The fact that he can do all of this and face zero opposition within government and didn’t even get punished once he was out of office (despite popular demand) kind of proves you didn’t have a democracy to begin with.

Where was democracy when Bush’s brother stole the election for him?

And Gandhi didn’t do jack shit.

Only once violent resistance had forced the Brits away they went “oh by the way it was totally the guy who would have laid down in the street to be flattened by our tanks, in case anyone else wants to try it”

They need to fear more, clearly.

Y’all tried tens of thousands of protests but are giving up at one CEO? That’s a shitty sample size.

Well that’s settled then, politicians would never lie to provide cover for companies. Nothing else that happened that week could have explained it, the government has done this so often (without even announcing it to the people they want votes from) that this is for sure the only explanation.

It wasn’t just that. There was prior evidence because he made one appearance every two months under very controlled circumstances and even then he looked lost as shit, confused, wandering, and whenever he talked into a mic you only got thirty seconds of sense out of him before he’d ramble about nonsense.

They wouldn’t have done a primary anyway because they knew Kamala (their chosen corporate candidate) would have gotten absolutely wrecked. She didn’t get a single delegate in the 2020 primaries.

Holy mother of based

I don’t know how to tell you this, but the third who voted democrat are at fault for repeatedly letting dems know they’d vote blue no matter who.

Not everyone wants to vote in Mussolini to avoid getting Hitler.

Just gotta get yourself a foreign sponsor to start sabotaging the US and get the rest of the world to stop selling you food, oil, or consumer goods like the US did to the DDR.

It was getting late for libs to start bringing up socialism to diagnose their fascist oligarchy. The USSR collapsed in the way most socialist states have collapsed: at gunpoint, after decades of siege, sabotage and outright insurrectionism sponsored or directly enacted by the US. It’s no accidentt that Vietnam, the DPRK and China have robust security states, you can’t survive the US without them.

So this probably means staffers had been loudly voicing their concerns and democrats were sabotaging themselves lmao

While I think this is a good level headed take, you’re seriously underestimating how comfortable with fascism the average american voter truly is. If they readily accept “immigrants and queers did it” as an answer to their admittedly worsening living standards, when corporations are no longer even hiding their plunder, they were looking for a reason to turn on them anyway.

This is by design, and the democrats are just as much at fault. The US flag has been synonymous with torture, genocide, death squads, weaponized rape whether a Democrat or a Republican is at the helm, and it’s only been the so-called hard leftist minority struggling for change within the US. As long as they reaped a tiny sliver of benefit from global imperialism, they were happy to shut up and tug for a bigger slice of the pie.

Now that they hardly even get the crumbs, parts of the electorate want to continue as usual, another part wants to get the whole world again so the crumbs alone can fill them up. But the US, from the ground up, has been designed so that you can only get a progressive in power by accident. If a fascist can get elected and immediately start wielding near-absolute power, you were always a corporatocracy with a fascist contingency plan.

The funny thing is, there’s more of a symbiotic relationship between us and plants.

Those plants that exhibited favorable traits for human consumption were carried far from their native ecosystem and through biome barriers they couldn’t have otherwise. In the same way peppers with capsaicin (which allowed birds/reptiles to eat and spread them around while deterring mammals that would otherwise ruin the seed) became more successful, wheat, corn and other grasses became more successful when the kernels got bigger because it encouraged humans to harvest those and maybe keep some for later/spread them around.

Plants may not have any agency but the fact is some of them evolved traits that made this upright monkey eventually toil away to guarantee their reproduction year after year.
