This reminds me so much of Narendra Modi. How is his and Trump's relationship? I remember he did have a trip to India where he mispronounced Tendulkar's name. But I dunno if he has said/done anything in particular in praise of the BJP's anti-muslim fascism.

Stunt-Puffin posted:They are now calling for the overthrow of democracy at CPAC as a trial balloon. The audience is politely applauding so it's fair to assume this will be normalized in a few months just like 'nationalist' was. Thank you, I am now armed and have purchased a large gun safe which will hold many guns.

My mom used to tell me all the time that I need to cut my long hair until I used that argument on her. "If jesus can have long hair why can't i" never heard her say anything about my hair since. public school district the superintendant sounds like a peach and not at all racist with a hint of fascism quote:In January, Poole placed a full page ad in the Houston Chronicle, arguing that “being an American requires conformity with the positive benefit of unity,” CNN previously reported. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/22/us/darryl-george-crown-act-trial-texas-reaj/index.html unless he cut his hair since the suspension i can't even understand the complaint, it looks fairly short and tight. unless they're somehow counting how long it would be if unbraided or something?

BrigadierSensible posted:This reminds me so much of Narendra Modi. Truth be told, there wasn't much of one between them. There was just one meeting and a couple partnerships were signed, but Modi and Trump held basically the same views when it came to Islamic extremism and terrorism, which is about the only commonality you'd find between them. Modi had a warmer relationship with Obama by comparison.

I mean throughout history? can not remember the details during the crusades, when the crusaders had Muslims allies against some enemy, they turned on the Muslim allies for some reason. Xenophon heel turns. The wars of religion. English civil war. Russian civil wars. Boomers will be the most studied generation in the history of modern humanity.

Waltzing Along posted:Is there any country that is comparable to the US in terms of just completely going insane? I mean throughout history? I would google Khmer Rouge. It could always be worse. They set the bar as low as it could go so far. They were basically tankie posters who got power. Their idea was they'd be completely self sufficient so everybody was supposed to be a farmer and also contribute things like iron. It turns out not everyone is cut out to be a farmer and making pig iron in your back yard is actually very low quality. Then Pol Pot being the genius he is, after murdering, genociding, and starving his people, fearing a Vietnam invasion, invaded Vietnam. Which promptly invaded and easily overthrew them in a year with support of Cambodians. Nelson Mandingo fucked around with this message at 10:42 on Feb 23, 2024 |

I mean yes, there were movements that were more insane than the GOP, but I think what's pretty unique about the US is that the mass insanity is embraced by 50% of the population and normalized by the other 50% as something they need to respect and as part of civil discourse. Even in Germany during the rise of Nazism people at least were polarized and knew it was abnormal, dangerous and something to fight against, they just lost due to stupid power deals made by top level opportunists.

Yeah I agree that the majority of the country is way, way too apathetic. Just pushing back on the "50% of the US embrace MAGA" because it's a common narrative and one which only serves to bolster their bullshit

Maybe lots of people don't actively approve, but they are apathetic and indifferent to an extent that should not exist in a nominally free society. I live in New england and in the last 20 years my overwhelmingly dem state has legalized gay marriage, decriminalized and then legalized borh medical and recreational weed, and just recently enacted protections for out of state abortion seekers to not be prosecuted back in their chud states. Maine recently instituted ranked choice voting. The gop has lost its mind and its sad that it has as much support as it does but I think perspective is important. A lot of what we're seeing is just classic reactionary poo poo, regressives trying to put the genie back in the bottle. And it always fails eventually, and will fail more as the older generations go away.

Nelson Mandingo posted:Maps don't really do justice to the size of the US. To get from northern Alabama to Middle Florida is a 10 hour drive. 560 miles. Basically almost the distance from Berlin to Paris. ... it's not far from Paris to Berlin though? It takes about 3 hours longer to go from the middle of Norway to southern Norway - 6 hours longer if you go from where it's as far to the northern as it is to the southern point. That's a longer journey than driving through California Don't get me wrong, I do get your point and agree with you - I just think it's a bad comparison to Europe in terms of travel time

That's a longer journey than driving through California The contiguous US and Europe are pretty comparable size wise (Europe used to be bigger than the contiguous US but I guess all of Russia is definitively Not Europe now due to ideological distinction). The cultural differences in distance perception seem to be more about American lack of public transport infrastructure, and the corollary of American willingness to commute insane distances by car
