I am not the NATO chief.

Then tell us what powers does the Dutch NATO chief has to make a deal in name of Greenland and Denmark. Trump got empty hands, he got totally played by the nice words of Rutte. Edit: Your conversation is really mind boggling: "Trump got a great deal on Greenland!" "What deal?" "How would I know?!?!?!"

It is not mind boggling if you don't manipulate quotes to fit for your narrative.

Police have the right to defend themselves if they fear for their lives. It was terrible accident indeed that could have been voided if he'd not physically interfere or have a gun on him.

Defend themselves from the already pinned down person that never drew a gun by shooting him to the back of the head? Think about what you're saying. You're trying to defend the indefensible.

Police heard a gunshot and pulled the trigger by accident. Hence unfortunate accident.

> Because if it were actual fascism, like the Hitler/Mussolini kind, you'd be arrest/dead the moment you spoke anything against it. This is... a pretty confused view of history, really. Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, and consolidated power over the next year. At this point there was a lot of criticism of the regime, both internal and external. Things got rapidly worse after, of course, but there certainly was a pe…

>but that there was public criticism Every political party had public criticism before they could gain absolute power to silence that criticism.

Exactly. You're disproving your own argument now.

What fascist tactics did they use to get rid of Hitler? If you're referring to his time in prison, he was put there because he staged a putsch. Beyond that, much of the establishment and industry tried to work with him using a softly, softly approach. They thought they could steer him, temper him, leverage his popularity for their own ends. Of course, that didn't work out for them

>What fascist tactics did they use to get rid of Hitler? November 1921 (Munich): During a speech at an NSDAP rally in a beer hall, an unknown assailant fired shots at Hitler from the crowd amid a melee, but he escaped unharmed. 1923 (Thuringia): An unidentified person attempted to shoot Hitler during a rally, but Nazi supporters outnumbered opponents, forcing the attacker to flee. 1923 (Memmingen): Another unknown in…

Attempted assassinations by unidentified lone wolves, spread out over decades, are not "fascist" tactics. Obviously they are very bad for a political climate, but I think that's stretching the definition beyond any use.

You originally implied the Weimar Republic itself used fascistic tactics. But your examples show nothing of the sort (and are obviously just an LLM dump, which disinclines me to continue this conversation)

Pulled the trigger by accident eleven times???

Come on man, don't debase yourself like this.

How so? When I said "every political party" meaning including the ones under the liberal democratic umbrella.

>unidentified lone wolves

Yes, I'm sure they were lone wolves who happen to have massive resources for political assassinations, and not backed by hitler's political opposition. Please, let's end the conversation here since it's clearly not going anywhere.

The whole point of the forced sale of TikTok was for the American-Israeli hegemony to exert control over the narrative of the platform. And now it is doing exactly that. Color me surprised.

No no no no no, it was because TikTok was owned by the CCP and was literally and directly controlling the minds of millions of people and indoctrinating them with communist propaganda, turning them against the United States.

You may have gone onto the platform and seen nothing but the same sort of vapid memes as anywhere else, but you see that's just how insidious and clever those Chinese are.

We're not exerting control over the narrative, we're protecting the truth from foreign influence.

There is no genocide in ba sing se.
