The same place where Darth Meteos got his history degree: in the dumpster behind Walmart. We're talking about a guy that quotes himself in his own signature, I wouldn't be surprised if he also thinks that plasma in blood refers to the state of matter.
According to his omniscient mind, fascism isn't radical socialism because french fries aren't french (and judging by that same logic, he probably believes the United States of America is in Asia). That's the level of knowledge this guy works with.

My reply got deleted even though it had nothing to do with any private PM's. I'll try again. Do you have any links to books or reading material that goes over what socialism, fascism and communism are, who created them, etc ... ? I was able to find this video after a quick search as I've seen it a while ago and it goes over the basics of fascism, but I'd really like to learn more about the subjects. Oh, please don't link to any Wikipedia pages as they change too often for my liking.

Fascism and Nazism are far-right authoritarian ideologies, by definition, so I'm not sure what you all are trying to accomplish.
Lacius, you dumbass
When Hitler left the Nazis in 1921 for allying with a socialism party, it was because he loved socialism too much
When he made big anti-socialism rallying cries in 1923 and 1926, it was actually reverse psychology
When he had a debate with a socialist Nazi in 1930, stressing the incompatibility of socialism with his vision for Germany, it was actually a 10,000IQ move to make the opposite occur
When Hitler banned unions and stamped down on worker's rights, he was really raising them up for the glory of the fatherland

Some would argue that it's a feature, and that it's irrational to get your information on political systems anywhere else.
ah yes
good faith actors frequently attempt to reduce the number of sources you consume mhm

I have a really good one.
Ur-Fascism by Umberto Eco is widely considered to be a definitive work by political scientists in defining and identifying fascism. It outlines 14 points that typically exist in many fascist ideologies. Umberto Eco grew up in fascistic Italy, and it is a widely lauded work.

EDIT: It is included in his book, How to Spot a Fascist. It's required reading, I feel, for understanding why fascism is so ever present and so difficult to defeat.

I'm not sure if American educational systems require degrees to teach, at large. My understanding is that primary education is undervalued as a career, and the system is desperate for "educators". I find it suspect that the role of someone being a teacher should be even mentioned here, on a political thread.
Ignoring the aspersions on my learnedness, it was mentioned because I thought it was funny some random from the street is trying to tell a guy who studies this shit for a living what the real truth about history is. You remember this, of course, because you're not an idiot, you're just pretending to be one to reinforce your attempt to control the narrative.

Comical.

An egomaniac who would advocate lying to students to undermine their confidence is using their status as a history teacher to leverage some imagined authority on a political forum over the rest of the ignorant plebs. I'm simply amazed.

Kids above, this is topic about Joe Biden, it's time to stop off-topic arguments and stay on TOPIC!

This week the US blocked UN Security Counsel statement 3 times in a row! Biden helped bought time for Israel more days of pure killing and bombing of Palestine civilians. and USA prior the conflict sold 750 Million weapon to Israel and most of them are used in offensive actions against Gaza.

It's crystal clear that Biden give a shit about Innocent Palestinian women and children's lives compared to 750 Million dollar weapon deal, because who needs those deadly weapons if war doesn't escalate?

As repulsive as the attacks on the Palestinians are, the United States will probably be one of the last to drop support for Israel. It's not like civilians casualties matter to us, the genocide in Yemen proves that.

c'mon man, trump uttered a falsehood once every sentence
clearly this is down to a bad memory
i cant find bitmasters post from what you replied too but do you seriously want "trigger happy" trump to have them i feared that he would shoot his mouth the wrong way and we'd be all dead by now luckly that didn't happen but i applaud biden for calling out the isreal/Palistine war going on the should (the US) cut ties with Isreal and sanction them or is the US too deep rooted to hate all muslims not all are bad though it did feed off my anger when i was one (long story)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Innocent, rofl? Innocent of what exactly?
dude it's pure genocide it's been going on far longer than this it basicly the holocaust 2.0 but the roles are reversed

He is just buying time, because he is going to have to pick a side. Last tuesday he said all the violence would soon come to an end, it didn't and continued to escalate. Now he is finally joining on other countries in calling for a ceasefire ... a week later.
I'm sure people are aware of certain politicians in congress picking sides, and even media outlets, thus creating even more problems for biden.

It's unlikely they will not side with israel but at the same time biden wants the iran nuclear deal back on, as well as trying to appease the far left wing of the party which going with israel will not do. No matter whose side biden picks he will lose and he knows it. Thats why you see nothing but stall tactics, thumb twiddling, and so forth, just trying to stay on the side lines.

Now as to the response that israel is continuing to launch missile strikes in gaza at selective targets, gaza is also launching missile barrages too all the time. The only difference is israel has the iron dome mds which has been shooting almost all the missiles out of the sky, where as gaza has nothing creating the huge difference in death counts (israel: 10 deaths, gaza: 220)
This is going to keep going on, a full blown war is right around the corner. Israel is trying to cripple hamas infrastructure as well as kill any high ranking military leaders they can, and hamas just keeps launching retaliatory strikes.

I think the way to look at it is that supporting Israel is the default, but what they're doing is such bad optics that Biden doesn't want to be seen around it. I wouldn't be surprised if he's just waiting for it to blow over so he can do the Democrat finger-wag at them after it's all done and dusted.

hello,
for some people, this thread has outlived its usefulness
it's been 5 months and Biden is currently the president of the USA whether you accept it as fact or not, whether you think he's been elected legitimately or not.

I have added a poll to this thread. The poll will end 3 days from now.
You can decide to either lock the thread or keep it open and alive.

Is the right saying cut ties with israel?
Nope for once this is a both parties thing, I think the vote to sell Israel more weapons (after giving them the money to buy it) will pass unless it's delayed, and like Darth Meteos said, Biden will sign it while finger-wagging it away. Probably gets 95% in favor on the Republican side, and at least 40% on the Democratic side.

why do we support a genocidal country
Christians. The more extreme they are, the more likely they are to support Zionism and Netanyahu's forced evictions/apartheid state. They want Isreal to seize that holy land because they think they can bring back Jesus ASAP by building temples and monuments on top of land soaked in fresh death.

we sure as hell didn't support the Nazi's
Gotta be careful about that, I found out the US government has and continues to classify those comparisons as "anti-Semitic." Even if you're just talking about the Israeli government/military and Netanyahu. Ridiculous of course, I have made and will continue to make such comparisons. They're straight-up Stormtroopers, jack-booted thugs.

It's been four months, man
It's only May. For now.
The problem here is that the thread has replaced the entire subforum. At present, it has less to do with Biden and his administration and more to do with discussions regarding science, astronomy, arguments about the political spectrum, nazism, fascism and 198 different, completely unrelated topics. It's even become a hub for discussing the conflict in Gaza which Biden has absolutely nothing to do with besides his fence sitting. He's elected and inaugurated, has been for months - you're not beating a dead horse, you're beating a fossil.
I say no, considering similar thread(s) will just be made right after.
Threads about specific issues, sure. That's preferable than one mutated catch-all growth that results in cancerous discussions that are off-topic 9 out of 10 times.

lol Forgot how off topic things have gotten.

Despite saying no, I admit it would be easier to stay on topic and less work on the mods trying to figure out what the topic even suppose to be, with separated threads.
