I quit. It was simple. The fediverse is a great replacement.

I’m not rephrasing shit because you’re incapable of reading.

Hey internet… the shitty bot account doesn’t know how to look info up on Carter and East Timor. Can you please do it for it?

Jimmy Carter’s administration faced significant criticism for its handling of the East Timor situation during Indonesia’s occupation. Despite Carter’s reputation as a champion of human rights, his presidency saw a continuation and even expansion of military support to Indonesia while it committed atrocities in East Timor[1][2].

In 1977-1978, as Indonesia engaged in wholesale destruction of East Timor through massive bombardment and forced relocation of populations, the Carter Administration increased the flow of military equipment to Indonesia[1]. This included supplying OV-10 Broncos, planes designed for counterinsurgency operations, which were used in ferocious attacks that devastated East Timor[1][2].

The administration’s response to the crisis was particularly troubling:

1. U.S. officials, including Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke, misled Congress about the situation in East Timor, downplaying the severity of the conflict[2].

2. When the CIA reported that Indonesia was running out of weapons due to the intensity of its bombardment, the Carter administration responded by increasing military sales to Indonesia in 1978[2].

3. The administration provided ground attack fighters like OV-10 Broncos, A-4s, and F-5s, knowing they would be used against East Timor’s civilian population[2].

Carter later expressed regret for his lack of intervention, admitting in a 2007 interview that he was not as thoroughly briefed about the situation in East Timor as he should have been[2]. However, this does not negate the fact that his administration’s policies contributed to the deaths of tens of thousands of East Timorese during his years in office[1][3].

You know it doesn’t take much to use the internet to be educated, right? It practically does the work for you now…

Greg Stoker was just making fun of Chuck Schumer yelling “We will win” on the steps of (I think the treasury?) before dipping permanently.

It’s sad how lacking of recent historical context people have. They always point to Carter and it’s like… frustrating.

Obama bombed a wedding of civilians not to mention hid Afghanistan casualty reports, was a part of the death of half a million Iraqi casualties, was part of the Syrian hell that targeted mainly children with fatalities at 191,000 by 2014, then there was Yemen and saber rattling on Iran and full support of Israel. Carter sadly oversaw the East Timor genocide at 25% of the population or 170,000 killed.

He oversaw East Timor

This is the point. They want to crash the economy.

Yes

Pretty soon authoritarianism will be worldwide, though. That’s the goal.

Learning about firearms to teach targeted groups. Teaching people about online alternatives for secure communication. Maintaining an antiICE communication network. Building an independent news source RSS so friends and family can get off Meta.

You?

Not me. I want the zealots all beheaded. Yea, what they’re doing is illegal and I also* voted. But now it’s chop chop time. I should start a website to get 15% of the population to agree with me on a specific day. Kind of like The General Strike. But with more axe.

Sadly there weren’t polls to observe during previous dictatorship takeovers. None, that I know of. So to be able to gauge the stats of stupidity in Nicaragua or Germany during the world war isn’t possible. But I guess we can at least look at the accounts from the people of that time. I have a sinking suspicion that the human species is genuinely just this stupid, though. I’m in process of reading the book, “They Thought They Were Free” and “Before the Revolution” and it seems people are genuinely just very simple. Sorry, friend.
