Atrocities ☠️ The legacy of Joe Biden is genocide

Y’all gotta start realizing the MIC has more power than the executive branch. The only 5-star general president of the US knew its influence had outpaced the democratic processes of the country. What the MIC wants, the MIC gets, and I suspect no president will be able to change that.
Edit: adding quote from Eisenhower’s farewell speech regarding the military industrial complex (MIC):
“A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. . . . American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. . . . This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. . . .Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. . . . In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”

What's MIC?

Military Industrial Complex. Not trying to get conspiracy-y or anything but the DoD literally fails to account for over half its budget every year and the US/Israeli military have incredibly close ties and agreements to share technology and intelligence.
There is effectively no oversight of the DoD by democratically elected representatives and there hasn’t been for decades. On Eisenhower’s way out of office he explicitly warned the US population to be wary of the unchecked proliferation of US military assets and their connections to corporate and foreign influence.

They have names. They have faces. We know who they are.
We just can't do anything about it because they're so goddamn entrenched. They're billionaires, with their own private army of armed security. They're operating openly, corporations with deep ties to the US government, heavily subsidized, and tentacles in every business. You know their names.

I think Trump is dumb enough to try and fuck with the MIC.

u/Endgam Nov 22 '24
I'm afraid you're the dumb one if you think Trump even has any issues with the MIC.
He's corporate interest cutting out the middleman and running the country directly.

u/ForGrateJustice Nov 21 '24
Yeah, there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas.
For one, Hamas isn't taking babies and smashing them by the leg against concrete like IDF soldiers are.

Israel is committing genocide and that is horrible. That being said, we shouldn’t be dismissing hamas’s crimes, they have committed many atrocities.

u/ForGrateJustice Nov 22 '24
uh, nobody is dismissing Hama's crimes.

u/trifling-pickle Nov 22 '24
“There is no equivalence between Israel and hamas.”
They both commit war crimes. That is one equivalence.

u/ForGrateJustice Nov 22 '24
The second sentence is the object. You're just being pedantic, I am using Biden's phrase in sarcasm.

This is one of the many reasons they lost. We need to rid the party of these center righr corporate fucking stooges

What Israel did this past year was what genocide looks like. Joe Biden " I didn't see anything"

u/Endgam Nov 22 '24
If Biden was a Sith he would have been killed by another Sith a long time ago.
He'd fit right in with the Sith Empire's non-Sith sycophants. But as a Sith? Way too incompetent and submissive to make it. He's a bottom feeder. Sith kill other Sith more than they kill Jedi. Wonder why they lost to the Republic.
And as a Banite Sith..... forget it.

The fight against fascism should have been a easy victory, and the Democrats failed in spectacular fashion
5
u/Endgam Nov 22 '24
See, the problem is that Democrats ARE fascists. Just more incompetent ones than the Republicans.
Lesser evil doesn't prevail over greater evil. You don't send a senile warlock who honestly wasn't even that good when he was younger neither or a witch whose abilities aren't even half the size of her ego to face the evil dragon. You send a hero. Heroes slay evil dragons.

"Complicit" is when you stand by and allow something to happen when you have the power to stop it. Joe Biden is an accomplice

u/ec1710 Nov 21 '24
If the election was the problem, he had time to do something, even if just something symbolic that would be part of his legacy. That's how you know that he and the Democrats support genocide, and their "concerns" are disingenuous.

u/Endgam Nov 22 '24
Conspiracy theory: the Democrats wanted to lose so Trump can take the blame for "finishing the job" even though Biden's the one setting up the final phases before leaving.

u/wtmx719 Nov 21 '24
They just don’t know how to win or govern do they?

u/Endgam Nov 22 '24
Why do you think the Republicans have been in power more often than not since Reagan?

u/theleopardmessiah Nov 21 '24
He's right: There is no equivalence between the crimes of Israel and those of Hamas.

u/Endgam Nov 22 '24
Genocide, segregation, union busting, mass incarceration, groping and sniffing preteen girls.....
Holy fuck how did anyone actually think running with this irredeemable shit stain of a human being was a good idea?! Let alone as the "not Trump" candidate because..... that sounds a lot like Trump, actually.
Well, at least historians will remember him for who he actually was and not "the most wholesome man in history" the liberals tried to paint him as.

u/ChanneltheDeep Nov 21 '24
He's also got a Neville Chamberlain type legacy too
2
u/Endgam Nov 22 '24
At least Chamberlain bought time for his own country to prepare.
Biden is just Second Hitler's cockholster.
