Fucking evil rats, all of them. Reichstag rodents.

Maybe. But then again, I saw many “Trump things” become Biden and bipartisan things, from tariffs on China to Golan Heights annexation.

Those are fair points. Greenlanders who want independence generally want to remain a NATO member nation. The main issue is that they’ll face political and economic pressure from the US. They have the population of Manhattan… Kansas! I don’t see how they have a chance in hell at remaining sovereign if the US approaches them. It’s one thing to have social welfare from a nation you have contentious relations with, another to be promised millions by US megacorporations and Congress.

I don’t think so. I think that the old MAGAts running the Pentagon think it’s a good idea and Trump is oushing the Overton window for them. I can easily see a path toward US incorporation or domination of Greenland that does from US-backed Greenland independence to strategic and economic alliance to US domination and eventual Peurto Rico kind of status. It would all be political. Denmark can’t stop that actually.

Trump is a fucking idiot. He should just proclaim support for Greenland’s independence and offer the tiny population some great economic and diplomatic deals to get his way.

To play devil’s advocate: Greenland has only like 60,000 people. It’s bigger than the France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, Belgium and Greece combined. It is also seeking independence because they aren’t interested in being ruled by a random small European country that tried to sterilize them and steal their resources. Denmark has slowly caved-in to their independence demands because it wasn’t interested in being a colonial power. Now it just holds on to it on behalf of NATO.

From a nation-state’s point of view, this is an unihabited land with era-defining strategic and economic significance.

The US military has an impossible nut to crack with China. It recognizes that climate change will happen, but is going to position itself to come out ahead from it (if it doesn’t destroy us all). It’s not confident that it will maintain the global relevance it has today by the mid-21st century.

Why not smash and grab while you can? Create Greater Israel, destroy Iran, take Greenland, control the Panama canal, and most likely give Australia nuclear weapons (and perhaps Japan but not likely). Tell the UN and other international institutions to fuck off if they stop serving your national interests. Turn Europeans into vassal states.

That’s the post-liberalism future lf America that I see.

It’s not far right fascist. It is liberal Zionist. Liberals can and have been genocidal too. Liberal Zionism is incompatible with humanism or universal values.

It has gotten so worse that the “anti-fascist” choice helped commit a holocaust that the fascists want to finish.

The entire US conservative establishment is waging a holy crusade against anyone who opposes their Israeli alter ego’s Biblical bloodlettings. You’d think they had no problems to handle at home.

It’s a win-win for them. They can let genocidally anti-Muslim rhetoric on while keeping their selectively pro-Israel content policy, getting support from the burgeoning far right in the US and Europe while suppressing the anti-establishment element of it that happens to be the most anti-semitic and anti-Israel, and avoiding the scrutiny of the AIPAC-bought Congress and White House that they’re letting hatred of Israel proliferate by letting Palestinians use the platform.

The article mention management position quotas

It’s actually amazing how the 2020 Biden win was the perfect setup for Trump to get the term he really wanted. Had Trump won in 2020, he and the GOP would be in utter shambles right now and 2024 would have been a landslide for whoever the Dem candidate was, and there’s a good chance the world would look better than it does now too

I could have told you that a week after it happened. One of the most bizarrely overblown events I’ve ever seen. The attempt to turn bloodsucking legislators who were heckled and trolled by some hooting red state morons in to America’s Beer Hall Putsch was DOA. Only hyperpartisan #resist Dem voters obsessed over it. A nation that celebrates a healthcare CEO getting assassinated Hitman-style aren’t going to gasp and faint because Nancy Pelosi’s desk was vandalized and some security guard had a heart attack.

Americans are terrified of Trump, which is understandable, but they then demand that a free pass be given to his opponents, up to and including their acts of genocide.

Been that way since Obama. Turns out they aren’t “our side”, they’re the party of conservativism, neoconservativism and just happy to rely on minority votes and therefore focus on minority rights.

Better than every president after him except maybe first 2 years of Obama.

The article opens up talking about NAFTA, so at least it’s starting from the right angle: policy and international forces.

No. The domestic labor growth is lower than the demand, so the demand is met with the foreign workers necessary.

Exactly what I’m trying to argue. It’s also a strange issue on the left where progressivism in the form of increased job security and regressivism in the form of nativist immigration policy clash.

How so? 25% of FAANG workers are foreign-born and the growth of US tech labor is significantly lower than the demand. Are there policy proposals for addressing that while remaining globally competitive?
