Okay, so it’s time to rant. I feel like it’s something I’m famous for. I tend to upset both lefties and righties, so this may be upsetting to some of you, but honestly I am just pissed off at the political climate today and the fact that I am to this day still seeing people on here defending the DNC, Clintons, Booker, etc. Granted, it goes both ways. There are a ton of Trump apologists. One of them is(was?) a pretty good friend of mine who I argue with on facebook constantly, but it’s very hard to argue with someone that only listens to some facts and ignores the others. Why haven’t you unfriended this bitch-boy? You ask. Well, unlike some people, I’d rather have a conversation, defending my views, listening to the other side, despite the fact that I disagree with the views of a right-winger. I back up my facts, and let him back up his, even though both of us come to the table with heavy biases. His may favour our first ever Oompa Loompa President, but he also despises the alt right. Why is that relevant? Because certain people on the left (specifically here on Tumblr) are the same. You see something or someone that (even slightly) disagrees with your views, and you go after them. You don’t let people defend themselves. Instead of having a conversation, you also turn into angry piss-babies (like my friend) lashing out at any and all conflicting views. Trump, his administration, the neo nazis that are the “alt-right” (it can be argued that literally all the things I just listed are the same thing, which they basically are, since Bannon is literally acting as Grima Wormtongue for Trump) SHOULDN’T be forgiven and normalized, but a conversation still needs to happen. We can’t just stop the political process from working for 4 years (at the least 2, depending on the senate race.). But some major reforms need to happen with the democrats. (The republicans too, but that’s not my department. I don’t care what happens to them really.)

But let’s get into some juicy topics. The Muslim Ban. An unconstitutional executive order which he has been promising throughout his campaign that even some of the most conservative people did not believe, and yet it happened. How? Why? Well, the reason is simple: We elected a racist. However, have you ever wondered, why these 7 countries specifically? Well, let me tell you, when I heard of the muslim ban and how it was going to target 7 MUSLIM SPEAKING COUNTRIES, I correctly guessed 5 of the 7 countries. But how? How can one possibly predict which countries are going to be banned under an executive order? Well, that number, 7, is pretty specific. 7 is the number of countries we actively bombed under Obama. And guess what? 5 of those 7 are part of the muslim ban. The rage that triggered this rant actually stemmed from an article relating to that, and here’s the headline: President Donald Trump is bombing four of the seven countries from where he's restricting immigration. 4 of 7? Oh my God, already? How could he? Well, he is actually continuing (and, horiffically, expanding) the work of Obama by bombing those 4 countries. Actually, arguably, he’s currently doing LESS than Obama right now, seeing as it seems that he’s not yet continued to bomb Somalia.

Unfortunately, herein lies a huge problem:Hypocrisy from the left in the face of the same damn situations when they are done by the left and by the right. Which is why I am always so damn frustrated with this fact. Obama DID do good things domestically (although, it could be argued that some of his policies were a bit right winger as well, he still did a decent job) But when it comes down to foreign policy, we have consistently approved intervention and overthrowing of countries. After WW2 our policy has been “get involved in as much shit as possible” and while I understand the concept of giving aid to poor countries, we do not need to invade EVERY SINGLE FUCKING COUNTRY THAT WE DO NOT AGREE WITH. We can’t keep doing this shit. We DID indirectly create ISIS. How? Well, Oh gee. Let’s see. Remember Afghanistan during the cold war? Us supporting Bin Laden? Remember Iraq? We go in, destabilize a country, destroy it’s government for what? Just to elect a US-friendly government? Because that’s all it’s about, isn’t it? Interfering with elections just so that you can have like-minded governments that support you. Saudi Arabia is our biggest ally, and look at them: One of the biggest human rights violators in existence. And yet here we are getting into conflict in YEMEN AND SYRIA AND WHERE EVER ELSE BECAUSE GUESS WHAT? SAUDI ARABIA ASKED US TO! BECAUSE WE ARE SAUDI ARABIA’S LITTLE BITCH BECAUSE OUR FOREIGN POLICY IS TO BE FRIENDS WITH THE BIGGEST OPEC COUNTRY!!! And I shouldn’t even have to provide you with sources for that. If you think for a second that our foreign policy isn’t at least mostly oil-based, I don’t know. I just don’t know what to do with you. If you think for a second that our government (and I DO, in fact, mean both democrats and republicans) give the SLIGHTEST SHIT about human lives and any KIND of human rights violations that they’ve caused, you’d be wrong. And yes, I may be getting more and more aggressive throughout this but that’s not the point. If you think it’s about HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS THAT OTHER COUNTRIES COMMIT then you would be deeply wrong. HELL, WE CAN’T EVEN TAKE CARE OF OUR FRIGGIN OWN!!!! Or did you forget that one of your favourite corporate democrats, Cory Fuckboi Booker, along with TWELVE OTHER DEMOCRATS voted against a bill that would PREVENT PEOPLE FROM GETTING MEDICINE FROM CANADA FOR CHEAP. Keep in mind that this medicine is EXACTLY THE SAME AS HERE! So the defense of “It not being safe” which Fuckboi Booker is trying to use is being bought. And yet, when googling ol’ Fuckboi’s name, I get these results:

Which are unacceptable. Who GIVES A SINGLE SHIT IF HE’S VEGAN? WHY DO YOU WANT HIM TO RUN? NJ has a lot of pharmaceutical companies, and it’s obvious that he wants to keep those companies’ rights above the residents of that state. And yet liberals want him to run. I, for one, am DEAD FUCKIN TIRED OF ELECTING CORPORATISTS! Wanna know why Clinton was so disliked? Literally NO ONE TRULY THOUGHT that she cared about her people. And yes, she won the popular vote, but only based on the fact that over half this country disliked trump more. Never have I seen two candidates so largely disliked run against each other. AND GUESS WHAT? “PIE IN THE SKY” BERNIE KEPT A POSITIVE APPROVAL RATING THROUGHOUT! REMEMBER THE POLLS? THOSE PLACED HIM LIKE 10-15 % ABOVE TRUMP AT ALL TIMES. But it’s in the past. The DNC fucked up and you all know it. Wikileaks only revealed the pieces of shit they were throughout. Which is why I refuse to back corporations. Anyway, back on topic of Good ol’ Fuckboi Booker and Bernie’s Pharma Bill, because I went on a tangent there: Please, read the next phrase carefully, I don’t want it to be misunderstood:: THAT BILL THAT OL’ FUCKBOI REFUSED TO VOTE FOR? GUESS WHO VOTED FOR IT? THE FUCKING ZODIAC KILLER AND TWELVE OTHER REPUBLICANS!!! And yet these democrats refused to represent their people. I’ve been told all my life, “Democrats at least care about people. People of all races, religions, sexualities” and so on. And yet here we are trivializing the rights of other people. From MASS DEPORTATIONS UNDER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION (2.5 million from ‘09-’15) to all these wars that cause the refugee crises that we are currently experiencing worldwide. The truth is, we are at fault with most of the awful fucking shit going on in the world today. I have seen articles defending the invasion of Yemen and sources that focus on the humanitarian crisis (Which we’ve been escalating more and more, might I add. Even more under Oompa Loompa possibly than under Obama.) And yet where have you heard about Yemen in the Mainstream Media in the past few years since the conflict began? I’ll tell you: Never, and if at all? Barely ever. A bypass. A casual mention. I bet you’ve been hearing about it more lately though, haven’t you? Wanna know why? Because we elected a fascist cheeto that’s why. Now you get angry at civilian casualties, don’t you. But two years ago? When the Saudis ramped up their campaign? Nah. Or how about our involvement in Syria? I’m not going to get started on Lybia, because I don’t have the time to rant even more than I already have but I want to touch on Syria.(The following source is a video) In 2008, Saudi Arabia, Quatar, and a couple of other countries (Turkey) approached Syria with a pipeline. Syria didn’t want this. Therefore, Boom! Civil War! US starts arming rebels in Syria on behest of Saudi Arabia. (Link to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s article here) And do you want me to keep going? Cos I wanna key in on Syria for a moment here, it’s the epitome of foreign intervention by the US. It’s such a typical case. I could rant about Ukraine as well, but I have done that plenty in my time, and don’t exactly feel like digging through sources to find those to link them. Anyway, remember how we’ve been reported to on Syria? That we’re supporting “Moderate Rebels” in Syria? Literally there is no such thing. Remember how everyone was outraged as Aleppo was happening? Well, here are some facts you may not have heard. These “Moderate” US-backed terrorists in Aleppo have broken ceasefires (Following Sources are Graphic) Murdered civilians as they fled,(Following links are videos, non-graphic, I don’t remember which videos): held schools and hospitals hostage and so on. And yet here we are still claiming that we are on the right side of the whole Syria debacle (Russia’s involvement happens to be the only approved involvement, and I’m not going to deny my biases, seeing as I am a Russian that has a US citizenship, but it is the only country that was approved) Do I agree with Assad? No. But should he be overthrown? Well, if you look at voter turnout data, Syria’s turnout in 2014 was 73%. Much higher than US’s meager less-than half numbers. And I don’t know, make of that what you will, but if a dictator gets more voter turn out than democratically elected nominees on election day, there’s something wrong. There are plenty of human rights violations on all counts. Hell, even the United Fuckin States has some human rights violations. And yet, here we are allying ourselves with one huge Human Rights violator and trying to overthrow another. That, and the whole pre-Trump cold war rhetoric that happened as well. (Which may be another positive of electing the cheeto. I honestly voted for Jill Stein in part as a protest, in part because I wanted to vote for the peace candidate, and, in large part, because I was afraid of what Clinton could possibly do to Russia. Considering I have family there still, and a good friend of mine is currently doing his military training, I really wanted to avoid that.)

I wanted to talk Russia specifically as well, but let’s be honest, now that you know I’m Russian, there’s no way that you’ll listen to me. That, and also the fact that hey, where’s the media still raging about Russia hacks? Oh wait, everyone magically forgot. Because they have no use for it anymore. But here, have some sources anyway. Here’s DNC denying FBI investigations into DNC servers Here’s Obama admitting DNC Emails being leaked Here’s Craig Murray talking about the guy that leaked the emails and another article on craig murray Oh, and just to add to that, remember that story on Russia hacking Vermont’s ENTIRE electric grid that literally everyone reported on and to this day most have refused to correct? Also false.

But anyway, that’s it. I could go on and on. Honestly this entire shit always gets me riled. There are plenty of other things I am angry about that I didn’t mention: Standing Rock, other, mostly domestic issues, corporations basically running our government. I can’t write a fucking dissertation, okay? I am defending my views, while pointing out controversies on the right AND the left. But yeah, here. Have at it. I’m ready to take the full brunt of all the hate I’m about to get for posting this. However, if you’d like to create a conversation and keep this going, you may. Sorry this ended up being so long. I tried to get my main points across, hopefully I did. This literally took like two days to type (mainly cos college.) If you have any qualms about any claims that I didn’t go into enough detail on or something, bring it up, I’ll clarify as best I can. Thanks.
