Yeah I'm the Jew that rats out his own compatriots to save his own life. What an intelligent comparison.
I did point out that the comparison is not entirely accurate.
your actions are not the same; but you sentiment is quite similar.
Your embrace of every authoritarian figure in the west is indicative of that.
I agree with many of individual issues that you bring up say the women's equal pay ...
But in the end of the day, at least the so called people on the left of political spectrum don't want people look like or my niece Blown to smithereens
All I've been saying is Trump's executive order has merit and if we can easily tolerate Islamic Republic's hostile stance towards the US, then we should not go crying about the opposing force that is natural, inevitable and perhaps even a bit late.
You keep turning the issue toward the hostility of IR toward the U.S and its policies.
First of all what policy is that you speak of? The U.S policy in the 70s and 80s to endorse any kind of extremism to counter soviets?
Policies in the 90s to ram through WTO down every countries throat?
the 2000s to disintegrate middle east?
the policy in the 70s to oppose indians and push Pakistanies?
The policy of 2010s to indirectly fund any kind of extremist there is via the Saudi money with a wink and Nod?
When did the American people sign up for all these policies?
but for the sake of argument Let's assume all American signed for all these policies.
Trump's executive order has nothing and i repeat nothing to do with security. if an extremist really wants to get in to the U.S. they can still do so; they can come in via the porous canadian border, they can come on a container ship, they can come in with a fake passport from another country....
Since you don't live in the U.S and specially the south; I don't expect people like you to get it.
This is about browning of America.
Trump was no idiot. When he proclaimed that Mexico is sending its rapists to America and I assume some are good people!
HE did this as dog whistle to the angry white America that I get it; I know you don't like it how this country changing so rapidly.
George W Bush, Reagan and other republicans used to something very similar.
They used appoint a few pro life judges and give a few speeches about sanctity of life and how marriage is between a man and a woman.
This appeased the poor or middle class white vote; Then they would turn around to real business. which was deregulation for corporate friends and tax cuts.. the whole 9 yards for business establishment.
Trump is trying to adopt a similar model; only this time to appease the white poor to some middle class white vote; he is using rhetoric of demonetization against groups which can't hit him back. very soon once he feels like that base is taken care of he will turn around to his massive DE-regulation agenda.
so go on blame all this $hit all on IR regime. what has the IR regime really done to the swedes? or the Russians. the same kind of sentiments exist there.
consider this; through all of the cold ward the U.S did not ban the entrance of any soviet block students to the U.S.
and can one argue the "danger" that soviet posed to the U.S was far greater.

identity politics!
