  • Chrystia Freeland resigning as Toronto MP on Friday

    Jump

  • She has repeatedly supported the Ukrainian far-right including Right Sector, a Ukrainian neo-nazi group. She made many statements about her Grandfather Mikhail Chomiak being her hero and inspiring her current political viewpoints.

    This was, in my opinion, the most egregious and disingenuous use of Russiagate hysteria, in that her often praise of her Nazi supporting grandfather Mikhail Chomiak became broader knowledge outside of the Ukrainian-Canadian far-right, but that even though it is true that her positions and decision to get into politics were inspired by her Nazi grandfather. The fact that you know about it is part of "Putin's desinformatsiya" and if you let the knowledge that her positions were inspired by her agreeing with her Nazi grandfather cause you to like her less, you are falling prey to Putin. Because it is Russian disinformation that you know about this true thing that she is not willing to dispute.

    Additionally, her mother and brother were working with the Ukrainian right-wing in their privatization during shock-therapy and the suppression of the left wing. Even though that is not exclusive to being Nazi, given her unwillingness to disavow or critique her grandfather's pro-Nazi stances and the Mother and Brother's position within the family, it is more than suggestive.

  • She's probably moving on to some other powerful role, but it is nice for a Nazi to leave Canadian government. I wish I loved anything as much as Canadian government loved supporting and whitewashing Nazis.

  • Always remember that the democrats are right wing

  • That is their entire point. Two party system means that they can take up all space for opposition to Republicans while making their policies bipartisan.

    The Democratic party is entirely built to fight any leftward movement, it isn't just that the progressives didn't try. They have been trying for 80 years. It is that the entire party is structured and designed to fight that. That is the actual reason Trump could come from the outside and completely reshape the Republicans, but the Dems can form rank and resist Bernie and the progressives.

    The Democrats have shown overwhelmingly and repeatedly that they would rather lose to Republicans than move at all to the left.

  • All definitions of "AutHoRItaRiaNisM" that .world, piefed, or other right-wing lemmy instances subscribe to is anything that modern centrist liberals don't like or involve "political violence". Lincoln and John Brown would be "Violent Authoritarians" according to modern liberals if they existed today.

    It goes back to the definition of a liberal: A liberal is anyone that is anti-war, except for all the current wars and is in favor of liberation struggles, except for any that are still ongoing.

  • "the problem is that people don't fully support the Democrats unconditionally. Not that the Democrats only run on being 'Republican Lite' and Republican voters wont support the Lite option when full calorie is on the menu"

  • The entire point of the Biden and Biden/Harris campaign was to make Trump term 1 bipartisan. "No, if you hate immigrants, you should vote for me. Because Democrats fill out the paperwork properly and like bureaucracy, so ICE will work more efficiently and the Wall will be built better, faster and cheaper" - Both Biden and Harris campaigns

  • Lets just say, they protested and did direct action. Which is more meaningful and has a greater positive effect than some kayfabe like voting.

  • Mamdani’s Support for Palestinian Rights Was Instrumental to His Win, Poll Finds

    Jump

  • This has really been the obvious problem with the Democrats and their voice-pieces. "We just need a liberal Joe Rogan" or "We just need to get as good at messaging as Mamdani". All of the Democratic consultants and proponents think that what you believe or stand for doesn't matter, as long as you focus group the exact phrasing or pitch right or find a more convincing mouthpiece.

    Maybe the problem is that the Democrats believe in nothing, will fight for nothing, nor want to accomplish anything. They just think that they can be vacuous empty suites and as long as they can accurately focus group their phrasing they will be able to win. And actually having beliefs and principles hurt you, because maybe not 100% of people would agree with them.

  • For example, many say this about the Israeli/Arab conflict. However, this conflict is thousands of years old. The Israelis solidly lost a war to keep their land in the BC era

    This is incredibly historically illiterate on multiple fronts. The Israeli/Palestine conflict only dates back to 1948, with precursors in 1930s. First, Israel wasn't lost to "Arabs" in "the BC". The Babylonians were not Arab and the exile of Jews in the 6th century BC were cultural elites and not the broader population. It was part of an attempt to assimilate Judah into the broader Babylon empire. That was defeated by the Persian empire and Judeans were allowed to return to Judea (now Southern Israel). The traditional idea of the beginning of the Diaspora was the destruction of the second temple in 70 AD and the violent expulsion of parts of Jerusalem by the Romans. Though the vast majority of the real diaspora was from immigrants to major Roman cities predating the destruction of the Second Temple and not Jerusalem exiles.

    The majority of people that were living in what is now considered Israel were not Arab invaders, but the native peoples that have always lived there that, after the Arab conquest of the 8th century, started to speak Arabic and convert to Islam. The difference between a Mizrahi Jew and a Palestinian is most likely whether one of their ancestors converted to Islam in the last 13 centuries.

    Not that Iron Age Philistines, Samaritans, Canaanites, etc. were secret proto-muslims secretly waiting for the Romans to purge Jews so that two millennia later "real Arabs" could occupy the "promised land".

  • I don't speak Japanese, but it is a combination of slang and lack of formal addresses, conjugations, or cases. Like Romance languages having formal and informal versions of "you" and using terms like monsieur.
