1. Not having any coherent politics to start with, which means they had to grasp for something when they realized juvenile shit like libertarianism falls apart under the slightest pressure; and
2. Not giving a shit about poor people.

I’d have to re-watch it, but I thought the protagonist didn’t so much execute the woman sniper so much as he put her out of her misery. As I recall, she was badly wounded and asking for one of them to shoot her. I don’t have a good take on what that scene is supposed to communicate, but I don’t think the best reading is the protagonist finally becoming a mindless killing machine/“real soldier.”

Changing perceptions about socialist states has to come from the bottom up, not the top down.

Look at how Bernie’s entirely truthful, extremely moderate statements on Cuba’s healthcare and education programs was wielded against him. That’s what happens when political leaders try to change the tune about socialist states in a country that’s been strongly anti-communist for most of the last century. We have to have those conversations on the ground first.

He is also associated with expansion of government to act as economic planner and mediator-manager of capital and labor in a wartime situation.

Wilson was arguably the first liberal internationalist

Creating ruling institutions rather than relying on and solidifying one’s personal ruling power is also very different from fascism.

i literally do not give a fuck what is offensive

eat my entire ass

fuck off

Civility at the expense of accomplishing something real is bullshit, but man, you’re not going to get very far with very many people if you’re just an outright asshole.

seeing you get all worked up about such a benign topic

This ain’t it

Wishing bad things happen to bad people is OK

This might upset all you libs in here, but when bad things happen to bad people, some might call that justice.

Real “I was researching this story for a year and he just…tweeted it out” energy

So the plan is to slice up your country knowing that a civil war is likely in the breakaway state? This is getting better and better.

Of Christian extremists in Alabama??

Occupying territories which do not want to be occupied is imperialism.

Is the U.S. occupying Mississippi and Alabama?

The American South is a region filled with religious extremists, some of whom have already radicalized to the point of committing acts of terrorism. Should we make it its own country and fund their schools to boot? Is that likely to improve the situation or make it worse?

Could China’s approach be done better? Almost certainly. Is it the most humane response to extremism we’ve seen so far? That’s for you to decide.
