Or even better, the position of president or prime minister should have little power.

- Comment on Chad NATO 3 days ago:
Every criticism of the military industrial complex must be a muskow envoy.
By all means, criticize the military industrial complex away. But that’s American. Not NATO procurement of French and Swedish and German military equipment. As your aforementioned article shows, they’re quite good at rooting out that kind of corruption.
But if you’re criticizing NATO and your criticism isn’t based in reality or doesn’t make sense? Yeah my bets are on either Russia or China being behind that one.
You want us yuropeans to die for your goddamn war.
What war? NATO isn’t at war. But if you’re in Europe, sooner or later, you’re going to be fighting Russia. They’re not going to stop at Donbass.
You think we forgot what happened when the said Russians got sick of dying for the tsar so you guys quit fighting Germany and attacked them instead? Or that time when you Yanks sent them Yeltsin and then the eastern block got destabilized to this day?
You seem to have forgotten halfway through writing your comment that I am Canadian, not American. Then for some reason you repeated some more Russian propaganda about America “sending them Yeltsin” and being entirely to blame for a destabilized Eastern Europe.
You have just as much blood on your stupid hands
You can’t even remember what country I’m from. You’re just rambling random eastern propaganda like a drunk person.
- Comment on Chad NATO 3 days ago:
Linking an article with a sentence after it implies the article has something to do with the sentence. I’m sorry I haven’t heard all the latest propaganda. But maybe the reason you keep resorting to childish insults is because you know you don’t have an argumentative leg to stand on?
- Comment on Chad NATO 3 days ago:
That article doesn’t mention Von Der Leyen, let alone any apartment or Belgian police, and it’s an article about NATO cracking down on corruption, not letting it happen. And Von Der Leyen is not the leader of NATO, she is the leader of the European Commission.
Russia and China have spent the past few decades infiltrating leftist groups and spreading their unrelated propaganda in them. “Hey guys, it’s me, your fellow Marxist. Like you, I also want to bring power to the people and end capitalism, but you know what we need to end first? NATO.”
- Comment on Chad NATO 3 days ago:
So then lobby your government to buy Mirage or Viggen jets instead of whining about the existence of NATO and repeating Russian and Chinese propaganda.
What country did you move to that is so much better than Canada?
- Comment on Chad NATO 3 days ago:
The point is that “NATO” is an umbrella term for “US’s interests” or “US military”.
Well if we’re just misusing words and making things up, shit, why not say “DPRK” is an umbrella term for “US’s interests”?
I think you might need to engage in some self-reflection and consider whether you may have been influenced by Russian/Chinese propaganda. There is no rational reason to have a problem with the existence of NATO.

Afghanistan was a NATO Article 5 mission. We didn’t stick around a minute after the NATO mission was over.
- Comment on Chad NATO 3 days ago:
NATO isn’t corrupting anyone. And I’m Canadian, my grandma’s doing alright.
- Comment on Chad NATO 3 days ago:
No they don’t. Stop repeating propaganda.
- Comment on Chad NATO 3 days ago:
But that’s not true. Why do you guys repeat such propaganda without question? Countless nations have messed with the US’s economic interests throughout history, how many times has NATO gotten involved?
- Comment on Chad NATO 4 days ago:
No, they are an alliance for defense. Nothing peaceful about it, they will fuck you up with military force if you mess with any one of their member states.
- Comment on Chad NATO 4 days ago:
NATO doesn’t really do much other than scare Russia and China. There were a couple of debatable interventions in Europe, and the US did demand everyone join them in Afghanistan, but not Iraq, for example. NATO doesn’t just automatically go where America goes. They have actual rules that have to be cited, like Article 5.
- Comment on North Korea sent me abroad to be a secret IT worker. My wages funded the regime 6 days ago:
I guess because Russia and China, the countries they worked in, think Westerners can code better than North Koreans?
I don’t know if I’d call it a scam so much as slavery.

an anti-n korea org
No, an organization that advocates for North Korean human rights. That’s a pro-north korea org.
You gonna tell me that people who have a problem with Pol Pot are “Anti-Cambodian”, Mr “.ml”?
- Comment on North Korea sent me abroad to be a secret IT worker. My wages funded the regime 6 days ago:
The reason China spreads so much propaganda about North Korea actually being totally normal and everything bad you hear about it actually being CIA propaganda lies/because of western sanctions, is because they don’t want to admit any responsibility for being the largest trading partner to a despotic authoritarian regime.
That’s why you only see this kind of weird denialism around North Korea, and not the other places with shitty leaders and backwards authoritarian laws.
You are repeating Chinese propaganda. You need to understand North Korea isn’t socialist. China isn’t socialist. And just because America, a country that has done a lot of anti-socialist shitty things, says that North Korea is run by a despot, doesn’t mean they’re wrong. North Korea is run by a despot. Just because people have said things about North Korea that have been proven wrong, doesn’t mean everything ever said about North Korea is wrong.
- Comment on Activist Who Helped Film “No Other Land” Shot and Killed by Israeli Settler 1 week ago:
I feel like they should stop calling them “settlers”. “Settler” implies the little villagers in Civ or Catan, pioneering untamed lands.
These people are invaders. They’re invading someone else’s land. I don’t know where this “settler” word came from but it doesn’t make sense to me and I don’t like it.

- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but good luck holding a sign that says “Don’t shop here, they hire immigrants”.
- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 4 weeks ago:
Lobby the government to stop doing that. In the meantime, teach them their rights, how to unionize, help them with food security and finding a place to live, so that they aren’t in such a precarious position that makes exploitation so easy.
- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 4 weeks ago:
The problem is when immigrants from countries with lower labour standards and poorer conditions are effectively used as “scabs”, to suppress wage growth and unionization. And I fear the capitalists who benefit from this are pushing the “you just hate immigrants” narrative to protect it.

When my brother was half-awake after raising a baby, he was at the liquor store with his friend to buy a bottle of wine, and the guy at the counter asked “…your ID?” and he heard “Are you ready?” so he just said “Ready for what?” “Your ID!” “Yes I am ready! Let’s go!”
Other guy had to step in and say “he’s very tired, just had a baby”.
