"Worth reiterating here that the analogy with those Kirk blogs is meant to be taken seriously. In those blogs there was a constant claim that loony lefties needed to grasp the no matter how much they disagreed with Kirk, murder was unwarranted. 
But…"

"Joke? What joke?"

"They are being kept in US detention, sent to CECOT/etc or being dumped in 3rd countries as often as being sent "home"."

"No my point is the people resisting ICE with threats of violence have zero claim to legitimacy."

"Hi Poppa, no, I actually agree with your basic contention that most would see what is happening with Trump and ICE in the US as reminiscent of fascist Germany. Where I depart company is the idea that if I have loony left sympathies that they "taint"…"

"Minnesota. Canada. Norway. Denmark.
When the literal nicest people in the world are upset & are your targets you need all the PouPou's you can find to help rationalize it. It's normal, whatabout.
Yeah they point phones and film, as is their right.…"

"Nobody is sending citizens to Polish death camps, they are trying to legally deport unlawful residents to their country of origin. That's not a war crime. It's not even a domestic crime in the US.
It's a shame that US citizens are being caught up in…"

"Fake Midget, I don't see what's "funny" about any of the current situation in the US with ICE. Can you identify where you are finding it "funny"?
Also, it's interesting how you reframe the issue. Apparently, only those non-complying get shot. So are…"

"Poupou, Harris once said Trump would suck the military on his own citizens and the GOP lampooned her. Turning around now as if doing so was included in Trump's mandate is first rate historical revisionism, it seems? Are you claiming Trump ran on a…"

"That's funny because I haven't seen anyone complying with law enforcement be shot.  Tensions are high so why would you choose to go into a situation where law enforcement are armed and on edge risking violence.   All this is to protect illegal…"

"* DE-escalation! Typo small screen blah blah blah"

"Poupou, you make a fair point but can I suggest where you lose track of your own fair point? The point you make is derived straight from the German sociologist Max Weber, his 'politics as a vocation' lecture. The key to "legitimate monopoly on…"

"Bellingcat do some good work, but their choice of targets gives their bias away. Even the fact they've linked to Bluesky (an app hostile to conservative opinion, like Twitter was prior to Musk's takeover) reveals how partisan they are.
At this stage…"

""Any intelligent people will realise what is happening is wrong and reminiscent of so much in human history."...true. But what is it reminiscent of? Spell it out old man, because the dumb and the young don't know their history. They need your…"

"Lebensraum, Randy, that's the best term for Trump's foreign policy. Greenland, Canada, Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico ... means "living space". Fairly, obviously, problematic. "

"Parra Greg, Randy's joke was fine but I'm gonna go easy on Poppa here. Poppa is surely right to suggest we can all see some troubling overlaps with Nazi Germany? But I guess we do have to ask, and here Poppa can clarify, but is this the best time…"
