>We don't do it for any other historical event. Why is that? Sure we do, there are lots of things (usually genocides) that are considered crass or hateful to deny or downplay (let's be honest he was downplaying, he certainly wa

>Everyone's views, evern yours, are abhorrent to at least some other person on the planet. Yes and I accept that they won't respect me. I do not demand that they respect me, it's fine, of course they won't respect me

>You can still call it a person, if you like. No thanks, because a person is not a group of ideas + a mind.

How is it grown up to not recoil from people holding abhorrent views? If you can't judge people for the things they say and do, then... what's left?

> they framed it in a way that made it seem like truth "the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people; just get the fuck away" It is true that this is an evil and racist thing to say. &g

I’m certain that a key pillar of Russian propaganda in the USA is to repeat the horseshit that Europe is some degenerate shithole/caliphate arresting people left right and centre for tweeting. See also the US’s total obsession with Lo

There was a real choice in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Trumps opponent was every single time very different to him.

The USA did literally the same thing just as recently. The USA is a colonial state founded by colonialist Europeans.

Pretty pathetic then to justify the murder of a widowed mother of 3 just for turning down the wrong street. What was that thing that guy said about those willing to trade freedom for security will have none? Modern day MAGA Americans are n

Doesn't look like that at all to me. He wasn't hit, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stay standing whilst shooting her in the head multiple times. Shooting her in the head made no sense anyway because of course once

Why is fleeing a death sentence? And since when did Americans become such boot lickers?

Indeed this concept of hemispheres to justify military action is total nonsense, the Prime Meridian could have been placed anywhere. Strictly speaking, the whole of Ireland may be invaded by the USA according to this "doctrine".

Why do you make such silly claims about imaginary pipelines? What purpose does it serve? There is one that goes to China, but it's been operating since 2019. Beyond that there are no pipelines being built, neither to China nor to In

We ought to avoid repeating your mistakes, no? Maybe unlimited campaign donations and so on, all this wonderful "American free speech (money = speech)" is a fundamentally bad idea. Worked exceedingly well for ~225 years, now it

Those jobs are never coming back, meanwhile they're torching the entire world order that was built purely to your benefit, betraying all allies, embarking on imperialist adventures abroad and making huge amounts of money for themselves

Americans repeating Kremlin talking points is just odd and sad. Russian energy in Europe is being phased out by 2027. Not only will it "ever happen", it's imminent.

Well, by 2027, the Russian gas imports will stop altogether.

It's not that controversial, every single country has limits on speech, including the US. So European countries control a little bit more than the US, largely when it comes to racial abuse and other hate speech. So? The American mod

But that's a bad thing, special exemptions to tariffs based on patronage is good for Trump but terrible for the US. That's exactly one of the biggest reasons tariffs are so bad.

Replacing one colonial ruler with another colonial ruler, at best, whilst losing every single one of America's allies in the process. Truly the Art of the Deal.

Trump already has ruined America. I'm not sure Americans understand how alienating this stuff is. As a formerly very Atlanticist Brit who used to genuinely look up to America and thought we had so much to learn from it, this shit is

what’s going on in New York is irrelevant. The trains in Germany are largely bad. Bad enough that I don’t use them unless I have to. Once they’re at that stage it doesn’t matter how much worse they get for me, I still won’t use them.

If everything about it is normal then your comment has rather explained basically nothing. It's normal behaviour that Bari Weiss's abnormal, anti free speech behaviour and sucking up to Trump is being documented. Okay.

It's very silly to say they "love" them. It's unlikely anyone is happy this happened. They are a news company, they report news, and people are interested most of all in bad things that have happened.

Hope doesn't come into it. It's just a fact. And if you accept it as a fact, then hoping they have a silly name for him isn't the same as hoping Trump's been good for China. Like I say, it's not a question, of co
