This is true enough, but I’m a lifelong liberal here who has just had the same experience, but on the left. Jews are the great unifiers. Everyone can find something to hate about us.

When Donald Trump Razed the Bonwit Teller Building, He Promised the Met Its Art Deco Friezes. A New Book Details How He Pulverized Them Instead | Artnet News Read an excerpt from the book 'Art and Crime: The Fight Against Looters, Forgers, and Fraudsters in the High-Stakes Art World.'

It is a repeat of the destruction of the Bonwit Teller building in NY. He promised he wouldn’t demolish it, but did it anyway. Stone reliefs that the Met wanted because of their historical significance were destroyed. This is who he’s always been.

Even Hamas, one of the combatants, claims 67,000. And that’s without accounting for any battle casualties.

Look who’s talking. I mean, you’re a patriarchy destroyer aren’t you? Why is it still standing?

You mean Stein wasn’t destroying the patriarchy? What a disappointment.

You are not a serious person. You’re throwing words around because they sound good, but “patriarchy destroyer” is so over the top that you’re rendered ridiculous.

Well, seeing as how you’re a “patriarchy destroyer”, we should be all set.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

The replies to this post rebut it over and over again.

Nothing so dramatic. Just a garden variety fool.

Not as humiliating as admitting to being a Marxist Leninist in 2025, though.

Holy shit. You’re “queer” too. A Marxist Leninist queer who is anti Tibet. Amazing.
Were you built in a lab for the sheer purpose of amusing me?

Marxist Leninist transcends the boundaries of the usual self parody. Shilling for China on the question of who is wrong in Tibet attains a kind of peak expression of clueless leftist incoherence that leaves me full of rapt admiration.
I shall treasure this post for a long time.

As long as we’re adding allies to our list of evils, I’m sure you’ll agree that China is therefore accountable for Hezbollah helping Assad kill 600K Syrians and the Houthis killing 300K Yemenis, right?

Listen, I’m sure you’re super psyched about your freshman polisci class, but your geopolitical acumen is not something I’d flex about if I were you, Japan Guy.

For sure. But it’s interesting to watch how some people are so desperate to defend other countries of, say, genocide, if their ideological priors demand it. And if you have to invent some US subjugation of Japanese culture to do it, well, you just roll up those sleeves and get to it.

Dude, they’re all stupid. Trumps camps are a month old, not decades old. Deportations under Obama and Biden were what any country would do, Gaza is not Americas doing, and the rest of it is similarly ridiculous. This desperate defense of China is just so weird I don’t even know what to do with it.

But also “takeover”? JFC.

Cherry picking? That is some next level projection. But it is interesting to see how many people really care about genocide if the genocider is someone they feel they need to defend ideologically.

Being pro China’s treatment of Tibet is an interesting flex. Good for you for having the guts to try it. Not everyone would.

If you think “the cultural takeover of Japan” (whatever the fuck that is) is some kind of human rights catastrophe on a par with Tibet, then I’m afraid even a book won’t help you.

Yawn.

Even the Trump Administration hasn’t yet approached the grotesque cruelties of China re: the Uighurs and Tibet.

This post is a marvel, having within it the essence of what makes the left so annoying and absurd: laziness, performative outrage, misdirected anger, and utter pointlessness.
Well done.

China: Unrelenting Crimes Against Humanity Targeting Uyghurs Chinese President Xi Jinping’s pronouncement that China intends to maintain its counterterrorism policies in the northwestern Xinjiang region indicates continuing crimes against humanity there.

Yeah they’re dreamy

Plenty of people here like Tom who actually know what they’re talking about and don’t describe themselves, laughably, as “Marxist-Leninist”.
Thanks, though.

It’s “Marxist Leninists” who are not wanted here.

I think this of him as well, and don’t see it expressed that often. He’s a very good performer and he’s telling people what they want to hear. That’s not leadership, but it is a winning formula for gaining fans, which in modern US culture is how you win elections.

I didn’t say it had relevance about voting for a candidate. Read better. I said it meant you were hypocrites. You and your friends supposedly so worried about offending anyone are actually fine with offending people you don’t like.
