In reply to the discussion: We are the "evil empire" we warned everybody about [View all]geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)118. The OP was pure hatred of the United States. Allow me to bold all of the hate:
We are the "evil empire" we warned everybody about [View all]
We are the bad guys - WE are the "evil empire."
America is an authoritarian, murderous, short sighted, genocidal empire.
We always HAVE been an empire: our history is written in the blood of those who we killed for "civilization."
We are not a kinder gentler empire - there is no such thing. The empire is spending our kids' future, and making us the most hated people on Earth. And right now we deserve that designation. We ARE the bad guys. We ARE the evil empire. We ARE the boogeyman that we scare people into joining the army. There has never, ever been a just war. The kind of people who want to keep the empire are either (a) crypto-fascists or (b) people who never read the final chapter on the history of empires. Guess what? Empires fall, always. And when they do, it is not pretty. We need nothing more than a national guard.
The army needs to be abolished, period. There is no need for anything beyond a national guard at this point. "But what about the terrorists?" you might ask. They're already dwindled down to nothing, and the new recruits are all the result of our actions.
Empires fall, always. And when they do, nasty shit happens.
It is not a matter of if but when.
I think our genocidal government needs to come out of the closet as crypto-fascists. That includes all of the Feinstein DINOs, John Kerry Hypocrites and "hawks."

Quite honestly, this is more over the top in its hatred of the United States than anything bin Laden wrote. Literally.

You're going back 40 and 60 years to justify your point that our gov't is bad?

You are wrong: Hawaii, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phillipines were former US Colonies

It's easier to pound on a scapegoat than to come up with good arguments. That's the BOG fascination

It's weird, they treat BOG as not only pro-Obama cultists, but also rightwing jingoists

I think the "power brokers" that run the US are the "evil" element, which makes us all look bad.
