Georgia has access to the Black Sea.

Trump dummies use bing and probably Altavista

you are quite right. for some reason i was thinking about the sea access being via the baku coast. forgot the other side.

Honestly I had to check a map because I thought it was connected to the Caspian Sea instead.

But the people of Georgia fought hard for their access to the Mediterranean and that must be acknowledged.

Pretty funny watching Lindsey Graham disowning Trump - I'll always be able to say "I was there man"

I actually misremembered

"A YouGov Direct poll of 1,397 registered voters who had heard about the event finds that most (62%) voters perceive these actions as a threat to democracy. Democrats (93%) overwhelmingly see it this way, while most (55%) Independents also agree. Among Republicans, however, only a quarter (27%) think this should be considered a threat to democracy, with two-thirds (68%) saying otherwise. "

Further,

"In fact, many Republicans (45%) actively support the actions of those at the Capitol, although as many expressed their opposition (43%)."

Vision emerged online of police opening barricades to let people walk towards Capitol Hill.
Unconfirmed vision that was live streamed on social media also showed police guards inside the Capitol taking photos with some protesters.

so the police really do support neo-nazis and white supremacists?

so white privilege and a two-tier system of citizenship really does exist in america?

how many BLM activists got ushered through police barricades and encouraged to loot those stores? do you think a crowd of black people would be allowed to run around the corridors of the Capitol and trash the house speakers office? how many more lethal rounds do you think would have been let off?

watching a bunch of barely literate rednecks cosplay a ‘revolution’ whilst the president refuses to call in the national guard is the most obvious example of the forms of political privilege wielded in america that you’ll get. trump was threatening martial law and the national guard over a small city block in Portland. but the people who trash the SEAT of america’s legislative and make its ELECTED officials cower and run for the panic rooms in gas masks are ‘very loved people, great patriots, we love you’.

lmao it’s like you’re a dementia patient trying to put together a 12-piece jigsaw whilst being unable to actually see the big picture.

so protesting about very real police murders and very statistically evident inequalities in the law and its application; protesting for the sake of democratic equality and equal treatment; this form of protest to you raises massive suspicions and is the true evil.

but people who protest over conspiracy theory and dispute legal elections are somehow ‘your’ guys. the ‘i told you so’ reaction to all this ‘much more widespread and more insidious’ leftism.

right. keep reading those children’s schoolbooks about nazis. you might see a few more parallels in history with regards to reactionaries scaremongering about ‘the left’. you can even resubmit your homework with that terrible ‘democratic voting caused nazism’ thesis.

I think anyone who wasn't a proud boy or trump cultist was on the receiving end of insults then.

I didn't say anything of what you're implying above.

To expand by homing in only on neonazi tendencies you're missing various other elements. Judging by the pictures you were seeing an amalgamation of society rejects from neckbeards to self identified 'shamans' and guys wearing anti semitic shit, confederate flags etc. What you consider neonazi also deviates from my point of reference in east germany - the leader of the proud boys is a black hispanic dude of all things, who would be scalped by the skinheads I'm familiar with. I'm sure neonazis were represented amidst the crowd, but it certainly wasn't the only group of ideological crazies present yesterday. So what binds them, and how does a black guy find acceptance to a leadership position among them if they're hardcore racists? Antisemitism seems only an adopted part of a broader counter movement of fascist nationalism and cultural narcissism.

I barely even posted here, I don't think there's much to be stated against this specific group of insane people but more to the political and institutional realities in the United States that allowed some mussolini light into the presidency for 4 years and allows for its democracy to be so instable. Who didn't see this coming from miles away? Since I joined this place, from the very start I've been posting about the increasing radicalisation and how politics-as-warfare has become some sort of new normal. What's shocking is the seemingly intelligent individuals and pieces of shit who were hiding behind the benches in the capitol u-turning on their support for Trump and absolving themselves from blame. Any other time people would consider throwing them under a guillotine.

You want me to decry anti semitism and fascism? It shouldn't even need to be said, it's so outlandish and fringe it's ridiculous this shit has repackaged to gain a new foothold anywhere. I mean fucking really? With historical monuments like Auschwitz around we're still going on about blaming jewry? Anyone who seriously engages in that behaviour is not right in the head. It's the politics, the civil society and bureaucratic institutions, the (social) media landscape that are all functioning so badly this beyond ridiculous nonsense can somehow resurface.

Wrt BLM I was also more critical to its systemic implications and influence in countries that are not the US. Difference here is that you're engaging with a somewhat reasoned protest movement. Contrastingly, what overarching purpose can be discerned here? What was all that about yesterday, exactly? It's just aimless mayhem and anger. As soon as they entered the capitol they didn't even know what to do anymore. Confused and dazed at their own 'succes'. It's pitiful.

Aimless and vacuous people latch on to the nearest thing which seems captivating, lately its been Trump and his smoke, mirrors and snake oil.

For the jews its their inane religion.
