    Threatening a foreign citizen (and former PM no less) with

    1. Invasion of his home country
    2. Expelling him from that country
    3. Forcing him into manual labor in another country (which also is currently independent)

    That is insane, even as a joke.

        I find it hilarious that the little bitch-boy thinks he has any ground to speak to a respected world leader who served as PM for just shy of a decade.

        Also, Trudeau in all his good-natured gentleness would absolutely fuck Shapiro up one-on-one.

      Ever read anything by Terry Brooks? He had a series of modern fantasy books where the world is basically ending, demons walk amongst us, that kinda thing. Anyway, servants of the void who “sold their soul” were known as Once-Men. As in they were human once, but not anymore. I always found that rather fitting…

          He’s one of my favorite authors; I’ll always recommend reading anything by Terry Brooks!

          Have you heard of the Shanarra series? There was a TV series some years back based on the books that aired on MTV. Plus just a whole bunch of books he wrote. Anyway, Shanarra is a fantasy setting in the general style of Tolkien, but with lots of cool unique twists. Anyway, in the books he hints that the world used to be a lot like ours, but then apocalyptic wars reawoke magic while science and technology of course were lost. Eventually he did write I think two trilogies that start in a near modern alternate Earth and describes the series of events that transform that start into the fantasy setting he’d established previously.

          Oh, and recently he apparently blew up the world of Shanarra for good! Like, on a cosmic scale the bad guys win I guess, so game over? I dunno I haven’t had a chance to read the last trilogy yet so no spoilers!

          If you’re new to the series, he recommends starting with Sword of Shanarra. But if you want to read in the order of chronological events, then you should start with Running with the Demon.

        Yes and… the 2016 DNC fuckup was when it escalated. But the momentum started with Reagan and nobody took their foot off the gas until Obama. Centrist dems definitely overcorrected and we ended up with Trump the first time.

          Reagan’s success was convincing the Democrats to under-correct and fully buy-into trickle-down neoliberalism for decades. That way, when people get fed up with it, a Republican gets to claim to be a third option against all those mainstream globalists who’s going to bring jobs back to America. The marks don’t recognize it was the Republican’s who started it in the first place.

            Absolutely this. Bill Clinton was Reagan lite and it wasn’t until Obama’s grass roots campaign that the centrist Democrats were challenged. Hillary thought she could do what Bill did and appeal to “moderate Republicans” and that backfired because she alienated the left of the party and Bernie picked up that thread and ran with it.

              A jewish person that doesnt support them is attacked? Sounds like a dumb lib got what they deserved.

              A woman that supports them is being attacked? Misogyny.

              A woman exists in the ‘wrong’ space? thats DEI

              A man expresses emotions while disagreeing with them? What a soft emotional baby.

              A woman exists, with a valid complaint about men? What about men’s emotions and loneliness?

              What about men’s emotions and loneliness? Well i mean you just have to work out and pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

              Ive seen it all and its pretty consistent in messaging. They pretend to care about men’s issues, but don’t. They pretend that only democrats hate men, but the truth is they dont give a shit about anyone that isnt on their side already, and even then its only so far as they can control the mass messaging and manipulate people into voting against their own class.

              The constant miasma of social media messaging makes it nearly impossible to get past surface level stuff.

      America is currently waiting and sleeping through the time when a civil war or attacking the terrorists is possible. Germany would never have escaped the clutches of the Nazis without outside help. The stupid thing about a world power, however, is that once it has reached this status, nothing helps. Technology is now so advanced that it is no longer a problem.

        Counterpoint:

        The nazis collapsed not because of foreign intervention but because their ideology held that they were all super special boys and everyone else on the planet was subhumans to be subjugated - same as this administration.

          Exactly, they will bring themselves down through their own virtuosic incompetence.

          They are too fucking ignorant of history to understand that by replacing experienced, intelligent leadership with loyalists who believe their own propaganda, is that they have given their opposition the gift of competence. Now the Resistance will have leadership that knows how to really wage war, as well as thousands of insider government workers who hate their stupid arrogant MAGA slavemasters, and will be willing moles, leakers, saboteurs, etc.

          Bullshit.

          The downfall of the Nazis was because they attacked Russia but were in no way prepared for the Russian winter. Where many soldiers simply froze to death (one must not forget meth or Panzerschokolade). This means that soldiers who are overtired do not realize that when they are tired, the body no longer works at 100%, making it more susceptible to cold and producing less heat). This mass death from the cold gave the USSR the opportunity not to be overrun and to push back the Nazis. Had it not been for the winter, the USSR would have fallen. America would have had an enemy over a much larger area (this was all before the Americans were able to seize all the knowledge of the Germans), the Germans were already close to completing the atomic bomb… as well as stealth airplanes etc. Believe me, if so many had not frozen to death in the East (fortunately) it would all have ended very differently.

              The “no foreign intervention” line is pretty nonsensical when the Nazis collapsed from foreign bodies entering their heads at high velocity.

              Yes, it happened because they were moronically arrogant and started a war they couldn’t win, but there’s literally nothing more worthy of the term intervention than someone killing your ass.

              The arrogance does not cause the collapse. The reaction to the arrogance causes it.

                  I understand and agree with your point that the arrogance is both their motivation and downfall, I just don’t agree that it should be phrased as arrogance causing their defeat itself.

                  The Nazis weren’t beaten because they were arrogant. The people they hurt and tried to hurt have their own agency, and it was their choices and actions that beat the Nazis.

                  That’s important. It takes deliberate effort to beat fascism, from everyone opposed to it.

                  Lol no. Check the link. The collapse began with russian winter… Cause most died there. This and just this was the beginn of the collaps. Your comment feals the pretty arrogang american way.

                  Before you think up something again. Yes, the Americans and Russians are partly responsible for the downfall of the Nazis and without their active intervention the collapse would never have happened. But without the mass deaths caused by the winter, it wouldn’t have helped either.

              Yeah just like the “bank run” on FTX wasn’t what caused it to go bankrupt, it was actually the owner’s hubris.

              In much the same way that the fire didn’t burn the house down, it was the tenant buying matches four days earlier.

              If you’re willing to go that many levels down to get to the root cause of an event you might as well say the nazis being humans is what caused the collapse.
