Remember when Trump attacked Syria with rockets and a bunch of most crazy libs were like "this is what the left did by electing Trump". Before the left was able to point out that this was Hillary's stated policy during the 2016 primaries and general election, Hillary gave an interview for some TV network and said that Trump didn't send nearly enough missiles and needs to start a full scale invasion of Syria? That was a fun week.

China's economy has missed expectations and they are fiddling with interest rates. What, are they more conservative than your average Keynesians there? Invest directly, give money to workers to start worker-owned businesses. WTF, do socialism!

The current government of Israel has like ~98% support in US Congress and is able to get whatever it wants. But still they are going after the remaining 2%.

I think that some very pro-Ukraine voices (especially in the media and Dem establishment) are angry that this counteroffensive is not going well... but they aren't willing to admit that NATO forced Ukraine into it, so they have to just bemoan how bad it is going. Ukraine made a deal with Russia very early into the war, but as soon as NATO found out about it, Boris Johnson arrived in Ukraine for a completely unscheduled visit and told Ukrainian officials that we will fuck them up (their positions in the government and their future employment prospects) if they don't cancel the deal. The same with this counteroffensive, we told them to do it.

They never "fall for it". They are enthusiastic participants.

It probably won't go beyond just "asking questions" and "what if" discussions, but even so. From 2015 to 2023, just talking about class in any way was considered 'racist and sexist' in lib circles. I guess they want to shift their rhetoric closer to the left for the 2024 elections, but not proposing any policies that this rhetoric would logically imply. Look, you stupid leftists, we are talking the same way that Bernie did in 2016/2020, you should support Joe 2024!

It is still too early to celebrate, but this would be such a huge deal, holy fuck.

Governments everywhere are going with the new definition of anti-government protest: "It is only a good protest if you are doing it alone, quietly and on your private property". Unless you are doing BDS, then even just quietly not buying a product can be a crime.

They are really trying to destroy one of the most anti-racist people in politics. This just proves that there is simply no compromising with the liberals, they will try to destroy the left no matter what.

The Dems would be doing the same to Bernie if he wasn't Jewish. This will be a huge problem for the next big left-wing candidate, he/she will be accused of antisemitism.
