- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 4 weeks ago:
Sadly true. We actively searched for alternatives when we realised other channels were getting too manipulative and full of hate. Those who are left haven’t even realised it.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 4 weeks ago:
Isolationism and tribalism.
Make your people believe the rest of the world are against them and they’ll look to you for leadership. It’s not just the US - Europe and the UK have also had a rise in jingoism, fuelled by inflated reports of immigrants.
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund 2 months ago:
They’re being shaken down. Same as Mark Zuckerberg being summoned to a meeting with Trump and the next day paying $1m to the same fund.
I’m betting these meetings went something like, “You don’t want a president as an enemy, do you? Cough up.”
And don’t think of it as a tax on the rich - it’s not going towards the benefit of the American people. It’s extortion.
