Half /s, does that count? Lol. Obviously the CIA in central America and the Middle East was bad, but the CIA helping Ukraine with Intel and aid is a very good thing.

Yeah, imma hard disagree. The Republicans aren't Liberals. The Republicans have embraced fascism and are actively trying to overthrow American Democracy. They just overturned roe v wade, they keep making workplaces less safe, our environment worse, consumer protections worse, they fight to repress trans rights, gay rights, etc. etc. Both sides are VERIFIABLY not the same, and I don't understand how you can feel they both are. Just because both sides are capitalist, doesn't make both sides liberal.

I thought it was basically an open secret the US was helping with intelligence and planning.

How based the USA is. Helping where we can to keep free democracies like Ukraine safe from authoritarians like Putin.

Wait. Is what you're saying "I'm a real progressive because I'd vote for Trump"?

Yeah, the situation is beyond fucked.

What do you mean? Genocide? Jewish people have always been in the Middle East. Forcing them to leave is just as evil as Israel forcing Palestinians off their land.

Just curious, let's say that there really are Hamas operatives in this hospital, and there really are the bodies of hostages in this hospital, how would you want Israel to handle it?

[–] popcap200@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that makes sense.

That is very true! I'm very salty Trump was able to just do that, but I couldn't get my student loans deleted. :l

I mean, sure, we can say it's corporate greed, but also we've put over a trillion dollars extra into the economy in a short span due to COVID and Build Back Better, while at the same time there were supply shortages for years, plus record low unemployment causing a raising of wages, all without the fed reacting quick enough by increasing interest rates sooner. We've got every textbook condition for an increase in inflation rates.
