I don't see anywhere where I whined about anything, but nice to see that you get triggered over anybody not having a completely delusional anti-US take.
I'm just calling it how I see it, if your bitch ass thinks I'm whining maybe you should bone up on your f'n reading comprehension skills.
Lol, you are pretty naive if you think it's that at all.
Barbecue is literally named for cooking and eating his enemies, do you actually think any respectable country wants to play nice with that kind of guy? Also the guy is completely out to gain power, that's it, and if the US was willing to deal with him in any positive way he would be singing their praises, because again, it's not about revolution, this guy is a gangster, he just wants power and control, and legitimacy from the US would mean he's going to win.
Also the US has been largely hands off with Haiti for the last twenty years, the US/Haiti relationship is almost as complicated as Israel and Palestine, especially when Haitians make up such a large demographic in the US. Ever since Obama's administration and the Red Cross scandal US policy towards Haiti has mostly been hands off, which Trump's administration took drastically further, since Trump's foreign policy is extremely isolationist, plus all of Trump's racist and classist bullshit.
The only Americans causing problems down there rn are criminal gun runners who are working with the criminal element of Haiti, namely Barbecue's people, to take over the country, illegally and absolutely not democratic. Those criminal Americans should be arrested and tried ASAP.
First of all the "everything I don't like is communist/socialist" were never ridiculed for their viewpoint, once Russia collapsed and China went mostly capitalist the communist rhetoric mostly dried up, but the anti socialist rhetoric remained and still remains, as does the much less talked about red-scare rhetoric, especially after a bunch of supposed "Antifa" dingbats allowed themselves to be interviewed on Fox News and admitted to being Communist/Anarchist, in the same way that the antiwork movement got derailed by that idiotic moderator going on Fox news.
Secondly the "everything I don't like is communist/socialist" crowd is the "everything I don't like is woke" crowd, if we had a Venn diagram about this is would be like a 90% overlap, same type of people, same types of mindsets, both with white Christian fundamentalism at it's root, and if you dig a little deeper you'll find that under that those roots are built right on top of Confederate ideals and white supremacy.
Barbecue is the closest they've been to Papa Doc's reign, he supposedly believes in similar stuff, has similar narcissistic traits, and is absolutely as corrupt as they were, so if that's what they want that's kinda what they're getting.
It all comes down to that risk/reward calculation, for folks like us there's too much risk and not enough reward, especially if we maintain our sense of ethics and morality, but for those who are okay with being corrupt scumbags there's far more reward than risk, and to be fair, those people are the types that generally don't pay attention to the risks in any scenario.
Sure one can say a healthy progressive country should be reward enough, but regardless of how selfless we may think we are we as a species always operates from a self-centered perspective, and ultimately it still comes down to "what's in it for me", but this is why devoted anti-corruption folks like Bernie Sanders are the real MVPs, because they've managed to push that self-centeredness into the back of their minds in order to work for the betterment of the rest of us while eschewing the rewards, and these people should be praised and protected.
While "What we need is for people like me to be in office" smacks of the "I alone can fix it" fallacy, I tend to share exactly the same sentiments. I definitely think I'm impartial enough to represent all of my would be constituents. However it's such a hassle to get involved, just the scrutinization alone is what keeps me away. My wife is a paranoid schizophrenic military rape victim, and running for public office would just make her life so much more unbearable, and I definitely wouldn't want to do that to her. Also as a pot smoker I'm already disinclined to expose my privacy, because not only will I be judged for my harmless vice, but also judged for my moral character based on my vice, and I'd be legally exposed if I've left my enemies a way to get around the protection of my medical marijuana license.
I also realize saying all of this is kinda weird since the Right wingers have straight up pedos, rapists, fraudsters, and all kinds of white collar criminals running for office while seemingly flaunting their crimes like it's a positive part of their resume, because their end goal is a lawless America, but only for the ~~white~~ right people.
Hey MAGA Christians, this is what antichrist shit looks like, maybe it's time to realize you're backing the wrong golden calf.
Are you kidding me? They'll make conspiracies about absolutely anything, and nothing at all.
I use to browse r/Conspiracytheories once in a while to see what the echo chamber was up to, and it was always a bunch of idiots throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
It's amazing how many legit criminals get into public office or important civil service positions, like county coroner, and how their motivations are always so transparent. We need more ways to prevent these types of predators from attaining office.
Yeah but giving stuff away for free doesn't help Trump money launder all of the foreign money he needs to stay solvent financially and competitive in the election.
The Bibles, the shoes, the NFTs, all of this bullshit is being used for this purpose, well that and his psycho cult fandom buys up the rest because those sheep apparently will buy anything he sells.
