Brazilian Catholic. Autistic. I was a far-right theocrat until about 2009, when I started a gradual but consistent leftward conversion. I now sympathize with Marxism-Leninism, but am still getting up to speed with feminism and the LGBT movement. Please have patience with this newbie.

Católico brasileiro. Autista. Eu era um teocrata de extrema-direita até aproximadamente 2009, quando iniciei uma gradual mas consistente conversão à esquerda. Hoje sou simpatizante do marxismo-leninismo, mas ainda estou me informando sobre feminismo e movimento LGBT. Por favor tenham paciência com este novato.

    Civil liberties and women rights are much better in Iran than Saudi Arabia, yet the former is in US-declared “axis of evil” while the latter is a close US ally.

    The US has practiced about 200 military interventions just in the last three decades. It killed two millions in Korea, a million in Vietnam, another million in Indonesia, another in the Middle East. It promoted a coup in Iran, which had a secular, progressive, patriotic government, for the crime of nationalizing petroleum, and installed a subservient authoritarian absolute monarch, which was later overthrown – by islamic revolutionaries. The US caused the problem of theocracy in Iran by illegally overthowing the secular government, now you think more US violence will solve it?

    The US also promoted coups all over Latin America to overthrow democratic governments and install subservient brutal military dictatorships.

    Putin has problems, but he is not remotely in the same category of evil as the US regime.




  • Are you trolling? Technically there exist other parties, but USian election rules (especially FPTP) are mathematically proven to cause such a huge spoiler effect that, even when a big fraction of voters hate both viable parties, electing a single third-party congressman is very unlikely, and electing a third-party president is nearly impossible.

    It is like saying that the Earth is not round, because, strictly speaking, it is slightly bulged.
