Trudeau decided to go ahead with retaliatory tariffs even though Trump’s order includes a mechanism to escalate the rates if Canada retaliates against the U.S.
It’s not whataboutism. He’s pointing out the empire has been going far longer than anything having to do with Trump. I’m apparently not allowed to discuss anything else about that here though, because the mods know the absolute truth about all things and will decide what ideas are allowed to be spoken.
How is this whataboutism? They only pointed out that the US has a long history of doing shitty things without being controlled by some foreign actor. It’s perfectly plausible that Trump is doing shitty things because he thinks he will personally gain something out of it, without anyone pulling his strings. He just doesn’t care if the rest of the country goes up in flames.
That’s the meaning of the phrase “the banality of evil”. It was a commentary on how in Nazi Germany, behaviors that were individually almost innocuous or careless manifested at the society level as a genocide. Because it really just takes millions of dumbasses to follow a monumentally evil path.
No he is dead on. The US has been shooting itself in the foot for decades in order to murder little brown kids.
The only way your argument makes any sense is if Russia ordered Biden to commit genocide and throw the election. The DNC decided to run a geriatric against Trump. They are no smarter or better than the Republicans.
So you believe the Democrats corruption and incompetence is natural and AIPAC has nothing to do with it. But the Republicans corruption is POOTIN!
Meanwhile the first person Trump invites is Netanyahu.
If someone said the same things about Israel controlling the US as you are saying about Russia, ignoring that the links to Russia are far far smaller, you would call them an anti Semite.
They didn’t decide shit. Only politicians decide whether they wish to run or not. The DNC literally does not have the power to chose who runs and who doesn’t. You know the DNC is not a person right? The DNC is literally made up of the primary delegates elected by the voters, who then choose a new executive committee every 4 years. Did you put yourself forward as a potential delegate? Stop blaming the DNC for the choices made by the voters.
I didn’t want to believe it, but .world and Reddit powermod user overlap must be real high. They all are like a hivemind of “making fun of tankie” aka the liberal version of “woke”
That too somewhat, but I ment more .world users, it’s the only place and the only type of users who actively fight on the wrong side and bring up Reddit arguments and the worst of reddit behaviour into Lemmy
mUH wHataBoUTiSm. I’m shocked this user is from .ml
Shocked, I tell you.

^ Now we’re sinking down from “reddit level” to “Facebook level”. Just “laugh reacts”.
Sometimes an emoji says it all. 😘
Yeah, and sometimes you’re just a bad person.
yeah, that’s the problem. Anyone taking the piss on Lemmy must be an absolute monster. Lol.

My dude (or dudette,) you may want to take a breather for your sanity. You are obviously way too worked up.

More wHataBoUTiSm from another .ml account.
Again, just shocked. Tu quoque fallacy at its finest.

The mods are sure acting like reddit mods. They’re already the self-appointed arbiters of truth.

Seeing the same. Not that many different users either, just really vocal.
I’ve noticed that too, keep seeing the same people pop up all the time, even in different instances of the same community
