I've heard Israel is cozying up to some far right wing types throughout the world.

If the American public had no place in government decisions then there would be no talk of sanctions and real politik would proceed in at least a relatively consistent manner. But people who claim to care while not actually caring are probably about to tank the economy of people they definitely don't care about while American policy just a week ago implied the exact opposite position (a position which was presumably also influenced or at least justified by public opinion of not wanting to be involved in more Middle Eastern wars).

Democracy is stupid.
well, I think the idea if restraint in warfare actually relies more on international opinion than the domestic opinion of Americans. It's easy to rally a single nation behind a war, compared to justifying war crimes that benefit your nation at the expense of others to an international body like the UN.

when I said Nazi I was referring to the actual third Reich. Not just any right wing element that liberals will label Nazi for knee jerk reasons.

Popeyes 'chicken war' sparks chaos, employee frustration: 'Somebody called me Mr. Slowa--'

Quote:
Somebody called me Mr. Slowa--. I’m not stupid. I heard it,” the employee said to someone off-camera, looking very upset.

The bullying did not end there, however. One Popeyes employee claimed to Business Insider that he worked an 11-hour shift and made 600 sandwiches in one day.

"I was working like a slave in the back prepping the buns with pickles and the spicy mayo," said Carlos, an 18-year-old Popeyes crew member in California.

"Everyone wanted to quit so bad because it was that bad," Carlos added. "We have never seen it get this insanely busy."

According to data from analytics platform, Placer.ai, traffic to Popeyes skyrocketed on August 20 and 21 – rising 67.6 percent and 103.3 percent over the same dates in 2018.

I mean international opinion and domestic American opinions are equally as stupid and useless and cause democracy to be stupid and useless. When you see, read, or hear analysis of government policy it often interweaves purely pragmatic government decisions and government decisions based on public opinion as if one does not influence the other in nonsensical and schizophrenic ways because modern commentators are generally pro-democracy and pointing out that this spiral of nonsense is in fact nonsense would be admitting an existential problem with democracy.

Well in Western nations the far right tend to be anti-Semitic regardless of whether it's logical for them to be.

That’s the one thing the far right and the far left and moderates all agree on. Israel shouldn’t do what it has to do to exist. If this whole **** that they should sit idly by while Hamas & Hezbollah or whoever blow up their **** and mass murder them week after week isn’t antisemitism then nothing is.

That’s right. I hate America and Islam.

Presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) did not hold back Friday when responding to 2016 nominee Hilary Clinton's suggestion that she is the "favorite of the Russians" for 2020, excoriating the former secretary of State as "the queen of warmongers" and "personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party."
Hillary jelly. I think Bill did some Gabby dickin
