  • If some wealthy people want to push for independence more power to them. Honestly, they should be separated and independent from the US after a payment of a couple of trillion dollars of reparations, of course.

    I would like to point out that unless they plan on creating a new form of government they will just fall neatly into the fascist trap the rest of the world has fallen in. I don’t think wealthy pop icons are going to slit their own throats.

    So it really isn’t about anti-colonial at this point as it is about anti-corporations. We need to move our mindset beyond the 20th century if we ever expect to break free as a people.



  • The Dems voted for statehood a long time ago. The Dems got issues, but supporting Puerto Rico isn’t one of them.

    I don’t think people realize just how racist our country has been towards Puerto Rico. The only reason they aren’t a state is purely conservative racism. They were fucking sterilizing their women up until the 70’s for Christ’s sake.

    Trying to blame their problems on the Democratic Party in the face of dehumanizing Republican racism has got to be one of the most tone deaf two-faced garbage takes I have ever seen.






  • Some terms are important to clarify. Like most Democrats are either Neoliberals or Neocons. If you don’t know the difference between classical liberalism and it’s modern forms a party like the Democrats might not make any sense

    The reason the Democrats even have any value is progressives who strive to improve things through evidence, intervention, and evaluation. Unfortunately they do not control the party and are a minority compared to the Neoliberals and Neocons.
