Do these fucking useless crakkkers ever consider that there is enough war, genocide and oppression going on? Capitalism is already on the way out, an no matter how many more F-35 submarines the U.S. creates, China and Russia now have the technological, material and supply chain upper hand.

Lol, you just assumed they care about material reality or other humans!

The death and destruction they reap is not real to them because they conveniently never have to see it or have reality put their beliefs to question.

Honestly? At this point I fully believe that the only way humanity can move past this wretched age, is for the west and particularly the US to eventually get a taste of its own medicine, and then hopefully be suppressed forevermore. There can be no remotely peaceful, equitable coexistence so long as the legion of white supremacists still exists, IMO- it's just a matter of when (or if the west can be de-fanged and neutered, and if things can be delayed until the west crumbles of from its own internal contradictions).

I'm an atheist and ex-Catholic- but if not, I'd say that the US is undeniably the antichrist- when Iran calls AmeriKKKa "satan," or when people from the Caribbean call it "Babylon," they're if anything understating it. Not because of the LGBT rights, etc (if anything those are some of the brief glimpses of humanity in the west) but because of their political systems and ideology- the US is the enemy of humanity in my POV, if there is a "great filter" - for humanity, IMO it's the imperialist west.
