misandry (geopolitics edition)
beating a dead horse here but its still weird how one country in north america oversaw the fascist takeover of multiple countries in south america and having any kind of problem with this is called anti-americanism. like that's all america bro there's a lot of america it doesn't stop at texas

“My feminism has nothing to do with men. It is not defined as “equality for all genders”. It isn’t even about equality. I don’t want to be equal with men because I don’t like or want this patriarchy men have. My feminism is about liberation for all women, and an end of the oppression of all women, including women of color, immigrants, lesbians, and trans women. It is about equity- doing what is necessary to ensure everyone has a quality standard of life, has their human rights respected, and is free from oppression. I am not into definitions of feminism that are aimed at making feminism appear non-threatening to men. It IS threatening to them, and it should be.”

LOVE this definition of feminism!

Manifesting.
The Republicans in the late 90’s called Clinton a war monger for his operations in Kosovo and capitalized on his illegal strikes in Iraq. They then elect W Bush who gets us into the 2 longest wars in our history, one on a completely lie, and violated international law regularly with his torture program and indefinite detention centers.
Obama said Bush’s wars were appalling and misguided, ran as anti-war, and said he would end the wars. He was elected and then escalated them then brought the total from 2 wars to 7 and instituted the drone program which has killed civilians and US citizens.
Trump said Obama’s unapproved wars and strikes in Syria were illegal and too costly and ran as a non-interventionist. Since then he’s added nothing but Generals and Warhawks like John Bolton to his cabinet and now he’s increacing bombing of civilians Syria and ramping up rhetoric with North Korea.
They all do this. They always do this. The US has never not been at war. The guy out of power always criticizes and then when they seize power they say We’ve Always Been At War With Eastasia.
Remembering this post now that the guy who somehow was able to run as the “no war candidate” is trying to provoke multiple wars in Venezuela, Nigeria, Syria, and Iran all at the same time
I wrote this literally minutes before seeing Trump bombed Venezuela
It’s not about “getting the right person into the White House”.
It’s about what the job of the President actually is, regardless of campaign promises. The job is protecting the status quo which has brought you this singular position of power.
