He’s a prick at the end of the day, hence I said possibly ratings. I assume also he’s seen the vast swing in public opinion and wants to make sure he’s somehow on the “reasonable” side. In this specific clip though, he’s on the money.

They can all fuck right off. There is so much I’d like to say but I cannot because I will be accused of inciting violence. Funny how Right wing and zionist incitement is allowed on social media, but when anyone left leaning says anything immediate bans. I’m hoping something of biblical proportions happens in Israel. Maybe it will turn into a self fulfilling prophesy, anyway, these are words, I can’t encourage anyone other than any gods out there to rain sulfer and all that. I sympathise with the left wing Jews in Israel, but unfortunately, the genocide continues and this is their governement. Much like Maga now is, like it or not, the face of America, well Genocide is now the face of Israel.

I absolutely detest him, but at least he has the guts (even if it’s just for ratings) to ask these questions and make these genocidal maniacs look inept. The majority of “news” media just pander to them.

I love the versatility of the way Aussies use the word cunt.

Ok, that made me laugh, the feathered equivalent of a honey badger. Bullies!

All I can tell you is good luck my friend, a lot of people around the world sympathise with those who want change, and we’re genuinely hoping to see Trump, Musk, Theil, ice and bullshit barbies and the rest behind bars for treason someday.

What astounds me is there are more foreigners like me who are so much more knowledgeable about US laws than the average Maga. It’s insanity the mental gymnastics they manage. Everyone has this information at their fingertips, sadly facts don’t seem to matter anymore.

People will die either way, Trump is gutting medical aid and social services across the board. People can either accept it meekly and just die, or try and fight and die. Honestly there are no good choices left for normal Americans who didn’t vote for this. But a choice has to be made.

“but it’s going to have to get significantly worse first.” Unfortunately given what we (the rest of the world are seeing) I think you’re right, but it just makes no sense to me (who comes from the middle east, had to flee civil war and lived in the west) how easily it seems to be for this administration to literally dismatle the US as we know it.

“but the average person is now more focused on their own immediate survival than anything else. People are losing access to life saving medicine. They’re worried about catching a life threatening illness, and food costs double what it used to” This, in hindsight has been a strategy that has worked brilliantly in controlling the general population.

Well done for getting out and giving yourself this peace of mind).

I meantioned the 2nd simply because it’s something that I see constantly being challenged online as to what it actually means, and how people seem to pick and choose parts of an amendment. As for the free speech, well at the end of the day it’s up to you to collectively decide where free speech ends and hate and violent incitment begins. The Europeans have their versions of that, obviously that’s suited to them, but obviously America is a different kettle of fish.

It is easy to say from the outside, however I say this as someone who took part in mass protests hoping to bring down a massively corrupt government who literally stole all the peoples money, I’ve been tear gassed, water cannoned and had rocks thrown at me. I mean no offense to you at all but yes, it is a defeatist attitude and unfortunately I can’t offer any options as to what to do, but doing nothing will enable your freedoms and liberties to be eaten away altoghether. I think people are more prone to react once it affects them personally and that’s understandable, especially how most American workers are held hostage by their jobs (paycheck to paycheck living, health insurance etc).

I wish you luck friend.

Thankfully I’m not an american and don’t have that problem, I mean you could hold a national referendum, a vote for transparency? I mean adverts for medication have disclaimers, America is known universally for it’s litigation and hence masses of discliamers, can’t obviously fake news be treated that way, a disclaimer that this article, clip etc is opion based and NOT factual? I’m not too well versed on the constitution, but it seems to be bandied about a lot (especially the 2nd amendment, which isn’t even followed as I believe it mentions well organised militias or so). I feel like the entire US political system needs an overhaul, and yes I know it’s an easy thing to say, but near impossible to do with such a divided population.

I kind of get that, but words have to have consequeces, if I’m an influential person with millions of followers and I tweet, kill the rich, I’m going to jail for inciting violence. When the right wing starts calling leftists terrorists, that’s the same thing. They don’t want FREE speech, they want their own free hate speech and propaganda. And by now I think it’s pretty clear your consitution needs a few new amendments to ensure (if you survive this presidency) that no person or group can holdthe country hostage like this. Too much money in politics was always going to lead here. Also, the left is still playing by the rules while Trump has repeatedly shat on the constitution.

There is actually, unfortunately it’s a very hard choice and it will require sacrifice, be it jobs, etc, otherwise you’ll end up being the worlds riches failed state.

America has become a fascist meme, a joke of a country. I’ve been commenting quite a bit these days because I can’t understand how this is even a thing? suing to allow themselves to lie, what is wrong with you people!

“It ultimately boils down to the fact that the vast majority of the country is unable to mount a general protest because we’re all wage slaves, and healthcare is tied to having a job here, so we’re all predominantly conditioned to be nice little worker lemmings for the most part.”

That’s the problem right there, right now you NEED action, no revolution was won and no government overthrown by people tweeting, and we all know how well “Thoughts and prayers” works.

It’s an extremely complex situation, and I will try and explain in briefly. During the 1950s onwards, South Lebanon (where the majority of the Shiites live) was long neglected by succesive central governments and were mostly menial workers and in poverty. Once the civil war started in the early 70’s, variuos sects all formed militias, and one of the last to arrive on the scene was Hezbollah, funded and set up by the Iranian revoloutionary guard. During that time, they provided schools, hospitals, jobs, and most other basic services that were never supported by the central government in the south. Now add to that Lebanon was under Israeli occupation for over a decade, and it was Hezbollah’s relentless resistance that finally drove them out in the year 2000 and at that point they enjoyed massive popularity among the entire population.

Several years later, they enter politics, miscalculate an attack on the border which leader to the 2006 war, and from there they lost their way. HOWEVER, they are still providing services to the poorest in the South, and the Shiite people are generally traibalistc and very loyal. So they will continue to show strongly in the polls.

(To add context, the leader of the Lebanese Forces group, a right wing christian group founded under a facist idelology, was convicted of war crimes, jailed, pardoned and is now again in politics, I make this example to show how fucked politics in Lebanon is, and every sect will hold onto dear leader regardless of the shit they’ve done. 80% of our political leaders were warlords during the civil war and they are still in power today).

Obviously Ive tried to simplify this as much as possible.

Hello to my Americans friends, and an outsider looking in, we have a very famous saying about the situation you’re currently in. It roughly translates to, “holy fucking shit, you guys are totally fucked”. Honestly I’m baffled by the seeming lack of tangible response from the general public, I understand 30 odd % voted for this and another 30 or so couldn’t be bothered. But the rest of you should be shutting down everything, how are you just holding these weekend protests and hoping for change. Cripple the bloody country! The longer you wait the worse it gets.

Sincerly someone who knows what Dictatorships are.

Well as long as they’ve expressed alarm that’s alright then. Once the IDF bring that down to toddlers, they’ll escalate to “Shock”. Pathetic timeline we live in.

I agree that your entire political system needs a massive overhaul. Far too many lobby groups are spending stupid money to make money, leaving the majority of Americans voices when voting redundant. I wish you luck but I can’t see an easy way out of this for you.
