"this isn't who we are" is such a white response, yes it is, do you know actual american history or just the whitewashed version america is a nightmare country for people of color that temporarily pretended to be a liberal democracy for most of the 20th century but has since returned to its roots

Sorry but no, it is in fact notable that the US is doing something only very extremist regimes do. To willingly abandon “this isn’t who we are” as a response is to throw away a very powerful rhetorical weapon.

today on bsky: internet communists getting extremely mad that a politician has run up against a limit inherent to reformism within bourgeois democracy, proceeding then to blame the politician instead of doing anything which could build broader understanding of the ultimate insufficiency of reformism

imo , this is the best thing about the whole political situation in america . many liberal pundits have argued that giving the right exactly what they want will make people yearn for their liberalism . instead people now see that they move the same , one just hides their shame from god with a napkin

I think the worst thing about the trump regime is how obvious it makes that most liberals only disagree with the spectacle of fascism and not the violence fascism makes into a spectacle

there ARE ways to uninstall microsoft edge buttt you hit two problems: - some core system ui elements are "webby" in the same shit way as WinME and removing the edge rendering engine cripples the OS in ways you can't always use powershell to bypass - windows update packages can and will reinstall it

I’m really not sure about the gotcha being that the moral difference lies in the public spectacle and not in the violence conducted by the state. America was not better than any of these other states just because they didn’t broadcast their executions.
