Purchasing politicians is good for the economy under the multiplier effect, or something something
You could probably make an Orwellian argument to make out mass murders with guns are good for the economy too
And Iâve no doubt Fox will
This is a question of causality Sidney
When Americanâs had a President(s) that didnât incite hatred, there was mass shootings and these were blamed on video games and violence in movies.
When America has a President who incites hatred, there are mass shootings and he gets blamed
Seems whatever the cause, Americans just shoot each other.
You finally got it
Truest thing youâve ever written here
quotes. I very much doubt the POTUS could say that and still be POTUS.
You are very naive
People thought exactly the same thing in 1930s Germany
When Hitlerâs rhetoric obviously had nothing to do with the increase in hate crimes, or something something
Godwinâs law came into effect extremely early hereâŚ
Signing out. As you were
People will come up with any justification to avoid the horrific reality
The actual creator of Godwinâs Law himself compares Trump and the Republicans to the Nazis, mate
Bullscutter as usual. Godwin alert. The nazis didnât protect 1st or 2nd amendment rights like they have in the USA. In fact the second amendment exists in case a government impinges on the freedoms bestowed by the first.

Read above, pal, Godwin himself compares Trump to the Nazis
Youâre literally referring to somebody who says youâre talking bullshit
And right wing crazies in the US love nothing more than to bring bogus Nazi comparisons into public âdebateâ, hence âfeminazisâ etc. which Iâm sure youâll agree is an actual example of Godwinâs Law, as are the Brexit conspiracy theories you subscribe to about the EU being Nazis etc.
Transparent lunacy but thatâs what you actually believe
Trump has put paid to that theory numerous times.
What has been happening for the last two and a half years is what a lot of people were joking outright about in 2015 and 2016, the joke obviously being that all this stuff was way too far fetched to have a snowballâs chance of ever happening
Now people who previously joked in 2015 and 2016 are actively defending all this lunacy - just as how it happened in the 1930s
Itâs been a classic example of the frog being slowly boiled alive parable
Yale history prrofessor Timothy Snyderâs work on the history of authoritarianism is illuminating as to how it pertains to the present day
Around the start of this year I wrote a post detailing how the Irish far right was trying to make inroads
They are everywhere on social media and Ireland is suffering its own giant fascist gaslighting attack
Itâs really serious stuff
I admit I thought it would be funny. Itâs not. I feel sorry for sane Americans watching all this unfold. I shall say no more. I have only have a vicarious interest in US culture.
Lots of people find it funny because they cannot comprehend or do not want to comprehend how it feels to be on the receiving end of all this racial and ethnic vilification through no fault of their own whatsoever
Again, thatâs the exact same thing as happened in the 1930s
Any Irish person who supports Trump is ignorant of their own history because our history is one of being oppressed too
It genuinely disgusts me that any Irish person would ever take the side of a powerful oppressor
Do you equate not having open borders/enforcing immigration policies to oppressing?
Seems to be the case.
you claim the Irish famine wasnât a genocide.
I equate a years long campaign of racial and ethnic vilification, and incitement of violence and cruelty, to oppression
Because thatâs exactly what it is
You keep thinking calling immigrants snakes is grand by all means - but it would actually make you one yourself
Forelock tuggers like you and that white supremacist chef who posts here insult Irish history
It wasnât
Historical fact is important to me
Itâs obviously not important to you
