I'm here to learn stuff from knowledgeable people.
I enjoy conversations about how white men and women are problematic and how our colonizer socialization blinds us to that. Animism, Paganism, and cats.
I block MAGA.

I mean no offense by this, but teachers absolutely never get the support they need. It's criminal.

I'm not missing the point. I'm saying that you cannot compare American journalists to British journalists in this particular situation.
British journalists have no skin in the game at all and nothing will happen to them. It doesn't take an ounce of courage to be them.

OK, so the British media face certain repercussions for not kowtowing to Trump.
And the American media face certain repercussions for not kowtowing to Trump.
Are these repercussions equal in magnitude, or is there some difference between them?

And what is that word?

The British media is not under American jurisdiction, right? Trump can punish the New York Times in a way that he can't punish the Guardian or the BBC. Am I missing something?
comment in response to

I wouldn't either.
I've known guys who came back from the war and got jobs with border patrol. Some of them might enjoy rounding up "liberals" because they've been radicalized by Fox News to Believe that everybody who isn't MAGA is an enemy of the state.

Winston Churchill deliberately starved 3 million people to death in the Bengal famine. He said it was their fault for "breeding like rabbits"
Churchill was not morally superior to hitler or Stalin. He's just the one we whitewash and call ours. Shame.

This is a message. Everybody who sees him knows he is loved by the other prisoners and they are giving him haircuts.

That was really good.
Can I show y'all a really awful homeschool textbook? I found it at a booth for sons of the Confederacy at an event at a Cherokee Museum.
American History for Home Schools, 1607 to 1885, with a Focus on Our Civil War

Men can take care of their grandparents since men are complaining about a male loneliness epidemic. Problem solved.

That sounds really good, thank you so much for that detailed answer. I'm going to put it on my reading list.
My favorite books are the ones that really give me a look into humanity.

Is that real? Whoever paid for that and made that happen is a good human.

Not only be dependent on it, they need to do without it completely. Musk is a madman who wants to criminalize homelessness and put homeless people into prison labor camps. He's an enemy of the people.

I know. Europe has so much to say about America right now, but the ball is in their court to shut down Twitter and Facebook and Amazon of much as Elon Musk as they can in the EU.

Well, Winston Churchill did deliberately starve 3 million Indians to death in the Bengal famine, stealing their food to feed his soldiers even as he knew they would starve to death because of it.
And said it was their fault for "breeding like rabbits"
Churchill was not morally superior to Hitler.

Could you give me a brief synopsis of what you mean? I haven't read it.

Republicans don't care how much America goes down the tubes as long as there are white people in charge. MAGA would rather America be a total failure led by white people, than a success led by a demographic that is representative of the American population.

Who were these territories formerly colonies of?

Yep.
It's creepy how many British people online are enjoying our misfortune. They love this, even though it's going to hurt them & the entire world. It says a lot about the British national character that they’d rather see the United States doing poorly than doing well, even when it affects them.

You voted for Brexit, didn't you?
It doesn't matter. I will treat you as though you voted for Brexit no matter what.

He was. Probably morally superior too, although killing is always wrong.
Elon Musk would legalize letting Republicans shoot homeless people for sport if he could.

I live in a Republican area, and every Republican I've spoken to defends Elon Musk to the high heavens and will not hear a bad word about him.
It’s like they’re dug in so hard that if they have to admit one thing about the Republican Party is wrong they'll have to admit everything is wrong.

Elon Musk in prison would make me so happy, send him to that super Max with El Chapo and the Unabomber. He is cut from the same cloth and will fit in with them really well.

It's effing painful!
I troll right wing spaces and some of those people are misinformed not through their own fault. How much critical thinking can we expect a person who grew up in an impoverished school district to do? And it's gonna get worse.

Wait until all the Republicans over 50 lose Medicare and Social Security.
What are they going to do that? They literally will not be able to afford to live or get medical care.

Trump will go down in history as the pro-rape president.
There's going to be mass rapes in the migrant detention centers just like there were rape camps in the Bosnian Civil War. Watch it happen.

The problem is that Nazis recruit. All the time. Nazis are so happy to talk to people who aren't Nazis and try to turn them into Nazis
comment in response to

They legitimately don't think anybody except people of white European descent are "real Americans".
That's what "1776" is a dog whistle for. The idea that America was founded for white Europeans by white Europeans and everybody else was, as they said about Native Americans, "just in the way".

A lot of those border patrol guys took those jobs because they enjoy bullying brown people.
Going to war does not make a man a better person. Some of them genuinely get a taste for the power of violence and killing and want to do it again legally.
comment in response to

Everybody please watch "Que Vadis, Aida” about the camps and rape camps in the Bosnian Civil War and how the UN screwed everything up with their incompetence.
This will happen here. There will be rape camps and Republicans will excuse it by saying only white people are real Americans.
comment in response to
post
This is terrifying.
Everybody should watch ¨Que Vidas, Aida” about the genocide in Srebrenica and the incompetence of the UN.
Because that will happen here in our migrant camps. Do you really think these militia guys aren't gonna rape women and children when they know they can get away with it?

Oh God dammit
Can somebody please recommend some alternatives to Airbnb? I wanna rent rooms living with other people, not entire places.

They won't take actions that undo the Harm they've done until they admit they were wrong. And the more they think they'll be laughed at for admitting they were wrong, the more likely they are to dig their heels in and remain Trump supporters.

The next time there's a major hurricane and people see that there's literally no help for anybody, maybe finally then Trump supporters will wake up.

I'm with you. Don't make anyone think that when they change their opinions to become more liberal, that it's total capitulation to you and you won and they lost.

This will be spun in right wing media as that AOC is spending their tax dollars bye giving zillion dollar webinars in high fancy hotels to migrants and teaching them how to be here illegally
It will. And low information voters will believe it.
comment in response to
post
They don't. They don't know anything. I troll truthsocial and genuinely try to understand their thinking. They don't know anything, & genuinely believe their tax dollars are funding lunch hour sex changes for kids.
And they're the kind of people who need Social Security and Medicare really badly.

Is this really true? Have Canadian flags actually sold out?
comment in response to
post
The problem is that the Americans who aren't informed and can't separate good from bad also vote.
I troll truthsocial and I see comments like "they hate us anyway" to justify awful things towards Canada every time I go there.
comment in response to
post
Thank you. This is what Canadians don't get. The online hate eggs on low information voters who feel insulted by words like "redneck".
I understand hating everything that's going on in America right now. I do too. But please understand the hating makes low information voters want to punish Canada.
comment in response to
post
What's going on right now it's like crack for Canadians
Expect them to take absolutely every opportunity to show us how superior they are to us, in every way they can.
If you travel and meet Canadians they will punish you for this regardless of who you voted for.

Daniel, this isn't holocaust revisionism. Holocaust revisionism is saying the concentration camps didn't exist, or if they did, nobody was killed there. We need to preserve the sanctity of that word and not water it down.
I agree with you that this is horrible and alarming.
