You obviously don’t know the history of voting tests. In the US, tests were designed to be virtually impossible for anyone to pass, but white voters didn’t have to take them, because the rule was you didn’t have to take the test if your grandparents could vote. They were implemented in a racist way.

You want to trust the government to design and implement tests, that sort of thing is what it could easily lead to, whether you want it or not.

Number 11 says, “cross out the number,” as in, only one number. Pretty sure you have to cross out “1” so that it’s just a bunch of zeros.

When you put it that way, it is pretty unbelievable that a US politician would follow through on a promise 🤔

You mentioned that I may want to deflect the responsibility from Biden. -> I don’t have such interests.

Again, why did you feel the need to say that you don’t care about internal US politics when I didn’t say shit about internal US politics?

Whoever did it

Yeah, could be Russia’s biggest geopolitical rival that directly benefited both politically and economically by forcing Europe to buy their gas instead and which said that it would do that exact thing under those exact conditions and easily have the means to do it, or it could’ve been anyone, really.

No, I’m not. I just said that this post was likely Russian propaganda. That’s it.

Because the post criticized the fact that American citizens get zero say over foreign policy, you assumed it was “likely Russian propaganda.”

Maybe you should engage in some critical reflection instead of repeating whatever imperialist genocidal powers tell you to think.

I do, you should try it yourself sometime, bootlicker.

Yes, because you’re claiming that anyone who doesn’t fall in line with your Orwellian “five minutes hate” is a traitor. That’s the definition of bootlicking.

I never denied that Russia has propaganda. I do deny your assumption that anyone who isn’t slobbering over US boots must automatically be licking Russian boots, that anyone who doesn’t do like you do and fall in lockstep behind hating whoever the people in power tell us to hate must be a traitor or spy.

Keep denouncing anyone who’s antiwar for their lack of patriotism, you’re making Goering proud.

Why would I want to deflect blame from Biden? I’m telling you that I’m a European and I don’t care who’s in charge in the US or which president did what.

Why did you feel the need to say that you don’t care about internal US politics when I didn’t say shit about internal US politics?

All I did was post a clip of the US president promising that he’ll stop NordStream if Russia invaded Ukraine, despite not having the legal authority to do so. Then, of course, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the NordStream pipeline mysteriously got stopped (could be anyone, really!)

because that sabotage was very convenient for every party

It certainly wasn’t convenient for Russia or Germany.

Ok? The significance of the clip I posted was not that it was Biden saying it but what he said he would do (and very likely did). Why did that prompt you say, “FYI: in the EU we don’t play the “it was Biden vs it was Trump” game. We stop at “it was the US?””

The reason I posted that clip was to establish the reason why I believe the US blew up the pipeline. Yes, it happens to be Biden in that clip, but you’re the one who started talking about distinguishing between Trump and Biden and then about not distinguishing between Trump and Biden. I’m just talking about the US.

The only thing I can think of is that you’re trying to preemptively shift the NordStream thing away from Biden and onto the US in general as a way of deflecting blame from Biden. But again, I just brought it up to establish US policy on NordStream, not specifically to bash Biden. If it’s not that, then I just straight up don’t understand you at all.

You literally just said that it was because of Republicans that the EU soured on the US and now you’re telling me that in the EU you don’t look at which party is in charge but at the US as a whole. Do you not see how these statements are contradictory?

Republicans just convinced Europe that the USA cannot be trusted anymore

FYI: in the EU we don’t play the “it was Biden vs it was Trump” game. We stop at “it was the US”.

What?

Naturally, the common people don’t want war. . . but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

Fucking bootlicker.

Personally, I sub out the chlorine for hydrogen and oxygen, which I know are safe because that’s what’s in water. It also helps keep my soup nice and warm whenever I sprinkle it in.

Eating sodium chloride is kind of insane. It would be like if you took my stuff and poured a bunch of hydrochloric acid on it and then sprinkled that all over your food. Yeah, no thanks.

More or less agree with your take, but:

I am reasonably confident this would not have happened in a Dem regime.

I’m fairly confident in my memory that Israel attacked Syria under Biden, taking advantage of the instability to expand it’s illegal settlements in the Golan Heights. Am I wrong?

As opposed to Biden merely calling their decisions “outrageous” and strongly condemning them while supporting Netanyahu after they issued a warrant for his arrest.

I’m not sure how that’s connected to Syria, tbh.

How so?

How marketable would you say your illness was?

Your options would be: begging strangers on the internet for money and going viral, being rich enough to pay out the ass for really good insurance when you were healthy, declaring bankruptcy, and playing Luigi’s Mansion.

The Ghorman massacre was referenced

Ghorman has been a part of Star Wars lore for ages, yes. There is nothing about the word “Ghorman” that connects it to Gaza. The things that connect it to Gaza are mainly twofold, first, the specific phrase “Ghorman Plaza,” (which did not exist in the lore prior to Andor, to my knowledge) and second, the intentional use of the word “genocide” in connection to it, especially in Mon Mothma’s speech. Just “Ghorman” vs “The genocide in Ghorman Plaza” is a huge difference.What the writers did was to take an existing, largely undefined part of Star Wars lore, and flesh it out in a way that ties in to current events.

I have no clue why you think I’m saying the word “Ghorman” has anything to do with Gaza, on it’s own or as it existed in the lore.

Which country do you think the people masscred in Tiananmen square were from? Were the people massacred there people known for making silk?

This is incredibly dumb, and I’m just highlighting this part of your comment as an example to others of how far a brain is capable of stretching something to make it be about what the person wants it to be about. Obviously, there’s no reasoning with that, but the whole plot regarding Ghorman revolves around a foreign, occupying force planning to exterminate or drive out a population in order to seize resources. There is zero connection to China, apart from silk.

Yeah they referenced silk thinking “I’m sure people will get get the connection from silk to textiles to Palestinians.”

People in the Star Wars universe probably don’t really remember Ghorman as “the place that makes silk” in the same way people from our universe don’t think of Palestine as “the place that makes textiles.” But it’s important to be included to illustrate that Ghorman had an economy and culture before it became known as the site of a massacre, regardless of the Empire’s attempts to erase it, in the same way that it’s important to remember Palestinian culture despite Zionist attempts to reduce them to animals. I doubt the audience was expected to specifically to make the connection, but even if you’re unaware of Gaza’s history with textiles (and even if it wasn’t intentional), it still conveys the message in broad strokes.

Obviously, this wouldn’t convey anything meaningful if it were about China. But then, that’s the level on which reactionaries understand art.
