Makes sense

Don’t worry I agree lol

I mean I’d agree lol but I doubt this person equates Luigi and the average American soldier painting a bomb. That’s my point. Writing on a bullet case or writing a political statement doesn’t make one terrorist. It’s the violent acts and who they’re directed at any why that determine it.

American soldiers regularly paint imagery and words on the ammunition and vehicles they use to kill people. Are they terrorists too?

Yeah I don’t really understand this post. I use a VPN pretty much 24/7 coupled with little snitch. I like controlling what information of mine is going out and who gets to come in.

If the mouse comes after your ass unfortunately yes they do kind of get to decide what is and isn’t legal. A lot of it depends on your country’s relationship with the US.

What a shit take. If you wanna get away with just making shit up like that then you should just go on right wing talk shows and pretend to be a pundit. They’ll love you

If your entire argument hinges on such a myopic view of things then your argument is not very good. We also both know that I am not saying “literally zero people ever“ and that it is patently absurd of you to interpret my point that way. It’s dishonest and ridiculous.

You know what my actual argument is, hiding behind a flagrantly dishonest interpretation of it is not the slam dunk you think it is. Unless you are truly that ignorant and only able to read things hyper literally, in which case I apologize for expecting too much of you.

Truth

Unfortunately their ability to decide their own fate is limited while they are reliant on resources from countries that are threatening to pull the plug.

Yet we still give Israel bombs 🫥

I don’t disagree with any of this, all I’m saying is that Ukraine only has a war so long as its friends are giving them the means with which to wage war.

I completely agree the US would be foolish to stop helping them. We should be ramping it up. Russia is a rogue state, it should be treated like one, with the relatively modest investment we put into it we have seen Russia take crippling blows that will take them easily decades to recover from. This is an opportunity to contain a major world threat and it is not lost on me that Trump and co are determined to squander the opportunity.

While I do agree that this is all kind of bullshit and contributes to that issue of supporting Putin and the Russian mafia fantasy, the reality is that the entire Ukrainian war effort is propped up by the resources provided from western countries, which means that they do in fact the ability to continue or end the war pretty unilaterally. We can chest pound all we want, as can Zelenskyy, but he knows this. This war cannot continue without armaments from the US and Western Europe

I’m not sure where you got the idea that 1) I didn’t think he was a major enabler of the horrific genocide of the Palestinian people or 2) that it is at all relevant. You’re just flinging shit at the wall and seeing what sticks now to paint me as some evil dem bootlicker because you’re behaving like a petulant child who doesn’t understand how government works. Fuck Biden and fuck Israel for the genocide they are committing. Happy? Is that the slam dunk you were hoping for?

He can’t remove the filibuster. He can’t force legislation on Congress. He can’t executive order that kind of rule for Congress. The democrats and republicans in Congress have to end this practice. This is basic civics. He can vocalize it all he wants but he can’t make them do anything.

You can’t pass that with a simple majority.

I agree they should not be able to trade stocks. I think the democrats are being rat bastards for participating in it too. But I also understand that Biden could not single handedly solve that nor was it remotely a high enough priority to burn political capital and fight his own party over it.

If the US stopped giving armaments and money to Israel once it became clear what they were doing and then followed up with actual punitive measures yes it would have stopped it. Israel is committing genocide with the approval of the US.

what…?

I largely agree but let’s not forget Afghanistan. Trump contributed but the Biden admin was elected to be the adults in the room and they looked totally disorganized and incompetent during that.

He can’t pass anything he isn’t a legislator and this can’t be executive ordered
