Oh no! This candid human moment between two men is surely proof of liberal embrace of fascism! How could I have been so wrong as to not see it when it's so simple and the proof is in this photo!
Ikr, for all we know Obama is laughing at him.

Actually sweatie there's no difference between liberals and conservatives, Trump isn't doing anything the LIBS wouldn't have done and minorities are no worse off than they were before, also Bernie is controlled opposition and a shitlib
/s
Literally had me going…
Here I go again, taking the bait.
- Trump put the lie to the Democrats' claims about wanting to end the war in Gaza
- The Democrats would never dare to upset Capital like Trump just did. (Trump will of course always capitulate in the end as he has done here)
- Bernie is old and tired. He says a lot of the right things but he keeps trying to work within the fully captured DNC.
- Minorities in the imperial core are surely worse off. It remains to be seen if Trump's attacks on the soft power apparatus are sufficient to free the Global South from Western exploitation. (I am aware there is some actual aid in there with the labor suppression, coups and propaganda media. Both seem to be being dismantled)
- I doubt anyone could destroy USA's international prestige and credibility as quickly as Trump has

lolwut. The guy literally said that Israel should "finish the job".

Lina Kahn has left the room.
- Bernie is old and tired. He says a lot of the right things but he keeps trying to work within the fully captured DNC.
Which is only fully captured because anti-electoralists/accelerationists approach to changing the party has been "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas".

"Cut one and we all bleed."
I really think that "the imperial core" is pretty cringe, considering the imperialistic expansionist policies of the "AES" states (the big two are not socialist states). Both Russia and China are also driving hard on exploiting the global South and erosion of US soft power results in reducing checks on that as well as increasing the possibility of further hot wars.
Adding to that, removal of funding for vaccination and other health initiatives is a net negative for the global South. Really seems that you're less supportive of developing nations and more just wanting the West to lose, even if it means everyone else in the world is wise off.
Forget it, Jake. It's .ml town.

Trump did Capital a favor by A. Dismantling Consumer Protection Agencies B. Destroying regulations left and right C. Doing a 180 on coal and oil D. Dismantling labour laws
Surely the dems are just as bad.
- Minorities in the Imperial core are worse off. Hey, at least you can acknowledge that
Now, i am sure People in global south are happy about finally not having access to Aids medication or famine relief :) cool.
Now they can just safely drop into the arms of Russian or Chinese Influence. Like we have seen in West Africa, where the situation for people has improved by exactly 0% since the dictators in power are now backed by Russia.
Trump ended the war in Gaza? Funny, to my knowledge, the genocide is continuing.

I certainly agree that all those policies favor Capital.
Surely the dems are just as bad.
The Democrats haven't struck a real blow against Capital since FDR. The pattern is basically: they do something small with great fanfare, leave a bunch of carve outs for friendly interests, then roll over once there is any resistance. I invite you to provide a counter example from the past 70 years

Glad we agree.

This has been discussed elsewhere in this thread. Here's a fun piece to add: Which president started the global AIDS initiative?

Do we actually know what the material conditions are on the ground in the new Sahel states? Seems we have been subject to a media blackout about it. I'm personally cautiously optimistic because of their strong stance against neocolonialism but we have very little information. It's also worth pointing out that despite Russia and China being close strategic allies at the world level, their foreign policies are wildly different.

What's actually funny is how the libs in this thread keep missing my actual point. I definitely never said he ended the war, but he did get the ceasefire done that Joe Biden claimed to have been working on for years. Donald Trump claims to not give a shit about the Palestinians yet got the ceasefire done. Joe "Proud Zionist" Biden claims to care about the plight of the Palestinians yet did less to end their suffering. The point is that Democratic lip service is often worse or equivalent to the Republicans' more honest cruelty, especially in foreign policy
The "new" sahel states are going great: In Mali, Wagner Troops shoot civilians, Malian Refugees get raped while trying to cross the border into Niger and there are still large scale famines. Elections have been abolished, because Goïta just knows best.
In Niger, the nationalization of the Uranium Mines was never fully realized, instead it's used as an insurance policy for the new Junta to stay in power. As long as foreign Powers acknowledge the legitimacy of the Junta, they can keep extracting Uranium. The main trigger for this coup wasnt "anti-neocolonialism", but the impending replacement of Tchiani as Head of the Presidential Guard. This guard conducted a coup and to noones surprise, the new Head of State is now Tchiani.
In Guinea, the current Junta first claimed, they'd hold elections in 2024 to transition back to civilian government. Now they claim to do in 2026. Meanwhile, they are busy pardoning convicted warcriminals (copying the trump playbook here). Economically, no improvement has happened.
Let's go to Burkina Faso: Wagner is incapable of holding the insurgency back. Djibo, supplied by air lift until the expulsion of the French Airforce, is right now turning into Leningrad. Traoré's initial reason for both his coups and the expulsion of the French was a lack of success in repelling this Islamic Insurgency. The situation is now worse than it has been in 2021. Oh, and again, Elections were pushed back until 2029.
They replaced French Neocolonialism with Russian Neocolonialism, called it liberation and then its business as usual. Top down oppression, selling off natural resources in order to finance your own grip on power and maybe a different flavor of ethnic violence.
Regarding the ceasefire: One had already happened under Biden and the plans and terms for this one were also hammered out under Biden. Netanyahu deliberately held out. Now, this second ceasefire was also violated numerous times which didnt even draw any reaction from the Trump government.
Democratic limp dicked "support" for Palestinians got Aid sent into the strip and atleast preserved a veneer of trying to solve the crisis. Trump on the other hand got his ceasefire and then dipped. Oh wait, he did not dip. He called several times for the complete expulsion of all Palestinians, has encouraged the Knesset and after Israel continued its invasion, the White House issued statements supporting this.
To pretend that this admin, which is now actively and wholeheartedly supporting every action the IGF is taking, is even on the same level as the Biden admin, is laughable.

Can't tell if you're pretending to be maga or tankie
Is there a difference?
Thank fuck there's some sense on this platform.
Edit: 🤣 Lemmy never fails me!
Tankies at least aren't as racist, I guess.
Take a deeper look into the genocides the Communist countries did and are still doing. It's very uncommon that a genocide isn't racist.

I noticed this year before already too, and if you look at the graphs it's just impossible to understand how much of an idiot you have to be to vote Republican.
Then Sarah Palin came by and it really showed bottom of the barrel, or so I thought.
Now we're here....
I mean, Clinton just happened to be the ass in the seat when the Dotcom boom hit...
Every economic action he took led us to today's shit show, especially campaign finance reform
And Biden was the ass in the seat after COVID.
Stop acting like people who actively and quantifiably worse were great just because their poor policy wasn't bad enough to stop things they had zero control over.
Blind worship is for Republicans
Clinton raised taxes on the wealthy and cut defense spending, also boosted the earned income tax credit. All of which helped get money moving. But Gramm-Leach-Bliley was a Bad Idea, and NAFTA deeply flawed.
