Controversial General Political Discussion

[Midnight Delight]

Both nations also suffered a genocide/ethnic cleansing at the hands of their neighbors

Which is something no media reported on the past few days

The Isaac tribe nearly got genocided by the former dictator of Somalia and every outlet is talking about how Somaliland Somalis are "just Somalis" ignoring history

Somaliland has more of a reason to separate than Eritea or South Sudan, especially given that they have proven themselves to be able to govern themselves without becoming the "North Korea of Africa" or Devolving into a "everyone genociding everyone" fest like South Sudan

stateless nation

This expression makes no sense

This expression makes no sense

a nation is just a large group of people who share language, culture, ethnicity etc.

A state is just a political body that lays laws and borders for a territory. There can be multiple nations in one state, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina

These terms are not synonyms

I'm aware
If they're recognized they're not stateless

 

[Roo]

they had to be stateless in order to be recognized

don't be a pedantic dumbass

International recognition is just people having opinions. It's irrelevant. Did Chingiz ask the nations he ravaged for their recognition of his empire?
Did the Aztecs ask to be recognized by the defeated chieftains as they sacrificed and decordized their warriors?
Think again, Roo! Use your brain for once!

Ignoring the incuriosity and lack of talent required to lean on AI art, I would love for any conservative in this thread to explain how antagonizing long-term trading partners around the world and letting corporations pass on the extra costs incurred by tariffs to the consumers is anything but the most direct way to wreck this country’s economy…I know some of you righties think you’re Maynard fucking Keynes when it comes to Donnie’s idea of fiscal policy, so here’s your chance to prove it

Ayoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the sex traffickers were spying on the journalists investigating Epstein during Treason's first term. Isn't that interesting?

The craziest thing about this stalking of journalists, is it 1000% proves the FBI/CIA could stop most school shootings if they actually wanted to. Like, forget "can spy", THEY ARE spying on everybody and everybody's fucking imaginary friends, too.

Who's worse, the cops that stand outside the schools during school shootings, or the armed security protecting known child sex traffickers, while pretending they're defending the country?

This right here is a good point.
With all the knowledge intelligence agencies (not only in USA), governments, corporations have access to through spying on everyone they absolutely COULD stop terrorist attacks, school shootings and mental people going on a stabbing spree in crowded places but heck, seeing how the self proclaimed authorities don't even have it in them to warn citizens ahead of devastating natural catastrophes should wake up the last gullible, denialist eternal infant out there.
It would be false to assume they (surveillance cunts) don't care.

They DO care and they enjoy it. Next to every conflict these days is engineered, created out of thin air or allowed to happen to increase strife and polarization among the people. These cunts thrive on conflict, God forbid people are healthy, happy and prosperous, that is these cunts' worst nightmare.


Fanning the flames, watching how we destroy each other until there is nothing left of humankind but traumatised refugees, prison inmates and braindead consumers who have lost all understanding for life, nature and themselves.

Remember when people were getting fired from their jobs for saying the mildest things about Charlie and then his wife tussled Vance’s hair at his memorial before doing her level best to profit off her late husband’s lingering rhetoric?? Yeah, me fucking neither…anyway, like the old saying goes -
A: Never
B: Stop
C: Grifting

 

[Midnight Delight]

The real question is wtf does she see in Vance

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

The real question is wtf does she see in Vance

Skill based match making
You seen her looks?
You seen the man she was previously married to?
Makes sense the best she could get is Vance lol. Ugly body and personality it would seem

I still don't understand why people are going after a guy's widow. Absolute political brainrot. Losing basic humanity.

Because she’s been shamelessly promoting his products and using whatever she thinks his “legacy” is to make assloads of money?? Have you seen any footage of her since he died where she’s not smiling and hawking Turning Point merchandise?? Impossible to not make it political when it’s genuinely the only thing she’s done for three months, I’m not gonna remotely entertain the notion that it’s anyone else’s fault

So a widow is continuing to do what her husband was already doing... Crazy.

Again, I don't agree with their political views (mostly), but too many lines of decency were crossed on this one.

In rural villages in 90% of the world, a widow acting like Erika Kirk would definitely have everyone calling her stuff about it

Why am I supposed to feel bad about a woman tarnishing her husband’s memory - a husband who, by the way, spent years wielding his political beliefs for profit - and treat any of this with respect when she clearly isn’t inclined to do the same? I’m not attacking her because she’s making money, but she’s not even playing the grieving widow angle the right way, so there’s not much utility in pretending that she is and handling her with kid gloves, she’s a grown woman who knows exactly what she’s doing and it’s pretty ghoulish.

Sorry to go back, but I take contention with this too…Charlie’s body wasn’t even cold in the ground before she picked up the mantle, I don’t know many people who lose their spouse (especially in such a violent, traumatizing way) and then go back to work less than a week later with a big grin and wide eyes, it’s just fucking weird. Doesn’t matter one bit if she’s just continuing the mission, she didn’t take any time to process what happened before willingly stepping in front of a dozen cameras; are you really telling me that doesn’t sound a little bit disrespectful to you??

Dude, imagine a family member of yours get shot in the fucking neck, and next the entire world is analyzing your every move, why you don't move your face in a certain way, how much time you should wail, etc. What happened to just leaving people the fuck alone to mourn?

If you want to criticize her political stances, do it, but getting into her personal life like that is just a sign of the times how morally bereft politics is nowadays where basic human decency doesn't exist anymore, it's just memes and passive aggressive shitposting.
