JD Vance stuns Munich conference with blistering attack on Europe’s leaders
-
He’s nothing more than a performer now. Ask yourself every time: who is he performing for right now that he believes will increase his political power? I’m not sure why he wants power. He wouldn’t know what to do with it.

Dear Goober-Veep,
The threat from within is the Nazis, not the people who refuse to listen to the Nazis. They’ve been handling Nazis longer than you’ve been alive. Shut your fucking pizza pie hole.

This timeline starts to feel more and more like the fourth season of Lexx.

For Vance, this is just “otherism”. It’s an old trick — your problems are not something you actually need to take responsibility for — it’s all the fault of the “others” in your country. While migration may be a hot mess, the republicans play the card of “all crime is due to these others”. Pay no attention to the grifters elected in the US currently stealing all your money and data.

Well got to min max and humans historical max out the Intel Stat versus other animals so it's traditionally move. Plus you know, massive embezzlement opportunities.

If they could stop drinking for a couple decades I think they could do some awesome stuff. When the Soviets first took power they were prohibitionists, and that generation of Russians went on to beat the Nazis and launch Sputnik, despite Stalin.
Russia feels like the kid in school who you know is abused but is an asshole because of being abused. The Golden Horde was awful, to be sure, but we all need to let the healing happen.

Reminds me of family guy Ireland before whisky.

If they ever do, maybe They can something like in Atomic Heart. Good communist technology for all people to enjoy
right now I'm questioning if murica can not be a cyberpunk dystopia. Which would also fall in like with Atomic Heart.... -
Indeed. Which makes it an even bigger problem that there are hardly enough moderate politicians saying "here's what we hear you saying about migration and he's what we will actually do to rectify that"
-
Alienating whatever remaining trade partners you had outside of the two local ones, which your friends in the administration tariffed and threatened to annex, is going to go tremendously. Sure are making America First... to find out what happens when no other country is willing to sell their resources to us.

He's just reading what his Russian speech writer told him to.

"Mishandling migration" is a pessimist position. With this position you can be wrong all the time, and then when an event occurs that false in the pessimistic view "you" claim full victory.
It is similar to the story of doctors and a terminal patient that keeps outliving the diagnosis (although doctors dont celebrate the moment thay are proven right).For example why "populist concerns" are not to be taken too seriously are football hooligans. True (white) nationals tearing down city centres, yet you don't hear anything about "bad integration" or "religion of peace", or any conversation from that corner.
-
Migration being a model for creating both a scapegoat and a lowest of the low wage slavery class is a capitalist and fascist strategy. Vance acts as a critic of it, but right wingers, populists, are never onboard with enabling new residents to have better chances, education, work etc.
-
It’s a good point you make.
-
I completely forgot about that show. What a trip
-
I prefer to think of it as likening his opinions to cold sores.

Fuck off with that BS. We don't need you authoritarians to illegitimise our leaders, insert a racism wedge between us and misrepresent what our "populous" wants. We know that our values are not aligned with a conservative, VP-to-fucking-trump,
Putin's puppet, project 2025 POS. And we don't need to look for a "threat of within" when we need to stand united against russia and now US influence.When AfD neo nazis, the richest asshole in the world, the US leadership, Putin and north Korea all praise and support each other we can see through your BS.
-
Unless AfD gains power. Which is one of the reasons they want AfD to gain power. Part of the new Axis is part of the old Axis.
-
Also makes me think of a guy I know who I went to high school with, just incredibly smart. Ended up getting to the National Science Fair and got an honorable mention and also a bunch of newspaper attention. Fifteen years later, he was in prison for getting caught with a backpack full of meth cooking equipment.

death to america?

"Mishandling migration" is a pessimist position
If you follow that logic nobody is allowed to genuinely criticise immigration policy.
