What on Earth is going on in the world today? It's gone mad

[Fiero425]

I think the so called “far right” are the same people formerly called centrist. The left have behaved like a shopping trolley with 3 wheels for so long that common sense gets mistaken for extremism…

You tell us no lie! The "far right" has demonized "common sense" since the '80's really! I got cable to watch CNN from it's inception! The extremes slowly became the norm as I watched w/ facination! Republicans started acting w/ a "birth right" to the Presidency after being in the woods during the Nixon embarrassment & Carter tenure! They punished the man into his grave making him out to be nothing more than a peanut farmer & hillbilly even though he technically was a nuclear physicist! He was openly undermined during the Iran hostage crisis! They normally shout to/from the roof-tops that "foreign affairs" shouldn't be politicized! Of course that rule dissolved when out of power! They did the same to Clinton; trying to run the man out of office from day one! It didn't matter that he was a conservative himself & the country thrived under his leadership! They became the party of no regardless of facts, reason, & even Nationalism! Over decades I've seen so called conservatives more than double the Nat'l Debt thru their collective dementia of economics! It's only gotten worse as Obama-care is saving The Nation in so many ways, but Republicans are still nipping at the heels of it even though their own constituients benefit from it as much or more than any! Remember "red states" get back more than they actually send to the Fed even though you hear BS from the right how irresponsible blue state gov'ts are! They couldn't sink low enuf as all sacred cows were slaughtered 20 yrs' ago! All politicians are openly using profanity to get their message across & to sink in! Now being led by a "mad mad," there is "no shame" w/ the "far right!" They defend the indefensible! As a Senior, I just SMH as we willfully allow the degradation of our Democracy! The "far right" just doesn't GAF & they prove it everyday Trump's polls are above 30%! End Rant!

I think you’ve misunderstood what I wrote: to the insane, sanity looks like madness. All the deranged modish notions of the left make political moderates look like they’re the radicals…

Holy shit, some of you know absolutely nothing about Israel, its history, Zionism, what it stands for, and the atrocities it's committed throughout the years. Absolutely nothing. This is a complete waste of time. To put what's happening on Netanyahu rather than Zionist ideology tells me how clueless this is. Maybe your "business partners" could send a few TikTok videos your way cause god forbid you read a fucking book, or actually listen to the news. Israeli Defense Minister and convicted war criminal Yoav Gallant himself admitted to the Hannibal Directive on October 7.

Saying "yeah but" in response to a fucking genocide tells me all I need to know about your humanity. Israel had killed over 300 Palestinian civilians in Gaza in 2023 prior to October 7. Zero talk of "terrorism" because the perpetrators were wearing military uniforms and not kufiyahs and fake Adidas sweaters. Do you guys have any idea how Israel handles Gaza and the West Bank way before October 7? Do you have even the slightest curiosity or is it OK as long as brown people are the ones dying?

Yes, I'm sure it's Putin's interest the administration has at heart, not Israel, despite all the evidence.



Thank god for the United States helping out all the oppressed Irani women by blowing up their children to pieces.



Something "the lesser of the two evils" would say, for sure.



The "lesser of the two evils" at work again.



Putin's interests at heart again...



No shouts of terrorism here as Graham neglected to yell "Allahu Akbar"



Lesser of the two evils...



Western democracy at work...



"Worth it" as per a tennisfrontier user here.



Shocker...


Thank god the West is fighting those evil terrorists...



Religion of peace...



So happy Iran will be able to go back to the pre-Islamic revolution days...



Judeo-Christian values at work...



Hmmm, I wonder who could it be?



This is of course justified because of October 7.



Religion of peace again.
