->No, it's not implausible at all. In fact Putin has all but declared that one of the NATO countries (Poland if I'm not mistaken) is his next target. 


I think he's bluffing. If he invaded Poland, then Russia is going to get destroyed! Keep Poland in NATO.


->This is just a fundamentally unserious response.


What's wrong with it? It's more immigration.


->Empowering a nation who wants to see us burn.


They won't burn us unless there are nukes, but then it's mutual and independent of if Russia annexes Ukraine or not.


->Are you seriously disputing that Putin runs his government like a gangster?


No, but I'm saying every head of state runs their government like a gangster. Putin and Trump are honest gangsters. Carney tries to do a big show. He will say that Canada is better than America in every way and will cite life expectency, but he leaves out that for every $1 an American earns, a Canadian earns 70 cents.


Carney, Trump, Putin; all gangsters; but at least Trump and Putin are honest gangsters.

->So keeping him preoccupied with this one country is good for us, it keeps him too busy to spread his aggressions to other countries, especially NATO allies which would drag us into a literal world war.


It's implausible that Putin won't attack any NATO country (which is why when Sweeden and Finland joined, I agreed with it).


-> Putin has made his desire to try and restore the Soviet union clear


How is that bad for America? We are in NATO (and so is a lot of the former USSR that Putin can't touch).


->People like Putin can't have that because any threat against his power is a literal threat against his survival, which is also what makes him so dangerous.


So then maybe what would be a decent idea is anyone in Russia that hates Putin the US can ship to the US (if these individuals agree to be sent to the US). Less people -> less power for Putin.


->Russia is essentially a gangster state that threatens world order. 


A gangster is what the leader of Country A will call the leader of country B if the leader of country A wants the people of country A to hate the leader of country B. And I'm sure that Putin has done many horrible things. But our leaders don't exactly have shit that tastes like marshmallows either.


->So no, this is nothing like Gaza, and it's a remarkable display of ignorance to put the two into the same category when it comes to our safety and the stability of our democracy.


I'm sure Putin is a very big threat to Ukraine, but he won't touch any NATO country unless there are nukes (which means Russia dies as well). Nobody wants MAD, not even Putin.

RemyBrown

I'm going to attempt to steelman your argument:


  1. Ukraine is bringing down Russia for us and us sending them weapons helps accomplish this.


Assuming this is your argument, then the assumption is that Russia is bad for America (which I think is like saying Gaza is bad for America).


We shouldn't fund Ukraine or Israel. Russia's GDP is about the same as TX's; that's not a credible threat to the US.

RemyBrown

->Hitler was never part of this conversation, so nice deflection (not really).


Purpose being that it's irrelevant if a leader is foreign of domestic.


-> The mentality of America first is shared by everyone


Not among those that want to fund Ukraine (or Israel).


->No, we're sending them arms (mostly made in the US which means that money is actually being pumped into American businesses) so that they can fight Russia themselves thereby depleating Russia's military resources and erode Putin's support, all without sacrificing a single American life.


Sending them arms means paying military contractors with American tax dollars for a foreign war (which is not America first). Whether the sacrifice is money or life, us helping Ukraine with our tax dollars even if American companies benefit is not America first.


->The same is true of US AID, we weren't sending these places or money just to be nice, we were doing it because it enhances the US's soft power around the globe, which in turn helps us tremendously to advance our agenda and keep us in control of world events.



That is a good point, but that money goes to help poor people; military money goes to help war factories (Ukraine included, just like Israel).


->There is a reason the more educated you are the more likely you are to vote against him, and it sure as hell ain't because republicans are the party of the working class.


I thought college grads were more likely to vote against Trump because they had student debt and the Dems talk about free college (which appeals to a lot of students). The GOP is not pro working class at all.



RemyBrown

->Islam-ism isn't running our federal government.


Neither is Hitler. I think we can agree that Hitler is worse than Trump.


->It isn't putting American troops into our cities, isn't nabbing up nanies in front of schools to deport them, isn't tanking our economy and raising prices for all of us, isn't using the justice department to go after an enemies list, isn't texting war plans to journalists, etc.


But it throws gay people off of buildings. If you claim you care less about it because it's foreign, then fine, but then acknowledge that you are having an America first mentality (which is republican).



RemyBrown

->yo wat up its my boi cummy jorts! for those of you who dont know i know remybrown in real life and he popped a fat nut when this cute boy he liked made out with him and thats how we came up with this nickname. he makes this weird sound too and says "zoo wee mama" and then he splooges so hard it shoots out of his underwear at like 500 mph. his splooge knocked a predator drone out of the sky one time that was following us because i dont pay my taxes. dudes my fucking hero.


Allegation denied. Everything you said here is false.

RemyBrown

->I don't know enough about Islam to be condescending towards it, and I don't care to learn. Trumpism is a different story. So no.


Appeal to ignorance.


I know a lot about both religions. I can assure you, Islam is more xenophobic than Trumpism. Trump makes jokes about grabbing women by the pussy (which you can think are crass), and Islam calls for saying a woman's vote is worth 50% of a man's.


American conservatives say marriage is between a man and a woman. Islam throws gays off of buildings for consensual sex.

RemyBrown

->How many times do Christians swear god would never do X, regardless of the fact that X is in the bible?


All religions suck. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Trumpism. Every religion should be interpreted 100% literally and discarded because of it.


->All religious texts have to be interpreted, and we tend to see in them whatever we see in ourselves. 


Would you be as generous with Trumpism as Islam? No. You should be equally condescending of both religions.


All religious people don't believe the Leopard will eat their face.

Because sex (even consensual sex within the context of marriage) I believe is bad to do because:


  1. I don't want kids, and pregnancy (even with me having a vasectomy) is possible. I'm anti-abortion, so I wouldn't want the girl getting an abortion from my sex; so I would rather not take the chance.
  2. They spread STIs/STDs; not every STI/STD gets discovered on a test, so the test is not 100% effective.
  3. I believe sex is highly addicting and bad for your mental health.
  4. If a woman has sex with me, then she thinks she's entitled to have me treat her better because of the sex. Why? If both of us had sex because it feels good, then the sex is both of our rewards; and sex is mutually beneficial. If I go to Chipotle, buy a $10 meal (which to me is worth $15, to them is worth $5), then we both benefit $5. You don't see Chipotle saying that I have to be committed to them. I thought our transaction was complete.
  5. Because sex is addictive and because of the laws in our country, if a woman has sex with me, then I'm addicted to her. She would then make me do all sorts of things around the house that she would never do herself in exchange for sex. If I do these things, then she is legally allowed to withhold consent even if it was agreed upon. That makes no sense. If a woman promises me $20 to mow the lawn and I mow the lawn, then she is required to give me the $20 (and she should be required to do this). Replace the $20 with sex, and I sound like a creepy predator. If a woman isn't willing to have sex with me if I do certain tasks, then she shouldn't offer the sex to begin with. I have attractive female friends that flat out told me that they wouldn't ever want to have sex with me and it's fine. But they are honest, so it's fine.
  6. I like having very few needs. Needs are addictive, they are an expense, and they make you weaker. Why would I want sex to be one of them? If I could snap my fingers and survive comfterably forever without food, water, shelter, and all other needs, then I would do it. But that's obviously impossible.

You suck Monkey Dick and fuck fat strippers on the street! I also bone grandmothers that are half naked and half dead!


Context: My thoughts are terrets. I keep them to myself, but you asked, so ... .

RemyBrown

->Well, he didn't implement the proper infection control procedures, so he must not have wanted to save lives that badly. Then he lied about it.


COVID was a confusing time; I would forgive anyone for things they did during COVID no matter how much I dislike it. Every politician lies.


->A politician who gets people killed is worse.


You can make that claim, but what if Mandami ends up killing more than Cuomo did. Do you think a Mandami government during COVID would have saved more people and expanded more freedom than Cuomo? I doubt it.


->And the title o this thread wasn't prove Mandami is the best candidate, just give a pro-Mandami argument. If anything, all you are doing is bringing up other anti-Mandami arguments.


Good point; I just really don't like Mandami.

RemyBrown
Except Cuomo reduced life and freedom by forcing nursing homes to accept sick people.

You can see though how Cuomo thought getting sick people treated would help save lives.


So it's like 3rd degree murder vs 1st degree

It's more like unavoidable vehicular man slaughter vs a mass shooting. He didn't know the effects until it's too late.


Who has Mandami killed?

Currently nobody; but it's what he's promising that makes him unelectable (abolishing private property).

RemyBrown

You are answering your own question.


Imagine a BLM activist asked, "Out of NY state; are BLM supporters more likely to be in Harlem or Staten Island?" You already know the answer, so there is no point in asking.

RemyBrown

It's a ratio game.


If I murder your wife and 5 years go by, then you will still be mad. If I insult your wife and 5 years go by, then you don't really care after 5 years.


9/11 was like murder; bad COVID policy is like an insult.

A Muslim says they want to kill infidels, the liberal tries to be understanding.


A Muslim says men shouldn't compete in women's sports, the liberal loses it as if it's worse than murder.


A radical Muslim's hatred comes from a book; a radical leftist's hatred coms from within. THINK about that.

RemyBrown

Well, 3 people liked my comment and 0 liked yours (unless you count yourself, but that would be cheating), so being an incel is the norm then by your definition.

RemyBrown

->There is such a thing as being so misogynist you'll only fuck guys.


I see the joke here, and it's funny; I'll give you that; I'll like your comment, you deserved it. I can turn around and say the same thing when telling women who think men are worse than bears to become lesbians. But I'm attempting to become asexual (because sexuality is a choice).


But if I don't fuck anybody, then I'm technically only fucking guys, so you'd be correct if I'm asexual (which I'm trying to become). :).
