The western-supremacists literally can't keep their mouths shut, when given a chance to denounce any country they consider "barbarian".

Its a current enemy for not being destroyed (like the US tried to do), so a bunch of western-supremacist-brained people believe literally anything negative said about it, as it confirms their racist biases.

The US dropped more napalm, and bombs, and agent orange on vietnam (a comparatively small country) than it did during all of WW2. Lots of its people are still suffering from this atrocity.

The only US administration who has talked about using nukes in a casual way is Trump's. As to accusations of genocidal tendencies, neither nation has a clean record.

The US is the only country to have nuked civilians, multiple times. Japan, and they also nuked a few islands in the pacific to test the fallout effects on nearby islanders.

Such a good album. Crazy how old vaporwave is now.

They have alternative voting systems in both Japan and Australia, doesn't make a bit of difference, still capitalist dictatorships. Australia is also still carrying out their eviction of its indigenous peoples under that system, just like the US.

One related point: Stuxnet only set back the Iranian nuclear program a few months at most, while endangering the security of nearly the entire internet in the process, as well as opening up a new weapon of war in the form of digital attacks on critical infrastructure.

The US even had to divert a ton of resources to secure its own systems, from itself (and Israel)'s attack. Its probably the worst case of blowback we have so far in the digital era.

The documentary zero days is really good, and goes over this.

One I didn't see mentioned yet: reservoir dogs.

Alternatively, you could write

  • "Someone help me I'm trapped in here!"
  • "Nuclear attack scenarios"
  • "You put this disk here to save your life, do not ignore"

Why would the capitalists let you vote away their wealth or power? What incentive do they have to do that?

That's defeatism.

No, it's a historical reality that voting is not an effective method to undo class society. Even the ancient greeks knew (before the Marxists rediscovered this and dealt their own death blows to representative government in the 1800s) that voting in an aristocracy is nothing more than theatre, because only the rich and entrenched families have the resources to fund campaigns, and get themselves elected (or appoint political puppets to do their bidding).

Political power is a reflex of economic power, and the rich will not allow you to use the system they control, to undo it.

single ant cannot destroy a tree. It's the work of countless ants that achieve that.

Many socialist / communist parties did just that, and they weren't deluded enough to try to accomplish it via voting in a system controlled by the ruling classes.

Jesus you have some downvote stalkers that really like Israel's genocide. I went ahead and banned them.
