Her husband's been outed as a pedophile, her legacy boils down to being a whiny sore loser who ran hard right from even Obama's politics and failed, and she personally has ensured no one with the last name clinton will ever hold a political office ever again in the country.
As far as modern consequences for rich people in the US, that's really the best case scenario. She's not poor enough to get Luigi'd, and she's not dark enough to get arrested.
Realistically the same fate is the best case scenario we have for what will happen to Trump, who will never see a jail cell, and the rest of his billionaire friends.
The solution to being in an plutocratic oligarchy turning into a fascist oligarchy is not to support the oligarch that super duper promises not to do bad things to you, just everyone else in the world.
Not really, no. I fully advocate and participate in Mutual aid groups across the US, with a focus on helping homeless people find alternative solutions to state welfare (given the instability of the US state) and while I'm currently in China due to needing money and educated marxists to help plan and coordinate stateless networks, I still help out those that need help. I've done more for Americans than the entirety of the Clinton Family, simply because I haven't killed any of them; but also through actual direct action and muttal aid.
While I'm sure playing party politics makes you feel the warm fuzzies inside, and I'm sure you're really accomplished yourself in the humanitarian outreach sphere given your attitude, I would advise learning more about how the US actually works, and how people in other oppressed countries have actually survived and thrived during and post repression; and more importantly how revolutions are actually made and performed and who makes them possible.
Pretending that changing the genocidal oligarch in charge will make a significant difference this late into oligarchy's natural fall into fascism is just pure cope and fantasy from those that feel powerless and are too uneducated about any other alternative. It's like rearranging furniture during a house fire or drying off your car during a thunderstorm. It makes you feel like you're doing something, while at best you're merely changing the victims in hopes you will no longer be one.
Recognizing that not one political candidate in either major party (I'll give you 2026 bernie but not 2016 bernie, when he was still advocating for genocide) in the last hundred years has been on the side of the people is not 'apathy,' is a call to action to dig in locally and teach people how to build and maintain communities of trust so that when the next wave of 'Fuck you' from the government happens, and it will happen red or blue (just ask the people of Palestine, Ohio or Flint, Michigan or anywhere along the Keystone XL pipeline) we can survive long enough to actually maybe inspire local change. Then federal change regardless of if the oligarchy lets us or if they remove the vote or if they just rig the vote again.
The reason fascism and oligarchy spreads so easily is because we do not trust our community, and by extension the rest of our countrymen. You do not trust random people in oklahoma doing the right thing, just as they distrust you as a blue state ninny doing the right thing. You both want the exact same thing deep down, you just have wildly differently brainwashed ideas of how to get there. And electing a Blue Suit does not fix that problem. Reaching out to them does. Connecting and helping the most vulnerable does.
Psychopathy is rare on purpose, they kill those outside their circle. So statistically Willy G. Flicker in BFE, Louisiana that voted for Trump ten times is not a psychopath, he simply has been led to believe the Red Suit is the way to get oligarchs out of his life so he can focus on raising his family and working his job peacefully while having plenty of food on the table. Just like Gilly F.W. Licker in Portland believes Blue Suit is the way to get oligarchs out of their life so they can focus on raising their family (cats) and working their job peacefully while having plenty of food on the tablet.
Neither are correct. The colour of the suit does not matter. The policy does. And light oligarchy is not better for you or anyone than heavy oligarchy, it just changes who suffers the most.
Be the actual change that's needed, get your local community focused on helping each other -- without a leader involved. And if you're all together and realize that can work, then start including nearby communities. And hey, you could call this ideology something, maybe communityism.
People can be verbose without AI. Once upon a time you 'people' were smart enough to understand that. I'm replying from the inbox but I assume you believe — (Compose + - - -) means AI. Which is actually, unironically something that only someone with a sub 40 IQ could think.
I hope you get better soon, or at least stop letting your disease out in public.
Or I type quickly and am on a five day holiday celebrated (at least the first day) by the majority of the world? Don't tell me you actually work on May 1st.
“Holiday,” “majority of the world”, “Currently in china”, doesn’t know Americans don’t get off may 1st. My spider senses are tingling. I am sure you are the pinnacle of American grassroots efforts.
