George Takei getting me thru this election
reminder that george takei’s family survived an honest-to-god internment camp set up by the us government because of their race. if he says we can survive whatever a trump presidency throws at us, i believe him.

well, at least people can’t pretend that the US isn’t a white supremacist patriarchal society any more
yup, just like the election of Barack Obama ended the pretence that the US isn’t a marxist black power society.
the obvious difference being that Obama is demonstrably not a black power marxist and Trump demonstrably is a patriarchal white supremacist.
I do accept that my OP massively underestimates the average american’s capacity for self delusion, but the argument is definitely a lot weaker now.
why would a white supremacist society elect Obama with 10 million more votes than Trump received?
hah wow sorry I didn’t realise that you think the US isn’t a white supremacist society…it is, and would be whether Obama, Trump, Clinton or even Sanders were in office. The only reason a Trump presidency weakens the argument is because he is blunt and blatant with it - but the white supremacy itself is not projected downward from the president, it’s a founding principle of the US and is woven into the very fabric of social life so tightly that only a social revolution will unravel it

Okinawa on Sunday was site of a massive protest against U.S. bases, the latest in years of demonstrations, with fresh anger fueled by the recent suspected rape and killing of a woman on the Japanese island by a former Marine.
Organizers say that 65,000 people took part in the rally in Naha, Okinawa’s capital, and theIrish Times described it as “one of the biggest demonstrations in two decades against U.S. military bases.”
Protesters, who also oppose a plan to relocate a Marine Corps Air Station to another part of the island, held signs reading “Murderer Marines. Out of Okinawa,” and “Our anger is past its limit.”
The island is home to some 30,000 U.S. military personnel, the bulk of the troops the U.S. has stationed in Japan, and local residents have blamed the forces for environmental contamination and crime, including sexual assault. Last month, former U.S. Marine Kenneth Franklin Shinzato was arrested in connection with the April murder of Rina Shimabukuro.
Okinawa Gov. Takeshi Onaga, a base opponent, was at the rally, and referenced another one of the other crimes committed by U.S. military personnel—in 1995 three U.S. servicemen raped a 12-year-old Okinawan girl. "We had pledged never to repeat such an incident,“ he said.
“I couldn’t change the political system to prevent that. That is my utmost regret as a politician and as governor of Okinawa,” he added.
Both Onaga and Aiko Shimajiri, the minister for Okinawa, have called for a revision of the Status of Forces Agreement, which restricts Japanese authorities’ abitilty to investigate some crimes by U.S. servicemen while on duty.

Fuck anyone who says “why do you care about the election - you don’t even live in America.” Even if we forget for a moment that the U.S is arguably one of the most influential governments in the world and what they do effects us all, a basic sense of human empathy is what makes those living outside of America so terrified. We’re scared for every woman who is going to be denied access to an abortion and those who will inevitably die in an attempt to access an illegal one. We’re scared for every person who will seek asylum from war and poverty but will be denied compassion. We’re scared for LGBT+ people who don’t feel safe in their own communities. We’re scared for people of colour and the institutionalised oppression that they experience every day. We’re scared for victims of sexual assault knowing that their President invalidates and trivialises their experiences. We’re scared for our ailing environment. I could go on forever. We’re scared and sad and angry and disgusted that someone so vile, so comically ridiculous will probably be elected as the leader of the free world. Sometimes the bad guy wins and, in this case, it’s fucking scary because the bad guy has the power to make or break the lives of hundreds of millions of people. You don’t need to live in America to understand that, you just have to have some sense of human compassion.
