JD Vance stuns Munich conference with blistering attack on Europe’s leaders
-
putin's bitch. so what?
-
We're about to see how the next elections turn out. Maybe all is not lost yet.
-
“In Germany, a firewall has long existed preventing mainstream parties from engaging with the far-right Alternative für Deutschland owing to its Nazi origins. But Vance said there was no room for such barriers.”
Is this the ‘populism’ you’re so concerned about?
While Vance is whining about censorship, his boss is throwing legitimate press organizations out of the White House briefing room.
-
"Blistering" suggests it had merit.
-
I didn't mention the censorship because he is wrong about that
I also don't agree with his quote about "no need for barriers". I wasn't aware he had said that.
He is referring to the poor handling of migration in Europe, which is true. And the general ignoring of popular outrage at how migration is managed.
That he is a fascist dickhead is indicative of the problem. Many many people who are not racist think migration is handled terribly in Europe and the problem is moderate politicians are hopelessly slow to engage with this and as a result the only people talking about it are fascist nutbags...

“The mice in fact are tyrannical oppressors for not opening the door to listen to what the fox has to say!” - JD Vance
Nope, mister G.O.Pudge, we do not have to include Nazis.
-
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
