They’re the heel of the boot.
Imagine what they would have done if she was also black.
She should get a turn on piggy with a brick. It’s only fair.
2A. Use it.
Nah, Americans are too chicken to put their life on line for betterment of society.
They will gladly commit war crimes outside America though.
They’re too cynical, I think.
Yankees do not believe society can ever get better; they do believe they’ll get free healthcare if they do war crimes.
They’ll put their lives on the line for their own self interest because that’s the only thing they believe in.
Absolutely yes with the self interest, my own journey unfortunately had to begin from there, with the realization that a better world for everyone meant a better world for me. As capitalism continues to decline, it’s only going to get easier for us to appeal to people’s self interest. We just gotta build something we can point to. Doesn’t have to be huge, just any local structure we build to make life easier. It sucks that the level of consciousness here is generally so low, but it’s also just true that people are more receptive to something when they see tangible benefit from it.
Right, but that’s when the cynicism comes in: they do not believe a better world is possible, so they just want to get their bag.
It’s why a bunch of Trots became neocons. They decided revolution was impossible.
I think the cynicism, like any tendency, is both learned and dependent on circumstance to continually reinforce. Like what is cynicism if not a deep, fear-based belief that the person ia not capable of enacting meaningful change, and it’s better to take actions that will be rewarded and not punished under whatever power structure they currently exist in? That tendency towards compliance-dressed-as-cleverness can be worked with, we’re not gonna get them on board immediately but there will be a stage where even the cynical calculus will favor leaving a sinking ship.
I’m not sure they’ll try to leave the sinking ship until they’re already swimming, y’know? People who learned that resistance is futile over the course of US hegemony are not going to easily unlearn it. I think it’s happening among young people because they don’t have as many memories of the US being unstoppable. In fact, for people born after 9/11, the US has rarely won.
But for people who remember the US winning the Cold War, it’s going to take a lot more to make them unlearn their cynicism.
Irving Kristol was never a communist. He was never genuine. He always worked for the CIA.
Trots=neocons is not a real thing, never was. They just had a lot of infiltrators.
Irving Kristol isn’t the only one? Obviously not every single Trot became a neocon, but many did, and there’s a reason for it: cynicism. Further, a Trot working for the CIA itself is actually just an extension of the same cynicism. It’s all growing from the same learned helplessness and lack of revolutionary optimism: if revolution is impossible, all you can do is get your bag.
This is not exclusive to Trots, of course. Plenty of young people with revolutionary optimism “grow up” to become cynical older adults, and that’s not because they’re chicken. They simply become convinced there’s no hope.
My statement remains the same.
no, he’s right.
I used a different word that accurately describes them but that got me bannedI mean, “cynical” is the better word to use here.
They’re not cowardly, they’re totally willing to fight and die and do all sorts of crimes. They’re just hopeless and jaded and selfish.
So: cynical.
Show me how they’re " totally willing to fight".
We’re talking about ‘americans’ in general. They bend over like a twig.
Even if you mean their army which I think you might imply when you say “do all sorts of (war) crimes” then it’s wrong.
They also never ‘fight’.
What they call war is when they cowardly bomb defenseless brown people from a distance and let their local proxies/traitors do the dangerous stuff.So no, coward is accurate, they don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Only ridicule and loathing.Come to the USA and start saying this in public. See how unwilling to fight you people are.
Name calling on the internet doesn’t male you tough, kid.
LOL
not setting foot in that banana republic.
I’m European, I’ve been to many protests and do my part.
Like plenty now all over Europe that you can see on the news.
12 year olds have more balls than you all you pussies together.
IDC if you are butthurt about ‘name calling’.
It’s simply an accurate description.
They’re willing to join up with their military and die, and they’re constantly shooting each other too.
They’re obviously an incredibly violent and vile people, they just don’t fight for the right things because they’re cynical.
The government gives out socialism during and after military service. Free healthcare. Housing vouchers. Completely subsidized education. Career guidance.
There is a reason System of a Down asks “why do they always send the poor?” in BYOB. The poor are who join the military. They are enticed by the socialism the govt provides and whatever else the military recruiter sold them on.
join up with their military and die
die from a heart attack from being fat or a car accident?
Almost none get killed in combat, because THEY DON’T DO COMBAT.they are not cynical, they are cowards, the end
Abusers from top to bottom.
For a country that prides itself of being “brave”, there’s just too few of them fighting back.
Like, look at these ladies being forced out for protesting for a valid reason and everyone else just thinks its just another day in the USA.
I’m not an ACAB guy, but that man needs a few years in prison to work out his issues.
What brought you to not being ACAB? I’m curious what you think about not just him but the other police next to him that chose to not restrain him after he assulted her.
I’ve been involved with enough investigations of Bad Cops ( and there are a a LOT of them) to recognize the many other cops (and there are sadly fewer of them) who are honorable and decent enough to help bring the uniformed criminals to justice – at huge risk to their own safety and wellbeing.
Then you haven’t learned enough.
The only thing that will happen in a few years is you becoming an ACAB guy.
I’m a law and order guy. The problem is that cops in capitalist societies only protect and serve the rich and their property.
All Capitalist Cops Are Bastards ACCAB
He needs to spend the rest of his life there
National Guardsmen who gunned down students in 1970 were never punished in any way.
I can’t wait for people to start deleting these pigs in the street
Piggy tripped on the railing and took it out on her
That guy will likely lose his job. It’s possible charges will be brought against him, although that’s less likely. That sheriff’s office will definitely be sued and they will likely have either a hefty judgement against them or a settlement. And that’s why this cop will likely lose his job. Not necessarily because they think what he did was wrong, but because he’s too much of a financial liability.
Edit: then again it is Utah, so we’ll see. But regardless she should sue. She should send the video to the civil rights lawyer too.
And there should be more consequences than simply losing his job.
Yeah. Getting a pension doesn’t seem fair. Also what about his coworkers who were like: yeah that’s just dale.
That guy will likely lose his job.
That guy will get promoted.
And people just watched and did nothing as that officer committed felony assault.
What, you want people to get shot so she can get arrested anyway? Unless the whole crowd moves on them, they’re gonna shoot anyone who tries it
While you would have… what?

Americans do have guns and the cops are not invincible. Shout out to Elias Rodriguez and Luigi Mangione.
“Stop resisting!”
I had to watch it multiple times because it looked like he tripped and then just went with it as a takedown. It was just so out of nowhere. What a fucking psycho.
