"If I have no others way to [...] I would totally work in the Auschwitz showers".
Since we're this low on morality I'm sure you can also get a job in the Russian military or in the IDF. Who wouldn't mind stomping on some babies as long as you get some minor checks?
But that perspective matters a whole f** lot. Talking about a percentual mobilisation of people is quite relevant, you know, even if it's harder to organise a protest in a territory as vast as USA.
But I thought murica was the pinnacle of free speech? 😮
Absolutely! It's in the choice. You consciously choose to be part of the IDF, you aren't born into it, and thus it's not a hateful statement. You know, except for BBC weaklings
I think this is way too narrow. Following Marx? For sure, you're right.. but if you look at "Liberalism" - which can span anything from "taxes and government are literal hell" to "we support LGBT rights" - and "Conservatism" - which can span anything from Angela Merkel to Trump to follow-my-millenia-old-book-by-the-letter-or-I-will-murder-you - the word "Socialism" in the modern age can definitely contain nuances as well. For instance the main centre-left party in Denmark is called the "Social Democrats" then right to the left of it you have the "Socialist People's Party" - which is far less revolutionary than it sounds - and then you have a few other parties, including one identifying as "Communist" but which doesn't even really fight for any kind of revolution or the total elimination of class but recognises the requirement for collaboration and compromising when in power.
Stop pretending like Khamenei isn't a criminal. He's not just an angry old man because they're "facing an existential threat" he's a fuckwad through and through and no Iranian would shed a tear if he was shelled. Israel certainly started this iteration of the conflict but Khamenei and the regime has a rap sheet far longer than Trump's.
Yup, gonna have some trips around Southeast and East Asia as well as Australia and NZ.. probably Canada one day as well.
Especially Chile has some incredible landscapes I'd love to experience as well
The average Republican doesn't like Jews at all. By religious nuts, Israel is viewed as the guarantor of control over the Holy Land, and for slightly less religious nuts Muslims are just worse than Jews. Therefore anti-semitism is fine, not supporting the state of Israel isn't. Crazy world.
The difference between reality and movies is that the former is far crazier.
Here in Denmark - one of the US's closest allies for decades with a generally positive public opinion - America's reputation has absolutely tanked. Being at all supportive of USA basically reveals you as a stupid far-right nut. We just need our politicians to see this as well because the US reputation is fully dead here.
Sometimes every 2 or 3 months. Seemed like a reasonable time frame!
Nono, they roll out the red carpet for racist, trafficking rapists.
