Talking about Trump does not mean talking about the election. Talking about Trump is talking about the US President.
Awesome ✊
I think we need to be organizing as well, not just individually reacting. Join things, not just show up for things, you know? To the best of our ability of course.
The middle class is so far gone in the US that people like you have difficulty remembering what it looks like.
So, the rich are organizing. What are you doing?
American standards of freedom of speech are not universal.
But what if you are the richest man in the world and you only did a roman salute to send your heart out.
You should make this comment in a thread about Israel and Palestine vs in an article about Trump.
If this was /c/news you’d be right and I should not bother with this kind of comment, because then it would be about looking at this from the point of view of US politics. This is /c/world news. Trump is not a candidate that won your election, Trump is the sitting US president. Like, listen, if Trudeau says something stupid about Palestine, it would be ridiculous for a bunch of Canadians to brigade the thread and make it about how strategic NDP voters spoiled the last Canadian election. You would be complaining and you’d be right. If we were to go do that over at /c/canada, we’d be right to tell you off if you complain, but here in /c/world, you’d be right.
It’s not making it about Trump to discuss Trump in an article about Trump.
I didn’t say don’t make it about Trump. I said stop whining about your last election. We don’t care any more, it’s tired, and it’s stupid and I don’t fucking want to hear about how mad you are at Jill Stein or Kamala any more. If you want to whine about other Americans, go to /c/news and knock yourself out.
That said its not our fault Israel is a clusterfuck. It’s a clusterfuck because of Palestinians and Israelis. Furthermore before it was Israel it was a British territory.
That’s where you’re wrong, yank. It is your fault. Your country has been enabling the Israelis for the last 5 decades. They would not be able to do shit if you didn’t sell hand them over the weapons you do, if you didn’t play their big brother lawyer at every single fucking UN institution, vetoing every single fucking condemnation for every single fucking crime that they do. They wouldn’t be half as brazen if you were not doing everything possible to cover their asses at every single fucking opportunity you get. The Israelis are the primary culprit here, but the US is the reason why Israel keeps acting with complete fucking immunity and overwhelming power.
(“you” == your country, not you personally)
The US is to schizophrenic and too morally weak to rely on to save anything. Save yourself or drown.
We agree on that one.
Just from the title, I knew the man that the cop was standing on top of is indigenous.
Sure, but the bar is extremely super low, a simple “we do not agree with him”, would do a LOT of heavy lifting.
The real question for me is what are the rest of the trustees saying and planning to do about this. A bad apple spoils the bunch.
I literally have no idea wtf you are talking about.
This kind of take is a tired meme at this point.
You’re right of course. There is nothing special about Palestinians, they are an ethnic group just like all the others.
The US President, yes. You have to understand that internationally, at this point, we just see him as just that: The US President. Your elections are your internal issue and we don’t need to be expending all our energy psychoanalyzing your electoral system. As not-an-american, I don’t give a damn about how mad you are at your fellow citizens who might or might not have stayed home at election day or voted in a way that you think was stupid. Not every fucking world event needs to be understood from the perspective of the role of Jill Fucking Stein as a spoiler candidate.
EDIT: Rule number 1 says “[…] Not United States Internal News […]”. This applies to posts, but I think after a certain point, overtly brigading every fucking world event thread with the internal US perspective kind of beats the point.
Americans making this about Trump vs Kamala is getting really really annoying. I mean, we get it, you are pissed off at each other. We’ve read the same arguments dozens of times already, and at this point it is getting extremely tired. It sucks the oxygen out of every conversation. Is this what the discourse is going to be around Palestine and Israel the next four years?
Admins/mods, I propose we make a rule to stop Americans from arguing about which candidate president from their last election would do genocide less. It sucks the air out of the thread, making everything about themselves.
We are also known for our self deprecating humour. the Beaverton is like the Canadian Onion.
The issue is postponed not solved. Canada has every incentive to consider the issue as an ongoing crisis.
I’d say you guys are already honorary Canadians, but I’m told I shouldn’t fuck with Minnesota, so I’ll just do a friendly nod as I hold the door and wish you a nice day neighbour and please give my best to yours and if your kids are up for it my kids wanted to do that playdate, so would pizza be ok, let us know if there are any allergies we should know about.
