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.

Like attracts like. One egomaniacal narcissistic dictator likes another egomaniacal narcissistic dictator.

[-] Cosmonaut@lemmy.today 1 points 3 minutes ago

Most people who try to describe their enemy “the left” have about as much brain matter as JFK

I was really expecting you to say RFK with that worm business and all, but either work.

Flimsy excuse to post one of my favorite images

Can someone point me at one of these "tankies"? I only ever see strawman posts about how stupid they are.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 3 points 26 minutes ago

Just go to Lemmy.ml

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

It's not a strawman, that's just how how far out of left field they are.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago

Post something controversial like "Stalin killed some of his own people" on .ml and you'll see plenty of them.

Either that or say NK is a dictatorship. When I first got on lemmy I got dogpiled by the hexies because I dared to say NK is a highly propagandized country (even gasp* moreso than the US). Still waiting for even a single one of those guys to move countries to live under the Kim regime, which apparently is the chillest, friendliest place on earth.

US is absolutely more propagandized than NK lmao, NK dont even need to propagandize their people against US, they just need to tell the truth about the horrific crimes US commited there. What has NK ever done against US to be this demonized? lol.

I heard a conservative say the Iran situation is because Trump used to be a democrat and there's still some democrat in him.

A 100% republican would have fixed Iran in 2 weeks.

Nah you see a real republican would have bombed them into submission and sent in the seals to finish the job /s

Fr the only chance of winning would have been by perfectly following the rules of war, showing restraint, and working to arm dissidents and build a resistance capable of running a successful rebellion and governing well. Followed by us helping the new government build itself up. We learned nothing in Vietnam, we learned nothing in Iraq, and by fuck we managed to learn nothing in Afghanistan. We also managed to completely unlearn everything we learned in France, Germany, and Japan.

But had we learned all this we wouldn't have gone in alone, we'd've asked for the UN to call for troops to protect the protesters and worked with the international community to protect human rights.

Damn in hindsight, it's obvious he's a lying piece of shit rapist, but at the time it was obvious too.

Almost like the throughline is authoritarianism. They like it when they have control but they don't like it when who they don't like has control.

Honestly, it feels like those with lower iq and less ability to inform themselves are the ones that love authoritarianism. They can't form a coherent ideology and devolve into just trying to control everyone to their beliefs.

That's where the whole bullshit idea of horseshoe theory comes from. It's people leaving out the authoritarian axis because it's beneficial to divide actual leftists and make us seem crazy.

[-] Cosmonaut@lemmy.today 1 points 19 minutes ago

why do you oppose lifting sanctions on north korea - which is a nation that is one of the biggest victim of US imperialism?

Liberals are just imperialists.

Why is far left trademarked?...
