Pretending there is no other way to deal with inflation other than raising interest rates, while also ignoring corporate profits - especially those of the banks - is just admitting you think it’s ok that some people are collateral damage for the ‘economy’

US soldiers are just collateral damage
Trump - “It’s not a war. It can’t be a war when for 5 months nobody was hurt, killed, or anything else. We haven’t lost anybody in 7 months, so I don’t think that’s a war.”
Tell that to the families of the 23 U.S. service members killed & the 866 wounded since fighting began, you POS!

Why do people hate data centers so much? Because they are the physical manifestation of an oligarchy that treats their life and mind as collateral damage of profits.

I kinda hoped for less collateral damage, though.

Wild how many cis women support transphobic laws.

Any law that targets trans women also tend to hit cis women as collateral damage.

Not surprised. Two men died as collateral damage at his fake, staged assassination 😡

You have to understand that this is a necessary bit of collateral damage in fighting those evil transes who want to reinforce sex stereotypes and demean real women.

He’s trying the burn down America. The Republicans are just collateral damage.

USAmericans, I think, invented collateral damage to pretend it's ok to do war crimes

Can’t forget the collateral (and entirely self-inflicted) damage of Ezra Klein in Turning Point’s astounding path of destruction

I think the story is more that Trump is burning America to the ground under Putin's influence. The GOP is just collateral damage, although Republicans are clearly willing to go along with anything their Dear Leader commands.
There comes a point where the circumstantial evidence leads you to conclude that Trump is intentionally burning the Republican Party to the ground because he doesn’t want it to succeed or thrive without him when he’s gone.

Broke my heart when @deldeib.bsky.social covered it.

Folks need to sit down with their doctor and RFK Jr isn’t helping.

yes, but it also means there will be a lot of collateral damage on the way.

brace, brace
Susie Wiles has managed to keep a lid on White House chaos for two years – the team has barely leaked, even as everything has disintegrated around them.

Miller will run a *very* different operation, just as the opposition are fully tooled up.

Popcorn out, imo.
Trump announces Stephen Miller will be his new White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles.

I keep coming back to whose distress counts. A hypothetical disadvantage is treated as intolerable, while the distress caused by exclusion, accusations, or invasive scrutiny becomes acceptable collateral damage. How is that a coherent commitment to children’s wellbeing?
November 5, 2026 at 5:15 PM
Well they were wrong, no amount of cis suffering would dissuade them from their hatred of trans girls

Turns out you can't stop the hate by refusing to defend the targets of that hate and instead emphasizing the collateral damage. Hate doesn't care!

Canada is already part of that 'collateral damage'. Same for Mexico, EU, Ukraine, South Africa, Venezuela, Greenland, Brasil, and I can't remember who else yet.

lol sorry Boer, collateral damage and whatnot

Yeah, but why were the rest of us collateral damage

Retribution perpetuates the cycle because there's always collateral damage. Don't believe me, ask the former Yugoslavia.
November 9, 2026 at 8:12 AM
I will not repeat the gross argument I read that I think this account was also trying to make, but it's a brazen "proportionate collateral damage" one, in brief
November 8, 2026 at 6:18 AM
They will simply have to be collateral damage.
