Liberals: "See Russia did this, all bad things in America aren't our fault!"

I imagine the whole thing comes down to libs thinking that the western system is the peak of human development. So when they see it failing visibly, they can't accept that there might be structural problems within liberalism itself that are the cause. And thus it must be nefarious foreign actors and their collaborators trying to tear down their perfect society. This was perfectly summed up in the whole garden and jungle slip by Borrell.

Here, Bruges is a good example of the European garden. Yes, Europe is a garden. We have built a garden. Everything works. It is the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion that the humankind has been able to build - the three things together. And here, Bruges is maybe a good representation of beautiful things, intellectual life, wellbeing.

The rest of the world – and you know this very well, Federica – is not exactly a garden. Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden. The gardeners should take care of it, but they will not protect the garden by building walls. A nice small garden surrounded by high walls in order to prevent the jungle from coming in is not going to be a solution. Because the jungle has a strong growth capacity, and the wall will never be high enough in order to protect the garden.

The gardeners have to go to the jungle. Europeans have to be much more engaged with the rest of the world. Otherwise, the rest of the world will invade us, by different ways and means.

MAGA is inherently Russian propaganda, prove me wrong

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

No. MAGA is inherently American propaganda and the whole Russiagate thing has been thoroughly debunked. MAGA is as American as apple pie kiddo.

Thoroughly a Russian operation, try again

Try again yourself when you learn basic math. The amount of money these influencers received from Russia is a drop in a bucket. US right wing oligarchs literally spent billions funding MAGA. Musk alone spent ungodly amounts buying twitter. But hey, I didn't expect blueMAGA champ here to be rational. You people are just a mirror of the same cult.

Alberta is in Canada.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And propaganda is coming from south of the border. Perhaps you failed geography at school and think that's Russia?

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

It is very likely an overlap of both.

Many of the things Trump has been doing are the sorts of things that are more beneficial for Putin's interests than they are for the interests of US citizens.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago

Nah, what Trump is doing is beneficial to the interests of the oligarchs who own the US. He works in the interests Thiel, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Koch brothers, and so on. Meanwhile, the whole conspiracy theory that Russia controls Trump is absolutely hilarious when you look at the fact that he's surrounded by zionists and that Israel literally brags how Americans report to them on everything they do.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Oh it’s imported propaganda eh. Hm. I guess there really is only one place that could be from then. /s

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

Again, watches Americans trying to annex part of Canada and keeps braying about Russia. Really should check yourself for brainworms asap.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Man, America isn’t “trying to annex” Alberta. No one in America, who isn’t a sociopathic demented rapist, wants to “annex” any part of Canada.

There is a . . . “school of thought” for lack of a better word, that supports multiple divisioning efforts such as Brexit, Texit, Calexit, and yes Albexit or wtfe they end up calling it (See also: Germany). And that school is very much in league with the FSB both financially and politically.

You need to know this because this russian-puppet fascist mountain of shit we’re under down here, the MAGA politics, is coming for you. Cambridge Analytica tactics haven’t changed. It works the same way every time.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Its not impossible. The states took over Venezuela, an oil rich country, and shortly after declared a war that disrupted oil supply and production in the middle east. I highly doubt these two actions are not connected in some way. Alberta could be one of the next targets as America tries to secure energy and mineral dominance in the west aas well as secure more food and water.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Well, nothing is impossible, but some things are improbable. The US invading Alberta to steal the oil is, to put it mildly, highly improbable. That anyone would feel the need to talk about it with any credence is already too much to give the idea.

To reiterate my point, had certain people opted to vote for progress instead of doing everything to prevent it, there would have been no Venezuela, no middle east oil crisis. But they hate what they don’t understand too much, so here we are. Just as putin preferred. But they want to pretend that’s coincidence.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Trump should have never won a first term, let alone a second, thats the timeline we are in. Fringe as it may be, there is a strong vocal minority of Alberta that wants to seperate and the Trump administration will jump on that opportunity if it gains enough wind.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Trump administration is as incompetent as the day is long. It will never happen. And separatist movements online aren’t coming from America, unless from russia by way of MAGA.

November will tell what the next two years will be like.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

America is literally funding a separatist movement in Canada and their rapist in charge has openly talked about making Canada the 51st state. Also, big news to me that Koch brothers, Thiel, Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos are Russian. Or maybe Tim Cook, who donated a million to Trump's inauguration and gifted him a gold plaque, is Russian. Sure fooled me.

The US is a fascist state that's a menace to the world, and that's been raping and pillaging this planet since its inception. This travesty of a nation was literally built on genocide that inspired German nazis.

You keep on braying about Russia though there being the useful idiot that you are. Fuck the Burger Reich and the scum who carry water for it. You are all complicit.

I thought maybe I missed something in the article so I checked again but no. There’s nothing in there about that and there’s nothing anywhere about that. Make it up for yourself I guess?

Stupid fuck. Do you think this has never happened before? Do you think maybe it was crystal clear 10 years ago? Do you think maybe some people know more about it than you? No. No you don’t.

Look at this:

Joe Trotz, who lives in the Crowsnest Pass and supports Alberta independence, also rejected the messaging in the videos.

“I totally think that’s wrong. I mean, facts are facts. Let them speak for themselves, good or bad, you know, and then let people make up their own mind.”

Jeffrey Rath, general counsel for Stay Free Alberta, also distanced the Alberta independence movement from annexation messaging. . . . “As far as I’m concerned, those videos aren’t helping Alberta independence. We wish to be a free and independent country.”

you’re doing it to yourself you fucking moron. THAT’S HOW IT WORKS. That’s how it’s designed. Yeah, the genius trump is funding and directing this. The guy who can’t manage to put two sentences together. Idiot.

Also, were you educated at a clown school? Colonizers murdered so many people that it literally changed the climate of the whole planet https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47063973

German nazis were directly inspired by this genocide and US policies in 1930s https://www.history.com/articles/how-the-nazis-were-inspired-by-jim-crow

The only stupid fuck here is you ignoramus. Imagine being so utterly stupid to think Trump isn't just the frontman for the US oligarchs. You're an utter imbecile buddy.
