    You could have decided not to turn up the saturation to make it look worse, as it looks already terrible…

      Is it saturation or just room lighting? This could also just have been a different camera with different settings. Not like Trump hires competent people.

        Look at the wall papers and chairs. The lower picture has saturation upped to the limit. But true, maybe that was the original photographer and not whoever assembled this meme.

      The difference is that this is in a historic imperial palace (Yildiz palace) with (refurbished) historic imperial chairs… They don’t just look like they were build for the padishah, they were build for the padishah (Abdul Hamid II).

        They don’t care about genocide or anything that’s outside their navelstaring country.
        Yesterday the libs complained about an anti-genocide post here bcs they used X.
        The blue MAGA battle against red MAGA is way more important to them.
        All they want is to go back to their bubble of ‘democracy’ where they keep the fascism for their foreign policy.

            Thanks for your whataboutism.
            If by ‘Europeans’ you mean our sell out US vasal governments and EU leaders then sure, they aren’t any better.
            But that’s not the people.
            Unlike the supporters of the fascist-lite wing of their uniparty perfectly willing to ignore this inconvenient genocide as long as they win.
            So besides those 2 huge factions that form the bulk of your population there’s not much left is there?
            So we aren’t as scummy as you all out of pure self-interest.
            You can mislabel that as a superiority complex if that helps you sleep.

              Oh please, I am eur*pean and live in eur*pe. The people here are exactly like this. Our sell out US vassal goverments get cheered on loudly for throwing more and more public money into the US MIC to arm nazis in Ukraine, for cracking down on “antisemitism” (by silencing “antisemitic” jews e.g.). Thanks for being such a nice example of what I’m talking about.

              We are owned by the US true, but it’s not like there is resistance against it. And we will have to answer for our crimes when our time comes.

                You’re right about most of it but in no way our population would support sending arms to Shitrael or send soldiers to shoot unarmed people trying to get food.
                That is a totally different level.
                Sure they get propagandised but when it’s this obvious they can see what’s happening.
                And so can the americans, yet they still choose to vote for them just to get their win no matter what.
                We are not the same.

                  I dont know which part of Europe you’re in but there isn’t really any noticeable resistance to our support of the Occupation Regime Of West PAlestine here in germ*ny. Freedom protests get like a dozen people and thats it. Granted Genocidesmany is the most whipped dog right after TERF island but I’ve not heard any better news from any other so-called country. Some resistance in Greece to orowpean tourists, Lefty Italian football fans doing cool chants but thats pretty much it. The Freedom protests in Seppoland were way bigger with sit-ins at unis and everything.

                That’s not being more specific.

                There’s 47 countries in Europe. Each with its own foreign policy.

                Saying “the europeans aren’t any better” makes no sense.

                That’s like saying “the South Americans aren’t any better”, “the Africans aren’t any better” or “the Asians aren’t any better”.

                Who are you talking about?

                  Europe is not of the size of South America, Africa or Asia. Neither in land mass nor in amount of people. Talking about euro “culture” is as specific as talking about seppo “culture”, if not more so. I’m sure you’d have no problem talking about Indian culture, and they are even bigger than europe, with more diverse cultures.

    Europe and Canada shouldn’t let white americans to seek refugee here at all even if they’re democrat voters and not even latinos! Only african americans and asians because whites and latinos all seem to have potentially, risk turning into maga nazis and as a anti racist white i personally wouldn’t want them spread their, fascist and racist filth on Europe or Canada causing potential new fascist groups.

      Bullshit. Those fascists will kill anyone opposed to them. There are tons of white LGBTQ people, too, and people with disabilities that would be murdered as well. And then there is the simple White anti-fascist folk who simply fucking hate the regime and need to regroup elsewhere.

    If you ever get another Dem president, which is doubtful, it’s going to take a minute to hose out the whore flair from the White House.

        You will never get a working class president if change doesn’t happen locally first. Young people don’t vote in local elections and young people don’t put themselves on the ballot of local elections. It’s why actual change at the top will never happen. You can’t expect the average Joe, who isn’t very politically engaged, to vote for a socialist president if they have never experienced what a socialist politician can do for them. That experience needs to happen at the local level. The US needs more Mamdani’s across the entire country and not just in New York.

        The reason why Dump is president and co-opted the GOP is because the Tea Party started winning local elections first and pushing out Republican incumbent. They created the momentum so a moron like Drumpf could win a presidential primary.

        And they didn’t just do it in political elections even non political elections like school board elections etc. were captured by the Tea Party.

        The left needs to copy the Tea Party playbook.

        Electing a working class president won’t fix this. The system needs to be abolished.

        We need to learn to build our own, parallel system of people’s bottom-up power.
