              At this point I don’t consider gringos collateral. It’s your fucking country doing stuff like Operation Phoenix, Gladio, Condor, and countless other black ops and coups and the systematic starvation of the global south, and y’all only care about what they’ll do for you, in the singular.

              I’m sorry for the children in the US and the immigrants/indigenous, the rest of y’all have had plenty of time to straighten things out and it’s always this “vote blue you fuckin traitorous pleb” shit. I see friends in the PSL working their ass off and getting chewed out by the DNC primary revolutionaries. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to resent y’all giving us Monopoly money (that you can only spend in the company store US treasury) in exchange for making all your shit and growing most of your food at gunpoint while you argue about whether Bezos should get all of it or if you should take some from him.

                That’s the thing though. The MIC hawks that do all the evil shit will be just fine, they’ve got money and connections. Most of their supporters will be fine for a good while, they’re the right color. The collateral damage is primarily going to be the children, the working class, the immigrants getting sent off to camps.

                The people most responsible for the evil done by this country will be the last ones to suffer, if they’re not long dead by the time “find out” comes home to roost. The bulk of the suffering will be the people who hate it as much as you.

      Who keeps overthrowing the governments in the Global South and funding proxy wars there which results in people requiring that aid?

      Now crunch the numbers but tally the death toll of every coup USAID helps get going, every land and agricultural reform that doesn’t get off the ground because USAID threatens to pull out, all the deaths from having to obey asinine IP laws with regards to medicine that is priced to gouge US patients, let alone global south ones (again with USAID threatening to pull out)
