Hamas launched their major offensive against several Israeli villages, nearly all civilians, including a rave party attended by hundreds of people in their 20s. Hamas brutally slaughtered ever single person they came across. Entire families, women, children, etc. In all, over 1,200 people died, the most Jewish victims since the Holocaust. For the past year, Israel has fought back. Israel gave up all claims to Gaza in 2005, and this event proved that the Palestinians cannot be trusted.2 points

You're blathering like Trump now. Try rereading your posts to see if they make sense. I realize it's hard to criticize someone for withstanding the scrutiny of a real interview when your candidate chickened out like a weak b!tch.2 points

A well-put description of the Trump’s incessant lies, most recently about Hurricane Helene. It’s not just the undisciplined ramblings a narcissist, it’s about destroying objective reality itself : Donald Trump has been one of the chief sources of the disinformation that has badly hampered recovery efforts. Trump has claimed that the federal government is ignoring the storm’s victims, especially ones in Republican areas, and that the government is handing out only $750 in aid (in fact, the initial emergency payment for food and groceries is $750, but there are multiple grants available for home rebuilding up to a total of $42,500, the upper limit set by Congress). He has also claimed—falsely—that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is out of money to help because the administration spent all its money on Ukraine and undocumented immigrants. Trump’s lies are not errors. They are part of a well-documented strategy to overturn democracy by using modern media to create a false political world. Voters begin to base their political decisions on that fake image, rather than on reality, and are manipulated into giving up control of their government to an authoritarian. … “The Democrats don’t matter,” Bannon told a reporter in 2018. “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with sh*t.” Keeping listeners constantly trying to defend what is real from what is not destroys their ability to make sense of the world. Many people turn to a strongman who promises to create order. Others will get so exhausted they simply give up. As scholar of totalitarianism Hannah Arendt noted, authoritarians use this technique to destabilize a population. … In his autobiography Mein Kampf, or “My Struggle,” Adolf Hitler wrote that people were more likely to believe a giant lie than a little one because they were willing to tell small lies in their own lives but “would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.” Since they could not conceive of telling “colossal untruths…they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.” He went on: “Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation.” … Now, though, their lies about the federal response to Hurricane Helene show that they are completely committed to disinformation. As Will Bunch noted today in the Philadelphia Inquirer, when Vance lied again at the vice presidential debate about the legal status of the Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and complained when moderator Margaret Brennan corrected him, he gave up the whole game. “Margaret,” Vance said, “the rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check.” He continued to argue until the moderators cut his microphone. Bunch points out that MAGA Republicans insist on the right to lie, considering any fact-checking “censorship,” a position to which Vance pivoted when Minnesota governor Tim Walz asked him if Trump won the 2020 election. Just as Russian political theorists advocated to overturn democracy, MAGA Republicans have created an alternative political reality, aided in large part by the disinformation spread on social media by X owner and Trump supporter Elon Musk. … https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-6-20242 points

cam't go blaming "western allies" NATO allies have been pouring aid into the area, attempted peace keeping missions and tried to push them into political solutions since the 1970s. Blame the Arab hard core for it's stubborn refusal to accept no solution but endless violence and terrorism.2 points

No he wasn't. The crime wasn't the same at all. Cohen was sentanced for criminal tax evasion. Trump has not been accused of tax evasion. Cohen was also sentanced for criminal campaign contributions. Trump was not accused of that at all. The charges are NOTHING REMOTELY like one another. Trump was charged with the misdemeanor of putting a payment under legal expenses when the court thinks it should have gone somewhere else. But he paid all his taxes and it wasn't a contribution. Its' not even a misdemeanor anywhere else in the country so it's not surprising nobody has ever been charged as trump was. The misdemeanor ONLY becomes a felony if it was done to hide another felony crime. And they did NOT HAVE TO PROVE that ANY such crime happened at all, and the jury didn't even have to agree on WHICH crime it might have been. This is a first in history. Sorry the op news story is just propaganda.1 point

I was fortunate to grow up in very multicultural areas, in fact more then once in primary my class was majority visible minorities, there were of course more white people than any other "ethnicity" but I don't think we represented 50% of the students. I've also lived and worked in smaller communities. 20 years I lived in Montreal (I just recently left) and even though I speak French very well, I still have an accent that immediately identifies me as an English speaker. So sometimes the first conversation I have with a local they immediately don't trust me, it doesn't take long for them to realize that, after all not all anglophones are evil and I'm originally from Toronto so I work directly for the devil, but that's what they've been taught from birth and there have been times I'm literally the first english person they've ever conversed with, they don't know any better. I think this is the same ignorance that leads to xenophobia (racism to call a spade a spade) and all the other isms. but I also sincerely believe that most people are good and given the opportunity to interact with people outside of the "us" they've been patterned to think the "they" are coming to get them, could and do often accept good people no matter their origins. Once you had a beer with a Muslim you realize pretty quick people are people So to me empathy is often my first instinct.1 point

The same holds for Trump except he actually explicitly articulates fascist ideas and rhetoric, man you're a dimwit. What the f*ck does this even mean lmao1 point

Exactly. And days gone by people held different political views and respected other people's right to do so and still thought well of the other person even if they disagreed Nowadays the left specifically teaches its adherence that it's not enough to disagree, you must hate the person for being evil and do all you can to harm them. This might include cutting them out of your life or attacking their work or attempting to harm them socially, whatever it takes to hurt them you do it. Because they disagree. And this is largely the tactic Hitler used. He taught people that everyone else who didn't agree with them or didn't have the same race as them was out to get them and it was perfectly acceptable to harm them if they can.1 point

No, trump's nomination in the primaries was challenged by Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld, former South Carolina congressman Mark Sanford and former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh. They had primary votes and everything. Fairly early on trump crushed them but people had a vote. So people absolutely voted for trump to be the nominee in 2020. And anyone on either side can do that even with an incumbent. Nobody sought to challenge Biden but they could have. And at least he won the nomination originally, so he was elected as the de facto candidate. But NOBODY was even given the CHANCE to challenge Kammy. There was no primary process, there was no opportunity for anyone else to run or be on the ballot, she's never even won a single primary vote before and had to cancel her campaign in 2020 because she had NO support. She wasn't even "elected" vp, biden just chose her on his own. So it's pretty hard to think of this as an 'election' when nobody else was allowed to run, nobody chose her as candidate or voted for her in a primary, nobody voted for her to be vp and no other choice was on the ballot. There would be some excuse if biden was too far gone with dementia (which he is) but then if that's their argument, why is he still president. Say what you like but i think you'll agree that's not exactly a very democratic process1 point

I'm talking about national policies allowing the 'exploitation of humans/labour' to such a great extent that it's no different from serfdom or slavery. Can illegals buy land or vote? It's weird to have such a 'deep understanding' of the lives of people in a book from 160 years ago but not see the parallels all around you.1 point

I am talking about Marx. Clear enough? Marx and sanctuary cities are not the same... no matter how you twist it.1 point
-
It does take some work to get past what we know about Stalin, Lenin, Mao, etc and evaluate Marx based purely on the context of his time. Marx was more of a philosopher and storyteller than anything. His work (while deeply flawed) has been misconstrued to the point where few actually know what Marx was trying to say. If you strip away the atrocities done in his name later on, you find that his theories were more about evolution than politics or government.1 point

He rambles about nothing. The prompter doesn't help him much because he can't read. I know he won the primary, but how come he didn't have enough respect for the voters to appear in a primary debate? He already proved he's the weakest president ever by having the election robbed from him while he was in office. Now he's scared to appear in public too?1 point

So you agree with everything I said but you have a bunch of excuses. But, let’s get one thing really straight here: Trump got convicted of 34 felonies because he broke the law. He wanted to cover up these payments and he did it to help his election and to avoid taxes. He deliberately categorized payments to a porn star as legal expenses. You want to make excuses but the truth is that he did commit those 34 felonies. Plain and simple.1 point

Yes. Everything Marx wrote was based on the underpinning that labor was the most important factor and inherently those who own the factories/businesses are inherently exploiting labor. My view is that you choose to work and therefore know what comes with it. If you do not want to be labor (the human that transforms raw inputs into finished outputs) then be self employed. Thousands do it every day. Again, I come at this from the economics standpoint being that I have 2 degrees in it and have read the book for an economics course.1 point

Just a reminder that you said the same thing about the woman in the OP who was hemorrhaging, so i don't trust you have the medical knowledge to make that assessment here. Fail. The woman who almost died from a sepsis infection after her water broke at 18 weeks and she was denied abortion care would probably beg to differ. In any case, once a significant medical problem has been identified it makes no sense to delay taking action until someone's life is actually hanging in the balance, which is what you are advocating. That's like finding out someone has a cancerous growth but putting off treating it until they hit Stage 4. lol you didn't read any of these links at all did you. Blackmon v. State of Tennessee was originally filed by the Center in September 2023 to clarify the scope of the medical necessity exception to Tennessee’s criminal abortion ban. The case was filed on behalf of three Tennessee women who, like the plaintiffs joining the case today, were denied abortion care despite dangerous pregnancy complications, and two Tennessee physicians who have been prevented from offering their patients the medically indicated treatment during obstetrical emergencies. Doctors in Tennessee face loss of licensure, fines, and up to 15 years in prison for violating the ban, yet its vague language and non-medical terminology have left doctors uncertain about when they are legally able to provide abortion care without being prosecuted. I didn't switch the subject I assumed you'd be at least smart enough to understand the underlying reasons why these women were denied care was the abortion laws, but I'll never make that mistake again. Sorry spazzy, the evidence is there for all to see. Abortion laws are completely unnecessary and draconian violation of individual rights to obtain medically necessary healthcare.1 point

Do you think he's actually talking about members of the Communist party here, you retarded mutt? this is the shittiest analogy possible. Gays are a specific group. When Trump is talking about communists and Marxists is not talking about people who are actually communists or Marxists. Hence why it's a pejorative. Like, you can't lecture me on english when you don't understand context clues or syntax. Or spelling. no, dummy. He's used it multiple times specifically to describe Harris and generally to describe anyone who isn't MAGA. Christ you're an ignoramus. Except in Trump's case, fascist is an accurate descriptor, not an insult. look at you 'sperging out with the emojis You not hearing him saying it is irrelevant to the fact he uses those terms all the time. Not our fault you ignorant of the world around you. I came up with multiple examples, actually, and I barely scraped the surface. You're spazzing out because you said never heard him uses those terms (implying that he doesn't use them) but it turns out he does all the time. But rather than accepting that fact with the tiniest bit of grace, you choose to humiliate yourself. Again.1 point

you would be the worst poker player in the history of the game.. You just admitted to wanting the last word. Not everything justifies a response and if you were an adult, you would know that. I dealt with someone like you last weekend at a town hall meeting. The meeting was to approve (or not) keeping a certain tax rate the same. When it came time for public comment.. this guy started spouting your type of rhetoric. We listened and said nothing. Why? Because it was not even close to being relevant to the topic. He finished and we moved on. Effectively ignoring him. To engage in an off topic discussion would be a waste of time and money. I know that you can't grasp that.1 point

What's funny is I actually read the communist manifesto before coming to the conclusion that I thought Marxism was a ridiculous economic system.

I did it precisely because i know you'd bring it up because you've been pretty open about how much it gets to you when people downvote your shitty posts.

You're dumb and I'm not dodging any questions, dummy. LOL you don't have an argument here. I pointed out that WestCan's bar for "violent incitement" is so incredibly low that the entire Republican party would fail to clear it but you're too stupid to understand the argument let alone refute it. Thats on you for being stupid. No dummy they want to hold him accountable over his attempts to overthrow the election, not for inciting his shithead supporters to riot. lol nope.1 point

Let me start by pointing out that the combined intellectual strength of the entire Little Turd cabinet could even read and understand this bill - nor do I see much from the other side of the floor that could do much better. I strongly suspect and suggest this is coming from VIDO / CFIA who are the government bureaucracy that does a FANTASTIC job of making our food supply in Canada truly safe. This will go back to the BSE outbreak where US feed infected Canadian herds - that the US could deny because they simply didn't look for it. I am well known to enjoy attacking the incredible amount of waste and incompetence in government and a certain party now in power, but this is NOT a bill that I can see some agenda buried in....except to provide a mechanism for a critical agency to be able to do their job in an emergency situation with effect.1 point
