People in the US debate whether other populations should live or die as a necessary consequence of their electoral choices. That's empire.
Why would the rest of the world not want such imperial power destroyed? The ruling establishment, not to mention vast swathes of the US public, casually decides whether the life or death of whole other populaces is convenient for them.
The fact it's a genocide, war, mass deportation, sanctions, and destabilizing other countries are regular questions at all is wild. Why wouldn't you be unwavering about ending an arrangement that puts you in such an evil position?
The US and its patriots (passive or purposeful) do not have the right to endlessly kill the rest of the world for their comfort.
Many people have lost whatever soul they thought they had and may not even know it. Don't let US politics steal yours. Fight for the world, not just for yourself.

The treatment “Black Lives Matter,” “woke,” and “critical race theory (CRT)” received as terms and phrases showed what can happen when language is distorted for control by reactionaries. They're determined to have complete authority over education, assembly, and speech.
Surrendering anything to reactionary forces that want to take how we speak and twist, vilify, and criminalize it can be a major loss. It makes you have to constantly respond to the distortion instead of making progress toward goals, learning, or better positioning.
Fascists immediately go to work misconstruing the terms they target so that they become 'controversial' and alienating. They want people to start off by saying what they're not or condemning misrepresentations first. It makes the whole situation shift into their hands every time.

It's hard for some to hear, but the police being a threat to people who need help is police work. That's the *standard*. The USA is one of the most carceral, highly policed societies imaginable. If policing was going to prevent these crises here it would be happening.
The question keeps coming up: “Why didn't they do their job?” They did exactly what they were trained to do. Their job is to *police* the vulnerable. Policing and protecting those in need are two completely different things. We're paying for policing, not our protection.
Calling 911 may get us killed by police when we need help. We all know this. They show up to do police work and violence is their primary go-to. This is not an institution rooted in addressing the issues that cause problems around us. Policing is policing, that's the job.
