Where’s the anti-war leftwing right now on the Syria situation?

Beautifully stated. Seriously spot on.

This is seriously one of the best posts I’ve read on this board.

There is a few countries in the world that have expansionist, imperial desires that would benefit greatly from the destruction of two majority white, Christian countries facing off against each other.

 

Right here. I oppose warmongers in both parties, which is why I didn't vote for the bloodthirsty Clinton (who is calling for bombing Syria) or the insane Trump. The antiwar left mostly voted for Stein and Sanders in the primaries. They have little in common with mainstream democrats and are mostly invisible in the corporate media. They can be found on Counterpunch, Common Dreams and other left-wing sites.

 

So your Mike Pence fan huh? Because let me tell you his administration will be very interesting for anyone on the left.

 

The truth is that I ignore most of his copious tweets.

You repeated bring up Ms Daniels. Again, his sordid antics with her and others may captivate you, but it is only the legal implications of his cover-up that could have dire implications (beyond its impact upon his domestic tranquility.)

 

Same place as the rest of America's left wing: Marginalized and watching our impersonators angrily.

 

What did the Jews do to Germany?

 

Projection. They captivate you which is why you made multiple threads on Daniels, and the related tweets, while ignoring unimportant ones concerning war with Russia.

Just highlighting your priorities.

 

I just asked a question but if you want to know my personal belief, I don't think the Jews did anything to Germany. I just think they woke up on the wrong side of the bed one day and said you know what we're going to kill and persecute Jews and they did it. So evil. So hateful. The Jews should never forgive the Germans for what they did to them.

 

Not wanting a war in the Middle East because it helps advance the globalist interests of another country isn’t a left wing position. Quite the contrary. The left advances those interests in every one of their positions.

 

I mean, in your worldview, yes, but your worldview has absolutely nothing to do with real historical events and everything to do with the inner workings of a particular branch of the spectacle, so I don't really take it too seriously.

 

I think they need to study the trees in Europe to see if they release pollen spores of anti-semitism, because this same kind of thing has happened over 100 times on that continent. There are trees in every one of these countries, so they seem to be the only commonality.

 

Doesn’t matter how seriously you take it, it’s a real problem to your argument when you’re claiming the left has a monopoly on being anti war.

 

Well, no side has a monopoly on being anti war because the left-right dichotomy is only useful insofar as it classifies two distinct but incredibly broad families of thought. There's very few useful things you can say about the left or the right because the terms are historical accidents and not the result of an intentional effort to create a coherent classification system.

 

This is untrue, of course.

Once again, Trump spews copious hysterical tweets, very few of which merit my notice.

I regard Trump's sordid antics with Ms Daniels and others and his desperate attempts to conceal them as of little importance in themselves.

Any crimes committed while attempting to hide his depravity are of legal significance.

Again, if Trump ever settles on a consistent, coherent policy toward Syria, cogent comment will be possible.

He is unstable, and often blurts out positions that he subsequently contradicts.

E.g.,

Trump Proposes Rejoining Trans-Pacific Partnership

You didn’t really say anything here. People understand the differences between the left and right at the moment, including you, which is why you felt justified in arguing that the only people on the right who were anti-war were imitating those on the left.

 

I’ll let people decide for themselves if your laser guided focus on tabloid-tier Trump tweets is indicative of a more rational level of participation on the forum. I have my own suspicions, of course.

Though I am a little disappointed that you didn’t include your usual “goofy face.jpg” and enlarged pink text trademarks. Really completes the image.

 

You seem to have misunderstood me: I was arguing that what you call the "left" is nothing but a different group within the right.

 

You had stated, "you made multiple threads on Daniels, and the related tweets."

The truth is that I have never created a single thread concerning your Ms Daniels, nor related tweets, although I have occasionally contributed threads concerning her. (I'm not even aware of Trump ever tweeting about her, but accept your far greater familiarity with his tweets.)

I shall allow your inability to provide evidence to support your false claim to speak for itself.

 

I mistook your 35 posts on Stormy Daniels during the last month with threads you made. Please accept my apology.

 

The labeling gets more asinine by the day.

 

The interesting thing is the even if Assad did gas a few hundred people (which is all they claim), it still wouldn't be moral to start a war with them which would kill tens of thousands of people.

So the humanitarian argument is totally bunk. It's clear that it's just propaganda made to create outrage and be used as a false flag to start a war, which would serve some very clear and identifiable interests.

Just get that UN investigation started on the field. And have the responsibles of that ridiculous propaganda tried as war criminals. Hell get the Irak War people with them, they're the same after all.

 

A few days ago, the mighty Trump talked tough talk, and got all his worshippers into a war frenzy. Then Putin talked tough talk, and Trump suddenly was running crying to mommy Rightwing. I guess the bone spurs set in again. Obama put a red line in the sand, and everyone saw him not cross it. Trump left a yellow line in the sand, and only the person that does his laundry will ever know how bad it was.

 

Interestingly, the stock market dropped like a rock when Trump was showing off about what a bad a-- he could be, and then shot back up when Putin proved what a wussie Trump really is. Notice I was a gentleman, and spelled that with a "w", not a "p".

 

Trump Tower is the Tower of Babble. Very Biblical, that fellow.

 

Based on your previous posts, I think there is a good chance you weren't joking and actually believe your scenario is possible.
