Your foreign minister applauds Israel for mass killing children, your rising AfD party wants to deport Muslims and you now demand that anyone becoming a Germany citizen give the racist state of Israel a stamp of approval. Everyone watched half your politicians blame the Christmas ramming attack on Islam even though the perpetrator hated Muslims. You send a non-Jewish antisemitism commisars to bully Jews who criticize Israel. You are burying liberalism’s corpse. So enlighten me.
It’s not strictly a fact check. Due to A) Haiti’s governance collapse and B) no reliable estimate of conditions of life across all North Korea
Ask Ron DeSantis, he might now.
Not included is that they fucking blew up the buildings.
In Germany, they view extremist politics as anything to do with Islam, so if you promote the expulsion of Muslims or their reeducation or forcing them to sign pledges to Israel to become citizens, you’re just being German.
Mohammed was subjected to simulated drowning, or “waterboarding”, 183 times while held in secret CIA prisons following his arrest in 2003. Other so-called “advanced interrogation techniques” included sleep deprivation and forced nudity.
Sounds totally legit and he should definitely be executed on that information despite the guilty plea he signed after 20 years of being tortured.
Fucking evil rats, all of them. Reichstag rodents.
Maybe. But then again, I saw many “Trump things” become Biden and bipartisan things, from tariffs on China to Golan Heights annexation.
Those are fair points. Greenlanders who want independence generally want to remain a NATO member nation. The main issue is that they’ll face political and economic pressure from the US. They have the population of Manhattan… Kansas! I don’t see how they have a chance in hell at remaining sovereign if the US approaches them. It’s one thing to have social welfare from a nation you have contentious relations with, another to be promised millions by US megacorporations and Congress.
I don’t think so. I think that the old MAGAts running the Pentagon think it’s a good idea and Trump is oushing the Overton window for them. I can easily see a path toward US incorporation or domination of Greenland that does from US-backed Greenland independence to strategic and economic alliance to US domination and eventual Peurto Rico kind of status. It would all be political. Denmark can’t stop that actually.
Trump is a fucking idiot. He should just proclaim support for Greenland’s independence and offer the tiny population some great economic and diplomatic deals to get his way.
To play devil’s advocate: Greenland has only like 60,000 people. It’s bigger than the France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, Belgium and Greece combined. It is also seeking independence because they aren’t interested in being ruled by a random small European country that tried to sterilize them and steal their resources. Denmark has slowly caved-in to their independence demands because it wasn’t interested in being a colonial power. Now it just holds on to it on behalf of NATO.
From a nation-state’s point of view, this is an unihabited land with era-defining strategic and economic significance.
The US military has an impossible nut to crack with China. It recognizes that climate change will happen, but is going to position itself to come out ahead from it (if it doesn’t destroy us all). It’s not confident that it will maintain the global relevance it has today by the mid-21st century.
Why not smash and grab while you can? Create Greater Israel, destroy Iran, take Greenland, control the Panama canal, and most likely give Australia nuclear weapons (and perhaps Japan but not likely). Tell the UN and other international institutions to fuck off if they stop serving your national interests. Turn Europeans into vassal states.
That’s the post-liberalism future lf America that I see.
It’s not far right fascist. It is liberal Zionist. Liberals can and have been genocidal too. Liberal Zionism is incompatible with humanism or universal values.
A controversial aspect of A. G. Sulzberger’s vision for the NYT was reported on in a podcast deep dive into anti-trans bias at the paper by TransLash Media in 2024. TransLash reported A. G. sought to shift the paper’s reputation for being politically aligned with liberals in order to add more conservatives to the subscriber base. The link between the desire at the top to court conservative audiences and anti-trans bias in the coverage remains unproven, and the New York Times has declined to comment on the reporting about A. G.’s audience strategy, to TransLash then, or to Assigned now.
It’s not a huge mystery. Sulzberger is an old, white, Jewish man. He has read the room and realized that the progressive movement that formed and became prominent over the Obama years is a threat to billionaires, media moguls and the racist ideology of Zionism. The three things he best represents. That’s why he filled the op-ed page with midwits like Bret Stephens.
Is this “found dead” as in “we shoot everyone we come across?”
It has gotten so worse that the “anti-fascist” choice helped commit a holocaust that the fascists want to finish.
The entire US conservative establishment is waging a holy crusade against anyone who opposes their Israeli alter ego’s Biblical bloodlettings. You’d think they had no problems to handle at home.
It’s a win-win for them. They can let genocidally anti-Muslim rhetoric on while keeping their selectively pro-Israel content policy, getting support from the burgeoning far right in the US and Europe while suppressing the anti-establishment element of it that happens to be the most anti-semitic and anti-Israel, and avoiding the scrutiny of the AIPAC-bought Congress and White House that they’re letting hatred of Israel proliferate by letting Palestinians use the platform.
The article mention management position quotas
It’s actually amazing how the 2020 Biden win was the perfect setup for Trump to get the term he really wanted. Had Trump won in 2020, he and the GOP would be in utter shambles right now and 2024 would have been a landslide for whoever the Dem candidate was, and there’s a good chance the world would look better than it does now too
You seem to have misunderstood what I said. I’m not saying these terrible things are just being German. I’m saying that the current government and political class doing these terrible things view these things as “just being German” and define extremism as “being Islamic”. I know that the majority of Germans are liberals, humanists, educated and anti-racist.
