That would be a wonderful reality to live in.

I don't know what "flavor" you're looking for. Apparently you have some kind of set of related but different ideas that in your head form the notion of communism. And apparently this notion leads you to think that Bernie or AOC are in favor of communism. But neither of them is in favor of anything that even remotely resembles any commonly accepted definition of communism.

And also other liberals.

Can you name one pro-communism liberal?

EDIT: I will respond with one of either "that's not a liberal" or "they're not in favor of communism"

It's almost as though you don't have anything worthwhile to say.

Neither Bernie nor AOC are pro-communism.

Also communism is not socialism.

Shut up bubble boy!

• liberals, probably

When did he say this? I can't really find a source. Otherwise it's about as believable as this: Martti, what do we think about China?

• "Well, they've been on the forefront of EVs for the better part of this new millenium, and have lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. Sure, they have some human rights abuses, but when I compare this for example to the dozens of violent military incursions that the US has carried out in foreign nations, resulting in the deaths of millions, I cannot but conclude that on the whole, the influence of modern day China has been a net positive, and that focussing on them for their human rights abuses rather than the much more voluminous and needlessly cruel actions of modern day USA, is missing the mark quite badly"

That's a direct quote btw.

Not a lot of people learn that kind of history. I'm meeting gen z kids who barely know Iraq even happened. One million dead, based on a lie, and it takes one generation to completely forget it.

He denies using a shock collar on his dog, but looking at the evidence gathered through old videos, still frames from new videos, and from people who personally interacted with the dog would suggest that to be a lie. I do not know if he still uses a shock collar on his dog since the latest controversy.

Tbh this is enough for me to doubt the validity of pretty much everything else you've said. If you're so uncritical as to fall for this, what else will you fall for?

I've been gregging my doucette furiously to that pic.

"Western order" to me means Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, East Timor, Iraq, Afghanistan, colonialism, the silent holocaust (the one in guatemala), Guantanamo bay, Pinochet, the genocide in Palestine, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Iran, etc. The author mentions "western order" as though it's a good thing. It's not. Not saying we should all ally with Putin, but I really don't consider what we, the west, have done to the world a good thing.

Doesn’t NL’s government also suffer from the neoliberalism-slash-nazi plague recently?

Nothing recent about it. The Netherlands has had a liberal government for at least three decades, with all the cuts to public services and overtures to the private sector that come with that.

D66 and Volt oppose the US

This is not true in any meaningful sense. Their words are a bit fighty, I guess, but they vote and advocate for everything that the US asks for.

PvdA,GL,CU

Social democrat is a very, very strong term to describe these parties. PvdA has been neoliberalized since Kok, and GL since Halsema. Not sure about CU. They're basically the Clinton and Blair of their respective parties, and the parties haven't recovered since.

I never understood why they ended USAID. It has been such a fantastic tool for destabilizing non-allies, so democrats and republicans alike should love it. And aside from that, it also did some actual good stuff like medical aid, so even progressives like it. It seems like such a win win, yet here we are. Is it just incompetence?

Thank goodness he lives in a country where the cancer hospitals haven't been bombed out of existence with weapons funded by the United States under the leadership of Joe Biden.

I'm a simple man; I see slop, I press the down arrow and block the poster.

"Such weather we're having huh?"

Truly peak romance

What he did was right. Yes, much like how Hitler's death would've been sad for Eva Braun had she still been alive, Brian Thompson's death is sad for those who survive him, but the world is a brighter place for it.
