Bumbling trigger happy halfwit goons are a feature, not a bug. The police, as an organization, exist to guard private property not human life. They are supposed to be a source of social terror and stochastic violence. They are supposed to horrify people they patrol, not help them.

A lot of people I know have a strict “Never call the police” personal policy for reasons adjacent to this.

The Super Adventure Club episode exploded into my brain halfway through One Battle After Another when they drop “The Christmas Adventurers Club” on me like a nuclear warhead.

The Adam Friedland Show hitting new levels of Super Sayan off this shit.

I could understand 2016.

Donald Trump placed advertisements in several prominent newspapers, including Newsday, in 1989 calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty so that the Central Park Five could be executed for their alleged crimes.

SNL just did a skit on this.

We already have a ton of names. Nobody is getting burned.

So he’s going to win the Nobel?

Okay, but they’re going to depose him, so that’ll balance the scales.

Hell, Obama let the Bush crime family walk back in '09. Clinton turned a blind eye to Reagan/Bush. Carter refused to prosecute Nixon.

Etc, etc.

If after all of that they aren’t calling for a civil war

I’m trying to imagine how turning the current situation into a shooting war improves things.

Ironic, given how we treated upstart labor movements during the occupation.

American liberals spent YEARS fighting anyone who suggested racism was still alive in america.

The standard line was that racism was a Southern trait, while Northern and Western liberals had somehow expunged themselves of the habit. At the same time, you had liberals from the Carter era onward bemoaning failures within the African American and Latin American communities to integrate properly. It was always the minority’s fault for failing to conform. It was never racism among liberals that widened the divide.

Even to this day they won’t attribute racism in explaining ice’s actions. In fact most didn’t care how many people died at ice’s hands until white people got shot in the face.

You can run this all the way back to the LA Riots, easily enough. Nevermind the anti-Muslim racism of the post-9/11 era, the Obama-era backlash to civil rights movements during Occupy and then again during BLM. It’s always and forever the minority’s fault for objecting to oppression. People of Color are never sufficiently civil. They don’t respect the norms. They want special favors. They can’t be trusted to argue in good faith. They’ve got dual loyalties. They’re not real Americans.

Even when you have Obama or Harris on the fucking ballot, you need them or their proxies effectively apologizing for their blackness and denouncing anyone of color who doesn’t agree with their neoliberal politics.

In summary, americans, and yes american liberals are deeply racist, selfish and uneducated people.

I don’t think they’re uneducated. All too often, I’ve seen racism taught - implicitly or explicitly - as justification for the modern social order. They’re educated in bigotry. They’re trained to think like this.

TIL, my grandparents were white.

Imagine a T.Rex but its a giant parrot with teeth instead.

Liberals loved to insist the End of America is near whenever the nation’s mask slips far enough to reveal it’s true face.

Dirty truth is that the USA will keep on trucking, right over millions more people. Only difference will be that they’re our neighbors this time, rather than colonized peoples on the other end of the Earth.

I believe it was the British that burned DC down

I’m sure the Democrats will have a unified and muscular response that puts the best interests of their constituents first.

I mean, there’s RedNote, which has a much larger audience and absolutely is controlled by the Chinese government.

The problem with these smaller services is that there’s very little content, relatively speaking. Outsiders want to know about the genocide but they don’t want it to be their exclusive fixation.
