Trump warned he will impose additional tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they band together to “do economic harm” against the United States.
Get @#$%ed, Trump. Good read. Short but detailed about how partnered we are already and what our next priorities should be
Hungary is in the EU, but they’re white so it doesn’t bother you.
@[email protected] said those countries are authoritarian, and your response is to say “so is this one, and you’re racist”?
You’re not even denying Sunshine’s claim, you’re just redirecting to a different topic and attacking the beliefs you prescribed to someone else. Just strawmen and ad hominem attacks. Nice.
Comparing Hungary to China and Russia is like comparing a mosquito to a rabid dog. Yes, Hungary is annoying within the EU, has undemocratic tendencies and Orban should be dealt with, but Russia and China are full on authoritarian regimes. You know this, so you are either a troll or a shill.
A tankie. To her credit, though, sometimes she makes good points about topics related to communism like class warfare and how exploitative capitalism is. This was not one of those times, unfortunately.
Just a really bad shill take of supporting the authoritarian-“communist” countries that conveniently ignore the communist ideals of no hierarchical power structures and being run by the people.
Here’s the baseless accusation out of nowhere and no I do not like Hungary as Orban has been cracking down on press freedom, persecuting lgbtq+ folks and has been consistently enabling Putin’s crimes against humanity.
Why won’t you apply the same standard to the EU that you do to BRICS?
If BRICS is bad because Russia bad, surely EU is bad because Hungary bad?
Let’s just say that your comparison holds such a large inequivalence and hence makes the questions absurd. Maybe it’s just genuine ignorance or maybe something else…
The other countries are also not well known for upholding human or civil rights
Are Brazil or South Africa any worse than Canada?
Also, let’s not forget the human rights abuses of France in Africa. Formal colonialism might have ended, but neocolonialism continues. France continues to reap the natural resources and exploit the labor of its “former” colonies. Although the recent government changes in the Sahel region might finally kick France out of Africa, and then we’ll see how much they respect human rights.
Also? Let’s not ignore the way asylum seekers are being treated throughout the rest of Europe.
But maybe you don’t care about that either. They’re not white, after all.
so you’re saying Russia and China are totally not presently pillaging Africa then?
Classic whataboutism. We’re not talking about the former colonies here nor asylum seekers. And you are completely out of it. You’re not seeing that colonialism and asylum seekers aren’t the point as they’re persecuted outside their country for the latter or being persecuted by an outside force for the former. In the authoritarian BRICS regimes it’s internal persecution towards their own people. It’s not about skin color.
Also yes Brazil and SA are muchhhhh worse than Canada. Have you been? Clearly not. Cause going in a supermarket in Rio with heavily armed guards on alert cause you’re white which means a robbery could take place any moment targeting you or in SA having to take an uber down the street to not get assaulted and robbed? Yeah.
