trudeau hasn't aged since he was 30

Managing to be racist about Germans is impressive but somehow they manage it

conspiracy brained shit

its pretty much the position of most european leaders across the spectrum!

yeah no this is, pretty normal? its effectively just saying "its not my favourite but it is necessary for the moment. i would like to explore other avenues, however"

the double-event is upon us already

macron's soft-resetting for good rolls

besides if you can't beat an old incumbent governor in a primary, how are you beating an old incumbent senator with similar fundamental in a general

this is asking for a coronation, which, I thought people were against?

the Ainu/Hokkaido would probably still be closer to Ireland, tho more specifically Northern Ireland atp I'd imagine

more reasoning for my belief that japan is east-asian britain; hegemonic center-right party in a death-spiral nominates a woman who instantly wrecks them

Israel highlighting how many 100s of aid trucks they will now allow into Gaza is a tacit admission that they were using aid as a weapon of war, by the way. seems weird not to talk about this

oh the venezuelans didn't, but it was noticeable when Biden and co started calling out Maduro for rigging his own elections in 2024 lol

2024 elections happening when they did is also probably didn't help since what forpol credibility they had amassed went down the drain with their handling of Oct7/The Genocide that followed

E33 has no right to be that good

its funny cuz you can absolutely call Trump's Republican party Leninist, as many leadership figures themselves have

This is a big part of why I found a lot of the dooming over Takaichi to be so silly. She is deeply unpopular on her right flank and most likely would never have a strong enough mandate to do anything.

you know what fair

reactionary centrists insist trans acceptance went too far & generated a backlash

but the UK legal transition for 20 years, it wasn't an issue until the press made it one

Isn’t this like, part of the core mistake that was made with trying to integrate post-ussr Russia into Europe proper

I feel like people overemphasize the former sometimes, if only because there was -plenty- of primary inspiration in the rise of Volkish Nationalism in Germany at the time, as well as prior history of eastward expansion by them

but Fascism absolutely is transatlantic and takes inspiration as such

The thing that most people don't realize is that the deportation machine was already operating at capacity. No one, ever, was just allowing millions of undocumented immigrants into the country willy-nilly. That was mythology. The process to get legal status in this country is already a very high bar
