No, but maybe there are still some left in the Pentagon who have not been purged yet and some influence left.

That is a bit rich. Are you from the US, or which other country? How many asylum seekers has your country accepted from “the global south”? I doubt it is even a fraction of what EU member states have. People with such an asylum status won’t be deported. This is only about people who fail to qualify for that status.

Btw, it is not the “bourgeoisie” where anti immigration parties are the strongest but their stronghold is among the working class, interestingly not limited to those without immigration background.

Brazil isn’t Venezuela, much bigger, stronger institutions, stronger army etc. Never say never but you think Trump is eager on getting into another Iran war?

Noyb is doing such such an important work.

That’s fair. It still shows how far you can get even with a foldable phone when you are taking care of it. It also shows how long these things are already on the market. Damn, time flies.

5 years for a fold3? I am impressed.

I do believe there is a target audience for folding phones but if you had already "multiple of them, you don’t seem to require a device that can truly last (+5 years).

“Liberals”, “the West” or"much worse examples" are all failing the point I was making before. I was mentioning that in Europe two authoritarians with fascist tendencies conceded to lost elections, after having failed to secure a majority even with underhanded attempts of influencing the outcome. Are you saying that this was not the case or that was not what they were?

But then, the real problem for you appears to be none of that but rather that those autocrats were aligned with Russia, right? Even though that is in the case of Vucic a bit of an overstatement, he played both sides really.

By “US” he means himself of course. L’État c’est moi. He does not have a concept of the US as a state or cares about anything of that kind. Mobsters only care about their own financial interests.

I have no idea what you are talking about, above poster was posting about fascists always being sore losers. Those are just two relevant examples from Europe that occurred very recently. They are not representative but they do prove a point that fascists are sometimes much less entrenched in power than they want to make everyone believed to be. Also Vucic was hardly “America’s” man, he played the US and Russia both at the same time.

Oddly enough, some are more so than others. Take Orban for example. While not shy of all sorts of shady means to bend the election to his will, when all of that did not suffice anymore, he simply conceded defeat. Also the Serbian autocrat Vucic appears to accept defeat. Maybe he is afraid of facing the fate of other autocrats in case he is trying to overthrow anything.

Fascists do what fascists do.

Not really. Genders do exist in biology. They may not always be clear cut (and one animal might have also both genders at the same time) but they most certainly do exist and are the foundation for sexual reproduction which is very much a thing, next to asexual reproduction. Human races are not.

I disagree with the last one as “Races” aren’t simply a thing to begin with, while genders and sexusal orientations to exist, even if they are complicated.
