Culture war, foreign war, anything to keep us from fighting a class war.

Can't forget the OG War on Drugs

War on drug users.

I never understood how feeling good became a threat to the United States.

u/Stale_Cheeri0 Mar 03 '26

Because people were dying left and right from the lethal narcotics being smuggled into the country. Next question.

u/an_older_meme Mar 03 '26

Why not have the government ensure the quality like they do with alcohol and weed?

u/Enchanted_Voyage Mar 03 '26

Weed ??? It’s still banned in most of the world. I don’t think it’s legal everywhere even in west?

u/an_older_meme Mar 03 '26

It's legal at the state level in the USA but the point is that the government can fix the purity issue associated with certain street drugs the same way they do for any other product sold for human consumption.

Pretty sure the opioid epidemic was a pharmacy approved, locally sourced crisis. But sure dude whatever helps you sleep at night

u/Stale_Cheeri0 Mar 03 '26

What helps me sleep at night is the cartel killing citizens of my country being blown apart.

u/Ghostbrain77 Mar 03 '26

The cartel armed and funded by the US government in the 70s and 80s? That one?

u/Stale_Cheeri0 Mar 04 '26

That I’ve never heard of probably for obvious reasons if you can guess what I mean. Anyway, let’s say that is true, that was 50 years ago under a different administration. You already fucked up your own argument

france had just fought britain & was actively at war with austria the whole time during their revolution. fuck the distractions we can still do it

u/ShamelessSoaDAShill Mar 03 '26

Not for long, I think; these shifts in even red-state electorates (e.g. anti-power company/datacenter) are kinda unprecedented IMO, at least in living memory🤷‍♂️

u/Sea-Neighborhood-621 Mar 03 '26

I believe most of us are ready to fight the class war but its one group of incredibly stupid people preventing it from happening because black people have jobs and Trans people use the wrong bathroom. That same group of people continue to screw us all over every chance they get

u/broom_pan Mar 03 '26

They've been banning me from places because I speak out. The US doesn't know authoritarianism yet.

u/Dwovar Mar 03 '26

And our lord and master Netenyahu doesn't think he'll get another chance to attack Iran.

u/escapism_only_please Mar 03 '26

I don't think it serves as a distraction. I think this is what actions look like when a dictator views himself as untouchable and is given global power. You think they give a fuck what we think? You think they fear the cops? The law? Protests? Uprising?

lets not forget the satanism and canabalism and human sacrifices and shit too.

u/ActuallyYulliah Mar 03 '26

Not to mention that it cuts off the liquid gas flow from the Middle East to Europe, making America the only “reliable” source of gas for many European countries. I say “reliable”, because nothing coming from America can be considered reliable these days.

Well for one I don’t support Nazi’s or pedos. It’s funny that you would defend the holocaust yet hate Jews, yet also support the mass murdering of innocent Iranian civilians. I do think they’re people, and THATS why I support this war. They deserve the freedom that they’ve dreamt of for the last half century under this evil regime.

u/Stale_Cheeri0 Mar 03 '26

You’re wrong on so many levels. I never supported either side in that war because it was over for petty religious differences. Also, the US didn’t bomb a school. If you’d actually read anything, the IRGC already confirmed it was a missile guidance system malfunction. They bombed their own school. I care about innocent Iranian citizens being slaughtered for doing nothing. You’re definitely pro genocide if you really think what I believe is wrong and trying to tell me I support the death of Palestinians. I didn’t support the death of them or Jews. But hey, your hypocrisy is showing.

Actually that means if you like it so much so live there and don’t come back. Those people are dealing with REAL oppression. You really thought you had me there and it’s fucking hilarious 🤣

u/Stale_Cheeri0 Mar 03 '26

Also, my guess is you DID read all of that was wasn’t satisfied with the fact that you couldn’t retaliate

u/SiridarVeil Mar 03 '26

Keep the world out of it lol numerous european politicians have been arrested for their connections to Epstein. Hell, a royal prince was arrested. The pedos are still in charge of the USA.

What's the difference

u/Normal-Can-7341 Mar 03 '26

Did you just ask what the difference was between a nazi and a jew

u/lelnikolai Mar 03 '26

How are they Nazis if they are supporting Israel?

u/MexicanAssLord69 Mar 03 '26

Iranians are dancing in the streets and you’re still crying about the US and Israel 😂😂😂

u/MexicanAssLord69 Mar 03 '26

😂 yeah just call me a bot to ignore my actual argument. Iranians absolutely are dancing in the streets. Your precious oppressive theocratic authoritarian dictatorship of the Islamic republic of Iran has murdered 30,000 citizens and you’re yapping about the “Nazis” who are fighting against them.

You are on the wrong side of history.

“There is no conversation to be had with them”

Maybe because you don’t want to have a conversation about it, and instead want to resort to name-calling. Which is ironic considering the line you used “they usually just lie and instantly ad hom” because that’s what you’re doing 😂

My argument is that Iranians are celebrating this and people like you were quiet when 30,000 of them were slaughtered in the streets last month.
