@IanECox The logic of communism and socialism falls apart when you realize they're all just trying to sell you something and they're profiting as they do
@IanECox@DavidKa07247477 For the sake of perpetual hate and division between races, Pan Africanists would have us all convinced that colonialism started with Europeans and many even believe it's there now and they're using the white man's tools to dismantle it π
@IanECox@DavidKa07247477 Nativism isn't unique to the US and Europe, it's now finding roots in a Pan Africanists conversations and they won't hear of all those white people born in former colonies and therefore citizens and native to African countries
@IanECox Centrists are institutionalists, we're liberal enough to want a gradual increase of democratic rights without burning institutions down like the far right or far left who are all fascists anyway π€
@IanECox I think communists, who are essentially extreme leftists are the same as those on the extreme right, the idealogies seem different until they start looking like different portals to the same destination π€
@NationAfrica This is anti patriotic bullshit, I'm no fan of the president but I'll take diplomatic wins that will benefit even his political opponents and the image of the country any day.
@Jasiri_D30@IanECox@TsarCule Israel is not systematically targeting civilians, it's impossible not to kill civilians in a compact area like Gaza and especially with radicalized youths who want to die trying to kill Israeli. You should travel there and see for yourself
@IanECox@Jasiri_D30@TsarCule Right, all the circumstances conspired against Palestinian civilians, their leaders picked a fight with an Israeli PM not willing to pull his punches and Trump came back to office and he doesn't give a shit about any of it and pro pal activists helped him return to power
@IanECox@Jasiri_D30@TsarCule Gaza was always going to end up that way after the October 7th terrorist attacks. Netanyahu had been looking for that fight for a long time and Hamas gave him the reason
@IanECox Maybe not full on McCarthyism but there are national security arguments for not platforming such conspiracy theorists and provocatuers. Russian assets poisoning western democracies from the inside and some even financially benefitting from it
@IanECox I honestly wouldn't put it past him, he has increased his personal net worth by 4 billion dollars while in office but I guess Dems will investigate it all after they retake the House
