Fascism is already here. It was here last year when Trump influenced votes while he was not in office. It’s here when his cabinet heaps praise on him because they would never have their jobs without him.
There is still power left in the states and he has not made a major military move so it is hard to tell how much control he has over the generals.
As alliances were forming between the left and the right on israel and Ukraine and war in general, a professional hit takes place to divide and conquer the masses and focus all attention on hating each other instead of those in power that push for war , starvation and genocide. Ukrainians are celebrating his death and kirk was commenting recently how he was afraid to go against israel as they might kill him. Of recent times he started to question what Israel was doing . Who knows but it definitely was a planned professional political assassination. Everyone is expendable when the ruling class are done with you
Knew about it and allowed it to happen. Jews seen to be celebrating promptly left the country. Bin laden family allowed to leave the country when all other US flights were in lockdown
What’s notable about the past week, though, was how the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah not only back-burnered Project Ukraine but kept Project Ukraine on the back burner.
Project Ukraine was not even on a low simmer.
Throughout Canada’s negotiations with the United States (U.S.) on a new trade and security relationship, the Government of Canada’s approach has been to protect Canadian workers and businesses, and to incentivize a negotiated settlement with the U.S.
Canada, however, continues to hit back in the trade war with its neighbour to the south. But it also raises the question of whether Canada absorbing the blows from U.S. tariffs, while painful, might be preferable to the overall economic damage from a full-scale trade conflict.
It’s an issue, perhaps unsurprisingly, on which economists have varying views. Some say Canada has no choice but to retaliate, even if imposing tariffs on U.S. goods will increase prices for Canadians. But others suggest those moves may have little impact on the U.S. …
Instead, he says the economy would be better helped by removing interprovincial trade barriers and untangling the red tape hampering some of Canada’s trade agreements with other countries
“I would frankly say, look, let the Americans shoot themselves in the foot, let them destroy their firms … that rely on Canadian products, let them destroy all that. And let’s move on.” …
You are correct I know squat about tariffs politics.
But I do know about character and decency and humanity and putting in a solid day of work and learning from mistakes, the sort of stuff you don’t seem to care much about.
You miss the point, aligning, or not aligning with “fascists”, is shadow boxing.
(For instance, here is a question: What is that fascist-line, that makes one angry person a fascist - and another simply angry? )
Today’s “battle” is with immature brats that became billionaires who now believe they are Gods. Tragically they do possess the physical power of Gods, unfortunately they possess the peas brains, and dreams of sociopaths.
Georgieboy, to me it seems you live in a world of metaphor, bs, and vague idealistic values, that you yourself don’t get. You simply get that you are pissed off at the current insanity. I think we do have that in common, but it ends there. Probably because I have a much historic, evolutionary footing.
Oh and that is not a rhetorical question Georgieboy.
Sorry can’t resist, she is such a cutie, and what a sweet moment in time and dreaming. At twelve I was getting ready to jump into the stream without realizing it.
…
Actually that’s not true, I was very aware of the pull, 18 and escape was the goal, what I didn’t realize is what an adventure it would be. My tragedy is knowing it was just a moment in time, and that my kids, especially the new round of grandkids, will never know any of that freedom from fear of the future, when adventure was what was awaiting, whereas now it’s like my wilted sunflowers.
Say what ? The liberal Canadian government expanding militarism, collaborating with Trump on the Golden Dome while administering austerity back home on canadian workers.
What do you want me to do about it? Musk wants to blast a thousand rockets a year through our atmosphere to join the traffic jam already going on in the sky right above our heads - I mean the sky really is going to start falling in on us - which should terrify me more?
