You could not more wrong. American capitalism is the worst form of capitalism in the world. It is only attractive to people from truly desperate situations.

This is always the Libertarian shitpost response: “you’re free to do what you want” because you don’t recognize economic coercion. It’s a perfectly OK form of limiting freedom. Fuck off.

The kabuki performance that is international diplomacy is almost never dropped, but in this case, it is justified, and the world should line up with Zelenskyy.

Yay, we got him! That’s the game, folks, we caught Trump in a lie.

Bullshit. They’ve been accepting deportees for years. They objected to the treatment and military transport of deportees, and refused those. They each threatened tarriffs, and then Trump agreed to treat them like human beings and send them home on commercial flights, like has always been done.

Stop making it sound like Trump’s strongman tactics are doing anything.

There are always upvotes for people saying that everything is solvable with a perfect moral stance. There are always downvotes for anyone saying “political realities exist”.

And with Putin’s crotchwasher Trump back as POTUS, the US will do nothing and say nothing about it.

The oligarchy of the US has made Musk feel too strong, too powerful. The rest of the world isn’t quite there, as odd as that sounds.

“Free” does not mean “unregulated”. Fire in a crowded theater. Everyone who flogs the free speech argument in the service of promoting fascism can fuck right off.
