And you're actively, to this day, supporting Trump's policies on arresting and deporting law-abiding student protestors and agitating for war against Iran because you're a Zionist piece of shyt who hates leftists more than you hate right-wing fascists. But sure, pulling the US out of the JCPOA is a bigger moral crime than the genocide of Palestinians. You fukking clown.You supported Trump who pulled the US out of the JCPOA. You're not a moral or ethical person. You don't care.

A good article on this topic in Jacobin by Daniel Bessner of The American Prestige podcastExactly. I said this when they first arrested Mahmoud Khalil, these illegal and unconstitutional actions against lawful legal residents of the United States is the biggest authoritarian red line that has been crossed to date by this Administration. Like, textbook caricature authoritarian imagery. Unprecedented, uncharted territory in the history of this country.
While those who talk of fascism are honorably motivated by a desire to apprehend what’s going on, use of the term obscures both the nature and stakes of the present moment. There is a fundamental truth at the heart of Trumpism that makes comparisons to European fascism difficult to sustain. Put simply, Trump and his hangers-on are building on long-standing American traditions and are using the normal tools of the American government to dismantle democracy. Trumpism is not a foreign importation. It is distinctly homegrown. And if the Left hopes to combat it now and in the future, we must focus on transforming the profoundly American sources of the president’s authoritarianism.
Indeed, at various points observers have criticized the fascism debate for being little more than a navel-gazing academic exercise, a decadent example of scholarly disconnection in an era when the Trump administration is causing very real human suffering. But this criticism, while understandable, misses the mark. To name something is to diagnose it, and to diagnose a malady is to identify a cure. An incorrect political diagnosis will inevitably lead to ineffective resistance. If a patient suffered from heart disease, but a doctor diagnosed them with a hemorrhoid, then eventually the patient would die. A similar thing could be said for democracy.
Let’s begin with Trump’s attempted dismantling of the administrative state. To appreciate what’s going on, one doesn’t have to point to any foreign Führerprinzip; one only has to investigate the actual history of the US presidency.
Since the founding of the American republic in 1776, the presidency has grown in power while Congress, the supposed representative of the people’s will, has abdicated its responsibilities. This is most evident in the realm of foreign policy. The US Congress is constitutionally responsible for declaring war, but it has only done so eleven times, the last being in 1942.
Since that moment, though, the United States has been in a state of near-constant war. In addition to the well-known Korean, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq Wars, in the decades after World War II, the United States has intervened against foreign societies, according to the political scientists Sidita Kushi and Monica Duffy Toft, with “the threat, display, or direct usage of force” over two hundred times. And what is true in foreign policy is true in other issue areas — the president has increasingly become the equivalent of an elected monarch. Put another way, there has been an ongoing, if usually ignored, constitutional crisis since at least the 1940s.
For the remainder of the twentieth century, to quote Goodman, “neighborhood sweeps and expedited deportations had periodically resulted in the removal of U.S. citizens and permanent residents.” In fact, after Bill Clinton signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act in 1996, “all noncitizens, including many long-term, legal permanent residents, found themselves subject to formal deportation.” To take just one example Goodman highlights, “between 2005 and 2010, some 1.4 million people — half of them children born in the United States — returned to Mexico either by choice, coercion, or force.”
lmfao I never made a single post in favor of leaving the Iran nuclear deal, @88m3 made that up out of whole-cloth like the rest of his claims. The two posts he linked have absolutely nothing to do with the Iran nuclear deal. These are the only posts I've made even related to Iran's nuclear capabilities:What was your logic in wanting to leave the Iran nuclear deal?
(Sincere question)
I believe all nuclear weapons in every country's arsenal should be dismantled. I just don't think the centrality of American presence in all of these regions and conflicts is a good thing. I don't think there's any justification for America to impose her will on every nation across the world, especially when our aims there are to extract economic wealth from these countries to their detriment. Ideally, I'd like to see an organization like the UN replace most of the American presence in these foreign places.
imo the end goal shouldn't be denying Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities, it should be doing what we can to help bring peace to the region. but fundamentally I don't view this as a puzzle for America to play the lead role in solving.
just keep making stuff up and throwing it all the wall kiddo
