I always wanted American Hegemony to end. No one country should have that much influence. We were abusing our status as a leader for a long time, anyways. I just didn’t want it to end like this.

Also, food isn’t the only way to get people to turn to violence. Violence against a population, collective punishment, and unnecessarily dangerous work conditions work as well. The American Revolution turned from a political squabble to a military one when the British heavily occupied Boston as punishment. Labor strikes used to be violent, mainly out of necessity.

I often think of this:

[White people’s] job at that protest, what they are there to do, is to do everything they can in their power to put their bodies between the bodies of black people and police. They should know if they’re there that they have the privilege of at least knowing that there will be more action taken if they die than if a black person does.

Everyone is a victim under fascism, but some people are still more vulnerable than others. If Trump decided to take out a peaceful protester that looked like me this early, it would be much harder to sweep under the rug. I find some comfort in realizing that my disappearance wouldn’t be so easily pulled off.

What are you guys talking about?

Very top. Sometimes Trumpers think I’m one of them. Very low chance they’re coming after me at this stage. My mom is still scared though.

I haven’t heard anything about people buying drones. The gun ranges have been packed though.

Democrats and Republicans alike banded against Luigi. It’s Citizens United talking.

Oligarchs destroy everything they touch.

This happened like a month ago. This isn’t new. The speech still slaps though.

It’s a perversion of Christianity.

God can commit genocide and torture because His actions are beyond human understanding. God is the creator of Goodness, so every action he does is Good by design. I personally view God only as Good because he is powerful, but I view Jesus as Good in a more genuine and human way.

The powerful like to take the parts of religion that allow them to live in a simplified world. A world in which they are Good, like God, not by action but by power and nature.

They forget that sinning applies to the powerful, just like it applies to the weak. Everyone deserves to be forgiven in Christianity, but only after you’ve paid for your sins. People like the “being forgiven” part, but not begging for forgiveness in a brown sack covered in ashes part.

They need an excuse to cover up their real reason: that they think peasants have a duty to breed for the state.

Adding to this, PunkRockSportsFan ignores that religion has been used to end violence. Christianity was a huge part in the US abolitionist movement.
