REST IN PISS

bro is literally just gonna pull a Hitler and start new fights without finishing the old ones first 💀

I don’t think they’re afraid of Venezuela itself so much as massive domestic backlash to a war with Venezuela.

They have basically no casus belli, the government is obscenely unpopular, and there’s an enormous number of Spanish speakers in the country.

I don’t think they can pull off another Iraq and get away with it this time and maybe they’re afraid of the same.

putting reddit in charge of anything is a surefire way to ensure it fails spectacular so somehow i’m not worried

This was my thought.

If they had made this move after the Kirk Merking I’d’ve agreed it was out of fear but right now makes it seem much more like a preemptive move.

Like they’re expecting a violent response to something. Maybe a domestic action, maybe an attack on Venezuela, maybe both. Too early to tell but this reeks of taking precautions during the calm before a storm they intend to unleash.

Only a third? Incredible how stubbornly we refuse to give up on a system most of us haven’t even been participating in for over 50 years.

They know why. They’re biding time until they can figure out how to blame trans people.

I agree with the core of what you’re saying here but you shouldn’t confuse the terms “immigrant” with “settler”; they are distinct concepts - one being a traveler who permanently relocates to another place and the other being an invader who attacks another people, destroy them, and steals their land & resources for themselves. Using them interchangeably just ends up rebranding Right-wing anti-immigrant rhetoric with a Left-wing veneer.

The USA was founded by settlers, for the benefit of settlers, serving the interests of settlers, and is maintained today by a settler culture and settler institutions which are maintained to this very day by the settler ruling class. We are not a “nation of immigrants” as liberals are so fond of saying; immigrants have continuously been an underclass to exploit, not a ruling class that exploits.
