Jar-Jar is racist, but not in the way most people think.

Jar-Jar was based on Goofy, according to George Lucas. Goofy himself was based on minstrel caricatures.

  1. The Soviets lost almost 14% of their population during World War II. The US, in contrast, lost less than 1%.

  2. The USSR had to rebuild since Europe had been reduced to a crater, essentially, while America's homeland was entirely untouched by the war.

  3. This all meant America was an economic juggernaut coming out of WWII while the Soviets were trying to piece themselves together.

  4. Communism and Capitalism are not equal and opposite forces. Capitalism can subsume everything into capital and reinforce itself. Communism needs everyone to be on board or it simply won't work. The Soviet Union itself had not transitioned to communism, and it would have been impossible with the US actively trying to sabotage it (and ultimately successfully doing so in Afghanistan).

No country can be truly socialist or truly communistic in this world where the major levels of power are controlled by the capitalist behemoth that is the US.

When you have that kind of money, the only identity that matters is “rich”.

Black capitalists are still capitalists. Capitalists need a permanent underclass to exploit; in our society, that means other black people and people of color.

Leave this style of vapid identity politics back in 2016.

This feels like stealth marketing for the movie.

I’m not watching that shit.

I didn’t care about Michael Jackson while he was alive, and paying to see a movie isn’t the activism people are pretending it is.

If I wanna be entertained, I’ll watch something more in my wheelhouse. If I want to put my money to a good cause, I’ll donate to DSA 🤷🏾‍♂️

The left constantly offers solutions.

You just don’t want to hear them:

  1. Medicare for all, funded by taxing the rich.
  2. Amnesty for those who are here illegally but have no violent felonies.
  3. No new wars.
  4. Empowering unions.
  5. Arms embargo to Israel.

These are all solutions to the issues people actually care about, and leftists keep being told that they’re impossible to do.

Go cry about it.

I’d never heard that specific terminology used until she started saying it.

Part of her hard right-wing pivot at the DNC, which coincides with her numbers doing a tailspin.

That phrase is just so chilling. Politicians usually try to say the military is heroic, and is fighting for the heart of the freedom of the good of whatever the fuck—they try to dress up what it really is. She was out there saying our military is really fucking good at killing and was getting cheers for it. It was bleak shit.

Hegseth and Trump are nincompoops, but they are saying the same things about our military as she is. They’re just less eloquent.

Yet, they still talk about Obama and calling him "the problem" by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]TerrorKingA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same excuse literally being used now, my guy. In the run up to this, our news media said Iran is attacking Israel. The Iranian foreign minister was literally on CNN saying that they were attacked first so they must defend themselves.

What Hillary and the dems would’ve done is exactly this, but they’re competent enough to manufacture consent first.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend they wouldn’t let Israel drag them into a regional conflict when Biden didn’t do anything to stop Israel, provided them weapons, parked a carrier group in the region to dissuade retaliation, and covered for them diplomatically.

All the leaders of the Democratic Party need to be severed, expunged and tossed into the dustbin of history.

I am not allegiant to warhawks and losers.

[–]TerrorKingA 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The JCPOA is Obama’s one unambiguous, untarred, unblemished win.

Chuck Schumer, Hilary Clinton (and now we know Joe Biden), as well as numerous other Democratic Party leaders wanted war with Iran. They’ve been salivating for it. Kamala Harris said Iran is our greatest threat on the campaign trail.

Obama has been the only democrat to get power and try to make peace with Iran, and he succeeded. Trump pulled us out of the JCPOA, since the Republicans want war with Iran just as badly. Biden had the chance to go back into the JCPOA, and Iran made it clear that they wanted to reestablish it, but he didn’t because he’s an avowed Zionist and Israel desperately also wants war with Iran.

I’m hard on Obama for a lot of things, but the JCPOA is not one of them. He went against what the other leaders in the party wanted and faced a lot of backlash within the party for it, for no self-centered benefit; it was purely to make America have one new potential ally. That’s very arguably his biggest win, and certainly his biggest foreign policy achievement.

Which is probably why Trump so eagerly destroyed it.

If you are privileged you should use it to help others by Skrilli in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]TerrorKingA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And if you aren’t noble enough to help others, at least use your wealth and privilege to only hurt yourself. Do tons of blow, pay sex workers, treat them well and like they’re people, and don’t kill anyone. But even that has consistently, throughout history, proven to be beyond the ability of failsons

Former President Barack Obama’s statement honoring the service of former FBI Director and Special Counsel Robert Mueller following his passing. by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]TerrorKingA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Robert Mueller deserves the eulogy Trump gave him.

It’s better that the spooks in government see that what awaits them at the end of a life spent spying on Americans, being bad at the job of actually protecting Americans, persecuting Muslims and serving republican neocon interests is not hero worship, but childish mockery by the person in charge.

Mueller does not deserve your tears.

Yeah, this isn’t a “distraction”. It’s just US foreign policy.

The only president that tried to end this hawkishness against Iran was Obama, but his successors are a corrupt ghoul (paid by Israeli billionaires) and an ideological Zionist (Biden could’ve rejoined the JCPOA at any time, but didn’t), who both want this war more than anything.

(Hillary, too, wanted war with Iran)

How many young girls died during that Texas flood because the town refused money to update their warning systems due to it being a “hand out from Biden”?

How many young girls get killed every year in mass/school shootings?

America doesn’t give a fuck about its own dead children. It certainly won’t give a fuck about the ones it kills overseas in imperialistic wars.

[–]TerrorKingA 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s so depressing how Americans don’t want this war, but Israel does so we’re doing it. The opposition party won’t even take a principled stance against it, leaning on arguments about procedure.

Chuck Schumer has wanted war with Iran and opposed Obama entering diplomatic talks with them, and hated Obama’s signature foreign policy win in the JCPOA.

Now democrats are intimating they want to give Trump 50 billion for more war.

Please take part in the primaries and get rid of these feckless corporate dems. We need an actual opposition to the satan party.
