In roughly 30 years online, across a wide variety of communities on a wide variety of platforms, zero of them would have removed that comment as “trolling.”
Except .ml, apparently.
Of course Biden could stop it at any time! I’m not giving any defense to that shit. But I caution not to fall for “strong man” plays which has happened already in the past and end up acting like propaganda tools. The threat was probably more like “ok act as agreed and raise some complaints about it in the media to sell it”. Trump is famously conflict averse.
Oh I hardly see him as a strong man. But you’re right about conflict adverse. I think his only genuine trait is that he really doesn’t have a taste for war and would rather have peace. He’s been pretty consistent about that since before he entered politics. I actually believe a lot of the smears against him are the work of the military industrial complex being mad that he’s not coming up with endless wars for them and instead ending them. He’s also a piece of shit, but I don’t recall anyone going as hard against GWB for example. GWB fed the war machine.
Don’t think I’m pro trump, I’m not. The only thing I find redeeming about him is the anti war stuff. And it’s still too early to say how israel will go. I hope the ceasefire is successful.
