Political Memes

This is America, we're just finally going full "mask off."

We're a disgusting disgrace of a country, chock full of Nazis, Nazi apologists, fascist propagandists, and fascist billionaires. I'd argue we never really were anything different, we just had a decent streak of cowards running the show that just wanted to satisfy endless greed without rocking the boat too much. The current bunch relish the chaos, hatred, neck stomping and 40% of the population are absolutely here for it and want more.

It's only downhill from here. :(

Let's not jump the gun on any rumors yet. Police, for what that's worth, said there was no evidence of assault on Trey Reed's body, though his family is rightfully seeking an independent autopsy report. And apparently the second hanging body was a 36-year-old white man.

Is the timing suspicious? Absolutely. Are the cops being cagey about it? Even if it's still an ongoing investigation, yes. Although it is Mississippi. We're not exactly expecting excellence from them.

My point being that we're getting information at a slow trickle and we'll have to fucking hound the media to keep these stories in the news cycle, so it's going to be a good while before we have any idea what happened. Especially with all hands on deck dedicated to making sure everyone has a government-approved reaction to the somehow more important murder.

Yes, this is the world that happens when you let fascists take over.

We should have been uniting in the streets on day-one, instead of retreating to Lemmy, to discord, to reddit subcommunities to feel smug and argue with each other over which brand of socialism is better.

I hate the people who have done this to my country. But I am also livid at the lazy fucks who thought one march with a sign was going to change anything, or worse, the ones who stayed inside and played video games and said "nothing ever happens."

You all hold a piece of accountability here. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.

We are cooked as a country. I didn't have ww3 on my list but here we go.
