It's great that it's a singular choice made in a vacuum and there aren't any other long-term consequences to think about. In the future, we will get more chances to support the lesser evil (forever) but these have no connection to our previously supporting the lesser evil unconditionally.

I think you're really misevaluating the (non)equivalence between how you're crippled as an organism by opium addiction vs just having your attention fucked up by tiktok
Social media addiction is not quite the same thing as opium addiction
"Populism" isn't a political philosophy, it's a rhetorical tact, and one that most Republicans and some Democrats take. It's not to be confused for an idea like "popular rule".
I know Hillary is the main attraction because she's the historically important one, but let's not forget that LMM's entire platform comes from whitewashing slavers. They're a good match is what I'm saying.
Bad post. You reminded me of the original meme and the "left'-anticommunists who like it.
The last time I said this a mod removed it FOR SOME REASON
There's a modlog that should have included the reason for the removal. I agree it's a dumb name regardless.
Doesn't Argentina have a strong-ish Trot presence? It seems like they have a golden opportunity to show the populace the poverty of liberalism
I think the comment shouldn't have been removed, but principally because it is trivial to refute. The US is well aware of the fact that people calling for revolution have no teeth, while the people who actually did substantial law-breaking on Jan 6 (which itself had no teeth, but I digress) were indeed arrested.
Meanwhile, Wikipedia's list of Chinese"dissidents" includes blatant fraudsters like Miles Guo, who fled China to evade capture for financial crimes before being imprisoned in the US for continuing to commit financial crimes, to say nothing of the "dissidents" involved in actual insurrectionary activity that killed PLA soldiers.
I think a bunch of those people would have left either way, they just weren't that socially functional.
