The guy who posted this tweet supports american imperialism and israel btw
There is no horseshoe.
It's much better depicted as a 2D plane, a la Political Compass.
Tankies and Fascists have similarities because they're both hyper-authoritarian, not because being more fascist somehow brings you closer to tankies than your previous close political associations.
I'm so confused by the way he ends so many messages with, "Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Is his brain so thoroughly fried that he can only regurgitate bits of corpo-speak regardless of whether they are applicable?
My headcanon is that someone sent him a letter with that closing 45 years ago and he thought, "That's a classy way to close a letter," so now he always uses it when he wants to feel official.
I also tend to read it as conveying the sentiment, "Please pay attention to me because I fear I will die if you stop paying attention to me."
One thing we know Trump is legitimately good at is manipulating rubes.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter" is actually quite subtle; it's got "you" and "your attention" in the same sentence, making it feel like he could be talking to you personally rather than as a group (compare e.g. Biden's common "May God bless you all").
"Hey, Trump thanked me for my attention, there's a guy who respects and values my time and opinions, and the fact that he says it in every one of his messages only means that he really does care what I think."
People at my work sometimes end emails with this phrase. I treat it as a dog whistle and stop respecting them.
Unsurprising that ShitLibs just look at the surface of something and decide it's the same as something else because of surface similarities. They confuse billionaire owned media for unbiased sources, so it's no wonder they can't tell the tactics of siege communism from they way Fascism imports the tactics of control from the colonies by calling both things "authoritarianism".
Siege communism, this is a thing you said for real.
North Korea has the files, and are blackmailing Trump with it.
Hackers: You can hack hackers to do the funniest shit in the world, if the Lazarus Group happen to have some unredacted Epstein Files on a computer connected to the net.
There's a relationship between hacking and North Korea, but its not in the direction you're proposing.
"Internet, do your thing 😎😂"
werent like half of the files released already?
yeah, I'm sure they only released the incriminating half, the rest is probably nothing
/s
Yeah, just look at all the arrests.... HA!
If you control enough of a given currency you can do whatever the fuck you please.
Yeah, the states have gone to shit ever since they made crime legal (for the rich).
Like attracts like. One egomaniacal narcissistic dictator likes another egomaniacal narcissistic dictator.
