When it comes to leadership who view an ongoing genocide overseas with blase tacit complicity, we are indeed damned if we do AND damned if we don't.

If we are to be damned no matter what we do, though, it then becomes a question of what qualities our inevitable damnation should possess.

Shall we be damned with bog standard milquetoast business as usual liberalism that doesn't do enough to actually help anything get better and continues to naively play nice with the predators, parasites, and scavengers of the big business elite class?

OR

Shall we be damned with concentration camps on American soil rounding up anyone the republican party deems to be "undesirable" and "making them go away" (any american who uses their free speech "the wrong way" being labeled a domestic terrorist 'enemy alien', nevermind the economy tanking, women being held hostage by their uteri and dying frequent preventable maternal deaths because a stillborn fetus is valued more highly than her life, prices soaring due to tariffs making imported goods nonviable, etc) ON TOP OF all the shit that's wrong with liberalism with regard to big business pandering (except only the businesses owned by republican-party-approved individuals)?

the idea that people can't tell the difference makes my fucking blood boil
