jk, ‘Bothsides’ types would have immediately denounced the BBC as a mouthpiece of US imperialism.
Wow, and here I thought he was an old guy with a stutter getting flustered while a fascist fuckwad spewed inane garbage.
After stalling just long enough to make it a problem that won’t be resolved before the election. Wonderful.
Sharply more Americans than 20 years ago say antisemitism is a very serious problem, as Jewish Americans’ reports of poor treatment exceed those of other faith groups.
This is very deeply concerning, especially since Jewish-Americans, statistically speaking, are more likely to be friendly to the Palestinian cause and critical of the Israeli government than non-Jewish Americans. It suggests that there’s more than just the element of “CRITICISM OF ISRAEL IS ANTISEMITISM” peddled by Israeli simps.
584·2 days agoI’m honestly at the point where I would be more surprised if Israel didn’t abuse him in custody. That’s not to downplay the seriousness of this - only to highlight the consistency of the depravity of Israeli security forces when dealing with Palestinians.
Israel’s claims at this point are similar to Russia’s - whenever I hear them, I generally assume the opposite is true. You only get so many lies before people start seeing a pattern.
atrophy against fascism is just as bad as active fascism

If you have a sense of pattern recognition, I’m sure you’ll realize this. Eventually.
In general one shouldn’t be welcoming to authoritarians, no.
I would point out that CNN has become increasingly right leaning this past decade, but I recognize your username as one of the unfortunate few right-wing types that has inexplicably decided to dip your toes into the Fediverse.
Don’t really think you’re welcome here.
You think the left could somehow do worse than biden.
Yes, the left could electorally do worse than Biden, because I live in a very right-wing country. Sorry that you don’t pay attention to US affairs.
You suspect that progressives could possibly do worse than your decrepit neoliberal king. How is that an incorrect reading of your post?
That’s not what ‘view with suspicion’ means. Don’t worry - my opinion of your intellectual honesty isn’t any higher than my opinion of your reading comprehension.
Of course you view the left with suspicion.
In fact, I’m filled with the suspicion that Bernie or another progressive Dem would be in the same spot, or worse, as Biden is currently.
Stellar reading comprehension, as always.

Into 1943 voluntary enlistment for young men was disallowed to prevent those with valuable skillsets from going into the military.
At the moment, no, because Bernie or another progressive Democrat isn’t in the spotlight.
If Bernie or another progressive took Biden’s place?
I’m not entirely discounting the idea that the American people could surprise me. But talking to ordinary voters, I’m not exactly filled with hope that there’s a secret cabal of super-compassionate left wing votes waiting to be activated by the right candidate. In fact, I’m filled with the suspicion that Bernie or another progressive Dem would be in the same spot, or worse, as Biden is currently.
And regardless of whether a progressive would perform better electorally, the fact remains that Trump is not a valid alternative to anyone with any hint of foresight.
Ernest said he was handing over the reigns to someone else soon. I’d like to give them a chance before I bail on Kbin. I really like Kbin.
I’m gonna give Kbin a little while longer to get its shit together, but if need be, I’ll swap to Lemmy.world in the near future.
Good. Macron created this disaster trying to renew his mandate to rule like a Graeco-Roman god; the least he could do is put in the bare minimum to help unfuck it.
