'Trump posts Nazi rhetoric and you're silent': Stefanik shamed over antisemitism hearing
  • It's because leftists understand that no amount of epic slams or rhetoric curbs fascism. In fact, the epic blasts and slams that democrats have been pedaling for the past 8 years have done nothing other than platform trump. This is liberalism: the idea that with a witty enough retort, with a perfectly crafted argument, you can "facts and logic" someone out of thinking that palestinians deserve to be genocided.

    The only way to mitigate fascism is with curb stomps, bullets, and changing material conditions.

    “Only one thing could have stopped our movement – if our adversaries had understood its principle and from the first day smashed with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement“.

    • Adolf Hitler
  • Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be privileged and safe
  • "Akshually sweaty, banning the leading fascist networking tool during a period of unprecedented fascism would make the president a dictator"

    Good lord. Imagine being this lib. Even if Biden wins and we stave off fascism for 2024, it won't be long until we fully backslide if this the height of liberal analysis. Utterly toothless.

  • Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be privileged and safe
  • So all of these obstacles that you list as reasons to why Biden is so ineffective - why didn't he just nominate an AG who'd give him a free pass to do anything he wanted - like Trump? Why isn't Biden bending the rule of law to halt fascism?

    The answer is because you cling to "precedence" and "civility" so hard that you'd rather see a fascist takeover before a democrat disobeys your precious rules and processes that were set up by 30 year old slave owners. To liberals, the rule of law takes precedence over a fascist takeover. It is bizarre.

  • Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be privileged and safe
  • So let me get this straight... you hold (one specific reading of) the first amendment to be so sacred, that you'd sooner follow it and allow its dissolution by fascists, than deplatform the fascists who wish to dissolve it?

    You'd sacrifice your constitution and nation just so that you could have the moral benefit of having followed it?

  • Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be privileged and safe
  • Get real man. Tik Tok was never about China. It was always about silencing support for Palestinians. This is known.

    Why do I feel like you're the type to argue that fascist rhetoric is protected under the 1st amendment? If you think fascists deserve a platform, you are the bad guy. This is liberalism.

  • Is This A Game?
  • I don't know why you are characterizing this as a republican blunder. It makes perfect sense.

    The Republicans know the Democrats' obsession with civility means a dem would never invoke this prospective right to assassinate a political rival.

    "But the Republicans are being illogical! This is a double standard! There is no intellectual honesty in such an argument!"

    Stop trying to appeal to logic and honesty when it comes to Republicans. This liberal thinking is what got Trump elected the first time.

    Accept that morals, ethics, and logic mean nothing to fascists before it is too late.

    I swear, the patriot front could be doing door-to-door curb stomps once trump gets elected, and liberals would still be smugly pointing out that "violence is no way to solve political issues, chud. Check and mate ;)", right before they get curb stomped.

  • Harm Reduction Rule
  • Pretty bold of you to bring up Roe V Wade as an example of why we need more democrats. Roe V Wade was one of the best examples of democrats effortlessly orienting liberals with the democratic party by sitting on their hands for years as the threat of having abortion rights taken away become more and more clear. The democrats could have codified it, but they didn't because they knew that abortion rights were one of their main avenues to muster up enthusiasm and support for their party. By letting Roe V Wade get eviscerated, the democrats secured support from oblivious liberals for years to come.

    "Vote for us, or you'll lose abortion rights! (as the democrats do jack shit to protect the right)". The democrats would rather lose than shift left, and that revelation becomes terrifying when the issue comes down to genocide.

    The same is true for Trump. The man that liberals get into such a tizzy about was literally propped up by the democrats in order to orient liberals and centrists with the democratic party. By propping up Trump, democrats have coerced liberals into writing a blank check and offering blind support to whoever isn't the republican. And now we've seen the logical conclusion of this strategy: liberals supporting genocide since at least genocide isn't as bad as orange man.

  • Exclusive: Bernie Sanders worries young people are underestimating the threat from Trump
  • So if a Trump presidency means the end of democracy in America, why hasn't Trump been outlawed?

    Why is Biden focusing on banning TikTok instead of truth social? Why weren't the courts getting stacked 2 years ago? Why are the democrats' obsession with "precedent" and "civility" taking more primacy than outlawing a candidate who, by their own admission, would mean the end of democracy?

    By propping up Trump, the democrats have effortlessly oriented you such that you now give blind support to a genocidal regime. You've given the democrats a blank check. The democrats would rather lose to Trump and usher in fascism than shift left in the slightest way (halting genocide).

    Also, epic reddit catchphrase my good sir. I tip my hat you, for you are a gentleman and a scholar.

  • Exclusive: Bernie Sanders worries young people are underestimating the threat from Trump
  • "I still can't figure out how he got in the first time"

    Easy. He was propped up by democrats, namely Hillary Clinton.

    If we reach a point 40 years from now when your choice is between a dem supporting 5 genocides and a republican supporting 10 genocides, are you still going to be militantly democrat and lash out at leftists who are sick of the whole thing?

  • www.theguardian.com Risk of bird flu spreading to humans is ‘enormous concern’, says WHO

    Chief scientist voices fears about H5N1 variant that has ‘extraordinarily high’ mortality rate in humans

    Risk of bird flu spreading to humans is ‘enormous concern’, says WHO

    The World Health Organization has raised concerns about the spread of H5N1 bird flu, which has an “extraordinarily high” mortality rate in humans.

    An outbreak that began in 2020 has led to the deaths or killing of tens of millions of poultry. Most recently, the spread of the virus within several mammal species, including in domestic cattle in the US, has increased the risk of spillover to humans, the WHO said.

    “This remains I think an enormous concern,” the UN health agency’s chief scientist, Jeremy Farrar, told reporters in Geneva.

    Cows and goats joined the list of species affected last month – a surprising development for experts because they were not thought susceptible to this type of influenza. US authorities reported this month that a person in Texas was recovering from bird flu after being exposed to dairy cattle, with 16 herds across six states infected apparently after exposure to wild birds.

    The A(H5N1) variant has become “a global zoonotic animal pandemic”, Farrar said.

    “The great concern of course is that in ... infecting ducks and chickens and then increasingly mammals, that virus now evolves and develops the ability to infect humans and then critically the ability to go from human to human,” he added.

    So far, there is no evidence that H5N1 is spreading between humans. But in the hundreds of cases where humans have been infected through contact with animals over the past 20 years, “the mortality rate is extraordinarily high”, Farrar said, because humans have no natural immunity to the virus.

    From 2003 to 2024, 889 cases and 463 deaths caused by H5N1 have been reported worldwide from 23 countries, according to the WHO, putting the case fatality rate at 52%.

    The recent US case of human infection after contact with an infected mammal highlights the increased risk. When “you come into the mammalian population, then you’re getting closer to humans”, Farrar said, warning that “this virus is just looking for new, novel hosts”.

    Farrar called for increased monitoring, saying it was “very important understanding how many human infections are happening ... because that’s where adaptation [of the virus] will happen”.

    “It’s a tragic thing to say, but if I get infected with H5N1 and I die, that’s the end of it,” he said. “If I go around the community and I spread it to somebody else then you start the cycle.”

    He said efforts were under way towards the development of vaccines and therapeutics for H5N1, and stressed the need to ensure that regional and national health authorities around the world had the capacity to diagnose the virus.

    This was being done so that “if H5N1 did come across to humans, with human-to-human transmission”, the world would be “in a position to immediately respond”, Farrar said, calling for equitable access to vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics.
