President of what?

They were (allegedly) trying to “balance” public safety and privacy?

Why would they “balance” two things they absolutely DO NOT care about?

you also have to convince them it’s worth getting shot over.

When they start shooting protestors, the time for protest is over.

Yeah the democrats were weak when it comes to Gaza.

The Dems were not “weak” on Gaza - they very strongly supported their favorite little genocidal white supremacist colonialist project.

But, they didn’t say “the west bank is yours for the taking. Go get!”

Nobody “handed” Israel the West Bank - the IDF can concentrate on the West Bank now because they were too entangled by their abysmal failure to beat Hamas in Gaza.

largely peaceful anti-israel protests that were commonplace under the democrats will now get violently shut down by autocratic style policing

Good. The people doing “peaceful” protest needs to learn what “peaceful” protest amounts to one way or the other.

Also trump has an extremely pro Israeli track record

So does the entire US political establishment, including anyone the Dems will allow as a presidential candidate.

The Swiss? Those people known for their (supposed) “neutrality” despite helping the Nazis squirrel away all that stolen wealth?

Say it isn’t so!

Thanks to neoliberalism I don’t have any money to spend on these products anyway!

PTB or CLM… I’m torn.

Your take on this is as shit as any other emanating from the lemmy.world liberal hivemind, but I don’t think the ban was justified (at least not according to the available information).

Believing a politician actually cares about you is like believing the stripper likes you,

Hey, come now… there’s no need to compare those parasites to strippers.

Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.

Anarchism is “extreme” left now? Since when?

This sounds no different than the “far left” bullcrap liberals and their fascist cousins have been peddling in the last while.

YDI.

You’re a genocide denier. No ifs, ands or buts.

Damn. So that means all males (including me) are technically transgender.

I think I’ll have some coffee, then.

How American Institutions Failed to Meet the Moment

Lol! What failure?

Seems to me that they succeeded in their anti-democratic function, and succeeded spectacularly.

a hegemony with a 100-years tradition of upkeeping democracy against major non-democratic players

Your proof of this is… what?

Latin America was essentially a retirement resort for fascist war criminals after WW2.

It turns out that the dictators who was friendly to US corporate interests was also raging Nazi sympathizers. It must be a complete coincidence though and totally not related at all.

…and the other half was left in Germany to fill up West Germany’s intelligence services.

it hasn’t been adopted country wide because the actual majority of people don’t want it

Your argument is as flat as month-old Coke. The vast majority of people EVERYWHERE did not want liberalism (or the capitalist pillaging and looting it apologized for) - it had to be forced onto people through brutal colonialist violence - yet here we are, aren’t we?

I see that you are just one of those people that thinks everything is tied to race.

I’m not the one that “tied” everything to race, Clyde - ask your “western” ancestors why THEY fetishistically “tied” everything to race to such a degree that their oh-so-precious “western” civilization is incapable of existing without it.

Saying a population is non homogeneous is not racist.

Clyde, defining “sameness” purely by RACE is white supremacist.

Which is why cities and municipalities have the freedom to adopt communist ideals.

They do? Since when?

The USA in total is far too large and diverse to make it work country wide.

Where is your proof of this?

neither culturally, politically, or geographically homogeneous.

You sound no different than the right-wingers pretending that “cultural (ie, racial, since right-wingers don’t actually have the foggiest clue what culture is) homogeneity” is what makes countries successful.

It would take an all powerful small ruling class forcing compliance in order to make it work on such a large scale.

Lol! Says who? You?

That’s the whole point of right-wing “anti-immigrant” hysteria - it has always been about the repression of the cheapest source of labour (even cheaper than carceral slavery). Hell, the dynamics of this is even perfectly articulated in the second book of the Old Testament.

But the goons doing the dirty work doesn’t need to know that.

In This Country, We Hate Nazis

Lol! No they don’t.

The US has always loved fascism. It’s the only one of two political ideologies it endorses.
