The Gazan War was so cynically manipulated to votes against Harris that it makes you think if that was all planned too.

Appeasing Trump isn't the thing you should be worried about. If you think he's the Hitler of this history, you're vastly misremembering what kind of a person Hitler was.

Vladimir Putin is the source of all of it. He's the one who put Trump into power, now twice. He's the one who's creating all the trouble in Europe and USA. He removed UK from EU. He started a major land war in Europe and is alone playing with the idea of extending the war. I wouldn't be surprised if he instigated the Gaza War. He's the one you must not appease.

Trump is just his toy. We should be manipulating Trump, against his master.

Idk about that second bit.

I mean I'm sure some of them are pining for the time when communism was still in power. Kind of traditional.

Lemmy is open, and that unfortunately means that it's easy and cheap to abuse.

From the very beginning of the terms “Left” and “Right” to describe the political spectrum, which originated in pre-revolutionary war France, the Left has always been about freedom from Tyranny and the Right has been pro-government (ruling class) control.

This got complicated however in early 1900s with political philosophers like Friedrich Hayek and others, after which Right can have meant liberalism and as such also anti-government.

The absolute numbers are on your side certainly, but you don't generally win wars by the number of deaths. For instance, the current Russian Fascists would have lost the Ukraine war by now if that was true. Also in the Vietnam War, USA caused way more casualties but completely lost the war. Both wars in Afghanistan, same thing. Latest US invasion to Iraq wasn't exactly a victory even though they killed a lot of people there.

Also, we are not yet in the phase where communists are killing nazis. We're currently in the phase where communists are de facto allied with the fascists against liberals and centrists. Like -- if you remember your history -- happened also in the 1900s before Hitler backstabbed Stalin.

I mean if you murder somebody, you should probably expect your privacy to be violated somewhat.

You know what I meant, don't deliberately misunderstand.
