    What they did in Venezuela was so reprehensible that this is really the only possible defense. You can’t murder a bunch of innocent people to capture a drug trafficker and think that you get the moral high ground. If they can arrest Maduro and bring him to the US, then Venezuela should be able to arrest Trump for murder and bring him to Venezuela.

    There is no moral high ground. There is no good outcome. This is just what happens when evil people gain control of the world’s most powerful military.

    This thread’s title is not sensational. Dudes a childish maniac with influence over the use of nuclear weapons.

    And MAGA worshippers are watching with glee.

    As a non-Merican I hope the Union falls apart before Trump can crown himself King of America.

      As an American, I hope for the same. The New England Federation will probably be pretty chill. Probably high taxes even for the poors though

    How has most of America not heard about this virulent pus bag? He’s on the news constantly, foaming at the mouth, shouting shit that would have gotten him dragged to the gallows by an angry mob any time before 1920 (and even then only because he absolutely would have funded the Pinkertons).

      the majority of america is either so disillusioned with the system or so inherently selfish that they simply don’t care at all unless something “political” directly effects them

          And yet there was a whole saga where world admins claimed being pro Luigi, especially mentioning jury nullification, constituted advocating for violence and they had to remove such posts due to ‘EU law’ according to legal advice they totally received.

          I was banned from a group called Late Stage Capitalism, where one of the rules is you’re not allowed to support the Democrats and another is you’re not allowed to call anyone a “bot” or “tankie” or “paid by Putin”

          They banned me for “NBo anticommunist bullshit”

          I don’t even know what “NBo” means but I’m gonna assume a community that has a rule against calling people “paid by Putin” is not exactly a good bunch of people

            My brother is a solid liberal and hates Trump, but for some unknown reason he hopped on Putin’s dick years ago. Whenever his defense of Putin descends into bad comedy, he claims that if Putin is actually a bad person then the CIA installed him. Which somehow makes him a good person? I dunno. I assume that some random podcasters somewhere are running around defending Putin because podcasts are my brother’s sources for all knowledge.

    The problem this time is that unlike Germany, the US has almost unlimited technology, military force, and the backing of Russia. Fascism usually burns itself out for lack of resources. This time it could take a hundred years.
