We’re running into the paradox of tolerance real quick here folks. Democracies need to legislate limits to the political influence of rich idiots and soon, otherwise we’ll all end up like the US.

The choice is between elections ASAP and elections in October, which is 4 years from the last election.

The political calculation is therefore how much do you let the Liberals get completely eviscerated. Arguably, the longer Trudeau leads a lame-duck, ineffective and generally very unpopular government, the stronger the Conservatives will emerge. So cut your losses now, and hope for a Conservative minority government…

I for one support Israel’s right to defend itself by securing strategic points along the Ganges River. We are talking about threats mere kilometers from the Jewish communities established in the Israeli buffer in so-called Northern India, which Israel calls with the biblical name Hodu, witch attests the legitimate claims of the Jewish people on the land. Don’t heed the antisemitic slander of the delegitimizers of the only state in the Middle East. It is necessary to maintain territorial contiguity of the biblical land of Israel from the Atlas Mountains to the Ganges. /S

Hahahaha that’s golden

Really hope the EU ignores this and just slaps counter-tariffs. The US has military power, the EU has economic power. It does not unelastically depend on imports from the US, and has a huge internal market. Teach this fucker a lesson.

Meh, bullshit. Was there a credible threat of that happening?

If Germany decided to pull an Israel on him, I wouldn’t protest the German embassy.

Israelis in 10 years: “the terrorists hate us because we are Jewish”.

Motherfuckers created the conditions to prolong the cycle of violence for another generation or two and are still so far up their ass with their own victimization that they don’t even realize what they’ve done. Mind you, the original founders of Israel, the ones who survived the actual Holocaust, had more empathy for the Palestinians than these idiots. At least they, while performing the Nakba, recognized that their victims were people and cried some crocodile tears. This generation of Israelis refuse to even think of Palestinians as humans. They are not even hypocritical about it any more.

(Minus a brave minority that stands up for what’s right, and faces the abuse of the majority of course.)

Of course, PM Singh would be awesome but I suspect the bully to the south might make it a standing policy goal to fuck with us any chance he gets…

Frankly, given the Finlandization of Canada, a Conservative minority government, that depends on the votes of the Bloc to do anything is probably the best bet for Canada to survive the next four years of Trumpism. Trudeau definitely cannot lead, because Trump will never forgive him for making fun of him behind his back, and he’s a petty shit like that. Then we need a Conservative PM, so that Trump would not feel the urge to bully too much, but with the Bloc holding the government’s balls so the Conservative idiots don’t do anything too crazy. They would give PP an alibi like «sorry oh dear leader Trumpy overlord I would love to pass a law requiring every trans person to wear a purple triangle but you see my internal politics are a mess and I have to keep Québec from separating». Ideally the cons would lose most provincial governments too, so that PP is weak as fuck. Basically, we just need PP to be our beard.

Ignore what he says. This is all distraction and engagement/attention capital. Only what he does matters. Come on people, this isn’t our first Trump presidency. We know how he operates.

This is arguably the whole point of the war.

The entire USA was founded as a white supremacist state. Whites were supreme by at least 2/5ths…

Taking a line from Mitsotakis in Greece, eh? Greece Serbia Orthodox brothers and all that.

You don’t have to hate immigrants or be a racist to want your country’s borders safe and illegal immigration curbed.

That’s a fig leaf. I’m a 99.99% certain you’d be against making legal immigration requirements less demanding and legal immigration application procedures less lengthy and difficult. You’re against immigrants and you’re hiding behind the legality of strict immigration requirements imposed by the right to claim all you want is people to follow the (impossible if you’re not a Westerner) rules.

You’re describing the right.

The left is about addressing problems upstream. Address the injustices and inequalities that cause people to leave their countries in the first place.

Or do you really think the dream of people from the global south is to come live in the coldest, dampest, least fun climates of the earth? Given a chance at a good life they would gladly stay where their family, friends and culture are rooted.

“How dare you call us a settler colonial society.”

Yea I’m sure the Syrian Revolution was all a ploy of the Rothschilds. Nothing to do with any kind of agency by the Syrian people wanting to overthrow a brutal totalitarian regime. Just CIA conspiracies everywhere pulling people’s strings with psyops. Tankie Fukuyama-ism, man. Quite a thing to behold.

Grit your teeth and support the Hind Rajab Foundation. Justice might be slow but it will come.

A Syrian activist was saying that paradoxically it might have been the best outcome for Syria’s future. The rationale was that he will never now be a martyr or a rallying cry for loyalists. He will never evoke sympathy to his loyalists like Saddam or Gaddafi as the victim of angry haters. He’s always going to be the rich guy who betrayed them and left them alone to face the nation.
