Ta-Nehisi Coates was mostly speaking about the machine of the USA's so-called "Democratic Party": (See https://www.juancole.com/2025/02/democrats-genocide-democracy.html)

But Coates's eloquently acidic comments apply also to the broad base of Democrats. In 2024, many American friends endorsed #Kamala without acknowledging her criminal role in the genocide in Gaza.

American liberals and Democrats are now overwhelmingly a bunch of #WhineyGenociders: vocal about disruption to America, near-silent about the #genocide that America enables.

@mekkaokereke Racism is one part of the wider problem of #imperialism.

A big majority of USAnians are imperialists. They don't just support the North American empire and is global war machine and its rapacious extractive capitalism.

Last November, 75,017,613 USAnians voted to continue the #GenocideJoe policy of funding and arming genocide in #Gaza. Now they yelp while Trump does real evils, but only a fragment as nasty as what they voted to do to Gaza. They are #WhineyGenociders

@Pamela1960 Do you follow Chris Hedges?

He is v good on how the Dems&Repubs are just two flavours of imperialist: the Dems are the corporate fascists, and the Repubs are oligarchic fascists.

I am sickened by the Dems. They lined up to support Genocide Joe, and now squawk that Trump is doing to them nasty stuff that's not even a tenth as evil as what they did to Gaza. I call them #WhineyGenociders

The liberal imperialists think its a great idea to go killing A-rabs 🕌who try to uphold international law⚖ by blockading supplies🚢 to the Israeli🇮🇱 genociders💀💀💀, as Yemen🇾🇪 has being trying to do. The liberal imperialist scum are mostly supporters of the genocide💀💀💀, so these #whineygenociders think it's ab fab👍💖 that American🇺🇲 terrorists🥷 are killing🔫💣 people👥 who try to block the genocide💀💀💀. >>
