Because American and other intelligence agencies was and still is using the kompromat to blackmail people.

When the genocide happened. I thought that was obvious.

They had private enterprise. So, In what way were they not capitalist? Imperial colonial economies are capitalist, by nature.

Tbf, i dont think they could name all of the African American slaves or the millions killed in the DRC.

You know the drill: Ukrainian starvation genocide = crime of communism.

When the Turkish capitalist empire does the same to Armenians, that’s just one of those things. Feels kinds commie though.

I see what you mean, in terms of democracy being a problem capitalism is trying to solve and, also, that the rich and powerful will never allow us to simply vote away their ill-gotten wealth and power.

I don’t think that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try though or just lament that we were born too late though.

If enough people wanted to, we could change things very quickly. I don’t see why that would mean we would have to have those all of those things, let alone for an extended period. Really, you’re rationalising a status quo bias.

Just like work. If a government tried to treat us like that, we would have a revolution tomorrow. Yet, we’ve all been groomed into just accepting it.

Your mad scrambling to not back down over a very silly statement is getting boring now. The fact that you genuinely think that there’s literally nothing Germany could ever do to be rid of American soldiers, if they wanted to, is just bizzare and has no basis in reality.

Why wasn’t West Germany invited until six years later?

Because of WW2. You’ve heard of that one right? Sheer desperation and very little thought going on here.

If they wanted them gone bad enough, they could starve them out. I’m not sure how you’ve convinced yourself that isn’t a possible option for them, if pushed far enough. I’m not saying they will but the idea that they couldn’t is just ridiculous.

Nato was formed in 1949 which was before the korea war and was always about preventing soviet aggression. No amount of pretending otherwise will change that. Britain and America had already occupied Germany after ww2 and that didn’t officially end until 1955. I get it, you don’t like nato but you’re not doing you side any favours here.

I agree that direct confrontation wouldn’t work. However, Germany could just refuse to allow anyone to supply food, power, petrol etc. to American bases and they’ll have to take themselves home sooner or later or declare open war on Germany.

The reason nato was created was the threat of the soviet Russian empire and continues to exist for almost the exact same reason.

The chats amyl and the sniffers The viagra boys (more kind of 80s dance punk revival)

Music has been captured by business now more than ever. I think you’ll be be very hard pushed to find anyone who can make a living from music that would meet everyone’s definition of a strong message etc. now. So, mines a lot less that and just more punk now.

I wonder if the existence of the American empire bothers Americans or if they’re all still in denial.

As a British person, I know gunboat diplomacy when I see it.

It’s all part of the American gun myth where they tell each other they could overthrow their government with their hunting rifles and the military won’t just mortar their dreams away before they even saw it coming because they feel like the military will refuse to, for reasons they can’t explain.

That way, they can justify their crazy lack of gun control and all the school children who get murdered due to it.

IMO, It’s all interlinked.

Even the soil is refusing to grow plants.

It’s bizzare, you started off by saying “No” in a willful display of poor social skills but then went on to say very little that I’ve disagreed with.

I mean, I didn’t say that each country didn’t have their own lobby, now did I?

The pressure and the money to actually change things and control your country’s entire online media narrative is controlled by a very small number of US companies. They use this power to rig elections and force law like the above through. I understand that wi be difficult reading for some Americans who don’t like that they’re now the colonising Empire but, that doesn’t change that the main problem with sorting our own digital data laws hasn’t been meddling by American business interests.

Have you got anything more than “I don’t like this. So, it isn’t true?”

You can’t get into bed with both the sicilian and Jewish mob and expect to come out clean. For those interested in finding out a little more:

“Operation gladio”

“One nation under blackmail”

Our American neighbours, over the pond, are in for one hell of a ride. At least you have all that coffee ready, for when you make up.

We sure are looking forward to having our friend and ally back.

Yeah but the IDF did show the effect their mass starvation was having on the Israeli hostages. So, I guess we’re even right?

Right?

You say this as if the problem isn’t American corporations and pooled special interests bribing, blackmail and rig elections in every country they can until they get what they want.

But, if people chat privatelywith each other in public spaces, how are we meant to control the conversation and tell people what to think?

No, A.I. generated kompromat-capture is the only possible way people can receive therapy.

Why would the tories oppose thier own bill?

I don’t think you’re fully aware of all the factors here.
