@squareydavid 1) Both China and the United States depend on central banking in a global monetary system that encompasses most, if not all, “markets” in the world. 2) Both countries are de facto oligarchies that protect entrenched wealth and power.
@squareydavid 3) Both countries are largely unaccountable to their residents, who are broadly regarded as “human capital stock.” 4) Both countries are dominated by an increasingly controlled media. 5) Both countries contribute to growing, global income inequality.
@squareydavid 6) Both countries are two of the only five permanent members of the United Nation’s Security Council. 7) Both countries demonstrate wide-ranging historical disregard towards their own populations.
@squareydavid 8) Both countries believe its their privilege to intercede in other countries affairs. 9) Both countries agree on the same general world system; they simply disagree on who’s at the top, and how to mitigate risk to their own self-serving power.
@squareydavid In regard to your rebuttal. 1) The United States committed a very successful genocide and forced migration of multiple Native American tribes. 2) The United States kept humans as captives and exploited them meanly for their labor.
@squareydavid 3) The United States allowed World Capital to genocide a great swath of the American people and their way of life in the last half of the nineteenth century, culminating in a forced starvation event in 1893.
@squareydavid 4) Donald Trump and the Republicans ostensibly committed genocide when they told the nation that COVID19 was a hoax.
@squareydavid 5) The United States didn’t create shit. Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, AstroZeneca and Co. created the vaccines and they will profit from our misfortune for the duration of the pandemic, and beyond.
@squareydavid In regard to sycophants like yourself, your bark is bigger than your bite.
@squareydavid In regard to @SariArhoHavren, it’s a simple matter of pointing to the naivete and deceit of someone who is married at the hip to the pharmaceutical industry and is a beneficiary of the aforementioned system. As a result, I’m blocking you both.
@robotronica@p_jeanne97@JStein_WaPo If we lived in a Republic, society would be split in 3 tiers - captives, slaves and enforcers - and we would all be ruled over by a god-king and his priestly yes-men.
@robotronica@p_jeanne97@JStein_WaPo Children would be harvested from the lower classes, inured to bloodshed at early age and forced into an enforcer eugenics program designed to breed a race of obedient murderers.
@robotronica@p_jeanne97@JStein_WaPo Emphasis would be placed on mathematics while art and literature are censored and limited to displays of submission.
@mansoortshams@davenewworld_2 The Shakers were the most ardently "Christian" of all Christians I've researched. I don't believe the first "Christians" were even theistic. That's a contrivance of the Holy Roman Empire. They were probably Classical Cynics.
@mansoortshams@davenewworld_2 Classifying the original Christians as monotheistic or Jewish is probably part gross misunderstanding, part infernal deceit. Jesus may have been born in Bethlehem to a Jewish family, but he died a Classical Cynic. When he was executed, his persecutors made him a martyr.
@laurenboebert Power is out because our infrastructure is in shambles. If we adequately funded government and empowed people, we could fix the situation, but aspiring assassins and sycophants to billionaires like you do little more than collect bribes while they receive their instructions.
@laurenboebert I've met people like you. You usually end up in the backwoods, married to retired rent-a-cops, chain-smoking and talking shit to the same boring faces that nod in agreement with every word you say as you all collectively double-down on cruelty, hatred and selfish pride.
@laurenboebert It's the same mentality that leads false-Christians to preach hate and violence under the rubric of Christ. Like them, you're a petty, self-absorbed nihilist. What the fuck do you think you know?
@IlhanMN I'm going to write about the complexity of the situation. There's a danger in dismissing information to concentrate on a single trait of what is NOT a monolithic demographic, no matter how much some us want to portray them as a monolithic demographic.
@IlhanMN Does white supremacy color much of the rhetoric shared by this group? Absolutely. Has our suicidal economy helped radicalize these seditionists? I GUARANTEE IT.
@IlhanMN Community disintegration, the loss of our manufacturing base and increasing inequality in the greater context of institionalized racism have created a deeply resentful group of newly-minted fascist radicals who tried to kill you, and you want us to limit our search criteria?
