It only takes one or two on your foe list to make this a much more rational and functional discussion.

It's funny that FM AttackChimp 3 pages ago was like "there's no way leftists believe any of that right!?" and then here we are.

Or maybe it's not a leftist position at all. Seems closer to Ron Paul or Tulsi Gabbard in some ways.

I mean, there's the illusion of leftist goals at the end of the road they're advocating we take, but that road is not the road any human should ask other humans to travel to get to the other side.

IOW I think it's a foolish and juvenile leftist who wants to further current violence in the name of a "better" outcome. AKA accelerationism.

i have been saying the same thing and got accused of policing others' speech on here.

He didn't partially blame them. ...and yes, that's exactly how it went.

Damn, I thought it was On Point...

No, he entirely blamed Ukraine. But I don't it was solely his desire to please Putin.

I think some people here have be advocating using violence in self defence. IMO this is more than fine, the right should not think they have a monopoly on violence. But there is a massive difference between giving a chud a good whipping in self defence and going out to actively cause violence as a political tool.

There is a grey zone, when does "the best defence become a good offence". But even so, that to me would be something like beating a fascist hipster that thought their <insert here> privilege would protect them from opening their trap or hold up some shitty sign to Own the Libs.

There is nothing wrong with punching a Nazi, if you are comfortable doing that, but starting violence as a political tool against ideas is bad politics.

Trump just threatened Governor Mills. The state of Maine will not overturn pro-trans law, so he threatened to withhold ALL federal funds until they do.

The problem with the foe list is you can see their replies when someone quotes them. Altho, in this case, I think it helps reinforce why I'm using it lol.

FFS sake. It must be fucking exhausting being used as a political football for just wanting to live your life how it makes you feel happy.

I kind of enjoy that feature/bug... you get to keep up with people on your list without keeping up with people on your list.

Watching Trump talk about Ukraine was cringe. He's clueless and deliberately wrong at the same time. He's gaslighting everyone on it, republicans and democrats. It's amazing to see how quickly all the republicans throw out their principles if they don't align with Trump. He even said he didn't know if China was in the BRICS and that they BRICS somehow recently just fell apart. Dude is so out of the loop and winging it just like last time, but no adults are in the room this time around.

Canada just kicked into gear policies to remove their dependence on the US and become an alternative hub to America. It's astonishing to watch our allies abandon us. Maybe you could call Trump a genius for breaking the post-war alliances and doing so so easily. I'm not entirely sure how that works in our favor, though.

At least, when the US Empire is officially fallen, it'll be with Trump at the helm. He's certainly accelerating it. That's the only positive I can imagine coming out of this.

I was waiting for this. He's going to hold all funding to states until they do his bidding. It's disgusting.
