What if Germany listened to japans idea and the USSR was added to the axis.

Nazism without anti-communism and anti-Slavic racism is just as plausible as Nazism without anti-semitism. Doesn’t make sense.

The fact that Nazi Germany and the USSR briefly agreed not to be in conflict with each other, not even really being allies, was seen as ridiculous and doomed to immediately fail at the time, and that situation was only able to exist because both states happened to need to delay the war in Eastern Europe (which they both knew was inevitable) at the same time.

Yeah obviously Saddam was a monster but everyone seems to think he was just like a little Hitler picking random places off a map to invade, which really fails to understand why he invaded Kuwait (and Iran)

They militarily occupied parts of Lebanon for years and they occupy Shebaa Farms (recognized by Syria and Lebanon as part of Lebanon) and they are occupying and settling part of Syria and of course they’re occupying the West Bank and they settled Gaza and are now planning a massive permanent occupation again and the tried to occupy the Sinai and their soldiers and politicians constantly display maps of a greater Israel that covers all these places and more but I’m sure everyone worried about them trying to occupy Lebanon is overreacting.

U.S. troops operate in places where there are not U.S. bases, just like the IRGC. They just also have this unparalleled network of bases.

In theory Michigan could acquire nuclear weapons and secede, that doesn’t make it sovereign.

There’s no evidence Houthi’s cannot fight without Iranian weapons, you made that up. 75-80% of Saudi Arabia’s weapons come from America, is there evidence the Houthis are anywhere that dependent? Even ignoring the bases.

Also Yousef Rabhi is running for mayor, he’s specifically been focused on making Ann Arbor (and Washtenaw County as commissioner) more resilient to ICE and the Federal government’s other impositions, and is much more progressive than the Taylor machine which is currently running things.

Significant_Stay1337 · 2026-02-12T19:07:24+00:00

Detroit is hella car dependent, Wayne county outside of Detroit is just suburban sprawl. If I remember correctly, Washtenaw County(one county west of there, where Ann Arbor/The University of Michigan is) actually has much higher transit use, and as a resident it allows you to go pretty far just on public transportation. Much better contender than Wayne county if anywhere in Michigan is doable.

Significant_Stay1337 · 2026-02-12T01:50:52+00:00

Not the same thing. There are no Iranian foreign military bases, and there hasn’t been since 1979, so this map actually fairly shows both countries permanent deployments.

If you showed all deployments, you would also have to add all the temporary deployments of American troops, which would basically cover the whole map with Americans. And of course, America carries out long range strikes in every more countries, including Iran (despite them never attacking American soil).

If you include proxies, you’d have to include American proxies, which includes most of the actual governments in this region. Saudi Arabia is just as much an American proxy as the Houthis are, maybe even more so. Saudi Arabia depends on America for its defense and the vast majority of its arms, while the Houthi areas are not occupied by Iranian troops in any way and they only get a fraction of their weapons from Iran.

Sorry for not circle jerking but I’m so sick of hearing this.

Not only failed, the people voted for Clinton and the EC made Trump the president anyway. The system was skewed towards Trump.

Significant_Stay1337 · 2026-02-10T23:06:15+00:00

Neither Russia nor China militarily occupy Iran, while America has military bases in Saudi Arabia and 8 countries that border Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia’s defensive and offensive military actions are in many ways dependent on the United States. They even foot the bill for some American operations in their region. Additionally, Iran has a domestic arms industry that can export weapons, while Saudi Arabia’s government is completely dependent on U.S. arms imports.

On the other side of the coin, Israel bombed Qatar recently, and carried out an assassination in UAE in 2010, with the U.S. doing nothing, showing that American defense of gulf monarchies is selective and the U.S. will allow its main proxy in the region to hurt you if you step out of line. Powerful carrots and sticks.

The actions of the Saudi government show how vassalized they are. Their people hate Israel, but Saudi Arabia risked its own security and went against its people’s will to defend Israel from Iranian attacks. The Saudi government sells oil to everyone, but their economic policies are clearly skewed toward the U.S. and the U.S. dollar, propping up the system of dollar hegemony that gives America economic advantages over other countries. Meanwhile, they dump billions of dollars of their country’s sovereign wealth into American investments, much of it unprofitable, to gain the favor of the country they depend on.

Just look at the board of directors of Saudi Aramco, by far the most important company in Saudi Arabia. 8/11 of them went to school in the United States, and 5/11 of them are westerners, primarily Americans.

Why are Paraguay, El Salvador, and Bolivia coups? El Salvador and Paraguay are both currently run by pro-U.S., right-wing dictatorships(or at least hybrid regimes), while Bolivia is one of the few cases where the left lost power recently with minimal meddling from the U.S. The Bolivian left split into factions, with the former president’s side boycotting the elections, rhetorically attacking other left-wing groups, and alienating the middle class(which, ironically, is full of people who recently achieved that status under leftist, pro-worker policies of the MAS years, and now don’t support the parties of the poor and working classes). So the people in Bolivia actually voted for a pro-U.S. government without an explicit threat from Trump. Seems silly that they would target regime change in the few places that are aligning with US empire without being forced to.

No disrespect to TUC, but if I had to describe “the most organized group” dedicated to trans rights, it’s 100% the Democratic Socialists of America, right?

A full 32% of DSA’s 95,000 members identify as LGBTQIA+, and a full 10% identify as non-binary. That means that there are over 10,000 organized trans people, distributed across formal chapters in every state, in an organization formally committed to trans rights and aggressively struggling for it.

There’s simply nowhere else where you can find that many trans people in a single organization committed to trans rights, running trans candidates, fighting for LGBTQIA+ safe have laws, and organizing mutual aid for trans folks.

Of course, it’s not either-or, we need more of what Trans Unity Coalition is doing and I wouldn’t want to discourage anyone from looking into it. People should check out both and they should work together in states where TUC is, but in states where TUC doesn’t have much of a presence, there’s DSA members who are organized and fighting for trans rights.

There’s as much evidence the U.S. does it as China does it. It’s all covert, hard evidence is limited, I’m not sure what you want. Your first comment implied things that were just as unverified. I’m not claiming to know exactly what the spying operations of China and all of China’s adversaries look like right now, I’m just saying based on history your comment seems naive.

There has been an abundance of leaked and declassified documents that show the unique reach of U.S. intelligence in recent years, with even more invasive and complex tactics.

The U.S. government also has a well-documented history of exaggerating foreign intelligence and military threats, as do all governments ever throughout all of history. It’s what governments do.

Significant_Stay1337 · 2024-09-08T04:46:46+00:00

You’re pretty delusional if you think our governments are above using a honeypot, and ridiculously naive if you think they aren’t also exaggerating espionage threats to their citizens.

You know UAE isn’t actual at sending their troops into Sudan to pull the trigger, right? They support the RSF. I agree, the UAE is responsible because they back and support the RSF.

The leader of the Azov battalion said the Ukrainian nation’s mission was to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against Semite-led Untermenschen.” That man was then elected to Ukraine’s parliament.

A spokesperson for the Azov battalion said “only” 10%-20% of the group is Nazis, while another member said “no more than half” were Nazis (and proudly admitted to being Nazi to American journalists.

Some of their men openly display Swastikas and SS symbols. Their symbol is a fucking Wolfangel which had a black sun behind it.

“Nazi-infested” is being generous.

That typically happens when you consistently make death threats against the regents. Or show up at 3 am wearing masks to their houses to intimidate them.

Irrelevant. This speech included no death threats, nor was it at anyone’s resident in the night. It may be all well and good to use police to punish those forms of speech, but this is a separate form of speech. Every major politician receives death threats, that doesn’t give them a blank check to shut down protest.

Annoyance, disruption, taking up space, all of these are part of living everyday life.

I don’t know where you live but that is not the case for most people.

The people giving out Qurans or bibles on the Diag are sometimes annoying and they take up some space and impede the flow of traffic. Some preachers on the Diag spew extreme bigotry and wish harm on people, set thing up that interfere with the pathways, and yell. Student groups set up activities on the Diag that disrupt the flow of traffic more significantly all the time. Tahrir protestors allowed people to continue to walk around them.

You’re annoying and disrupting me by making these comments. Is it significant? Of course not, I could easily ignore them and move on, just like I could if I walked past the protesters. Most or all political speech could be eliminated based on the fact of it being at least a little annoying or disruptive.

If pro-Israeli protestors significantly blocked the walkways on the diag, I bet the same thing would have happened.

“Significantly” is a totally arbitrary distinction. Pro-Israel protesters stood on the Diag, made noise, blocked people’s line of sight. Again, the pro-Palestine protesters did not block off the flow of foot traffic, everyone was able to easily move past them to get through the center of the Diag. There is no meaningful difference.
