Except time, energy, and breath that could go into things that actually affect change.

There is nothing to be gained by highlighting Republican hypocrisy.

You must have not experienced covid in the United States. All I saw here was a hectic shitshow full of scores of people utterly rejecting any semblance of disease guidance - going so far as doing the opposite of whatever the institutions recommended. Then there were a few redeeming groups who decided to play ball - not out of obedience, but out of love and respect for vulnerable groups.

Actually, the constitution IS ambiguous in how it defines war. If it weren’t so ambiguous, presidents wouldn’t be able to take advantage of the War Powers Act so easily - as they have done for decades.

The US hasn’t declared war since WWII despite both red and blue presidents dropping untold bombs since then. The hubbub about Trump unilaterally carrying out “military action” is less about scary orange man, and more about an executive branch that has been concentrating power for decades under red and blue presidents alike. This, like many other things, is something that leftists have been sounding alarm bells about for ages.

Stop elevating the Constitution. It is an extremely weak, vague, and antiquated document that was written almost exclusively by 20 something, white, enslaving, landowing white males. I know of no other constitution that explicitly enshrines the right to enslave people. The US constitution is an embarrassment, and its no surprise its getting torn to shreds once the first unabashedly fascist shows up.

The last time the US formally declared war was WWII. Presidents, both blue and red, have been taking advantage of the incredibly weak War Powers Act for decades now.

Am I understanding this right? You believe that, amid a new strategy of gunning down starving Palestinians arriving to aid sites, Taiwan was obligated to start giving free vacations to genocidal IDF soldiers to bolster its defensive capacity? Dafuq?

Yall’s “liberal pragmatism” is laughably evil.

So then why is Taiwan bending over backwards to cater to Zionists from a lunatic blood-thirsty genocidal child-killer state-terrorism country? Going so far as offer free vacations to zionists and expanding ties in the wake of Oct 7?

“It was Mao Zedong who said, ‘Israel and Taiwan are bases of operation for imperialism in Asia. They created Israel for the Arabs and Taiwan for us. They both have the same objective’. So almost automatically, if China supports a side, then Taiwan will support the other,” Arnaud Bertrand, an expert on China, told Middle East Eye.

You know the CIA downplayed the “Stalin as a dictator” narrative?

And that Stalin tried to step down 4 times but was rejected?

And that the Tsarist years preceeding the Soviet Union offered zero democracy, but only an autocratic, absolute monarchy?

Removed by mod

The CIA literally spent decades attempting to dissolve the Soviet Union and usher in free market capitalism - which led to oligarchy and Putin.

To beat fascism, you need to understand it. To understand fascism, you need to understand how the democrats are not only controlled opposition, but they are complicit.

Tom Homan, Trump’s Border Czar, was originally an Obama pick.

In 2015, Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. The Washington Post article at the time stated, “Thomas Homan deports people. And he’s really good at it.”

Every single democratic senator just voted to confirm Marco Rubio, and he answered by doing fascism in short order.

You can’t get snippy with people rightly calling you out for spewing liberalism as you attempt to refocus attention away from the democrats who enabled this devolution into fascism. The liberal fixation with defending democrats as they usher in fascism is bizarre.

That’d be the horrendous AI upscaling. Peep the fingers.

Why wouldn’t they? Trump’s border czar and Project 2025 contributor Tom Homan was literally an Obama pick to run ICE.

If nothing anyone does could possibly matter, what avenues are there to get rid of Citizens United?

In what way has this Taco truck charade been “effective”?

The defeat of German Nazism was not a foregone conclusion. It was the Soviets behind 70% of Nazi casualties that defeated German Nazism - at tremendous cost I might add.

Fascism isn’t some fad that inevitably falls out of fashion because people magically start seeing the contradictions, but a cancer that has to be militantly suppressed with utmost prejudice.

South Korea is an American vassal state. South Korea’s military is fully under the control of the US military. I know of no other purportedly sovereign country with such a setup.

And after you leave a voicemail, the rep will task an intern with spending 15 minutes clearing out all messages.

Dog, you can’t be lecturing people about their lack of understanding thermodynamics, and then mix up power and energy.
