This never ending animosity is the sadest thing in my lifetime

I am soon 53, and this never ending hate between so many people over these last few years is the sadest thing to happen in my lifetime. While I have always thought that the EU should streamline more, and I also support talking about issues that need to be solved, what is happening now is something else. I support Trump when he says that Europe must take more care of its own defense, that is fair. What do not support is an environment in which there is so much animosity that one no longer can say anything, however moderate, out of fear of being mowed down in now man's land.

So, you're old enough to know better.

I support Trump

And yet you unironically side with a Rapist, a Pedophile, and a convicted felon.

Stop with the crocodile tears. You're not sad. You're a psychopath.

You have cut two sentences in half? I have not said that I was a Trump supporter? I said that one particular view is something I also share. If Hitler denies that the earth is flat, it is still not flat? And I am not saying Trump is Hitler either. But one view. What if Trump said that people should drink water?

I guarantee you there are better people to align your opinions with. You chose that particular person for a reason. Whatever that reason was isn't good enough to overcome the fact that Trump is a pedophile and you chose to say "I agree with that pedo."

People don't reference Ted Kaczynski's academic works if they can cite someone else. People don't tend to bring up Jared Fogle's Subway commercials in a positive light now that he's in prison. There's nobody talking about, "But what about the good things Jeffrey Epstein did?"

One again, the scumbag doth protest too much.

Let me play the devil's advocate here, and say: Harvey Weinstein was a brilliant producer. Is it true or is it not true?

The devil doesn't need more advocates. But thank you for letting us know that you're cool with rapists and pedophiles. Most likely because you are one yourself.

I am not saying that I am OK with rapists. I am saying that his professional skills have been more than documented. His personal flaws are another matter alltogether.

Incorrect. The only "professional skill" he has is lying. You have simply chosen to believe the lies rather than admit that you've been duped.

Your fragile ego is not evidence of his capability. You're talking about a man with extremely advanced dementia and narcissistic personality disorder. He's not competent. Like you, he's a psychopath.

This is incorrect. Lying and mistreating women are flaws he has IN ADDITION to being a brilliant movie producer. Just like Werner von Braun was good at rocket engineering IN ADDITION to being a mass murdering Nazi. The earth is not flat regardless of who makes the claim. Oscar Wilde said "books are either well written or badly written. That is all."

Amazing. You just proved you're a worthless scumbag too.

so much animosity that one no longer can say anything, however moderate, out of fear of being mowed down in now man’s land.

Like....?

You can still say anything, no one is going to kill you. You're just scared of people disagreeing with you. Poor baby.

I give people a little grace considering what some of them have done. People are angry and that's valid too. Unfortunately, the only way out of this mess is together, until both sides see that, this is what we get.

Demanding NATO countries pay more for their own defense is the only thing I agree with Trump on. It's good for them and I'm sure they see that now with Russia rattling sabers at them all.

We need to continue pointing out every chance we get that the billionaires are behind all of our problems. They work every day, using their power to antagonize us, set us against each other, distract us, and gaslight us.

No war but the class war.

Your entire post is just contradictions after contradictions.

NATO is nothing but a tool for the US to project power and to subjugate non-western aligned countries into submission. There has never been a case where NATO was defensive, only offensive. Not to mention the entire NATO leadership during its founding were all high-ranking NAZI officials.

No war but the class war.

Impossible to do if you're incapable of detecting billionaire propaganda and repeating it like you did right here

The very uneven distribution of wealth is something that I living in Europe also think is a problem in the US. But US voters must decide this. What I think is natural may not be what they are used to, and if they cannot sell this argument in the US there is nothing i can do about it? It is not a war. They simply must convince people that they must look at how economic policies affect themselves, and not so much about other things. If this is implemented, will I be better off etc
