    Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer pulled the same sneering bullshit in 2020.

    Anyone who parrots this sincerely can be blocked without hesitation or regret. No, the guy at war with Ukraine because he’s mad at NATO does not actually want the guy funding Ukraine instead of the guy undermining NATO.

    I can’t even comprehend the people somehow awed by this trivial child-move. It is the most obvious stupid lie he could tell, and it doesn’t even prevent him from later saying the exact opposite, because the people who buy it don’t really care about words.

      Thing is, Trump isn’t “undermining NATO”, he’s trying to escalate the war by calling upon member states to increase military expenditure or he says he’ll let Russia have at them - which is a lie of course, someone put in power through the US political system genuinely wanting to undermine their imperialist institutions would just be replaced, like JFK was for wanting to abolish the CIA.

      It makes sense to prefer the more stable and predictable party over the one that’s less anti-Russia one day, then spouts some bs about Russian space nukes the next, specially when the war has more or less been working out for Russia lately under that stable party.

      Wartime is the best time to pull out the block. Can’t remember how many people on mastodon I yeeted for cheering on the genocide of Palestine. All I can say is that my experience there has been a lot better ever since I did. Genocidal fascists are consistently the worst posters.
