I have a friend who’s very plugged into communist propaganda (he’s a communist) and he’s been telling me that America has always funded Iranian rebel forces.

Could be true, IDK, but I figured it was worth mentioning. The concept of America arming the rebels is, at the very least, by no means a novel concept.

I’m on the right, but was talking with my liberal friend a few weeks ago about how everything on your own side, including the extremism, will seem more normative than what’s on the other side. So I get where you’re coming from.

I think the way that Nick Fuentes and Hasan Piker are comparable are that they both would support a genocide of the Jews in Israel. I am not as familiar with Fuentes, but Piker has notably supported international terrorist organizations such as the Houthi Rebels and Hezbollah (including interviewing a Houthi Rebel on his stream once), and hinted at supporting or wishing for violence upon people on the right.

That’s all pretty extreme, as is antisemitism, racism, and Nazism. Hasan Piker is the most notable extremist on the left, so I’ll never fault anyone for comparing him to Nick Fuentes, the most notable extremist on the right, even if it’s not a perfect 1:1 comparison.

I should probably add, though, that Charlie Kirk was by no means an extremist. That “evil” label is quite unwarranted. I’m not even sure why you brought up his name in the same breath as Nick Fuentes and Hasan Piker.

Ah I remember dbzer0, he led a harassment campaign against a Lemmy instance I used to run because he didn’t like some news articles I was posting.

Nice

Kind of a shame. The movie has its issues, but it’s far from horrible.

They just needed to market the movie. A few people saw the trailer and review bombed it for race swapping, so it got a horrible start. It’s got a 2.0 rating on IMDb last I checked, and I don’t think it will ever recover from that.

Yep, he nailed it.

Yep. In hindsight, overfunding ICE and CBP through the BBB was a brilliant move.

Looks like Congress just passed a bill to fund DHS, but not ICE or CBP.

Do you have to make a million dollars in annual income to be a millionaire?

I am happy about the infrastructure plans, although I do not believe that his plans to fix housing will work.

Unless the infrastructure is rapidly improved, the housing crisis is swiftly solved, or taxes are lowered, I don’t think anyone has the power to stop that from happening.

Yes on the former. I will leave the latter to you.

Ain’t nothing ulterior about it! The ultra-rich will leave if Mamdani keeps trying to squeeze them for cash, but probably don’t want to.

I guess bro should’ve thought of that before he tried to pull this stunt then lolllll

Presumably Doom

I’m a bit confused, what’s wrong with his argument here? Are you saying it’s unreasonable to believe that Russia would trade a ceasefire for Ukrainian land?

Really? She is hands-down the biggest female podcast host, and her show is consistently listed in the top 10 if not top 5 of podcasts.

This is silly and I hope the effort fails.

I’ve actually been hearing many people recommending From online, although I’ve never heard it compared to Lost. I’ve more often heard it compared to The X-Files.
