I don’t know why he put that as a literal quote. As far as I remember it was simply about the nazi symbols like the swastikas, which are illegal in Germany for good reason.

The (Rep.) speaker Mike Johnson went against the MAGAs and worked together with the Democrats to get it passed.
But I doubt they would have gotten enough votes if they didn’t bundle it with the aid for Israel and the TikTok ban.

It’s because the Republicans wouldn’t let a bill, that only supports Ukraine, pass. So this was a compromise.

Yes, don’t trust any of those you mentioned, but I disagree with Meta doing the US’ bidding.
Putin has absolutely no problem pushing his disinformation campaign through fb for example.

Zuckerberg and Musk only care about money, while TikTok is directly controlled by the Chinese government.

That being said, I wouldn’t mind Meta products and xitter being banned at all.

Someone who supports Palestine and is against the US is not automatically a Tankie. But if this person at the same time makes excuses for the Russian invasion or argues that Taiwan belongs to China, then they are.

Hypocrisy (lying / arguing in bad faith) is exactly what makes the difference between a leftist and a Tankie.

Please don’t call them “the far left”. They’re just pretending, in reality they’re authoritarians defending Russia, China and Iran, while shitting on the West at every opportunity.

It’s getting worse lately with the tankies here. Seems like hexbear and lemmygrad are spilling over, not a surprise shortly before the election but I’m worried people will leave because of it.

No, but the point is your hypocrisy. I never said that lifting the sanctions is right.
But “Jesus fuck” would it never cross my mind to call the person who is ordering those atrocities in Gaza a scapegoat.

Edit: Looks like Biden didn’t lift anything.

I seem to remember sth like that was said at the beginning of the war.

Now France is talking about putting boots on the ground, multiple attacks on Crimean infrastructure already happened and Europe is getting more worried about the getting attacked as well if Putin gets his way.

I doubt anyone cares about it anymore and Putin can punch sand.

Ah, but shitting on Biden and the US at every opportunity is completely reasonable while talking bad about the guy who is actually pulling the trigger is fucking scapegoating!?

What line are you talking about? The Russian army is in ukrainian territory and needs to be kicked out, no one is talking about invading Russia.

“Hysteria”, that’s one way to belittle people.

Polestar is a subsidiary of Volvo Cars. Volvo Cars was bought by Geely in 2010, a private Holding Group owned by Li Shufu, a chinese billionaire.

Li Shufu is also the chairman of Volvo Cars.

Polestar was founded and headquartered in Sweden, so it is a swedish company but it is owned by Geely/Li Shufu.

The funding needs to stop and another main objective should be to get Netanyahu out of office and in a jail cell, otherwise he will just continue, even if sanctioned.

Fitting Russian propaganda about Europe freezing in winter

I think Voyager is based on the famous iOS reddit app (Apollo?) and is regularly updated. Looks really polished and I’m also using it on android next to sync.

I know this is a joke, but the Nazis used eugenics as an reason for their atrocities. I don’t think blowing in the same horn is doing any good here.

I’m not putting words in your mouth, that’s what you said in your comment:

Only 40% voted for the DPP. 60% voted against the DPP. It’s just the 2 more pro-China parties got their vote split.

No evidence the TPP wants to fight to keep their freedom? From the article you linked:

China_ must know that it will have to pay a high price if it invades, said Ko.

And I already posted this from your article but here again:

The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

China is the one threatening with an invasion, but it’s the fault of the westerners?

Also: why so aggressive? Isn’t that a bit too western for you?

Engaging with China is a really broad thing to say, from the article that you posted about the TPP:

“Taiwan’s relationship with China is based on two principles: Deterrence and communication,” said Ko Wen-je from the TPP People’s Party in Taipei on Friday.

…

The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

You said the TPP is pro-china, like the KMT, but to me it doesn’t read like that at all. China wants reunification, the TPP is highly against that and is willing to fight for their freedom.
