Alan Moore always hated capeshit and wrote Watchmen specifically as a deconstruction of it. imo “The Boys” is just Information Age Watchmen.

anyway here’s a picture of Mr. Moore himself back in the 80s, when he wrote Watchmen :marx-goth:

3rd world nations: Give us reparations for climate change

1st world nations: Actually it’s China’s fault because we leveraged our economic hegemony to make them manufacture all the stuff. :soypoint-1::some-controversy::soypoint-2:

I think on a long enough timeline it could be said Gorbachev killed more people than WW2. Because what he really did was he dismantled the nation best equipped to handle climate change, and to help others handle climate change. :doomjak:

Gorbachev said in an interview in Turkey in 2000 “My ambition was to liquidate Communism.” and establish a “Union of Independent Sovereign Republics” and to basically help America fight China. So he wanted a return of bourgeois nationalism, and a fully capitalist mode of production, but without dissolving the USSR, and with the addition of social democracy, which would rely on imperialism. It was a very naive in my opinion.

NO NO NO NO

NOT GOD BLESS AMERICA

GOD DAMN AMERICA

not only do we not guarantee staple foods for all, but supermarkets throw out millions of tons of (barely expired) foods every year and deliberately lock the dumpsters so the homeless can’t loot them. There are several foods, like plain yogurt, which have artificially low expiration dates and get thrown out long before they truly expire.

I’ll never forget when I worked for a supermarket when I was 20 and was made to throw out an entire garbage bag full of cookies that had been only slightly overcooked by the bakery. They tasted great and were NOT burned. I ate as many as I could on the way to the garbage disposal. Had I not been under the direct eye of management I would have found a way to sneak it to the homeless outside.

i remember trying to tell my lib grandma some of this stuff, and she constantly just tone policed me. “You should breathe more.” “Calm down.” “You’re talking too fast.” “You know you sound really angry right now.” “I can’t pay attention to what you’re saying when you get like this.”

This bizarre part of this is I was being very calm, slow, patient, and was taking care to police my own tone. I wasn’t actually worked up. It felt like a deliberate strategy of avoidance.

i find it tragic that the propaganda is so powerful people were fooled into dying for NATO and neo nazis.

every US president since the invention of fascism is a fascist, and every president before the invention of fascism was a proto-fascist

all the chaos occurring in the Ukraine is the fault of the United States. Putin is the fault of the United States. Zelensky is the fault of the United States. Azov Battalion is the fault of the United States. NATO is the fault of the United States. Anyone who does not take this line is either naive or is a liberal fascist.

You would not have a quasi-fascist like Putin running Russia if it weren’t for the fascist neoliberal looting of the former USSR, which was the greatest dream of the fascist Truman doctrine realized. The world as it exists today is the twitching corpse of the cold war, which was won by fascists. The world we live in was created by fascists, is run by fascists, and will be destroyed by fascists.

“Calf cramping?” Ask the liberal fascists about that.

Putin and Zelensky as leaders wouldn’t be in power if it weren’t for US-led NATO imperialism going back to 1949

Thank every president since Truman for being united in the consensus of walling off the global north and looting the global south
