Hey you’re the person who inspired me to look into Spains record on this like a week ago! I was passively accepting Spains rhetoric and you calling them out in a comment reply to someone else inspired me research deeper. Each one, teach one.

This guy was on a roof and shot his ear.

The second attempt would be from Ryan Routh, NATO obsessed guy who loved Biden and Ukraine and could summon 10,000 volunteer soldiers he recruited to help Ukraine, if only he got to charge his ult.

Keir Fuhrer.

And Germany.

And the US if you aren’t white and born here.

Netanyahu still has a coalition to appease, and occasionally must make concessions to less-genocidal factions in his government.

When? Seems he’s more often making concessions to the more outright genocidal. Remember the “right to rape” riots resulting in the release of the soldiers?

Why would it matter if they’re genz/alpha? They are describing observed trends.

What in their comment has anything to do with people shouting respect their elders? Or younger people thinking old people are too nostalgic? It seems the opposite if anything, more based on older people’s nostalgia for their time and younger people internalizing that, not fighting against it.

When did they claim to be special?

Christianity is Christianity.

What some people do based on a misguided and uninformed interpretation of Christianity is their own decisions masked behind Christianity.

Most Americans aren’t Christian scholars, id wager most haven’t even studied the Bible themselves, but listen to whatever their preacher tells them.

Idk about Ireland, I could believe they are actually against it due to their history. But while the people of Spain strongly condemn it, and Spain thus puts out statements opposed, the government still supports it materially. Every so often they claim to stop buying/selling weapons from them, but continue to do so.

Unless I’ve missed something recently which is entirely possible I guess.

And as for other countries making noise of discontent but continuing support, that’s still support. Joe Biden publicly claimed to call for ceasefire all the time, but continued to send weapons and never actually seriously demanded a ceasefire. It’s rhetoric to subdues the populace on a topic they strongly disagree with the government.

“Not the father” MFs when the test comes back

EU isn’t “searching for a spine” they condone it as well.

1. Interesting. I was under the belief that disability benefit requiments basically meant “unable obtain and maintain full time employment due to a disability”. After some research it seems it’s more about how much money you earn than how many hours you work.

2. Are you not conflating Part Time/Hourly and Full time/Salary?

70% of Americans work full time and just under 60% of American workers are paid hourly wage.

For example, every factory I’ve worked in has been Full Time hours with hourly wage pay.

It’s mostly Managerial/corporate positions that are salaried afaik.

Why would the Democrats vote this through in 2026. Epstein was murdered during Trump’s first term, in 2019.

The Dems had a house majority from 2019-2023 and never released it.

From 2021-2023 they had the house, the Senate tiebreaker, and the presidency…

1. They are all very good ways of framing the current system as the only system, one which you must just accept.

2. I literally painted an outline above of what it looks like, not just in my mind but in reality. The Muslim/leftist community drew a line on the Gaza genocide, and the Democrats crossed it. The Muslim/leftist community then worked together to make it known that the Democrats were now our enemy for crossing said line.

The Democrats can either cross back, or they can continue their fascist march, while you defend them.

You must exit the slide because if you don’t you will inevitably find yourself supporting fascism, just like how the democratic party defenders are defending Genocide, something I’m sure you all thought would be a solid line only a few years ago. But you crossed it, and will continue to cross any other lines until we reach full implemented fascism, at which point you will wonder why “nobody resisted”…

If you reward rightward shifts with your vote just as well as you reward leftward shifts. Why would they ever move left, instead of banking your vote and trying to secure more and more rightist votes by moving right? How do you beat fascism by marching along a fascist line?

That fight looks like placing your line in the sand, and once it is crossed those on the other side are your enemies, lest you end up following and drawing new meaningless lines.

That fight looks like working within your communities to spread education and recognition about who those enemies are, and building structure in your community so that when the enemy is identified you can work together to ensure the enemy feels your resistance.

After which, they may just cross that line back over, recognizing that you now see them as an enemy and not an ally, and that they need you if they wish to have success.

If they don’t, then that just further reveals their intention was always to march rightward regardless, the only difference is you are no longer marching alongside them and have instead set the groundwork for opposing fascist enemies.

“Pay attention in school, kids, lest you miss learning what a king is”

~ defender of kings prior to their overthrow.

“Pay attention in school kids, lest you miss learning what an autocratic dictatorship is”

~ Cuban Batista defenders prior to the revolution.

“Pay attention in school slaves, lest you miss learning what a slave master is”

~ Southern slaveholder prior to the abolition of slavery.

Yes, when you confine your thinking to only exist within the current system, thats all you can comprehend.

Here’s the thing though, when the choice is between two slides towards fascism, A steep one, and a slightly less but still increasingly steep as you descend one, the only way to escape fascism is not to choose which slide you take, but to build an off ramp.

You will not defeat the system from working within, you need to build external power structures.

So would this not be worse for, for example, people on partial disability benefits who are allowed to retain benefits while working part time but not full time employment?

If nothing changes for them but they are now registered as full time employees, they lose their benefits for nothing in return. Who would this help?

I’m not saying that the law would require all wages to stay the same, I’m saying that without the law specifically stating that wages MUST raise to accommodate, they will stay the same, resulting in overall less payment. We can’t even get a federal minimum wage increase, certainly not a full wage increase tied to an hours reduction.

Yes, why? The example would still ring true with a reduction from 40 to 32 hours.

No, settling for “less bad” instead of fighting for good is what makes the “less bad” continue their march towards fascism.

Very telling you see the only option as voting for “less bad” or “waiting” for them to magically change leftward…

They will never change leftward unless you force them to change.

We are already more productive than any other time in history and we don’t have a 4 day work week.

If we did get a 4 day work week, the owners would not scale our pay to accommodate for less hours on the job. 15/hr over 50 hours would turn into 15/hr over 40 hours, not 18.75/hr over 40 hours.

It’s true that “both sides are bad” is what led us to being closer to fascism than ever.

But you’ve got it backwards.

The “less bad” party being able to count on securing votes simply by being “less bad” allows for the “more bad” party to lead the march, and the “less bad” party to follow while still being “less bad”. This creates a slow march towards fascism while maintaining the illusion of choice in the population instilling passivity as they can always just “vote for less bad”.
