  • Have they tried as hard as they’re trying right now?

    Nope. They have never been this desperate.

    Did they have someone named Donald Trump who was interested in helping them

    The (so-called) “west” has been interested in helping them since 1948. That’s why they have the kind of firepower now they could only have dreamt of in 1948 - and they are failing nonetheless.

    or at least entirely getting out of their way

    The US isn’t standing in their way. Palestinians with RPG-7s are standing in their way.

    white supremacists are willing to go when given enough power.

    White supremacism gave itself all the power it wanted all over the world. And yet, despite this power, one by one the colonialist chickens was forced to come home to roost after the failure of white supremacism to remain dominant in the colonized world. It’s now the US’s turn to experience that failure.

    It’s kind of disingenuous.

    It portrays Orthodox Jewishness as being responsible for genocidal Zionism when Orthodox Jewishness has pretty much always been vehemently critical of both Zionism and the creation of Israel.

    The Jewish Zionists that perpetrated the Nakba looked no different than their fellow Europeans.



  • I am not pretending any such thing.

    This you?

    And what he and his people rose up against was the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral win.

    Zig-zagging sideways does not conflate to up.

    Because if it’s wrong, Trump should be on the ballot in Colorado.

    Is that what you are really worried about? A rich white supremacist trust-fund baby sicced a white lynch mob on people in the US in front of the world’s cameras, got away with it scott-free and you think your problems only extends to said white supremacist trust-fund baby ending up in the Waffle House again?

    I’d say you might want to start worrying about the factors that enabled him to be there in the first place.


  • And what he and his people rose up against

    Lol! Hey, if you are really desperate to pretend that Trump is some kind of “underdog” “rebelling” against the establishment, be my guest.

    Trump and his ilk is the establishment - there is absolutely nothing for them to “insurrect” against. Hasn’t been in the US since a pack of rich slavers decided to pretend to be revolutionaries.




  • And he’s perfectly correct. Insurrections happen from below - Trump was literally the president of the damn country.

    No, he’s not an insurrectionist. You could make the case that this was an (extremely) bumbling attempt at an autocoup… but it’s such an incompetent one that it hardly justifies the word outside of a purely legal framework. He should have asked the dictators from those “shithole countries” he famously disparaged how to do it - they’d show him how properly done autocoups really work.

    What I find so strange is that the media in the US doesn’t want to talk about what Trump actually did - sicc a white lynch mob on the capitol. That’s what it was. Fortunately, it was a very incompetent one - the only people they managed to lynch was some of their fascist besties (ie, police - the institution that protected Trump’s fascist enablers from antifa when they were marching in the streets). Yet, for some reason, everybody looks at this and squeals, “insurrection!” instead of calling it what it really is.
