Those crazy left-wing reporters keep making fun of me, who knows what evil heights they will reach unless we stop them.

They are an Italian anarchist front that sent explosive packages to the then-president of the European Commission in 2003, two Greek networks believed to have planted bombs outside riot police and labor department buildings in Athens, and an anti-fascist group whose members were prosecuted by German authorities for a hammer attack against neo-Nazis in Dresden.

So after Venezuela, he’s going to Greece, Italy, and Germany.

Never mind what this orange idiot says. The real damage is that no other country will ever take a US President’s statements seriously again. He’s flushed us down the toilet and there’s no coming back.

Europe has a long history of left-wing political violence, while in the United States political violence has been more likely to come from the right in recent decades

This so called history of left-wing political violence is extremely over-reported compared to the slew of actual attempts to terrorise people from the far right. Stories just from the German state of Hesse I can remember rn:

  • guy who believes in replacement theory shoots dead 9 in Hanau
  • police officers from Frankfurt use police database in attempt to intimidate lawyer representing families of NSU victims
  • extremist murders center-right politician for having a somewhat nuanced view on asylum policy
  • pride parades need police escorts after multiple interruptions and attack with pepper spray
  • socialist and green party offices vandalised
  • attempted arson at queer youth centre
  • anti racist organisers attacked and beaten

While I concur that a hammer is not the right tool to win a political argument, I do understand that people feel threatened by fascists - it’s because they are.

Dude, half of Europe was under communist totalitarian oppression for decades. Yes, that included a lot of violence as well. They are not wrong

ahornsirup@feddit.org on 14 Nov 14:40 collapse

It’s not but it’s also kind of irrelevant to the situation in Europe right now because it’s history. The Soviet Union and it’s puppet regimes fell decades ago, and the Eastern Block sponsored communist terrorists (RAF, Red Brigades, etc.) went down along with it.

This may as well just read “Europe has a long history”. It’s such a fucking say-nothing statement.

urandom@lemmy.world on 14 Nov 13:52 collapse

The communist states fell only 35 years ago. Long history is a dumb way to describe that timeframe

Fun fact, the US has been a terrorist country since the 1950s. They bomb whoever they want, kill whoever they want (not just on American soil, but everywhere), threaten everyone, and dominate through fear. Now that they have a president who doesn’t hide it, it’s obvious to everyone.

paultimate14@lemmy.world on 14 Nov 13:01 collapse

As an American I can confirm it goes back way further than 1950.

& people insist that my claim that Trump is going to use his “denaturalization” citizenship-removal law, against all Democrats, is delusion…

Mere months, now, people, mere months, before US Civil War Part2 is begun, with the removal of civil-rights from all except Trump-worshippers, & then the butchering will begin ( while he launches war against Central America, northern South America, & Canada, to enforce his annexations, for his continental-kingdom dictatorship’s greed )

The ones who have the authority to prevent this won’t do-so, so prepare for the coming butchery, to improve your liklihood-of-surviving…

( EU, abandoned, will be rampaged by Russia, obviously, with China’s full backing )

See Trump’s progression, and its acceleration, & extrapolate it, … & understand it is WE who will be dying, soon.
