I am not exaggerating at all. Israel is that bad, indeed it's worse than many of its neighbours. > And America are not in a war with Iran Bombing a country's nuclear infrastructure is surely an act of war. We're going to

That's my point though, that's not pragmatic in the slightest. It would be ruthlessly pragmatic to favour the 400M Arabs and 2B Muslims over the 10M Israelis. The Israeli economy is 0.5% of global GDP. > region isn't an

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza as we speak and is expanding settlements more and more in the West Bank. The end game of the Israelis is very clearly complete ethnic cleansing. Israel is no victim here, it's a settler coloniali

OK, but it isn't threatening to do. America is. You see the difference?

Jesus what nonsense. Russia isn't threatening to annex Canada, only the USA is. I don't understand this retarded American exceptionalism: we can threaten to annex you but you're not allowed to react or to care. I can'

Israel is the principal destabilising element in the Middle East. It cannot even be argued at this point. It's them, the Israelis.

And then for the same Americans who utterly despise Europe to declare how Europe has become a shithole due to refugees and boost support for our right wing populist parties.

It's quite the opposite of moronic to build more housing where there is demand.

I disagree completely. The revival of the Russian empire is not in the interest of Europe. In no universe would it ever be. It’s obvious really.

If you cared about Russian and Ukrainian lives then you would be arguing for Russia to leave immediately. Only Russia can end this war, by retreating back to the internationally recognised borders. Russia has "vital interests" th

Eh, money well spent tbh. Alternative, letting Russia just win, is worse. Give no quarter to fascism. We learnt that in the 30s. PS russia isn’t stronger lol.

Most atrocities are forgotten. I go most days without thinking about the atrocities committed by anyone. Except maybe currently Russia.

by twixfel 1y ago
You are trolling anyway and throwing standard fascist claims around about shilling and masters, whilst of course advocating for total non-intervention in Ukraine and letting Russia rape the country at its leisure. Also engaging since the

No, not at all. I meant to say Europe. The attack on Ukraine is an attack on Europe. I meant exactly what I said. > Additionally, there are historical reasons for what is going on between Russia and Ukraine And there are historical re

Yes. Defend Europe. There's a war in Ukraine, not sure if you've heard. Russia invaded Ukraine and is seeking to annex it. Hope that helps.

No. I don't care if Hungary doesn't want to defend Europe, but it shouldn't get in the way of others doing do. It shouldn't block sanctions, it shouldn't block funds going to Ukraine. Europe is under attack and H

> The US has done so many terrible things throughout history; they will survive this too. Right, because extrapolation is famously applicable to human history.

by twixfel 1y ago
Why put Hungary in scare quotes? It's right wing nationalist and undermining our (Europe's) defence against the ultrafascist Russian hordes invading from the East. It's not the same.

That's true of all taxes. It doesn't mean there shouldn't be any taxes. We should also be able to agree that taxing wealth is preferable to taxing income, at least morally, because hard work should pay a little bit more, an

by twixfel 1y ago
There has to be tax. It’s probably better and fairer to tax wealth than to tax income where possible. So yes tax homes more and income less.

Sounds like a huge waste of time to me.

You obviously are not alone. Sorry to break it to you.

by twixfel 1y ago
That’s a different point. Currently it has to be saved. It doesn’t matter how you feel about it. It’s the law.

The problem is that everyone knows tariffs don’t work. History will not be kind to trump nor his supporters.
145.
by twixfel 1y ago
Trump is responsible for his own election and is partly responsible for the division in the US, having made it much worse. He's not operating in a vacuum. He's not a force of nature, he's a person just like the rest of us a

> but I imagine Do you know at all or are you just relying completely on your imagination to justify the Trump admin's actions?
147.
by twixfel 1y ago
So Trump will be looked back on as a good president? Highly unlikely, I'd say. Trump is quite uniquely awful in the history of the US.

by twixfel 1y ago
I don’t know I think blaming trump for the things trump is doing is pretty straight forwards and the opposite of playing politics. >That's closer to what I'm getting at. However, what exactly is "this," though? Does i

Inflation isn’t high prices, it’s rising prices. You don’t know what inflation is it appears so I can scarcely take your proposed solutions seriously.
