Yes, it's Putin who's totally controlling trump and making him do tarrifs. After all, Putin leads hamas, putin did 9/11, putin killed millions in Iraq, Putin killed millions the middle east, Putin's funding UAE and Israeli genocides against Sudan and Palestine How peaceful the world would be without Putin /s
mUH wHataBoUTiSm. I'm shocked this user is from .ml
Shocked, I tell you.
It's not whataboutism. He's pointing out the empire has been going far longer than anything having to do with Trump. I'm apparently not allowed to discuss anything else about that here though, because the mods know the absolute truth about all things and will decide what ideas are allowed to be spoken.
🤣🤣🤣
^ Now we're sinking down from "reddit level" to "Facebook level". Just "laugh reacts".
Sometimes an emoji says it all. 😘
Yeah, and sometimes you're just a bad person.
yeah, that's the problem. Anyone taking the piss on Lemmy must be an absolute monster. Lol.
That's the meaning of the phrase "the banality of evil". It was a commentary on how in Nazi Germany, behaviors that were individually almost innocuous or careless manifested at the society level as a genocide. Because it really just takes millions of dumbasses to follow a monumentally evil path.
My dude (or dudette,) you may want to take a breather for your sanity. You are obviously way too worked up.
Nah fuck that. You're all dropping the ball.
How is this whataboutism? They only pointed out that the US has a long history of doing shitty things without being controlled by some foreign actor. It's perfectly plausible that Trump is doing shitty things because he thinks he will personally gain something out of it, without anyone pulling his strings. He just doesn't care if the rest of the country goes up in flames.
No he is dead on. The US has been shooting itself in the foot for decades in order to murder little brown kids.
The only way your argument makes any sense is if Russia ordered Biden to commit genocide and throw the election. The DNC decided to run a geriatric against Trump. They are no smarter or better than the Republicans.
More wHataBoUTiSm from another .ml account.
Again, just shocked. Tu quoque fallacy at its finest.
So you believe the Democrats corruption and incompetence is natural and AIPAC has nothing to do with it. But the Republicans corruption is POOTIN!
Meanwhile the first person Trump invites is Netanyahu.
If someone said the same things about Israel controlling the US as you are saying about Russia, ignoring that the links to Russia are far far smaller, you would call them an anti Semite.
They didn't decide shit. Only politicians decide whether they wish to run or not. The DNC literally does not have the power to chose who runs and who doesn't. You know the DNC is not a person right? The DNC is literally made up of the primary delegates elected by the voters, who then choose a new executive committee every 4 years. Did you put yourself forward as a potential delegate? Stop blaming the DNC for the choices made by the voters.
I didn't want to believe it, but .world and Reddit powermod user overlap must be real high. They all are like a hivemind of "making fun of tankie" aka the liberal version of "woke"
The mods are sure acting like reddit mods. They're already the self-appointed arbiters of truth.
That too somewhat, but I ment more .world users, it's the only place and the only type of users who actively fight on the wrong side and bring up Reddit arguments and the worst of reddit behaviour into Lemmy
Seeing the same. Not that many different users either, just really vocal.
I've noticed that too, keep seeing the same people pop up all the time, even in different instances of the same community
I mean, at the very least, the man could take his dick out of the Ukraine.
Very peaceful. Putin's a busy man, with his hands pulling a lot of strings.
Then the focus will be another, "world peace" to America to the west is when their elites can do whatever they could ever dream of at the cost of the entire earth, it's people and animals exploited.
Putin now, then Palestinans, then Panama, then Canadians, the gays, dei, muslims, socialist, leftist, woke, so on and so forth until everyone is dead but America gets all the toys they could ever play with. Your nation and your propaganda is a joke. Putin is awful, but he's undeniably done less damage in this entire years as leader of Russia than America in 2 terms
How the average Russian life expectancy gone in the last 20 years?

See the teacher after class child.
Ahh, nothing to say about life expectancy after I gave you the number?
Is this a common request you're getting on your report card little guy, gotta stop using chatgpt and lock in
I'm pretty sure that millions of Ukrainian victims of Russian imperialism would say that your propaganda is a joke.
Their entire population.
Did you imagine me saying "No"???? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL........................................................
The entire world knows about this stuff. You are unbelievably ignorant. Why would anyone listen to you about anything?
