Just the thing to endear your party to the electorate before an election. For Republicans, a war actually does this. Not so sure about Democrats.

How does he know he’ll lose? From what I see in the polls there’s a good chance he could win

But are they buying expensive trucks? Still doubtful.

“I can totally understand why people have a problem with Jews because of the behavior of some extremist right wing Jews.” You might want to take a step back and think about that.

You yourself admit that worldwide antisemitism is a problem. These people are not thinking subtly. I can understand why people do all kinds of horrible things, but it doesn’t mean I’m sympathetic or defending them.

Holding all Jews responsible for what happens in Israel, let alone what a particular Israeli government does, is antisemitic.

I’m saying that a particular group of extreme right wing Jews is encouraging people the world over to make that antisemitic conflation. They do so because in the short term it serves their interests, but in the bigger picture it causes damage.

And no, it’s not our fault. It’s the fault of the antisemites.

It’s the fault of antisemites and those that egg them on.

See the pattern here?

Of course. Vile antisemitism has a long history.

The upside to Israel’s actions over the past year is sending a clear message that the Jewish state isn’t going anywhere, and if you try to kill us you will suffer greatly.

In the process it sends a message to the world that Israel is brutal, racist and hateful. It may end up damaging Israel’s interests more than helping. Netanyahu does what’s best for Netanyahu, not for Israel or for Jews.

You should get his name right if you’re going to incite action against him.

Not to be pedantic, but you might want to fix that typo. “Purpose”, not “propose”.

Trump’s holding rallies that explicitly promise a violent dictatorship and call for killing some of the most oppressed groups of people, and he’s about to be elected President for the second time. Then people like these cops are going to be celebrated and encouraged.

But then how would they violently enforce white supremacy and the interests of capitalists?

And so are 30-40% of Americans, who will set about killing the others as soon as they can. Many of the rest are sleepwalking and will suddenly discover their own love for fascism once it gets the upper hand. Once the USA is solidly fascist, other countries will start turning fascist rapidly. Many of them are already on the brink. It’s a very frightening time.

It’s just the global turn to fascism, that’s all. Just humanity dealing with crisis in the most stupid and destructive way it possibly could.

I always thought it was a distortion even to put the two on a level as right and left wings, as if they’re equally valid alternative views that balance each other. One starts with an understanding of the basic truth that we share this world and must support each other, and tries to work out, with intelligence and care, how to arrange things so that everyone can thrive. The other is a roiling mess of ignorance, hatred, narrow-mindedness, greed, and personality disorders. To frame it as if there’s an ongoing debate of left vs right is no more valid than to say there’s an ongoing debate between astrophysicists and flat-earthers, medical researchers and antivaxers, or climate scientists and climate change deniers. Funnily enough, all the absurdly ignorant, time-wasting positions on the right-hand side of those pairs are actually popular among the right wing. Conservatism is a personal limitation (even when it’s also a grift), not a real political philosophy.

Yuck, Daily Express. One of the nastiest rags in the UK.

Why would anyone have thought it was over?

Many of them are too cowardly to admit they support the actions of said cunt.

“If the Fake News reporting is correct, [Milley] was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States,” Trump wrote in the post on his Truth Social site.

What does that actually mean, “If the Fake News reporting is correct”? Does he just reflexively call news “fake news” even when he thinks it’s true?

“If the Fake News reporting is correct, [Milley] was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States,” Trump wrote in the post on his Truth Social site.

That must have been a short phone call.

The Kremlin may have had to work hard in 2015-2016, but I bet they don’t need to work so hard now that MAGA has become self-sustaining. No doubt they’re doing their bit, but these days they have more help than ever from inside the USA.

There’s a long history of Americans and other Westerners thinking it’s all those other countries that do propaganda. Meanwhile, the less propaganda you see, the more effectively the propaganda is working on you. Americans are some of the most propagandized people in the world.
