I don't think that's accurate. Trump is an authoritarian, no question. But fascists actually have a vision for society. A fucked up one, but a vision nonetheless. Trump really only cares about himself.
They're hated for being a Jewish state, both by Leftists and mohammedans.
No, they are being criticised for committing ethnic cleansing and apartheid since their creation, and now genocide. This is a legitimate criticism. Making it about the hate of Jews is a weak attempt at avoiding accountability. There are plenty of Jews who are critical of Israel. By the way, using "mohammedan" to talk about Muslims makes you look stupid.
Entire industries have been built by people discovering products, services, books, games, and tools they genuinely wanted through advertisements.
Can you provide an example of that happening?
Also your whole point is somehow made invalid by the existence of Wikipedia.
You have expressed views and presented them as reality. In doing so, you have conveniently ignored a bit, so I'll ask again: How is cracking down on (illegal) immigration working our for the US? Is there an effect on the price of essential commodities, or on inflation?
Camacho was also ultimately able to work with others for the common good, I think there's a big difference there.
I wonder what future historians will think when they observe the very near release of Idiocracy and election of Donald Trump.
To the first point: entire sectors have grown to depend on the employment of undocumented immigrants. When the right wanted to crack down on illegal immigration in France, restaurant owners protested. Farming and construction are other notorious examples. If you remove that workforce from the country, you automatically raise the cost of a number of things and you slow down the economy. Do with that what you want. And do let me know how that's working out for the US.
To the second point: I do not see where you're going with this. NATO has worked well and we're all happy about that. It is becoming unreliable so the need to not rely on it is increasing. The fact that it has worked in the past is irrelevant to the fact that it is unreliable in the present, and that nobody sane should bet on it being reliable in the future. It's not rocket science.
I think anger might trickle up first.
Thank you for displaying your dishonesty, lack of integrity and/or stupidity. This discussion is now over.
Actually, once you take out the 50 odd muslim countries, most of the world's population has no views on Israel/Jews, one way or another. More often than not, Leftist parties in those countries tend to be anti-Israel, while Rightist parties in those countries tend to be either agnostic or pro-Israel. In the UN, you have a diplomatic club where everybody votes anti-Israel regardless of their own governments b'cos they want to keep getting invited to international cocktail parties in DC. Or b'cos their governments are bribed by countries like Qatar or Turkey to be hostile to Israel
"Once you remove all the inconvenient data points, and embrace the very specific bias that I have, you start to see things my way".
Reality matters. These fifty Muslim countries matter, I don't see why their opinion should be ignored. By the way, having no view on something is not supporting it. The regime in Iran before the Islamic revolution was supported by the CIA, and the Islamic revolution was initially a multipartite revolution that the Islamic fundamentalists appropriated. The population was fed up with the CIA-backed monarchy. Also I'm not sure why you mention "Jews", we were taking about Israel. If you equate Jewishness with Israel then you are just repeating propaganda. There's plenty of Jews all over the world that are critical of Israel - including in Israel.
I'll leave here a reference to this UN vote as an example that what you say is not supported by reality.
You are using a lot of words to confirm that you were lying by omission. How about the US stops all aid to Israel and let's see what happens? The US doesn't seem interested in finding out, and that was already true under Biden. Which all contradicts your claim that Israel can take care of itself. It can't without the support of the US.
You seem to assume that a democratic regime will automatically support Israel. There is no evidence for that. In fact, most of the world's democracies do not support Israel.
Dude seek help, I mean that in the kindest way possible.
Arms, yeah, but every country buys them from a willing seller.
This is a lie by omission. Israel also gets financial support from US taxpayer money, and also gets military support paid for with US taxpayer money. It's not just Israel buying weapons from the US.
These two parties are nationalist parties. Can we please not give any credit to what nationalists want? History books are full of reasons why we should never listen to nationalists.
What do you think would happen to European economies without all these migrants who are there illegally? A number of sectors depend on their employment very heavily. The US are cracking down on (supposedly) illegal immigration, how is that working out for them? The human rights and personal freedom are down the drain, surely there's a benefit? And I mean real measurable benefits. Making racist people happier doesn't count. Did the crackdown have an impact on the cost of groceries?
And yes I have heard of NATO but now you're just making my point for me: the US are making it increasingly clearer that European members of NATO shouldn't rely on NATO, even though the US relied on it quite heavily when invading Iraq and Afghanistan. NATO was a nice idea while it was reliable. I hope it becomes reliable again. Until it does, you are making my point for me.
