They need him to be a genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a fool.

I drag with two fingers on the touchpad these days, feels better/more accurate imo

I mean, sure I'm not denying that and it's interesting to discuss. Same line of thinking that led to Russia being humiliated in the Sino-japanese war. But it's just a bit off-topic 😅

Ok but that's not really relevant to WEB's actions. He toured Manchukuo to praise Japan's empire. What does that have to do with opposing white supremacy.

I disagree with that. Why do you think they want the babies? Future soldiers for the fascist wars of aggression.
Putin has tried for years to bring back up the birth rate for that. As it failed, he had to invade Ukraine before there wouldn't be enough youth to do it.

I've never seen Trump himself as a "bought asset". But he likes what dictators do (remember the 2018 DPRK bs too).
But he's surrounded by other people who like that too, as well as genuine Russian assets.

For years the Western far-right praised Russia's "family values" or whatever against "Western degeneracy". But for a few years they suddenly couldn't praise them loudly anymore. The 2022 French presidential debate was almost hilarious for that.
Now they're praising them again anyway.

Sure, once again I'm aware of the shit the US has done.
But there's *quite some difference* between "I don't care that the US navy got attacked by a foreign power" and going to said foreign power and praising their colonial efforts in Manchuria. Criticizing one racism to praise another.

@antifascistfella.bsky.social stay safe out there and keep an eye out...

I get that, but let's say that Putin bombs a US Navy base right now, even though Trump is a dictator and far worse than FDR, I wouldn't cheer for Putin either.

There's no link between white supremacy and Pearl Harbor. By the time of Pearl Harbor, Japanese genocidal atrocities in China were well known, such as the rape of Nanking. Which was one of the factors that led to the US sanctions, which led to Pearl Harbor. The sanctions were justified.

There's no way anyone can seriously say that Tesla will ever outsell all the other car companies in the world combined, even though they're valued more than them. This is a BS stock
comment in response to

You don't understand, they will absolutely outsell VW, Ford, Toyota, Renault,... combined, why else would Tesla be valued more than all motor companies combined? (/s)

Damn that's impresive. I'd start by banning X, banning Tesla & SpaceX from gov. contracts, and threaten to increase sanctions against the US in case of more interference from Musk & co, and unliateral deals with Russia.

I mean I get the joke but this comes from a woman who was severely burned by the boiling-hot machines at McDonalds and won the lawsuit. Companies don't say "coffee is hot" because people are dumb, but so that they won't be liable if people get burned from their shit machines.

Even then I still mostly disagree. You can 100% keep a centrist, polite way without whitewashing these atrocious policies. Something like:
"Trump proposes largest mass-deportation since Trail of Tears"
"Senate to vote on confirmation of Gabbard, an ally of Putin & Assad"
"Trump calls himself king"

+ allowing opinion articles from transphobes, racists, putinists & even pro-annexation of Canada.
Imagine if they said stuff like "the gas chambers, this controversial method of answering the Jewish problem"
This is lunacy

The problem isn't that the NYT is "polite" it that they sanewash every insane thing this administration does. Because of them, mass deportation is just a normal housing policy. Tulsa Gabbard or RFK are just "controversial" nominees. They normalize insanity.

Lol reminds me of America making "freedom of navigation exercises" off the coast of Libya. China definetly learned from the US on how to be the uncontested world hegemon. Between fascist US & China, the future is bleak.

Irrelevant to the topic. Stalin is also high up there in the list of cartoonish vilains and it was still a good decision to arm them against the Nazis.

New trumpist bot, you're not fooling anyone

I don't think we should be more willing to speak to Nazis. I think other people should be less willing to do so. If there is persuading to do it should be persuading the centre and the centre-right to stop talking to them.

Our country was led in 2014 by flemmish nationalists with nazi collaborator ties (look up "theo francken bob maes"), and the same guys just got in government now. Apparently they even want to order more F-35s! Lunatics

Damn even the NYP is turning against Trump. I guess the tradtional GOP warhawks are unhappy. too bad for them, they sold their party to putinists.
comment in response to

An extremely criticized decision at the time (especially as back in 2014 the F-35s were still immature). Since then the plane has become better but we can't rely on the US.
And get this, our new defense minister (essentially a flemmish fascist) wants to order more! Utter idiot

Propaganda is why that is. "The evil socialists will tax you more, vote for us for tax relief". Even when you say it's taxes on the ultra-rich, they think they'll get impacted ("temporary embarassed billionaires" is how many americans see themselves)
comment in response to
post
It's not the sole solution obviously but would be a good start. Also needs to unify the tax system at the european level. Subsidize Malta & Luxemburg if that's what needed to kill their tax haven status. But nobody should make wealth in the EU that isnt taxed. And it's too big of a market to ignore
comment in response to
post
The issue is that the problem was inverted due to tax evasion, so now countries are in competition to keep the wealthy with them by continuously lowering taxes. This needs to change.
Taxing wealth where it is produced, instead of where the owner lives, would be a massive change & kill tax havens.

Same goes for voting. Many purists who vote "as their conscience say". They believe, deeply, that elections are a popularity contest.
No, it's a subset of power granted to you. And whoever come out on top WILL use that power.

Hes accused Zelensky of being a dictator for not holding elections and that arming Ukraine prolongs the war.
He'd have said the same to Churchill in 1940.

It was gonna get chopped regardless. Child abuse, homeschooling, indoctrination, it's all a fertile ground for conservatives. All in line with their abusive family values. Give them a few years and they'll legalize wife beating like in Russia, their model nation.

Martyrs are in fact so worshipped most of the world religions rely on this very idea. It's extremely powerful and meaningful to people.

And to be clear I do have a lot of respect for a lot of anarchist or anarchist-adjacent groups that have achieved a lot historically. But most of mid-20th+ century anarchists have done extremely little and are arguing about as honestly as MLs
comment in response to

Meh, at least they're useful. Still arguing to the wind for an ideology that will never come to pass. I usually have some respect for anarchists with some neurons that understand the material conditions of the people they talk to, and this ain't it

I'm the biggest hypocrite in saying so, but you're wasting your time arguing with a couch anarchist
comment in response to

We are long past trying any reasonnable argument with the US administration. They're calling Zelensky a dictator, the only thing they care about is grabbing Ukraine's ressource and leave it to the sharks (Russia).
And by they I don't mean Trump but the puppet masters behind him. Musk, Gabbard & co
comment in response to

I consider myself patriotic for my country,because I like to defend many of the values it represents, or at the very least claims to represent. That doesnt mean I unconditionally support it, certainly not its government (especially its current one) though. But I would defend these values at all cost
comment in response to
post
Holds as much value as any scrap of paper signed with Russia. I hope Zelensky won't enslave his country to Trumpism, just to get coup'd by Gabbard's CIA and Ukraine being handed over to Putin anyway

They're waiting for their equivalent of this imo
At the same time, they're making it unavoidable, but they know that
