… Stupidity is not unknown to our long-range political policy makers. Participation in electoral politics organized by the enemy state—after recognizing that the whole process must be discredited as a conditional step into revolution, and particularly participation that tends to authenticate this process—is the opposite of revolution. It’s a tactic for the ultra-rightists. With history as a guide we could never make such monumental errors." -- George Jackson

Democrats are not a “step in the right direction”, their only aim is to cement and enlarge settler privileges while perpetuating imperialism in the underdeveloped world (which has continued regardless of party). “Harm reduction” until the end of time is ultimately the idea that what happens to the victims of U.S. imperialism is inconsequential because we get a marginally better share of concessions, with the nonsense proposition that eventually if we get enough establishment democrats into power (despite marginal differences even in the realm of concessions) somehow there will be a “progression” made, and in 500 years the millions of victims of the U.S. abroad will thank us because the bombers who kill them will support Democrats and “civility.”

Trump is a neonazi and Biden is just the other racist who continues the genocidal sanctions on the underdeveloped world (and American imperialist operations in Yemen and Israel, of which Biden labeled himself a “Zionist” (totally normal)) and imperialist trade relations, continues the imperialist relationship with Central and South America (and Africa) while obscuring the “border crisis” and putting immigrants in concentration camps, upholds the men and movement that inspired Nazism (founding fathers and early Amerika), continues to fund the police so they can terrorize black and poor people, continues the colonialist relationship with Puerto Rico and Hawaii and South Korea, so on.

Why is Trump a neonazi? Because he said Nazi shit? The U.S. does Nazi shit all across the globe and to its own population. Biden is no less a neonazi than Trump.

Government funds stolen from the third world I hope your settler colony burns. Can't have "positive reforms" under an imperialist structure

LMAO

Your reply barely addresses anything lmao.

You know that there are death camps in North Korea to this day right? Where as [sic] South Korea does not have any death camps.

Wow! I am shocked and appalled! May I have an article to read on this startling atrocity?

One party systems are not democracy [sic]

Democracy is entirely empty when there is no rule by the majority (i.e. class rule, of which the U.S. is ruled by an economic minority that decides candidacy under the illusory pretext of multiparty competition). The multiparty system by itself is not a guarantee of democracy nor is it the only system of democracy. There can be competing ideas within a party (especially a mass party as the PDPA), and party rule does not negate elections to party positions and mass participation. This is much more a slogan that completely misunderstands different political realities than an actual point. Terrible response to my multitude of points on Afghanistan, although I don’t know if you’re capable of anything else. Under the PDPA, equal rights for women, land reform, and public healthcare were established (Against Empire, p. 57). The king and autocracy were overthrown, labor unions were legalized, women were allowed to read and hold government positions and began literacy programs alongside poor peasants. The U.S. undid all of this by supporting terrorists and committed atrocities in order to ensure their own interests (yay democracy!).

This is a straw man. I don't agree with the war in Iraq. Read my comments if you don't believe me.

When you wrote that you “think what [the U.S. government] learned from Afghanistan and Iraq is that democracy cannot be forced.” This, in my view at least, clearly implies that the U.S. government was fighting in Iraq for democracy. Feel free to give me an alternate interpretation.

Democracy cannot be forced. If people don't fight to defend it, it will be taken away.

This is a fine platitude, but not what I was addressing. I was specifically noting your comments I just mentioned on how these pursuits failed because “democracy cannot be forced”, i.e. the U.S. was “forcing democracy” where people were not ready for it. I categorically reject that U.S. FP is oriented towards democracy (and you’ve done nothing to prove it is), and think it is absolutely disgusting to say that this is what the U.S. needs to “learn from", that the people simply "weren't ready" for our good will and hospitality in the form of bombs and torture. It’s whitewashing nonsense.
