So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?

      We’ve gone from only representing rich white christians to only representing the rich lol, it’s not “essentialism” to recognize the verifiable fact that political decisions in this country are not made in accordance with the desires or best interests of voters, the US is a fucking oligarchy and has been since before either of us was born, read a fucking book

        Maybe understand what the meaning of the word decay is.

        The USA is 250 years old. Democracy has waned and and surged over those years. Ill give you the same prescription, read a fucking book.

          250 years ago we had no political rights for women or for men who didn’t own land and we had chattel slavery, now we have billionaires publicly finalizing the process of regulatory capture and the largest prison population on earth by a wide margin with explicit allowance in our constitution for prison slave labor. Not a democracy from the start, still not a democracy, probably never going to be a democracy seeing as how it’s fucking collapsing in front of us. In short, lol cope.

              All bullshit window dressing, fucking duh. Our votes don’t matter and they never have, you are a powerless peasant singing the praises of the empire, delusional and shameful.

                Woman suffrage -> bullshit window dressing

                Civil rights -> bullshit window dressing

                And I am the one who should be ashamed.

                Just like that you terminated anything that might provoke a useful thought.

                  Is women’s sufferage stopping our government from arbitrarily and unilaterally repealing their reproductive rights? No, no it isn’t, despite widespread support from a majority of US citizens that shit is happening anyway

                  Is “civil rights” doing anything to fix our drastically racially biased law enforcement and judicial system? Also no, still got the largest prison population on earth and it’s still disproportionately packed with ethnic minorities, even our own intelligence agencies have been warning of extensive infiltration of both by organized groups of white supremacists.

                  You are wrong, cope
