    Who is going to learn from this?

    This video is blowing up, so it’s not like only Beehaw users are going to see it. Plenty of Centrists and neolib democrats are seeing this behavior, and it has the potential to disabuse them of the notion that the US government is good. Will some of them look at it and just think, “anyone but Trump and this wouldn’t happen”? Sure, but plenty will realize that this is the same government that did Rodney King, Kent State, Blair Mountain, etc (as well as all the international abuses and evil we enable and perpetrate), and it’s just a matter of time before it turns on them.

    So chomping at the bit for “just desserts,”

    Once again, saying “look at what they’re actively doing to you right now, that’s what they’ve been doing to us non-Americans all along”, is not advocating or wishing for that abuse, it’s advocating and wishing for people to wake up to the abuse.
