I think the question is: what constitutes anti semitism? Is it just criticizing a country or outright calling for the countries and ethnicities extinction? Could be a slippery slope if it's not outright defined.

Edit: it seems like it is defined as even criticism is labeled anti semetic.

I really don’t care about that, because if you’re not a citizen you should shut the fuck up about politics while you’re in my country.

We’re so culturally fucked up we can’t even bring ourselves to be offended when guests are impolite.

Immigration should be a high standard. It being a super low fucking standard is why we have illegals speaking at rallies and protests bragging about how their illegal ass ain’t takin no shit from YT

I told her "no, a guy actually died, it was real." My sister's reaction was "oh... well it's all bullshit anyway."

I feel like i tend to be obnoxiously optimistic sometimes, but I really feel like this is exactly what a dying zeitgeist sounds like.

I've been seeing it all over the place, from my friends, online interactions, just certain "vibe shifts" that I can't really put into words but you can feel it in the air, like something my monkey brain is picking up on. It reminds me so much of the last days of the bush right's post 9/11 patriotism, the tea party, the atheist movement, even smaller things like sports teams losing their momentum and musical genres dying (currently it's happening big time with rap dying).

That interaction with your sister
>Make claim
>Debunked
>Appeal to nihilism
Always happens when people start to realize that deep down, they know they're wrong and were manipulated and lied to. They start to realize they didn't think all this through, they just saw people screaming, got scared, and formed a worldview. It's kind of sad to see honestly.

I'm starting to suspect that Trump doesn't actually have a plan besides manipulating the market every couple of weeks for the next four years.

The plan for decades was to use the threat of economy-crippling tariffs against countries who depend on trade with us to eat and have heat in the winter to get them to lower the unfair trade barriers they've erected against our companies. It is not a hard concept. Yet, somehow, if it causes the stock market to burp for 24 hours, OH MY GAWD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEE BLUUUMPF YOU MOROOOOON.

It's a little more eggheaded than that, but your description does accurately convey how the scale of death is higher with agrarian communists. The Khmer Rouge were another example of agrarian communism in action.

Most modern communists in the US are Maoist bordering on juche (North Korea), which is why they're scarier than your average Marxist-Leninist or Stalinist.

Edit for specificity, in case anyone cares: in Soviet (Marxist-Leninist) communism, which was more urban and industrial, the idea was that you needed a combined effort of different groups who agree on the same set of ideas and goals. Mao thought the true revolutionaries were the rural peasants while Marx and the Russians thought it was the urban poor who would bring about global communism. Soviet- and European-style communism believed that you need an ideological vanguard, a Popular Front (a coalition or, in the case of weirder stuff like juche, a nigh-priestly caste), to keep everything in order. In Maoism, which was more rural and agrarian, the idea was that revolutionary activity was primary and everything else was secondary. In short: you do the revolution first and then figure out what it all means and what it's all for. Popular fronts and coalitions are seen as a hindrance: direct action is necessary, planning too much wastes time. That's why Maoists are so much more violent.

I don’t have the paper with me but I remember reading about how essentially the maoists betrayed the peasants and ultimately served the interests of the cities. And that this frequently occurs with communist revolutions betraying the initial rebels in favor of low ranking bureaucrats and politicians. Essentially they used them and afterwards were afraid of them overthrowing them afterwards, so fucked them up with famine.

I found some cope: “Trump is dropping oil prices and tariffs are so bad they’re accidentally destroying Russia, his ally.”

If Biden actually cared to end the war in favor of Ukraine he would’ve dropped oil prices too because it would’ve hurt Russias ability to fund the war. But imo the majority of the establishment wanted to make money off it, considering how little aid made it to Ukraine. (And Ukrainians being Slavs I imagine a good chunk of the aid they did receive was misappropriated too).

Communism always reverts to oligarchy. Also, Mao didn't really betray the peasants because they accomplished the revolution, you see. There's no Popular Front that was betrayed, no ideology and thus no hypocrisy. Funny how that happens. Tee hee!

Criticism of Israel is decent enough for casual antisemitism, but if they want to stay in our country we're gonna need to hear some hardcore virulent antisemitism. I want to see some screeds and diatribes, not plain ol' "hurr durr free Palestine".

Zion Don at it again. You can hate Whit people Christians even America itself and that will not disqualify you from citzenship meanwhile being "antisemitic" will.

Also They adopted IHRA Definition of antisemitism which makes the most benign criticisms of Jews and Israel equate to antisemitism.

Zionism truly knows no bounds (he spies Martian facebook to protect the chosen people)

What trade barriers? Can you give any examples?

When someone tells you what they're doing, you should believe them.

The Iranian parliament member said he was conjecturing without proof. Using your advice I would believe him that what he was doing was guessing.

The head of Americans Intelligence agencies did the act of assessing and then publishing a report on that assessment. Using your advice I would believe her report was an accurate reflection of her assessment.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill passed the House:

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Victoria Spartz (R-IN) were the only two Republicans to vote against it.

I can’t stand this piece of shit. When did he show up? Is he the replacement Fuentes?

@quaawaa there were also four Republican abstainers and four Democrat yesses

 

[CharlesBarkley]

I only stand for hot big boobed Chinese sluts who will play with my weiner.

So, uh, I guess I’ll never stand with China.

Oh no what a horrible crime, Trump taught Boomers to be Market resilient....

 

[tehpope]

bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.
I wouldn't personally want to stan for china. They do a lot of horrible shit. And only get away with it because the business elites use China as the world's sweatshop.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

I found some cope: “Trump is dropping oil prices and tariffs are so bad they’re accidentally destroying Russia, his ally.”

Well that's how we collapsed the Soviet Union the first time.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill passed the House:

Thank God and with no help from Massie, of course.

Fucking hell not even a few hour in we are in the COMMIES GOOD npc gobblegook.

Posting this for no valid reason ....it not like this ((feat)) of engineering is one failure away from fucking up the ccp.

Spoiler: 3DG

It funny how the 3gd is highlighted again in politics social media.
Remember when the CCP stole dangerous virus strand and information's from Canada biolabs?

Have their rat proxies do some Jewish shenanigan as they infiltrate and spy on other countries.
Buy vast amount of farmland in countries. See Canadas, United states and Mexico.
China directly interferes in Canadian politics.
There a reason Trump go all hard on both.

Mark my words the libs will defend the same political party that killed MILLION of innocents...and forces even more in a dystopian point controlled dictature.
Just a look at YouTube and x and they are already starting to push isn't China fucking great. Look at all those LGB lit sky tramways!
their argument devolves to China have advanced hospital and infrastruce. FALSE
They do have technological mega hospital in only very few selected cities. And even less decent infrastructure.
80% of Chinese citizen doesn't have access to them.
Also, who the fuck want to be 24/7 monitored and given good goy point by a techno-tyranny?
Millions of children are bloody sweatshop slaves.

"Our leaders have stated their desire to utterly destroy their enemies and there was also that time we held diplomats hostage, and all those agreements we went back on, and all those terrorist groups in Palestine and Yemen that we openly support, but just try us guise, we don't want nukes, only energy! :^)"

My answer to that is no. If you want to trust them, go right ahead, but I think that's probably a bad idea.

Hopefully it passes the Senate with no changes.

And the money line is going down! Let the panic resume.

If Biden actually cared to end the war in favor of Ukraine he would’ve dropped oil prices too because it would’ve hurt Russias ability to fund the war.

The president cannot just unilaterally declare oil prices to be lower. Additionally, the US forced Russia to sell oil under market value to willing buyers via a massive sanctions regime. The only thing the US could've done to impact Russian oil even more would have been to physically destroy their export capacity.

“Trump is dropping oil prices and tariffs are so bad they’re accidentally destroying Russia, his ally.”

Retard cope. Oil is down because people are betting on less economic activity in the near future because of economic instability. Trump I think is pretty close to Total Russian Death after Putin basically humiliated him with his total snub of peace talks.
