>We don't do it for any other historical event. Why is that? Sure we do, there are lots of things (usually genocides) that are considered crass or hateful to deny or downplay (let'…

>Everyone's views, evern yours, are abhorrent to at least some other person on the planet. Yes and I accept that they won't respect me. I do not demand that they respect me, it's f…

>You can still call it a person, if you like. No thanks, because a person is not a group of ideas + a mind.

How is it grown up to not recoil from people holding abhorrent views? If you can't judge people for the things they say and do, then... what's left?

> they framed it in a way that made it seem like truth "the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people; just get the fuck away" It is true t…

I’m certain that a key pillar of Russian propaganda in the USA is to repeat the horseshit that Europe is some degenerate shithole/caliphate arresting people left right and centre f…

There was a real choice in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Trumps opponent was every single time very different to him.

The USA did literally the same thing just as recently. The USA is a colonial state founded by colonialist Europeans.

Sometimes extreme things happen. I mean this: >In the end, the investigation will likely show that neither of the two extreme interpretations currently polarizing public opinion is…

>As they say, those who make peaceful something impossible make violent something inevitable. Well, it's certainly clear that Trump is a revolutionary force rather than a conservat…

If the shoe fits.

Pretty pathetic then to justify the murder of a widowed mother of 3 just for turning down the wrong street. What was that thing that guy said about those willing to trade freedom f…

Doesn't look like that at all to me. He wasn't hit, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stay standing whilst shooting her in the head multiple times. Shooting her in the head m…

Why is fleeing a death sentence? And since when did Americans become such boot lickers?

Indeed this concept of hemispheres to justify military action is total nonsense, the Prime Meridian could have been placed anywhere. Strictly speaking, the whole of Ireland may be …

Why do you make such silly claims about imaginary pipelines? What purpose does it serve? There is one that goes to China, but it's been operating since 2019. Beyond that there are …

We ought to avoid repeating your mistakes, no? Maybe unlimited campaign donations and so on, all this wonderful "American free speech (money = speech)" is a fundamentally bad idea.…

Those jobs are never coming back, meanwhile they're torching the entire world order that was built purely to your benefit, betraying all allies, embarking on imperialist adventures…

Americans repeating Kremlin talking points is just odd and sad. Russian energy in Europe is being phased out by 2027. Not only will it "ever happen", it's imminent.

Well, by 2027, the Russian gas imports will stop altogether.

It's not that controversial, every single country has limits on speech, including the US. So European countries control a little bit more than the US, largely when it comes to raci…

Nothing off topic about it.

But that's a bad thing, special exemptions to tariffs based on patronage is good for Trump but terrible for the US. That's exactly one of the biggest reasons tariffs are so bad.
