European leaders throw support behind Zelenskyy after heated Trump meeting
-
I can’t find it right now, but there was actually an interview where someone asked Donald Trump about the Russian invasion of the Crimea area and he didn’t know how to respond & came off sounding like a complete dickhead 
-
Did I imply that? EU has done more than the US on this issue, but to galvanize in this context means to excite or stimulate. After 3 years it's rather easy to grow complacent, and scenes like this remind people to remain pissed off.
-
Yeah, unfortunately with how people think, you're probably right. The average person anywhere isn't noticing a global trend here.
-
Yes you did imply that.
To "push someone towards supporting Ukraine" implies that they are not currently and have not been supporting them.
You could have said "I hope it strengthens their support" or "...pushes them to continue supporting...". I reacted because there's lots of people in the US thinking Europe has done nothing and it's all been the US, which is straight Trump/Putin disinformation.
-
With this single "conversation" they undermined every security deal they had anywhere in the world.
I disagree. If it was a single conversation the world would be shocked but they could still cover it up. Politicians say dumb shit and walk it back all the time.
It's the fact that his first term was already such a blundering mess in terms of diplomacy, combined with the fact that he somehow got re-elected, the accelerating bullshit ever since and now finally this mess. If they hadn't been chipping away at any international goodwill so thoroughly, the response would be closer to "I can't believe a US president would say that" rather than "the US as a whole is no longer reliable".
-
Do you know if they still support BTC donations? There were tweets about it a couple years ago but nothing on the main site says they do.
-
I've been seeing this attitude a lot the last few days "I see that you're doing something, but it's not a total and immediate fix, so fuck off". And you just know that the ones doing the criticizing haven't done and don't plan to do jackshit, because that same mindset justifies inaction in themselves. Either this place as a terrible pessimism problem (believable, Occam's razor and all that) or there's some people being actively, intentionally discouraging (idk, I don't doubt it. I've seen crazier propaganda).

disgusting to watch
Many people said they were embarrassed for the U.S.
-
"Sorry Russia, you're going to have to step up and remove your corrupt leaders and I'll be happy when you do"
Fucking how? Organize? Organize what, a fucking civil war? Sorry you're a "bit pissed" that 70% of Americans have to live under a captured techno-fascist state they didn't vote for.
You really don't understand how America works if you think we can hold some magical snap election or wave our pea-shooter 2nd amendment shotguns in the face of the largest and most advanced military in the world...
This doesn't get solved without major moves by internal government factions or foreign intervention, no matter how warm and fuzzy videos of a big protest will make you feel.

They don’t have a problem with fascists. They don’t have a problem with idiots. They have a problem with leftists who want to make the world a better place.

Agree. It's impossible to discern intent imo, but it is super wild how many people think this way, to the point where I actually think they should be considered a different political movement (or lack of movement).
These politics at their core are fundamentally different than my own, even if they claim similar morals or stances. I believe that not using your rights is functionally the same as not having those rights, and people should automatically always enforce their rights by default. And I can even respect people denying themselves something like their right to remain silent to prove by challenge the existence of other rights, eg right to free speech or protest.
And to be fair, this other person DID offer a solution about impeaching state congressmen, which tbh I hadn't pursued yet but will be discussing with a quickness since we are definitely at that stage. It will take research though because every state is different and has different reps ofc.
I'm not going to list everything I am helping to organize because this is open for rightwingers to see and Nazis used to lurk my account and have sent me death threats, edpecially worse since the election (which is why I changed from being a Dominatrix advertising account which had my nudes on it, to a political account trying to give people news and information). This account alone has HOURS of labor by me, and I have 2 other accounts on other platforms that I extensively use as well to try to combat the massive online psyops.
And that's the thing - we all have different talents. Just like in TF2 or WoW or a million other games, we need a Tank, Healer, DPS, right? Don't yell at the healer for not doing DPS, don't yell at the DPS for not healing, etc, and instead celebrate and help people improve on their strengths to network and build community. A petition is a small act, I understand, but it counts and there are people who maybe have never done ANY political act, who will start with the small ones. Everything good is good. Progress is progress.

Thanks!
Is that kind of utterances why he got reelected?
-
Wonder if some hardliners from CIA or such will decide to sort out this threat to their power, or will they just accept going down.
They kind of have to do something, if they don't they'll probably end up being "doged" for lack of accomplishments.
-
Well, yeah, but that happened back in the '60s with Vietnam. What we're seeing here isn't America becoming the villain, it's America becoming the kind of incompetent villain that even their minions turn on.
-
We should really form Europe 2, with every member except Hungary.
-
I noticed that with Zelensky he's been talking about 'raw earth' instead of rare earth. And not just a slip of the tongue, he did it consistently throughout the meeting. While with the meeting with UK prime minister Starmer, a few days earlier, he said it properly. So he knew the word, but forgot?
-
nope, people vote anti-woke candidates because the algorithm feeds them woke-gone-mad bullshit. I really wonder how people would think if much of our interactions and media consumption wasn't based on algorithm blindly steering towards engagement.
-
Today is hungary, but it could easily have been France, Austria or Germany. We need to learn a new way to counteract to forign states Mischung in the EU. If we dont, we are condemned.
-
Yes, but good luck implementing that in Europe 1. That's one of the reasons we need Europe 2.
