    The US locks up 20% of the world’s prison population but only has 5% of the World’s entire population.

    The War on Drugs is a genocide for minorities with millions of families destroyed and millions of lives lost. Militarization of police and full on invasion of residential neighborhoods is normal. Every single overdose is preventable with harm reduction.

    Every year we lose 40k-50k people to gun violence. We have lost more people in the last twenty years to gun violence than every single service member dead in every war we have ever had.

    Being shot to death is our number one killer for children.

    I can’t even believe how ignorant your statements are. We are suffering, I have lost multiple people in my life to gun violence and drug overdose. Just about everyone has.

    The real enemy is our ruling class, but apparently you think the average person needs to suffer more because you have bought into the propaganda that the typical US citizen is responsible for this shit show rather than being oppressed wage slaves for capitalism.

      Can the typical murican vote? Then they’re responsible, yes.
      Can the typical murican do something but chooses not to? Then they’re responsible, yes.

      Your comment just lists how muricans suffer from their own bad choices, but what you replied to was on how murican military brings suffering to others outside your country. You seem to have missed that,

      You guys had 9/11 and still ask Why us? so yeah, you’d need an invasion with boots on your ground and even then i doubt you’d wake up.

        Yeah, Americans decided to attack themselves for the War on Drugs instead of taking care of our fellow man. Sure 1 in 3 Americans deserve to be locked up and disenfranchised.

        You are just exposing your profound ignorance.

        What of all the Americans who didn’t vote for this administration, do they deserve to die as well?

        Go satiate you bloodlust somewhere else and may you get what you wish on others. Disgusting.

          You’re still missing the point and I’m certainly not the one with a bloodlust.

          Bye

            You point is you think American civilians deserve to die for decisions they didn’t make. It is a stupid point made by a bloodthirsty moron.
