Trust me, no other cultures saw those messages and thought about the incompetent opsec. They saw how Americans slay with accompanying emojis and not a single mention of the indiscriminate collateral human lives. Not as if they are concerned even about the optics. Just no mention. Not internal. Not external. Nothing. The human rights considerations are not evaded or even acknowledged. The conventions of war, even what the other nations might say, nothing. Operating anywhere in the world with emoticon decorated executions. It is notable for the rest of the world. This is the extent of the mercy of the few. Those that decide who lives. That the native opposition's persecution and domestic news coverage is exclusively over how it was leaked.. It is not something you can ignore when it can be you at any moment. And soon, Americans themselves will piece by piece learn that it could be them too. That fear means control. To be subject to this arrogance towards life will hopefully get a few of the sofa. God bless her and him that dare, the world is watching you hang in the balance. The well-being of your children and loved ones comes to question and at that point some of us will be forever immortalised, either for feeding or defying the wolves of this eerily completely broadcasted fascist cycle.

There are literally several opposition parties who feel like this. They will never get power because of the first past the post voting system and this particular stance can be so easily argued as anti American that if this is all you have to run on, you’re screwed because we have Trump to deal with and destroying party unity for this would help him.

Yes, opposing the genocide of the world's poorest people is definitely anti-american.

They're trying to get a specific guy fired. Focusing on the bigger picture doesn't accomplish that.

Nothing accomplishes that. We can't even stop them from killing people on our own soil.

Police brutality in the US has only gone up since the Black Lives Matter protests began
