Read closer, they’re criticizing Netanyahu for not being pro-war enough. Not all of them are infected, but Israel is a lot worse than even America in this regard.

I can’t find anything about her calling herself a socialist, but she’s definitely to the left of most European politicians. Of course she’s working from a less development and more rightwing starting point so her policies seem like common sense to Europeans, but equating her with folks like the SPD based on that would be wrong. You don’t really get this kind of anti-neoliberal, overt social democracy from mainstream European parties anymore.

Even the Nazis weren’t “a whole nation of genocidal maniacs.” In both Israel and Nazi Germany there is/was opposition to the atrocities committed by their leadership, just not enough. In Israel in particular “do you support comically evil thing” polls tend to get 60-80% support, except the Iran war which at its outset had 93% support. That’s not a whole nation of genocidal maniacs; that’s a nation of mostly genocidal maniacs.

They should do it with oil to keep the metaphor.

and lack of redeeming qualities

Counterpoint: When one is running a comically evil global empire, incompetence becomes a redeeming quality.

But why do you want it all without normal processes?

You’re missing the point. Plenty of Americans do have ancestry that allows them to claim citizenship (and therefore easily immigrate) somewhere or another, so the first thing an American trying to immigrate will be told is to check for that. Making it clear they can’t do that is important so they can get advice they can actually use.

Yes, as opposed to all those super democratic capitalist third world countries.

I meant non-bitcoin crypto. I’m not 100% clear on this, but AFAIK there are less energy-intensive coins.

The politics of the thing aside, couldn’t they have found a currency that doesn’t burn fucktons of energy?

De-nazification doesn’t mean “kill all Nazis;” it means “make people stop being Nazis.” If you have a cheap and efficient method for that, I’m all ears.

Are those people actually making trouble for Trump and co or are we talking glorified parades here?

Too busy jacking off to the image of dead brown kids and oil. And I’m not only talking about Republicans.

I mean obviously not, but either way it’s not an act of hate, racism, xenophobia or fascism. It’s the whole war crime part that’s problematic, is my point.

Uh I don’t think “praise be to Allah” is an act of hate, racism, xenophobia and fascism, but also if the goal is to “push the bar back to where it belongs” then clearly it’s not working. Maybe consider doing something about the hate, racism, xenophobia and fascism?

I mean no? Obama was evil as fuck, but at least in terms of raw numbers Trump has him beat. Biden would be a more realistic comparison.

And Afghan weddings, don’t forget Afghan weddings.

You seem to fundamentally misunderstand what conservatism is. According to Wikipedia,

Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy and ideology that seeks to promote and preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values.

This means that the injustices inherent to these things are also fiercely protected. It’s impossible to support such a thing wholesale (or basically wholesale) and be “nice.”

We need to clean house to show the world we’re done being the evil empire.

Except the US is clearly not done being the evil empire. On either side of the aisle.

Not like other US war criminals were punished. Trump could live another century and not see even a slap on the wrist for his crimes abroad.

Have you thought about the sheer retardation of modern copyright law today?

Yeah America’s track record (even before Trump for the libs in the back) does not imply respect for international or even American humanitarian law. Pete Hegseth can kiss my ass if even a single pilot refuses to drop the bombs.
