turns out when you absorb most of the german high command into your post-war north atlantic treaty organization, not much changes 🀷

Disgusting.

Such disdain and disregard to human life.

What else can you expect from a nation that was built on genocide and slavery.

If it was Trump it would be $20 Billion but he wouldn't pretend to care about Palestinians. Be happy we get some crocodile tears.

Quite the opposite, it's much better when Trump does this unapologetically because then people can't do mental gymnastics to pretend that it's something other than what it is. Americans were forced to look in the mirror during the Trump years, and then promptly went back to sleep once he was out of power.

"it’s much better when Trump does this unapologetically because then people can’t do mental gymnastics to pretend that it’s something other than what it is..."

Heh, speaking as an American, are you sure about that?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, Americans actually paying attention to what their government is doing is indeed a good thing.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, I agree. I was referring to our endless ability to perform mental gymnastics even when the evidence is directly in front of us.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

oh yeah that's a good point
