    Republicans and Democrats are both perfectly ok with state violence so long as it’s against brown people, and preferably overseas. How many millions have died from lack of access to affordable health care and an almost non-existent social safety net in the US over the past century? But those aren’t counted as ideological deaths for some reason? If you think that choosing either of the two main parties which both have an official policy of supporting foreign genocides is the lesser evil somehow, you’ve been duped. America has killed more people in wars in the past 20 years than nearly any other state, except perhaps for Russia. You’re just bent out of shape because that state violence has been turned on the domestic population for once. Anything has got to be better than the status quo.

      This has nothing to do with anything that I said. Please try to stay on topic and keep your strawmen in your own fields.

      If you have to make up a bunch of bullshit about me to attack my position then you’re not attacking my position.

      Spoken like a true child of privilege without any imagination - or understanding of conditions outside of your cozy status quo, ironically.
