Honestly, I would fall into this trap.

The federal agent genuinely sounds like she is a person having car trouble, this trap would work on me because I guess I too am a fundamentally decent person.

Feel free to call my take hyperbolic but this is genocidal.

This aims to eradicate a culture. That's the definition of the word.

We've been genocidal ever since we started ripping children from their parents.

Ripping minority children from their parents has been a tradition in the USA since the very beginning. From the shameful history of slavery, to the shameful history of native American boarding schools, to the shameful current reality of anti-immigration policies and enforcement.

Yes, we've been genocidal the whole time. We've pretty much never been the good guys.

Sundown towns are here now. Seems repealing the Civil Rights Act is not an impossibility. Looks the Green Book is needed again.

Politicians fucking over civillians and you blame the civilians?

So... by your standards, you think y'all deserve Hiroshima too for waging war against China? Are you calling your country's civillians from the WW2 era "dumb" too for the support of the imperialist invasion?

(And to be clear: I do not condone violence against civillians, but that's what you're saying by your own logic)

What part of any of this is systematic?
I am calling them dumb for letting fascist conquer them for 22years and counting.

Why do civilians empower politicians again?
