The devil is in the details?

This isn’t really accurate. I agree with your sentiment on some level… But the swastika has existed for thousands of years in many different forms in many different cultures. It was co opted for sure, but not really changed. I agree that it is predominantly used as a hate symbol in modern culture, but it’s not quite as simple as you are putting it here, imho. Ancient Buddhist or Hindu temples shouldn’t be torn down because of a madman that stole a symbol nonsensically that had nothing to do with Aryan superiority. Might be nice if someday it could be rehabbed but certainly today, in America especially it is generally used as only meaning one thing. Not trying to be pedantic, it’s just not quite as cut and dry as you’re representing.

My comrade in veganism: this is not the way. Kindness is the only way your message will be heard. If Daryl Davis (a black man) can convince hundreds of KKK members to leave the organization by befriending them and forging relationships, sometimes over years, then you can tone it down and be kind to someone who doesn’t share your views and wants to eat a cheeseburger. Doesnt make them “right”, but your approach just makes you insufferable in the eyes of people you don’t agree with, which is almost everyone. Trust me, I’ve been doing it for decades and you are not setting a good example for the chill vegans out there. Calm down, love people regardless of their differences, there is enough division in the world. Do not turn your ethics into religious fundamentalism. You can control your behavior and you can be a good ambassador. In short: don’t be a smug asshole that thinks they are superior for any reason.

Yes. Fearmonger more. You keep up that driving! The rest of us will take advantage of more spare time to read while we cruise smoothly by the cars sitting in traffic. Truly a nightmare.

Same rules for communists then?

You know nothing, are not American, and you comment all the time on American politics? Why are you here again?

Shills gotta do the job they’re paid for, after all …

Slippery slope on that one. Do all Nazis deserve punched in the face (and worse)? Yes! Let’s not criminalize thoughts or beliefs though, no matter how reprehensible they may be.

Sure, we are all capable of the whole gamut of political opinions, it’s foolish to gauge race as the only deciding factor. On that we agree. There is also a whole messaging thing that would need to shift for Republicans to appeal to a wider variety of people, which is what I was trying to point out. How many times has JD Vance spoke in narrow terms about “the white working class” , that’s probably not a message that appeals much to a diverse electorate. I don’t think the current Republican party would even tolerate Michael Steele at this point.

That’s hilarious, you think Republicans would try that? It’s been mask off for the open racists since Obama, they understand their base just fine.

Zappa even has a song about this very subject, from 1967.

Its an observation, sweetie.

Its gotta be a job, how many profiles do you think they are surfing through a day on how many different platforms?

It used to feel like a wild conspiracy that you might be engaging with some bad faith state-sponsored foreign actor in a forum, now its just Friday.

Nobody said anything about calculators, you don’t seem to understand the question. The comments about using commas in numbers in the U.S. are 100% correct.

You have a keen interest in posting all day about politics in a country you arent from. Can never answer a question about your own background.

Incessantly talk shit about Israeli policy from an anti Democratic perspective without a whif of criticism of the Republicans, who would be far worse in their full throated approval of Israeli warcrimes. What is your native language? Are you able to vote in the USA?

Removed by mod

Your track record seems to have zero criticism of Republicans, when we know Trump would be far worse in supporting Israeli warcrimes. Just this once, can you come out and say that Trump would actually be worse for the one topic you ever seem to discuss?

Well then they won’t mind when we stop providing US made weapons to continue their aggressions, cutoff the billions in annual support, and stop blocking international efforts at holding them accountable. Why would Netanyahu be addressing our government if we had no skin in the game?

You’re either uninformed or trolling, we are Israel’s largest ally and we constantly shield them from international repercussions.

I hope they are crushed, learn nothing and double down on it by running with Trump again, this time fully campaigning from prison.

Better to eat crow than the shit we’d be forced to swallow in a second trump term! Forreal though, thank you for coming out and saying it.

Nobody needs to say “I told ya so” but clearly things are moving in an energetic direction, and those of us that are sane in this country should all be pleased! Keep dunking on the fascists and speaking the obvious truth to these morons!
