If your system can only be healed from the outside, than you never had a system.
We are all in this world together. There is only one humanity. To hell with everything used to divide us, except this one thing. We are the working class. We are not slaves. We can rule ourselves. The wealthy are parasites. They have no borders. Their only creed is MORE. We can only throw off their chains and take back what is ours together.
There is basically nothing outside the system of global capitalism.
If you can't solve all of your problems alone, then you don't deserve to live.
fuck that individualist approach. we need communities for a reason.
Pretty sure this is sarcasm... I hope.
Thank you for being the only person so far to get the hyperbolic satire. I didn't think I needed to clarify that it was, when it was so over-the-top.
Sarcasm or capitalism...
People that actually think like this are a big part of the problem here is the US.
Be better.
Very impresive strawmen, dude. You are arguing against something that was said only in your head.
Where was the "deserve" in what I said? I agree with the post. Very much agree that US should be sanctioned to accelerate the changes.
What I'm pointing out is that is the clear sign that US trouble is deeper than trump alone. The hope that a broken system will be healed with the change of people in charge of broken administration is like hoping that a loveless marriage can be healed by making a baby.
Is it also possible that what I said was hyperbolic satire?
Counter point: Fuck us maybe, but the crap is spreading. It’s also in your (other countries) interest to stop this. Or just treat us the the pariah we are and isolate the US and move on with out us.
Who is "they"?
You do realize that many Americans are fighting and dying for this every day, right? We have a new riot and strike every single year, at the least.
I will put money on your own country having significant issues that your people are trying to fight against with little headway.
We are stuck in this dystopian hell together. Please don't fall prey to the tribalism and othering that the ruling class are trying to sell us.
Literally turn on the news. How are you this blind?
Your entire comment is so ill-informed and unnecessarily vitriolic against suffering people. There is clearly no point in attempting to dismantle your ridiculous stance.
You must be insufferable in real life.
