We all know there’s no difference between them (specially if you live outside the US), but I’m actually impressed how little the Biden campaign is doing. All they really got is “Trump bad”, some bs about inflation being under control (if you exclude rent and food) and “protecting LGBT rights” (which I might have missed but Biden did literally nothing about?).

They should want to win to have their party implement the oligarchic plans and get that sweet sweet lobbying money right? Or are the elites actually preferring Trump right now?

      I do think if they really wanted to they could stop the genocide they could. They need a colonial outpost in the middle east, not an ethnonationalist genocidal state that undermines your credibility. They could have established comprodore Palistinians to promote peace and integrate them into the society for cheap labor. The CIA has levers to get the Licud party out of power if they really wanted to. This wretched settler state’s excessive methods undermine its own legitimacy. The terrible things the IDF does are like showing off how well built your house is by putting a jackhammer to your house’s foundation.

      I suspect is is more than just capitalism.

        yes, it’s capitalism + the vicious inhuman white supremacist western culture. blood for the blood god.

        you’re dealing with religious fanatics here. they have two gods, the line god and the blood god.

        you make regular blood sacrifices to both. the line god gives you money in return for blood. the blood god gives you nothing. but you still sacrifice to both.

          ah the sorts of people that totally ship Khorne and Slaanesh. WH40k factions are all fascist factions born of fascist ontology but it can describe various forms of real fascism.
