I am not moving the goalposts, I am trying to put things into context rather then nitpicking every single sentence and strawmaning every argument. I speak in general terms, as I am not a robot. Everything I say is in a general political context.

Doesn’t look like it.

Reason stated for post removal was that it wasn’t recent. It has nothing to do with the headline. We can additionally make excuses all we want, but the post was valid and now, after publicly complaining, it was restored.

It was an article about how we got into this problem in the first place and therefor how we need to go about fixing it. You can’t fix problems by only listing the media narrative that currently suits them without looking for the context in the bigger picture and dealing with the cause instead of the symptom.

Most of the new articles do exactly the opposite, they get us into making the problem worse by voting for the party that got him elected, the same problematic person they are running against in the first place. Just so they can do what they are doing now and have been doing since then, pretend that they are better alternative, while still supporting him because they need him to scare the voters into voting for them.

Thanks for restoring it. I think it is important for c/politics to allow older articles that are still relevant, since often media only tries to push the narrative it is currently benefiting from. This allows for people to have a bigger picture and see the causes of the problem we are in today and therefor how to change it.

politics isnt a news channel

Worst part is, he wouldn’t be arrested for genocide in 2024. He would probably be seen as lesser of two evils or something stupid like that.

You shouldn’t have political goals when moderating just to support certain politician. That is a conflict of interest and abusing the mod power to further a goal of your political candidate.

You can’t seriously compare Russia and NATO by military power. They are competent to keep small regions under control, but they don’t have even a small portion of the world wide power that NATO has.

It’s not a buzzword just because you want to keep it a secret.

You clearly see this as a game. You know exactly what I said and you are running away from it, just to have some kind of play of semantics like that somehow communicates some greater point. I really have no idea what is the point of this comment of yours.

I don’t think you understand the point of view people critisizing Biden. Democrats are the ones that put Trump in power, just so they can have an easier elections and don’t have to place more popular candidates to run against them. Voting for Biden is simply accepting defeat, that their plan worked and that they can do absolutely anything and you will support them because they will also support a worse candidate on the other side at the same time. It is not looking at the big picture, long term. In the future they can get someone like Trump to be a Democrat candidate and support someone even worse on the Republican side and you will have to vote for them under exactly the same situation. Democrats have a candidate that literarlly funds a genocide and we would think that once that line is crossed people would simply say that is enough, but apparently even Hitler would be elected in US elections as long as he places someone worse as prime candidate of another party.

Organization can’t be better then it’s members that are controlling it.

Well if you claim that you are attacked by “Terrorism” and you declare war on it, you can make any invasion a defensive action. That is my point, in theory it is defensive, but they can twist it any way they want to make it offensive. Also if you go around the World claiming you are there to stop a genocide (ironically while funding a genocide yourself) just so you can send your army there, than you have no reason for CIA not to just finance some genocidal maniacs on one side to justify you going in there to “save” them (like Israel funded Hamas, and HIlary funded Trump). This is not even legally clean, just ignoring the laws when they don’t suit your interests.

So what are your views on liberals that support Biden regardless of his funding of genocide in Palestine? To me it seems exactly like this mind set of “we can’t fix this, lets just not let their problem spill over to us”.

This nationalism that you are maybe by mistake promoting is a tool for people in power to give them more power and not unite together against them. Stabilization of a country you are talking about is unfortunately stability of the rich politicians to rule over poor people while they suffer and die. That is a stable system that we shouldn’t defend. This system shouldn’t be stable, it should crumble and people of all nations should unite in their fight against their politicians, not foolishly support their leaders just because they are from their own region.

Russian, Chinese and US government have more in common then any of their citizens do with their governments. Same goes for politicians inside a country, like Biden and Trump. They fight each other for more power, but they easily unite against people that threaten their power. Don’t think for a second that if US citizens went against their government, Biden (or Trump) wouldn’t ask for (and receive) support from Russian and Chinese government.

It is not US vs China or Russia, it is governments vs the people. Other narratives are just tools to divide people, nationalism was built for this purpose. For centuries regular people didn’t feel like part of a certain nation, it was years of successful propaganda that got people thinking like they have more in common then just some same tyrant ruling over them.

CCP is better than the US. You’re implying you’re a TikTok user Not even close. Never used TikTok in my life, I have no reason to believe CCP is any better then US either. I don’t think you should assume that when someone is critisizing one group is automatically support another, this is exactly what everyone in power is using as propaganda to discredit any critique of them.

This is also the liberal mind set.

I don’t think anyone is funding anything on lemmy, we are too small of a userbase. And in other media, I am sure that every politician who has an interest will use any oprotunity for their advantage, however we shouldn’t forget the fact that this is actually the case. Biden is actually sidesteping congress to send support to Israel, in fact, without it, Israel would have no chance in actually doing it. US government is fully funding this genocide.

Irony in this comment. A lot of people claiming all antiBiden sentiment is Russian propaganda and this guy is also mistaken thinking this is Biden cabinet supporting him and not just regular people who are falling for politicians PR.
