“Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon”

The liberal veneer of civility goes away in the moment you criticize their idols.they cant fathom somebody that doesn’t like mr joe “saviour of the world” biden or mrs kamala “sent here by god himself” harris since they live in political ecochambers, so the only possibile explanation is that Russia pays a bunch of people to post normal people’s opinions online (most people are not hardliner diehard democrats)
I think we need more govt subsidies to green tech and less subsidies to the fossil industry, i don’t care if it’s all a big 8d chess move to make us all speak Mandarin Chinese, the important bit is not dying rn.
The United states used military power to defeat the slavers in the south(and to get their independence in the first place), and the allies used military power to crush nazi Germany and their fascist allies. Not every use of military force is unwarranted or “immoral”
The Mediterranean has a right to defend itself! Are you anti-seamitic?
No wonder, all far-right projects like his need a common enemy to unite against. If there’s none, just buy one.
They’re on that killing whistleblowers and making weapons that murder innocents grindset
Well, they’re doing it, and there are (at least, that we know of) 8 US military bases and over 11k US military personnel on Italian soil, they killed civilians with impunity more than one time.
For example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Cavalese_cable_car_crash
They’re usually tried in US courts where they’re handed a slap on the wrist and Italian courts can’t do anything about it.
The fact that a worker who barely makes ends meet pays 10-20 times the taxes Amazon pays is… Fascinating in a dark way.
Similar to feudal peasants that used to pay up in the form of free labor and produce, while their noble overlords enjoyed massive privileges and zero taxes.
Chad about to become gigachad
Well he was world famous, I’m not from the US myself but most genX and older (~40+) knew about him and his trial at least superficially
We should reject the dichotomy, between 99% Hitler and 100% Hitler we must choose to actually change things and not be passive in front of atrocities. No sympathy for either one of the two sadistic parties of war.
The communist party in Cuba (like every other party) can’t “advertise” itself, it’s in the constitution ffs. If you wanted to pick a socialist country to portray as a “one party scary dictatorship” Cuba is the least fit. Cuba is a zero-party democracy in a way.
By that logic all of America should still be partitioned between the Spanish, British, Portuguese and French.
I understand this is an hyperbole, but still, let’s take for example the French revolution: sure Napoleon crowned himself emperor and in the end left France in a worst state than before, but he gave the whole world some important advancements:
for example, his monetary policies are the reason we have 1,2,5,10,20,50 of a given currency and the respective cents, and not an arbitrary system of fractions.
He helped introducing the concept of separation of church and state to the general public (not much considerated before).
He helped the nascent industrialist class to emerge and impose itself, gradually stamping out the remains of feudalism from Europe.
He advanced history in many ways I can’t even start to mention.
Let’s take another example, you can think what you want of the Soviet Union and I can agree to various criticisms, but living in the Russian empire in the 1900s (even before WW1) was like living 3 centuries in the past. People lived in misery and died young, servitude was abolished only 50 years before.
The Communists took a country that barely surpassed feudalism (in the cities) and gave basic dignities to its citizens, arriving to compete, militarily and economically, with the strongest superpower in history.
Can be argued it degenerated after Lenin’s death, but it’s undeniable that, even under stalin’s time, life was magnitudinally better than even 30 years prior (and to be fair that’s an enormously low bar)
Essù, anche noi abbiamo fatto ben 3 (tre) guerre per ľindipendenza contro ľaustria, evidentemente la gente lo voleva! Concordo che non sempre quando rovesci il governo vai a finire meglio (vedi Hitler, giovani turchi) ma gli Italiani lombardi/veneti/friulani sotto cecco Beppe non se la passano proprio bene… Non che i SaBoia fossero meglio, ma ľautodeterminazione dei popoli è una cosa importante per cui (a mio avviso) vale la pena combattere se si è oppressi.
Normalize not bailing out failing big businesses, hope we can bring that custom over here.
So much for the free marketplace of ideas, I can’t even get Putinbucks in peace now…
If we are in a simulation it means God is the ascended version of a gigantic Linux server
