The Donald vs Big Tech

Granted, the socialist countries in the east of Europe, in exchange for the lack of liberty, gave their citizens a gaff and a job (Dubliners might find the former very enticing indeed!).It's a simplistic analysis, but my kids mother is Polish and in her early 40s, reckoned it was alright. Most of my serb buddies reckon Yugoslavia's '3rd way' wasn't that bad either. A Romanian bit of fanny I used to give the high hard one to said, in fact, Romania is worse now in terms of general happiness and standard of living than under Ceaucescu. Many of us would have been curious about it, sympathetic even. None of them were communist though, nor was the Soviet Union. Not even close. They were good countries to be lazy and poor in, and that's not a slight on the inhabitants of those countries. No innovation, stagnation, widespread apathy...No thanks. Imagine if Marxism proper was about!? Nein mein öberstürmführer!

I'm in no way any sort of Trump supporter for the simple reason that I don't give a fuck, but when he is held up against what opposes him I can see why people would support him. The fucking condition of the alternative is enough to make me feel sick. Yeah a lot of it is down to conflation but fuck this PC shit has to stop.

Edit: yeah says me while conflating opposition to Trump with the general PC fuckfest that the world has become

Ah now, "indistinguishable from Nazi rhetoric" is a bit of a stretch to be fair. I wouldn't have found anything racist in that.

You're as desperate as a $5 crack whore...

Absolutely ludicrous and vacuous claim, is what it is. I'm really having one of those days where I couldn't possibly be any angrier with the stupidity of what is nominally "my own team".

Well, this I don't really care about tbh, it just happens to have been posted on a day I'm having to listen to a lot of stupid shit from people who should know a lot better.

Come on, yer messin' now.

It's bullshit, just like the alleged calling white nationalists 'fine people'. Right after he said there were fine people on both sides, he said 'and I'm not talking about all the Nazis and white nationalists '. But sure didn't they cut that part out, didn't fit the auld narrative.

He brokered peace between the Jews and two previously sworn enemies. Peace prize stuff if you ask me. They would have given Obama two if he had done it.

Here is an anti Trump flavoured article/book review I was just reading which likens following him to following Hitler.

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/it-can-happen-here?

Strangely enough though, everything described in the article sounds like what the BLM and LGBetc movements and indeed the covid danger proponents and lots of anti Trump movements are doing. A bit of an own goal as I interpret it, but does anyone else here see what I'm getting at?
