I remember when I was very young (don’t actually remember I was like 2) when Katrina hit Florida and New Orleans and Bush left our people to starve and die, didn’t rebuild shit and allocated like a few million at most for aid.

Chad China response to natural disasters sending out the whole PLA and disaster teams to find every single citizen in sub-zero weather

    not only the PLA, members of the party too, cpc isn’t just state burocracy like late sucp, they do active militant work and serve the people.

    lots of ground work when stuff like these happens are done by members of the party, another example were the covid containment efforts like blockades, vehicle and street washing, testing and so on, where done by members of the party

    Weren’t they themselves killing people there? I think I read about the American Sniper guy killing people there.

      I don’t know anything about that but I would not be surprised.

      I was born in Florida and lived there until about 2, so I just remember my mom telling me about the absolutely dystopian situation that was the southern US during late 2005. She remembers driving with me in the carseat as her beater Ford Focus was floating down the road lmao and that there was really no help for the people there after.

      I do recall also hearing something about people either killing themselves or the medical professionals just intentionally overdosing people on morphine because there was zero government assistance and it was the most humane thing to do (as opposed to letting them die of horrible infection, starvation, or whatever other injuries they sustained)

        So I read up on it. Chris Kyle (American Sniper) claimed to have shot 30 or so “looters” from atop something called a superdome in New Orleans. But there is no evidence of this. He has lied about a lot of shit so he probably made this up too.

          Lmao how pathetic lying about being a chud.

          The rabid devotion to killing people for taking some cheap shit at a store in the middle of a crisis will never cease to amaze me

          Yes, the superdome is/was an American football stadium that cost like billions of dollars or something.

            It’s the most american thing ever. A psychopathic murderer praised as a hero lies about killing desperate poor people from atop a temple of capitalism during a crises largely ignored by the government.
