“As the committee has learned, when you scrutinise and follow the billions of US investor dollars flowing to CCP-controlled Chinese enterprises, courtesy of reckless Wall Street firms, it leads to nowhere good in many instances,” he said.

That’s just the free market doing what it does! What are you? A bunch of commies? A bunch of commies trying to interfere with the invisible hand? Do you hate freedom?!?

People are calling Ukraine a nazi state because it is full of nazi apologists, is full of nazi symbolism, their national heroes are nazis, their military is full of nazis, they parade genocidal SS members in foreign governments, and so on. Plenty of people here speak on the tragedy that Ukrainians are experiencing but that doesn’t mean you ignore the nazis, who at a minimum served as the tail ‘wagging the dog’ of the Ukrainian state escalating violence in the conflict with the DPR and LPR, cascading into the war.

No one is saying Russia = communist. By that logic, Ukrainian history also would imply it as being communist, they have just as much a right to that legacy as Russia. Talking for myself, I am mostly horrified at the complete acceptance and triumphalism that nazis have received in the west in the past couple of years. I imagine most users of this site feel the same way. I repeatedly talk with people IRL about this conflict that goes into history and context for why Russia is not insane nor evil for this war, despite it still being a tragedy, and I get a lot of people who call me a putinbot, tankie, or some equivalent thought terminating cliche.

I think a lot of people have chosen a side because we have not been meaningfully allowed a voice to advocate for peaceful diplomatic measures. Calls for peace and diplomacy are met with accusations of russian propaganda. Nazi membership is merely russian propaganda now. So, for many, these are the sides and you have to choose one or the other and some US leftists are choosing revolutionary defeatism, sometimes it has a more vulgar pro-russia/anti-nazi stance but it’s wayy better than the vulgar pro-nazi stance lmao.

At that point why wouldn’t you just hire an expensive matchmaker. Who is this for?

I’ve been waiting for Kendrick to say something about Palestine. I’m glad that at least someone did. Hip hop has needed a bigger voice putting something like this out imo.

Goyim Defense League

If I run into a nazi and he tells me that he’s part of the Goyim Defense League I would assume I was being pranked. Sounds like something out of a Mel Brooks movie

Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst Thälmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, Thälmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis.

Why did he see mainstream liberals as his enemy?

Why did he see liberals as his enemy, motherfucker!?!?

Bringing out the Clintonian classics. Love to see the concept of “order” to justify draconian actions of the state… again.

Also this:

In his remarks Thursday, Biden also criticized “those who rush in to score political points” from the protests, saying that “this isn’t a moment for politics, it’s a moment for clarity.”

WHEN IS IT TIME FOR POLITICS YOU FUCKING MONSTER? God fucking damn it. Genocide isn’t political! Crushing protests isn’t political! Don’t force the president to do politics, it’s not his job!
