WEEK 31: Students outside Columbia university passing food and water through the gates to the protesters. Collective punishment going on in the middle of New York City.
@fkamiah17 OK, Wow. It seems that starving your opposition is a tactic Israel and the USA have in common.
Why is there no open revolution in the streets in the USA!?
Oh, right. Because Americans, by and large, are just fine with this, as long as they can have the latest gadget in their hands to violate their privacy and rot their mind.
@zdl That's pretty much it, yeah 😡
From what I'm hearing, it got a whole lot worse last night but I've not had a chance to check my feed yet. Updates incoming!
@angiebaby@fkamiah17 Well, Biden is responsible for one of the worst disenfranchisement generators (the crime bill of '94) in US history. He's a Democrat. Obama ramped up random drone strikes on non-white peoples the world over. He's Democrat and, ironically, black. Clinton voted for the war on Iraq, voted to increase domestic surveillance, and voted to deregulate Wall Street. She's a Democrat.
Like I said elsewhere: in any sane nation, the Democrats are centre-right, not left.
@zdl@angiebaby And they (much like the Labour party here) aren't really "centre" anything now. They're right, and the GOP/Tories are hard right/fascist.
The US has two major parties, the far right and the further right. When I was a child, adults compared them to our two right wing minority parties, and both US parties have been sliding further right since then.
