  • Lol! You may not have said those words, specifically…but you’ve certainly used a ton of Steve Bannon’s other talking points during this discussion. Whether you’re getting your information directly from him, or from some of his subsidiaries (like Jimmy Dore for example), isn’t the point. The point is you’re still spreading his propaganda, whether you know it or not.

    And even with this last comment, you are strawmaanning my position again. I am not criticizing your position on Israel’s genocide. Stop making that your only argument here. It isn’t valid. I agree with you. Genocide is bad. But how does it help having Trump in the office instead of Harris? Israel is even more aggressive now…and Trump is exactly the kind of stupid to go along with it.

    Harris wouldn’t speak up against Biden during her campaign…but given how public opinion is shifting within her base…do you honestly believe that she would be worse than Trump right now? Clutching your pearls because of how close she was to Biden, while holding the door open for a literal fascist to walk past you, is social and political negligence. If you’re not voting to the left in every election…the right will keep winning.

    You need to be able to recognize who the real enemy is and how to stop them, if you want any hope of turning this shit around. Or, you can throw your hands in the air and give up. Which is exactly what folks like Steve Bannon are counting on.


  • Yeah, well…those genocidal assholes are literally the same people feeding you the talking points you seem so stuck on. Are you even aware that Steve Bannon is the guy that came up with the narrative that Liberals were actually worse than fascists? They literally paid influencers on the left to convince people of this, in order to divided any opposition to MAGA and discourage young leftists from voting. And guess what? It fucking worked.

    That means that people like you are either getting paid to spread this bullshit, or they’re stupid enough to be spreading it for free. Wake the fuck up. You’re undermining all of us with this doom-and-gloom approach to politics. Instead of motivating people to get more involved in the process…you’re sucking all the fucking oxygen out of the room and guaranteeing that people walk away. That bullshit is exactly what got Trump elected again. And they’re counting on it in order to keep him in power indefinitely. Stop helping them.



  • The myth was always more durable than the machinery. NATO presented itself as a collective security architecture; in practice, it functioned as a billing arrangement for American imperial overhead, in which European governments paid in treasure, territory, and political will for the privilege of hosting Washington’s forward operating positions.

    Ummm, no. That’s the myth that NATO critics have always maintained. Actual NATO members have never seen it that way. The only time in history when the alliance was ever tested, was after 9/11…and most countries were incredibly hesitant to follow the US into war…especially against the vague idea of a “war on terror”. Their support was mostly ceremonial, and many member states straight-up refused to join the US when it invaded Iraq under false pretenses. The same is now true with Iran.





  • That wasn’t even what we were talking about. You just keep making it about that, because you have no idea what you’re actually arguing about.

    I have repeatedly told you that I am not a Biden supporter and don’t agree with his policies on Israel…at all. You just keep ignoring that, and continue to accuse me of holding positions that I don’t. That is the definition of a strawman argument, and it shows a lack of intellectual integrity on your part.

    What I am telling you…that you also don’t seem capable of understanding…is that if you want any of that to get dealt with, you will need to address Congress. Not the president. Even if you want Biden to be held accountable for his actions over Israel…you need Congress to do that. Everything you are complaining about is Congress’s job to fix.

    Me saying that, over and over again, is NOT “carrying water for Biden”. It is not being “head over heels for Biden”. That is the stupidest, most lazy take you could possibly have. You aren’t even trying to use your brain. You’re just saying shit that you think sounds principled, but really just comes off as hopelessly ignorant.
