It's almost like if you let a person be exempt from the law, they will corrupt the law and people together. And it doesn't matter which culture, language, heritage - it just takes one person to be above the law for the law to fail.

Justice is the foundation of peace? Which hippie socialist said that?

looks at notes

Oh. Jesus. Hm...

Since when do Christian fascists listen to the word of Jesus?

Arguably? Putin is the problem.

Trump is nothing without people with actual power. He doesn't have the brain capacity to actually do anything.

Netenyahu is a small weak man of a small weak nation with too much concentrated wealth and too much fingers in the western world.

If you take Putin out, the rest of the world stands a chance at ridding itself of the evil that Zionism has infected it with, regardless if Netenyahu is around or not.

[–] livejamie@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Israel and the US might as well be the same nation at this point.

They're the two strongest countries by far when it comes to cybersecurity and cyberterrorism.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Correct. And if you remove the military, intelligence, and funding support given to Israel from the US, and leave Israel to fend for itself, it will face swift regime change too.

But that can only happen if the Kremlin's interference with democratic systems ends, and then the remainder of the world has the chance to remove authoritarians from their seats of power and influence.

Trump is nothing without people with actual power, but the movement he led to power is not. If the conditions are right for its emergence fascism, like life, finds a way. Thinking Trump is the root cause of anything strikes me as very unwarranted optimism.

If you take Putin out, the rest of the world stands a chance at ridding itself of the evil that Zionism has infected it with, regardless if Netenyahu is around or not.

How so? There's very little interdependence between Israel and Russia (not that they're not chummy with each other, but that this chumminess isn't decisive a la the US or Europe).

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Might have misunderstood me? He's not the root cause of anything. It's why the "3 people" in the poster aren't on equal levels. He's an opportunistic con man that somehow believes cleverness is equivalent to intelligence.

Israel is wholly dependent on its existence by the US. The US has supported Israel because of the exact same influence that Russia manipulated, except Israel has been doing it with far more money for much longer than Putin himself.

If you kick the peg that is Putin, there will be a cascading collapse of authoritarians. The only ruler that gets to avoid that from what I can tell is Xi Jinping.

If by 'small weak Israel' you mean the most advanced military supported by the world's most powerful country's naval, aerial and intel militaries you should recalibrate your 'weaknessmeter'.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Withdraw US support, and Israel is nothing.

To withdraw US support we need to end the current regime, and move forward to replacing the DNC with actual caring people.

All of this will be substatially easier if Putin is out of power.

[–] bigFab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Gotta agree with the first two points you made, although you didn't comment on the funding part. As much as a russian puppet Trump may look like, it's american corporation and Israeli lobby who fund and drive the US foreign policy💰🇺🇲

Russians will be russians. You take Putin out and a worse one will follow to appease their elite. It's just the West is barely waking up from the unipolar world dream.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, I probably responded to that one someone else's comment and forgot to bring it along with me.

My mother has tried to convince me of that. The "and then it got worse" is part of the core of their culture. I don't want to believe that's true, mostly because things DID get better after Stalin died.

I get that 500 years of state-subsidized alcoholism can greatly impact a nation, but surely they are capable of trying for something better.

[–] bigFab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It was undoubtly good for russian civilians to get rid of Stalin's imperialist ambitions and the huge human cost. Also great news for Nato, as it marked the beginning of the unipolar world chapter in history.

Our mistake was to believe the unipolar dream would last forever. Thanks to the hundreds of worldwide US interventions and the unconditional european support with creepling sanctions now we have powerful enemies and today is more dangerous than even during the Cold War. I think is time stop pointing russians with our bloody fingers on every problem this world has. Also because China benefits from all of this situation.

US and EU support.

Everything israel done was funded by the usa. The ehole west could have stopped israel since 48

Add Erdoğan to the soup. He may be a more local menace but is a menace nevertheless.

Jeff, Mark, Bill, and Elon where?

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Classic. Look into the other 2700-ish and you'll realize that bill isn't even in top 100. But he's richer and american, so ofc he's a lot more hated. And just to be sure you don't misunderstand me, know they're all cunts. Every single one of them. But some have some redeeming qualities. Not enough to not be cunts, but still. But most don't. Those are the ones that you should focus on. Like Rupert Murdoch, for example.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Fair. I used to not hate him and even think him as "one of the few good ones" until learning his involvement with Epstein.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Trump was not in power when the usa started to be the bully of world bombing ton of countries, doing ton of coups etc and the whole west was fine with it.

This is not to white wash him but to remind ourself that the problem is bigger than one bad person

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Þey had a chance to put Trump in prison while he wasn't president. Þey had several chances.

Being president isn't protecting Trump. Class division and sex does.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Politics is about power and who should wield it.

People hate talking about politics, and that’s fine when the people being talked about are not criminals. When they are criminals, talking, and action, needs to happen.

[–] Tower@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

As much as it sucks and as tiring as it often is, we need to normalize talking about politics in everyday life because politics is a part of everyday life.

"The personal is political" - The money you make (taxes) and the things you spend it on (tariffs). Your education (school boards) and the roads you drive on (city council). The house you live in (building codes). The stuff you eat and drink (EPA, FDA). The media you watch (FTC). Your ability to travel unimpeded (ICE). Our social norms around race, gender, and class.

It all has roots in politics.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Trump/Putin are the same person.

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I hope they starve to death

The chancellor of Germany literally looks like Mr Burns.
