Both are and both should be dealt with
Two things can’t both be true at the same time.
Liberal thought terminating cliche of the year winner 2025
Except Russia did actually do that.
Zionism is a fundamentalist ideology that Israel is following. Zionism is not a religion it is an evil political fundamentalist ideology that claims supremacy of a particular race. Zionism justifies extermination, oppression, exploitation and apartheid of those people who do not ethnically align with their supremisist ideology to fulfill their imperial ambitions. As long as the United States keeps giving them a blank check at the expense of the American people this will only get worse as this cancer spreads. Nazism is similar to Zionism as it is a supremisist ideology that justifies imperialist expansion of the chosen “race” and the systematic extermination and dehumanization of a “race”of people deemed less than.
Zionism is not a religion
True: Most early Zionists were atheists/secular
Yes I was just making that really clear so I don’t get jumped on by Zionists with empty accusations of “antisemitism”
Oh you mean the world that is controlled by the US would dare to lobby the US government. Tell me it ain’t so. Here is a fucking idea, if you don’t like it when someone puts their hand in your cookie jar don’t go around putting your hand in everyone else’s cookie jar.
Aka how dare they interfere with elections, only we are allowed to do that!
It wasn’t for Democrats interfering in Russian elections in 1996 Putin wouldn’t be in power right now to be their boogeyman.
I didn’t realize US interference with Russia election lead to Yeltsin winning and then handing over power to Putin. Really changes the whole US vs Russia angle when they literally put him in power and made sure he stayed there. Kind of like every regime change turned dictatorship that the US has their fingerprints all over.
Its interference with Yeltsin reelected a candidate with a 6% approval rating over a communist with a 90%. Russia wanted to get rid of the capitalism shoved on them by the US
Why not both?
It can be both, but Israel is the greater threat. Because nearly all politicians are either openly taking up AIPAC money or they’re doing the work for AIPAC for free. And Democrats by and large, take more contributions from AIPAC, From the last election cycle. Seven out of the top 10 were contributions to Democrats
Israel wants the shield of the USA and Russia wants the USA out of NATO essentially. We’re in some seriously dangerous times.
From the last election cycle. Seven out of the top 10 were contributions to Democrats
I believe the DNC was paid by Zionist “donor pressure” to lose to the candidate who wanted “Israel to finish the job” more passionately than a democrat who would say polite things against genocide.
But the thing about this is Trump may have said Israel to finish the job, but Biden and Harris had already finished it for him. The picture was literally taken Biden’s last day in office. Biden proudly proclaimed he was a Zionist throughout his political career.
This image is not enough to show how terrible genocide joe was. We have data about the level of destruction.
- 70% of all structures in Gaza were damaged or destroyed
- 92% of all housing units destroyed or damaged
- 88% of school buildings were damaged or destroyed
- 80% of key water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities
- Only 16 out of 36 hospitals were partially functioning, facing critical shortages of fuel, medicine, and clean water.
- 75% of agricultural land, including orchards and greenhouses, was damaged or destroyed
but the explicit absolutist passion for it, gave Trump all of the campaign money, and DNC money was just for their candidates to stay quiet about it.
It’s both. Don’t pretend Russia is harmless.
Only catch is, one of these people is the target of CIA hit squads and the other gets a standing ovation in the US Capital.
Like, you can’t talk to me about influence peddling and not talk about J-Street. Let me know when Washington DC has an R-Street and we can talk about their relative influence.
Lol I spent way to long trying to figure out why putin had an epaulette on
one of these people is the target of CIA hit squads
Allegedly. Its not clear to me Trump sees either of these people as opponents. Everything Israel does coordinates with Russias goals, and vice versus. They might not be coordinating but the outcomes might as well be.

Where do you get this stuff?
By putting a mediocre level of effort into paying attention into world events and world politics, and then analyzing those events.
Its miraculous what putting in even a basic level of effort does. I highly recommend.

Oh no! What could this mean?!
That Putin doesn’t like being so short. Or you know, he’s really unhappy with not being able to manipulate Obama. Probably short as well.
Reading this, it’s very easy to understand how Trump won.
Why is the same guy in that picture twice?

Bruh we’re literally sending billions annually to Israel so they can then turn it around and bribe our politicians to get more.

Looks like you drank the entire bucket of us propaganda. Liberals that see Russia everywhere is to distract you from the failures of their political party. The politicians that screamed Russia the loudest are the ones that had taken the largest amounts of money from AIPAC. Israel is by far the larger threat to us elections.

Fascists globally, are the threat, regardless of the government they’ve commandeered.
Accusing others of falling for propaganda while denying that trump is a russian assett is very funny.
That’s like denying that israel is committing genocide while israelis very openly call for genocide.

How could Russia trick American billionaires into supporting a candidate that undermines their global ambitions?
The US billionaires can push for an impeachment at any time. Trump must be their candidate.
How could Russia trick American billionaires into supporting a candidate that undermines their global ambitions?
Simple, by propaganda. Or did you think billionaires were immune? I’d say they are even more vulnerable because they surround themselves with yes men that agree with anything they say. Sprinkle that with a ton of blackmail and you got yourself a russian asset.
May even use their greed for profit against them, whether it is from the war industry, exotic metals, or plain old deals. They will get their share and destroy democracy if it is in the way.
Maybe a dozen fall for his charm but his gaudy style can’t convince the billionaires like it convinces the masses.
American workers can’t unionize at Starbucks. That’s one billionaire. Putin can’t have managed to outwit all 1,000 billionaires.
Nothing that Putin can offer can compensate American billionaires for losing hegemonial power.
American billionaires destroy democracy. But it is for them, not Putin.
Oh, so McCheetoh has no connections to Russia? And Russia clearly has not directly benefited from his actions?
Don’t get me wrong, AIPAC can burn in the deepest layers of hell; but pretending Russia is harmless is just beyond the pale.
A few 100 memes on Facebook didn’t have any impact on elections. Russia didn’t fund TV ads or campaign for him. The Russia hysteria coming from oligarchs is to give you a Boogeyman so they can be your savior

Nobody said which threat was larger. But it is absolutely stupid to have such a one-track mind when it comes to danger. Have a little nuance.
Inside the US, there’s a pretty substantial amount of pro-Russia propaganda. For years the NRA was a dominant force in politics and it was completely compromised by Russia. The current US president is a Russian asset. Etc etc.
Israel is by far the larger threat to us elections
I’m not sure about “by far”, but it doesn’t really matter. Two things can be true at the same time. Israel and Russia are both significant threats to the US, both have obtained substantial control over US politicians, and both are threats to their neighbors.
And also there’s overlap because Israel and Russia are partially aligned. (See for example how reluctant Israel has been to offer any support to Ukraine.)
Israel doesn’t support Ukraine because of the war going in Ukraine is in the interest of the US.
Russia isn’t “harmless” if we’re having a conversation about capitalist incentives and imperialist interest and how they result in global conflicts were the working class suffer the consequences.
But if you hear mainstream media start to cry “but Russia” you should see that as a HUGE red flag.
There is no comparing “Russian Influence” to the extension of US imperialism that is the Israeli colonial project. That’s ridiculous.
I think the only silly thing we do is pretend that Israel is “controlling America”. No, Israel does the the absolute worst things in the interest of American Imperialism; that even the American oligarchs want to distance themselves from.

NATO and the USA have lost the Hybrid War launched by Russia in March 2013.
The CIA has unlimited budget, that installed nazis in Georgia (instigated separatist movement within weeks) 2008 and Ukraine (smartly avoided immediate Russian liberation of Donbas seperatism to delay with peace talks) 2014. The hybrid war accusation against Russia is projection for the high intensity propaganda (hybrid war) on the west to support Russophobia.
Western divisiveness is mostly a function of western wackos. Be angry at the wackos without making you try to hate Russia instead of the wackos.

Think for a moment before you respond. Your incapability to reason critically about this topic makes your argument look weak even though I’m fucking agreeing with you.
It is an absolute winning electoral strategy to invalidate the treasonous candidacy of any demonic zionazi warmongering genocidal subhuman piece of shit, with amplification that the more money they raise the more invalid their candidacy.
Platform shouldn’t be wealth taxes, it should be the financial zeroing out of any candidate and financers of zionist supremacist rule over America.
We’re all that wrestler with sunglasses movie from the 80s. The lizard people having constitutional protections to rule over us is the moral question of that movie.
I’m sure Russia is interfering, too. Even while they are short of money, they know that every cent spent to buy an American politician is worth a dollar in return. And for some cases, they just use some compromat, so they are even cheaper.
I have this crazy idea that being sure of something would mean there’s proof.
But apparently even the most batshit crazy conspiracy theory level statement is seen as a fact in the case of Russia.
Like the president from a country supporting a country with weapons, intel, money and whatever is a tool for the country he’s fighting against trough proxy, sanctioning, pirating ships from and committing terrorism against.I’m sure Russia is interfering too
That might be the case but at this point it’s speculation. We have undeniable definitive proof of Israel interference
Far from speculative and any suggestion otherwise isn’t in good-faith.
lol, we had undeniable evidence russia was interfering too
the powers that be simply don’t/didnt care either way as long as their checks keep clearing. $ is the only thing sacred in the US

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard/seen it but never took the time to figure out what it meant.
Yeah that explanation makes sense.
Authoritarian communism, is , from my perspective, not genuine communism.
Isn’t a core principle of communism (as the term itself implies) a communal society. Which would be where each citizen has more control over legislation and government actions. ?
No single leader would be needed. And would always cause a failure of the system.
A rotation of elected counselors would be optimal.
Authoritarianism only leads to fascism. Doesn’t matter what the intention is behind implementation. It will inevitably lead to fascism.
Many Democratic presidents who gave themselves more power, paved the way for the position we are in right now.
Authoritarian communism, is , from my perspective, not genuine communism.
Isn’t a core principle of communism (as the term itself implies) a communal society.
“Communism” is a moneyless, classless, stateless society. But while communists see this as an end goal, many don’t believe it’s possible to go directly to that. Colloquially, the term “communism” is sometimes used to describe a society in which communists hold power, even if it has not reached that ideal, i.e. “Communist China,” although the more acurate term for that is “Actually Existing Socialism” or AES.
Frederick Engles argues for the necessity of authority in “On Authority:”
All Socialists are agreed that the political state, and with it political authority, will disappear as a result of the coming social revolution, that is, that public functions will lose their political character and will be transformed into the simple administrative functions of watching over the true interests of society. But the anti-authoritarians demand that the political state be abolished at one stroke, even before the social conditions that gave birth to it have been destroyed. They demand that the first act of the social revolution shall be the abolition of authority. Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon — authoritarian means, if such there be at all; and if the victorious party does not want to have fought in vain, it must maintain this rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionists. Would the Paris Commune have lasted a single day if it had not made use of this authority of the armed people against the bourgeois? Should we not, on the contrary, reproach it for not having used it freely enough?
If we’re at the point of saying that Marx and Engles weren’t “genuine” communists, maybe it would be better to just chose another word for what you’re describing, because most self-described communists around the world are Marxist-Leninists, or “tankies.”
No single leader would be needed. And would always cause a failure of the system.
A rotation of elected counselors would be optimal.
Both the US and China (as examples) already have “a rotation of elected counselors,” do they not? Both have a congress of elected representatives which represent the highest legal authority. Or do the president/general secretary count as “a single leader?”
I don’t know about China but the U.S does not have term limits for Congress. So. No. It does not have a rotation.
And because of Citizens United, and Israel, “elected officials by the people” might be a subjective interpretation of our current politicians.
Term limits = limit corruption. That’s something that’s a big problem with our justices as well.
Also , most leftist, who support communism, consider communism to still involve money being exchanged.
I don’t think Marx advocated for no money to exist or be exchanged.
We can’t do trade and barter for everything.
It sounds like your interpretation of communism is a hippie commune or co-ops. Not really the same thing.
Hippie communes can only work at a small scale. Same for co-ops.

They both seem like real problems though don’t they? Also the links between Russia and Israel are pretty strong…
It’s absolutely both.
Actually, Russia is interfering with the US elections, it’s called Donald Trump.
2 things can be true at the same time. I would not expect someone like op to be able to realize this though.
Surely when there is such an outrageous way to interfere in a country’s elections, some foreign actors will definitely try to take advantage of it (and thank US for making their job to easier). To put another way, with such mechanisms in place, only way foreign powers does not try to influence elections is if foreign countries don’t care about the elections in US (and we know better).
Russia and china would rely on half truths and propaganda to do it. Israeli lobby simoly pay hundred of millions to politicians to influence elections. It is not the same
Information is as powerful as money. I am guessing you can probably blackmail some politicians into submission by threatening to release to the world, say, their pedophilic affairs.
Trump would have still supported Israel even without those files.
