My concern is that they’ll further weaken the already pathetic judicial process for deportation (justifying it by saying it speeds up the process “and we have so many cases to get through”) and citizens who get swept up by the machine won’t have a chance to prove their citizenship. Because when the REAL goal is oppression and elimination of a minority group, “accidentally” deporting a few hundred citizens is a feature not a bug.

If it gets that bad, your only hope is to have your documents on you at all times and hope that you’re lucky enough for the boots on the ground to walk past you because of it.

I could be wrong, but isn’t the “not annexing” because he doesn’t recognize it as a separate territory in the first place?

Which almost everyone willing to vote for him would fucking hate if they weren’t too dumb to notice.

Kyle Rittenhouse of all people recently called out Trump as being bad for the second amendment, and the folks on the right retaliated by accusing him of being trans

Seriously, there were people analyzing photos of him “proving” that he was born female. And when he retracted his comment, they dropped the whole thing.

It’s fucking wild

I’m quite sure you don’t understand how it works.

Just setting up plausible deniability against accusations of helping trump.

it’s not like logical consistency matters to them.

In fact, fascists see the ability to just say whatever gets them the most power in the moment as a strength. They’re not held back by “weaknesses” like truth and facts

All that matters to them is power

What’s funny is that i interpreted the changes shown in the meme as making it softer on Israel. First edit removes the reference to the school, second edit changes the number of people killed from a big number “over 100” to a fuzzy amount “scores” that is easier to underestimate.

It’s since added that information back in, but in the meme it looks like it’s trying to make Israel look as not-bad as possible.

Gotcha. Very valid point.

People love looking at the first civil war in conversations like this, but the next civil war is going to be nothing like it. For a likely comparison, you’d have to look at the Spanish Civil War and The Troubles in Ireland.

Americans have no fucking clue what they’re asking for.

Us: We think about you all the time!

Corporations: Funny, because we don’t think of you ever.

It’s very well documented that Lenin returned to Russia from exile with the help of Germany, and made significant use of German money and military supplies during the revolution. He even got shit for it from his own communist party. He kept in their good graces by promising to start a communist revolution in Germany next. Funny how that one never quite got off the ground…

And then the Nazis came to power, arrested all the communists, and eventually broke the alliance with the ussr.

The info’s pretty easy to find, Google will get you some good articles about it.

After all, they were allies before Hitler betrayed Stalin.

You’re using this to support your argument that authleft = authright, but you’re forgetting that Lenin was an agent of Germany. The alliance between Germany and Russia predates both Hitler and Stalin, and had nothing to do with whether their governments were similar in any way.
