But the problem is not unique to the US I think. I personally know many formerly reasonable center left/right liberals who became radicalized and open to authoritarianism, racism and transphobic ideas. They span multiple countries, religions and ethnic origins. Trump-like figures are everywhere.
That's not a ProPublica article...
And if you went over the thread and are still convinced these guys are honest, let's leave it there. I see not point in talking to you.
You should check this thread.
It summarizes the problem well.

So.. the mall they just acquired was stuck by an Iranian missile and they decided that it's a miracle and feel vindicated by God.... Amazing

Being someone who fought hard to overcome learning disabilities is one of the nicest thing about Newsum. The other one is how he apparently drives Trump crazy. So, altogether, amazing ad for Newsum.
In Israel, a similar "thinking" has taken hold as a result of the right being in power for decades and being unable to prevent terror attacks or wars. So they try to blame an imaginary left, with the argument that if only the left wing courts would let the IDF "do its job" all would be perfect.
Marianne (a symbol of Freedom) wearing the Phrygian cap is still one of the most popular symbol of the French republic today.
What a wonderful attitude to win the battle against fascists... With this attitude, no Jew/Chinese should ever accept that Germany/Japan could change or have any valuable history or culture. And Germany/Japan should never have tried to redefine themselves away from their worst moments.
You guys should start using the American flag as a symbol of the protests against Trump and his ghouls. You should reappropriate the flag for yourself. You are the real great America and the flag should belong to you.
I think that for the settler movement and a large part of the Israeli right the main argument today is: "It's obviously ours, God gave it to us. It's Jewish land and Arabs should leave". Safety and self determination arguments are for the center-left and Americans.
You're funny complaining about me giving an opinion on the toxicity of politics along ethnic/religious/black-white lines without having experienced being a Black American. All the while explaining me who I am, what I feels and who are my friends...
A video pleading for alliance of common interests being aggressively dismissed with a white vs back comment shocked me as a caricature of everything that is wrong on social media and in the world today
I should have remembered my socialmed rules: never read replies, never write, just like or block.
1. I'm not American
2. Divisions in the places I live/lived in are along different ethnic/religious/.. lines.
3. I believe framing everything along these lines is destroying democracies I know well
4. It's crazy to see it now happen in the US and this post seems like such a caricature of it..
The woman in the video: we should unite and fight those who need us divided to take advantage of us.
Answer: No! White people are bad, black people are good.
Amazing....
The hostage families and allies went all in for months with the strategy of begging and praising Trump as the only one capable of ending the war and saving the hostages. They are not naïve about Trump, but they know nobody else could pressure Netanyahu enough. Might even have helped getting here...
It works on his base.. who see him as a white knight protecting them on the world stage and who admire his English speaking abilities. He is probably speaking to them and nobody else..
"Cause when push comes to shove
I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love, da-da-da dat-da...."
First: I am the good, the moral, the just. The Israelis, all 10 millions of them, are the bad, the evil and the wicked and I HATE them all... 🤔
Stop hating millions of people, it rottens the brain and it will never help bring peace and justice to anyone.
Is that a parody???????
Who wrote that?
You should check your sources. One missile did fall close to the Kiryah, which has nothing to do with nuclear research, and wasn't destroyed. 7 soldiers were lightly wounded (could be related to this strike). Halevy is the recently retired Chief of Staff and is very much alive.
In the 1st edition of book "the Pianist" (who inspired the movie) the German officer who saves Spielman was made Polish because "the public was not ready" I always found it so puzzling. Than came the Ukraine invasion... The urge to classify people into neat binary good/evil groups is a human malady.
My 9 years old is asking: are there sharks safe to approach when you see them in the sea?
