  • Personally I don't think it's a bad idea to tap into the energy coming from the WSB crowd. They're just a disillusioned with the financial system as leftists are, but their "revolution" is going to fail hard when those who pumped early pull out leaving those who joined the "fight" late holding on to a shit stock bought at an overvalued price. Nonetheless, there's real anger with Wall Street in WSB and it would suck if the right took all that energy and directed it toward rightwing politics as people like Don Trump Jr and Ted Cruz are trying to do



















  • No one is defending Obama. I've consistently stated in every comment of mine that he's imperialist. You only brought him up as a strawman. Your argument is that Trump isn't an expansionist, when I've shown you that he's expanded drone strikes, more drone strikes in 2 years than Obama in 8. He's expanded the war in Yemen. His administration backed two coups in Latin America, and lastly he's expanded the military budget substantially. So you can bring Obama up all you want, but Obama being an imperialist does not negate Trump also being an imperialist and expanding its power

    From the article:

    President Donald Trump has revoked a policy set by his predecessor requiring US intelligence officials to publish the number of civilians killed in drone strikes outside of war zones.

    There have been 2,243 drone strikes in the first two years of the Trump presidency, compared with 1,878 in Mr Obama's eight years in office, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a UK-based think tank.

    Now will you stop acting like Trump is not an imperialist or are you going to keep acting like the chuds who think he's anti establishment?



  • obama didn’t pull troops out, he put troops in and bombed more. ten times more strikes than bush

    Those were drone strikes. Do you know the difference between drone strikes and ground troops? Obama withdrew troops from Iraq. This is common knowledge. What does any of this have to do with total civilian deaths which Bush had way more of, or the fact that Trump is also an imperialist?

    1. You still have not given me a total obama civilian death count

    2. Obama being an imperialist does not negate Trump being an imperialist. You seen to keep ignoring this too
