Hey, look everyone, they’re doing the thing in the article!

Let me guess, “Zelensky did it first”?

Man, imagine doing two terms as POTUS just to get out of divorce court.

Because for a disturbingly large segment of the American population, the Cold War staying cold made it not really register as over.

I mean, the third Punic war happened. Cartage was literally destroyed during it.

If you think the trolley problem has an obvious solution, you do not understand the trolley problem.

The Party cannot fail, it can only be failed.

“Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos!”

No need to imagine, it’s been on full display everywhere for the last 8 years.

Killing himself, presumably.

The angle is that the Overton window shifted so far right that the disagreement is now which foreigners (and secret, domestic foreigners) are to blame for the country’s decline.

I rest my case.

Oh for fuck’s…

@finitebanjo: $Tankies_rant @TokenBoomer: The Nazis are in power, and you’re fighting tankies? @Rhoeri: Yes, there’s two fronts @TokenBoomer: Allen Dulles also thought Communists are the more important enemy You, direct quote: “They’re literally saying Nazis are also their enemies.” Me: Yes, exactly.

That is the context. Dulles thought communists are a “graver threat” than the Nazis, meaning he, also, considers both to be a threat. I don’t know who Rhoeri considers worse, (though if this is anything to go by, finitebanjo seems to think they’re one and the same). Either are welcome to elaborate their position at their leisure should they see fit. If the “greater enemy” is what you wanted to pivot the argument around, your reply should have read “They never said Nazis were the greater threat”, the way you phrased it, it looks like you’re misunderstanding Dulles.

On a separate note, I resent you starting this conversation with a sliding tackle, demanding evidence, calling me dishonest and pretending, and ending on an implied insult. Stop trying to spin minor misunderstandings into full blown arguments. You’re getting a reputation, and so is .world, and it’s for a reason.

I’m claiming Dulles considered Nazis a threat. Smaller than the Soviets, but still a threat.

Now that’s a level of introspection I never thought I’d see in a thread like this.

…I’m sorry, what?

So is Dulles. He said “greater threat”.

CNN is just a bystander in this conflict
