  • Macron: ‘No amount of intimidation’ will change EU nations’ course on Greenland

  • Good luck mate. I wish you were right. I really do.

    The curse of being a Marxist is that I'm right; but too early. You can save this comment if you want. We can reflect on it in a year or two when your leaders have failed miserably to put up any defense against the American empire.

    The American empire is dying. You are right. But if you think it dies without taking every western country with it; well, you don't understand how the last 30 years have worked. Or history in general. You aren't living outside of history, you can't run from what happens when an angry empire lashes out. I'd be preparing and not ignorantly thinking you will weather the storm without any preparation.

  • I'm sorry. But you are incredibly ignorant of how the world works and have far too much faith in your social democratic policies that will be the first to be cut as the world changes. You'll see in another year or two. You should be organizing resistance to this change. Not blindly trusting your superior system.

    Good luck mate. Maybe you'll remember this a year from now as you start to notice the decline.

  • China's economy grows 5% in 2025, buoyed by strong exports despite Trump's tariffs

  • Western media headline:

    China's economic growth slows by 50%!

    Just a normal result of development. Going from 10% to 5% in a growing economic system like China is entirely normal and expected. But it is refreshing to not see a click bait headline for these numbers for once.

    Edit: for those wondering. Imagine a country with no electrical grid produces a major grid in a year. This would undoubtedly increase economic growth substantially in that year. So the next year would look to be significantly worse by comparison in terms of the rate of growth. That is essentially what I'm talking about.

    You should always be skeptical of headlines that refer to the rate of change in something. It would be like looking at a high speed train and saying "the rate of speed has not increased in the last 30 minutes!" all while traveling at a constant speed of 300 kmph that entire time.

  • Get that Nazi shit out of your brain. We all have reactionary ideas like this imbedded in us from growing up in western society. So, please, I beg you, purge that "it's in their genes (blood)" and "iq" shit from your brain. It's just a modern version of "blood and soil" even if you didn't mean it that way.

  • oof.

  • In hindsight. Yes. But there is still this idea of decency that exists in our society. Not to say it's a bad thing. But it's still unfortunately being given to the SS troops of our time. It will take time, unfortunately, for the symbols of modern day oppression to be viewed as clearly as the Nazi symbols of the past.

    We need to normalize the idea of ICE as a symbol of evil as much as the Nazi Swastika or Red Sun flag are today.

    That, and you're basically asking a Jew in Nazi Germany to not serve an SS troop. I don't expect that level of courage from myself. So I won't expect that from anyone else.

  • Gov. Tim Walz encourages Minnesotans to film ICE agents for future prosecutions

    Jump

  • (1) Give citizens the confidence that the state police have been directed to enforce state laws that ICE breaks. ICE coming to peoples doors without warrants signed by a judge are TRESPASSING according to state law. Tell them that the police have direct to enforce state law.

    (2) If police are refusing to enforce state law and trespass ICE. Fire them.

    You can say "oh, he can't do that because he doesn't control..."

    No, he's the governor. He has the political power to do this. You are fundamentally misunderstanding the direct powers vs. political powers. He has the political power to do this.

    The major appoints the police chief. Walz has political power and influence over the mayor of Minneapolis. The major has political power to remove the police chief and replace them with someone that WILL fire officers.

    Yes, this takes people in the state actually working together to enforce the law. Yes, the governor does not have power alone. But this is how politics works man.

    The "rules" I'm referring to are about breaking this established order that I'm referring to. Breaking those rules means actually pressuring (or in some cases removing) people in their positions that refuse to defend the citizens of the state. Breaking the rules means using the state power to defend citizens against the federal invasion.

    But Walz isn't even doing that. He's not messaging in a way that brings the power of the citizens to his side. He is not being "strategic" he is being a pushover. He's rolling over and showing his belly.

    If he was smart (or cared) he'd already be messaging to the people that "the police WILL ensure ICE is arrested if they a breaking the law". This would light a fire under the asses of the people under him (mayor, police chief) to actually be held accountable for enforcing the law of the state. What ICE is doing is illegal according to state law. If they want a legal battle make it clear that this is a constitutional crisis of state vs. federal powers by actually challenging those federal powers with state and city law enforcement.

    If all of that fails. Call in the national guard in the name of the state. Before Trump does.

    Right now. He's putting himself and the state in a position to "lose without a fight". He needs to fight even if it that means he ends up losing.

    Yes, the police or national guard may not comply. But, they are literally already being used to defend ICE NOW? Like, what are you even arguing against? The worse case in that is ALREADY HAPPENING because Walz and Frey have done nothing to change that.

  • My friend, if you trust your neoliberal politicians to not bend the knee to Trump and their own capitalist class; you'll soon be enjoying our lack of healthcare.

    Please, this is not a "anti European" position. Don't confuse it for such. This is an American warning you. Unless you personally are willing to go die for Greenland, don't expect others to. If you are, more power to you, but you'd be sitting in an insignificant minority of Europeans.

  • Gov. Tim Walz encourages Minnesotans to film ICE agents for future prosecutions

    Jump

  • Dude. You are literally trying to argue about doing nothing. Pointing to "rules" that he can't break while the fucking president has SS troops going door to door asking for papers.

    Can you please have some perspective here? The state governor can break the rules too. There is precedent for it with the fucking president invading his state.

    Why? Why are liberals more interested in restricting themselves to the rules while the entire time the right is shitting on the constitution?

    The Trump administration is going to lie and say you are a "radical leftist terrorist". Can we please start actually treating the situation with the "radical leftist" response is requires? That's what we need!

    Please understand this. You are going to get dragged to the camps screaming "but my rights! I followed the rules!"

  • Did I say people shouldn't film ICE? The point of the judicial system is to prosecute crime. This guy is a governor. His job is to use his power and the police to PREVENT crime.

    You're ignoring the entire point of my comment.

    If the police are saying they support ICE doing crime. You remove those police from power. He's the governor!

    Deputize the citizens that are actually defending their neighborhoods from ICE. He has power that he refuses to use.

    You can't spend the next 3 years not using state power to defend your citizens. Trump is escalating. He should be using everything at his disposal to counter federal powers with his state powers. Otherwise, we are done. There is only federal and there is only fascism. People that don't want to be abducted by ICE are being told indirectly "your only option is your own acts of self defense and violence. The state will do nothing until you have already been killed/taken. Just 'trust us' to save you in 3 years"

  • I don't think you understand what "class war" means. (1) One class can be fighting it while the other class is not. See Americans for an example.

    (2) There is no "end" to class war when the working class "gets a living wage". The capitalist class will always chip away at your wage and social programs. They are doing that now in Europe.

    You don't understand what I was even referring to when talking about class conflict. Here is a test: do you think "class" is dependent on how much money you make? If the answer is "yes, a Doctor is clearly of a different class than a janitor" then you have no idea what I'm talking about.

    The way you talk about it makes me think you are just misunderstanding what I was talking about at a fundamental level.

    I'm talking about class in the Marxist sense.

  • Dude, there is a case in American history for doing genocide of natives too. What is your "defense" of Trump here? Like, I don't disagree with you that American Imperialism is not unique to Trump - but you seem to be saying this makes it justified? Maybe I'm reading your comment wrong though.

  • No. I was literally just wondering to get a context for your comment. But based on your comment I'm gonna assume you're not.

    I responded to another one of your comments so ending replies here. I realized from your other comment that you have no idea what I meant when I referred to "class"

  • Yeah. Sorry, I'm use to liberals responding with "don't poke the beast" as they're alone in a cage with it. So I jumped to frustration. I agree. He could absolutely deploy the national guard and create a constitutional crisis. We need a stand to be taken.
