      Aren’t they? The blues and the browns, they all maintained this system, kept Guantanamo camp running, engorged themselves on plunder while sowing chaos around the world. The likes of desantis simply say openly what they all say behind closed doors

            His title was of a human rights lawyer to make sure the conditions in gitmo were humane, and up to international law standards. He got people to tell him which torture methods were the most painful, then instead of getting them eliminated he told the torturers to escalate certain methods. He took pleasure in their pain. Previously, force feeding was done only lightly and relatively not painfully (through injection through nose), after Desantis, the syringes for force feeding were sharp and it was done more roughly, and people were left with nose bleeds. I could go on, It was worse with other methods of torture. If you want more information check out the podcasts the Eyes Left podcast made on it.

    The union associated with my org just ended up on a Chinese newspaper, we are famous omg

    (context: in the 26th of may that particular union, about a million strong, per Wikipedia, launched a general strike. And that has piqued the interest of CCTVnews)

      Are you actually a member of the CPUSA? Why does the party endorse Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden?

    I am currently following from close the development of an allegation of sexually predatory behaviour from a big-name musician in the metal industry. Reading accounts of the disgusting things this millionaire has been doing to working-class women with complete impunity for years by using his fortune and fame has only strengthened my wishes to see this rotten system overthrown and all these people held accountable in the most severe of ways.

          Fucking hell, I was just listening to Amerika an hour ago and it inspired me to reflect on how the Fascists once tried to Germanize the world, failing where the U.S. succeeded.

          I was a little reluctant to mention the inspiration because I was worried that that would have made others here berate me (I feel like I read somewhere that there were ties between Rammstein and neofascism, but I could be misremembering). Now that I know that Till Lindemann is basically a heavy metal Michael Jackson I’ll be careful to mention the inspiration critically.

            I do not know where is it that you heard about Rammstein’s ties with fascism, but if it was in this page, chances are it may have been from me.

            That being said, I do not think that phenomenon you describe is a novelty to the 20th century. I personally think Britain has been to this day the one with most success at it - As well as the most destructive.
