I can't decide between a cancerous growth or a ball of wriggling intestinal parasites - I guess it'll have to be the former since this is insulting to intestinal parasites.

they were ordered to not destroy them.

Most of the Afghanistan vets who I've heard talk about this doesn't seem to place much importance on that distinction.

When I used to call capitalism and colonialism rapacious I got a lot of finger-wagging and handwringing from people calling themselves leftists... so I guess this means progress?

Maybe in five years' time we could get leftists to actually start referring to capitalists as parasites.

There is no response extreme enough when it comes to this topic.

You feel me?

Sure thing... but two things.

First, thanks to ICE, the Trump regime now knows how to disappear people without getting stuck on any legal or institutional obstacles. Two, thanks to ICE (again), they now know exactly what reaction (or, rather, lack of it) to expect from the wider US public and/or media when they do.

It's one thing to get hold of the hammer, it's another to figure out how to turn every problem into a nail - and I'd say they have now managed both.

That might be why this feels... different.

I always thought they put them there because without them there'd literally be nothing about the whole affair worth watching.

A lot of people are pretending that this is a nothingburger, but I'm afraid it's probably not - they are manufacturing consent for a crackdown.

Nah. Fuck liberalism.

I consider myself a liberal, and i have no problems with nazis dying.

Careful... you might get yourself kicked out of the liberal club with that attitude.

Piss off, liberal - this is not a safe space for you right-wingers, okay?

break up unity

Ooooh... when somebody starts whinging about "left unity" I smell liberal... is that what you are?

You can't have fascism without liberalism. The hand that dangles the carrot cannot be seen to also wield the stick.
