I trust Trump about as far as I can throw him, and at the end of the day it's really the Pentagon calling the shots here not the POTUS.

But dudes clearly speaking to a public sentiment here.

American electoral-brained mouth breathers are no different than monkeys

monkeys

Let's avoid the racially charged insults

Genuinely curious how you injected race into a completely innocuous point where I made no claims about race whatsoever. This honestly reads like concern trolling

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Cuz there's a pretty well documented history of black people being compared to primates to paint them as primitive and backwards.

You’re projecting what you want to be true. Monkeys behave by instinctively reacting to the leader lmfao this is actually a great example of the reasons why leftists continually have infighting and fail, you hyper focus on a minute aspect of something completely unrelated to the point

And the people who instinctively upvote this virtue signaling bullshit? Lmfao no different

Lol I don't WANT it to be true that historically black people have been compared to monkeys to paint them as undeveloped and savage. To me it's in the same vain as people calling Russians "orks".

You are projecting so fucking hard right now, monkeys exist independent of whatever use they had as a tool to dehumanize people in the past. And humans share a common ancestor with monkeys and when they don’t use their brains to think, that primate comes out.

Anti-intellectualism is quite the hill to die on, especially when veiled in some silly moral posturing

I'd argue refusing to acknowledge the historical context in which such an insult has been used is the real anti-intellectual act.

Translation: Stop resisting or we will keep killing you.

A threat.

Read between the lines based on his past behavior. "Getting it settled" means "Just give everything to Putin". It's like solving the gay marriage debate by just taking away gay marriage.
