Of course. The two are partners. They are not really at odds, fundamentally. Settlers and imperialists alike tied together with mutual interests.

Hell yeah
There is bleed-over of this into liberal/baby left spaces as well, starting with the “Israel dictates to America, actually” theory. This is just one step removed from an antisemitic conspiracy theory. At its base is just confused liberalism, but by getting the nature of the relationship reversed they remove blame and action from the dominant partner, the country in which most of these people live and could take action, and replace it with a far away enemy that is controlling “us”, with the main “action” being to spread this idea and nothing more.
I mean behind closed doors they are often like this, and have been since the beginning. The first guy was a Nazi. NATO / adjascent generals like McArthur were crude and genocidal.
They just don’t have the respectability veneer cultivated by liberals. Crude behind the scenes, diplomatic and higj-minded in print or in front of cameras. Their subculture doesn’t care about that.
I don’t think this is actually a worse thing in any way. Imperialists being worse at PR means we can discuss what is happening more easily and openly rathee than also having to teach liberals basic media criticism. Like how no, Biden was not actually fighting for a ceasefire, he is genocidal and should be tried and foind guilty for his crimes.
They were going to but the CIA agent responsible for installing the bomb on thr aircraft carrier bumped into the deep cover state department asset trying to smuggle drones onboard and they both fell overboard and drowned.
Something vaguely as dumb as this is actually possible. Maybe Trump didn’t like their proposals and said to wait a week and he basically forgot about the whole thing. Maybe the ghouls that would try to do it anyways are in disarray because they’re Heritage Foundation dummies. Maybe one of them planned on buying the decommissioned carrier and making it a private museum.
And with that, he lost the vote
Of course! And you’re right that Trump is indeed a messy “give me all the credit” guy of course, so he will also try to take credit for things that are essentially happening “on their own”. But not just theoretically, but historically, presidents have been able to just tell Israel to stop entire wars and they will do it - all behind the scenes.
The “male instinct” thing is weird and insensitive. Deal-breaker territory imo. Someone who is ignorant but caring would wait a while and ask with tact about something they are concerned about, likely after trying to educate themselves first and stressing that they might be totally off-base and just need some help to understand or be reassured. This person seems to be fairly cavalier with this comment/question to the effect that it is actually transphobic.
How many degrees of separation are there between the governor and alcohol production or transportation?
I’m gonna wager 1.
This post is officially orky.
I think +43 pts is net so it is actually 71.5% of Dems who are now raging antisemites (theoretically disapproving of bombing kids for over a year).
If any president wants Israel to stop bombing kids they just need to threaten to cut them off and suddenly things will happen. All behind the scenes, even. Saying, “we are trying” actually means the opposite: they are not trying but want some excuses and fanfare and a delay before anything might change.
Never use chatbots.
“presses for”
Yeah, sure he does
Yes you can definitely see this in the (lack of) forceful response to Trump damaging industrial capital via tariffs and violence on immigrants. That group is hoping to be paid off or are at monopoly phase and are hoping to buy off failing companies. But they clearly have minimal influence compared to finance capital, which is making a bundle.
I don’t think the elites are realizing anything, they are just stumbling into contradictions. Capitalism needs to constantly prop itself back up after its contradictions threaten to blow up the project. It’ll need to do this again in dramatic ways soon.
An extreme aversion to introspection or receiving criticism tends to create these scenarios and tends to go hand-in-hand with self-soothing egotistical behaviors. It frequently comes from a place of pain but at some point a person needs to have responsibility for the harms they cause or to be ostracized to prevent further harm.
I think making jokes about an important rule being abused for petty drama bait is good and funny.
They are just having a tantrum and in true Western “leftist” fashion they prefer to claim to be the aggrieved party and using this to lash out.
IRL you’ve gotta get ahead of this kind of thing because it is rampant and toxic and often just a cover for bullying or abusive behavior.
Riding bikes is most proletarian. Poor people transportation to work and requires industrialization, made of metal tubes and chains.
Most reactionary is modern golf. It is absurdly expensive on an ongoing basis and is all about weird Victorian ideas of landscaping and maintaining separation from the lower classes via literal gatekeepers.
