People can't help where they're born.

Sometimes its more traumatic to encourage their musical taste than to berate it.

Relax

Why did they take Ctrl+Shift+S away?????

I'm done trying to argue around your strawmen. You clearly have no interest in even trying to comprehend what I'm saying. Toodles

I know all about how Gaddafi died and how the Clintons are sociopaths. Doesn't change the fact that unilaterally kidnapping Maduro is a new level of brazen, because it removes even the weak normative barriers that were in place before, when the US at least tried to manufacture consensus for its bullshit. You will undoubtedly claim that doesn't matter, but it does. Trump has lowered the internationally accepted barrier to foreign fuckery in a way that will have lasting ramifications.

Most of the people ICE has killed this year alone aren't white.

I'm not white.

Again, saying Trump is worse doesn't mean America was good before.

AKA, threatened white countries instead of the other guys. This is worse somehow.

Not instead. In addition to. Which, yes, is worse.

Remember when Obama murdered Gaddafi and turned Libya into a slave-state? America’s history of regime change has its own Wikipedia…

Yes, I know my government loves regime changing other countries. Trump has escalated the level of brazenness with which we'll do it, which makes him worse. You seem to think that saying Trump is worse implies that our past leadership wasn't bad.

Most “foreign aid” provided by America is used to make the global south dependant on their help and further entrenches colonialism.

Yes, USAID was primarily a vehicle for soft power, and much of our "aide" was actually just propaganda (Voice of America, etc). But cutting off food and medicine to millions of poor people is objectively worse than not doing that.

Breaking treaties is probably the most American thing in history. How do you think the country was founded?

You seem to be a victim of binary thinking. Are you incapable of recognizing that breaking ALL the treaties all at once is different from breaking some treaties some of the time, even if the latter is also bad?

Your argument is petty and unsubstantiated.

Obligatory disclaimer: I am anti Imperialist and anti Capitalist. The American Empire has been a force for oppression and destruction since its founding.

OK, now, saying that Trump is basically the same as other presidents on foreign policy is ridiculous. In just a little over a year into his second term he has continued to brutalize the same people and countries that the US has historically but has also:

• engaged in economic warfare against nearly every country on the planet
• threatened military action against the US' closest allies
• kidnapped the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country
• cut off virtually all foreign aide
• Unilaterally pulled out of just about every treaty to which our government was a party

He is objectively worse than our status quo bad and arguing otherwise is just petty and ignorant.

Convincing random internet dickheads that they're being dickheads is exhausting and demoralizing.

Are you always such a prick?

I'm not sure I wanna know

He's not in the Epstein files, right? I don't think I could take that big of a blow to my childhood nostalgia.
