Do I have to provide this information to Palantir myself, or will the authorities do that for me?

“Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”

If you cannot identify this line…

“Obviously, you’re not a golfer.”

My parents always said: “No path in vain.” By that, they meant that I should - for example - always take some plates with me and put them straight into the dishwasher when I’m on my way to the kitchen anyway. That’s probably why my place looks pretty tidy today.

If I didn’t still do that, the household chores would eventually overwhelm me.

There is a Canadian movie called “Beans”, but it’s a drama…

Based on true events, Tracey Deer’s debut feature chronicles the 78-day standoff between two Mohawk communities and government forces in 1990 Quebec.

And of course there’s the documentary about Lemmy Kilmister that is called - lo and behold: “Lemmy”

It is not a competition in inhumanity. But yes, of course, there is a huge imbalance between the number of Israelis and Palestinians killed. Nevertheless, barbarism remains barbarism, and I am well aware that the Hamas attack has its roots in a long history of oppression.

I don’t think this brutal act of violence can be justified in any way. On the contrary, I think it was foreseeable how Israel would react – not with such disproportionate force, but the Hamas terrorists have once again accepted the suffering of their own people, as they have been doing for years. These people are no more freedom fighters than the Israeli government are decent human beings.

This unlawful attempt at forced brainwashing is truly scandalous and absolutely intolerable with its repugnant double standards.

No one disputes that the terrorist attack by Hamas was brutal.

Nevertheless, this by no means justifies the genocide being committed by Israel. There are also horrific images of this, of starving children, cold blooded murder of civilians and unbearable suffering - and Israel is even using every means at its disposal to prevent the world from seeing the full extent of their own atrocities.

If Israel were to adhere even remotely to international law and human rights, Thunberg would not be there.

It is absurd that this country continues to portray itself as the victim. They are the perpetrators and responsible for crimes against humanity.

These savages who represent Israel are truly the scum of the earth.

I am certain that this guy will still work very productively with Israel — and very explicitly in the name of combating anti-Semitism. Just like the rest of the US government, who are all blatant Nazis.

I suppose you could call that visionary if you’re an unscrupulous billionaire who has to praise the illegal power games of a psychopath in order to get favors.

Just sold my Nvidia shares — fuck 'em.

So he wants people to call him that?

If there is something to criticize, everyone should do so. Criticism is a good thing: you don’t necessarily have to share it, but you can learn from it.

Yes, that’s true. I’m more concerned with whether US citizens, whose past administrations more or less invented the term, can now recognize for themselves that they are no longer on the side of the “good guys” with this administration at all, but are now the “terrorists” themselves - the very thing that past US administrations denounced (at the time, of course, already completely speciously).

Edit: Trump himself has even brought the term back to a certain extent - and he is not only the personification of evil for the governments of other countries. I just want to make it clear that it’s the same here as with almost everything he does: it’s projection - whatever he accuses others of, he and his corrupt gang are the ones doing it.

Edit 2: Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying this because I believe that Europe, for example, would be much better - I’m saying it because I’m from Germany and we have the history that you all know. It’s not too late to put a stop to Trump and his Nazi colleagues, but it will take civil resistance. If there is no vehement resistance, I fear that history will repeat itself. Nobody in their right mind can want that.

Probably not unimportant even for you: the fact that women’s right to self-determination regarding abortions has been effectively abolished in the US. This of course contradicts any civilizational progress and cannot be interpreted as anything other than a severe violation of human rights - I would never have thought that this would be possible in any Western country, but what do I know.

It doesn’t stop there - not by a long shot. I don’t even want to go into the illegal circumstances under which the USA operates a barbaric torture prison in Guantanamo Bay, or the numerous crimes against humanity that the USA has committed over the years. For the moment, let’s stick to the things your fascist government is up to.

The Trump administration’s policies have raised significant concerns regarding human rights both domestically and internationally. Key areas of restriction include:

• Immigration and Asylum Rights: Policies have dismantled protections for asylum seekers, expanded immigration detention, and criminalized immigrant communities. Refugees have been blocked from entry, and asylum applications by undocumented migrants have been banned, violating federal law[1][2][4].

• LGBTQ+ Rights: Executive orders prohibit transgender individuals from serving in the military and deny federal recognition of transgender identities, mandating recognition only of binary sexes[1].

• Birthright Citizenship: Efforts to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents could render many children stateless, affecting access to healthcare, education, and identity documents[1][5].

• Policing and Civil Rights: The administration reinstated “no-knock” warrants and choke holds, increasing risks of police violence disproportionately affecting marginalized communities[2].

• International Human Rights Engagement: Withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, defunding UN refugee agencies, and sanctions on the International Criminal Court undermine global human rights frameworks[3][7].

• Humanitarian Aid: Suspension of development aid and humanitarian assistance worldwide impacts vulnerable populations dependent on U.S. support[1][5].

These actions collectively erode protections for marginalized groups and weaken international human rights systems.

And that’s just a glimpse. If you think the US does not suppress human rights you are plain wrong.

Ah yes, the usual patriotism…

That’s why I wrote “…now definitely a rogue state”. Not that there was much of a question before but now it should be obvious even to US-citizens.

You must be male, white, and a US citizen, I assume … and you are obviously ill-informed.

You can’t be serious.

I’m not from the US - that’s why I’m asking. Thanks for the insights into the lives of US citizens. It’s even sadder than I thought. But rest assured: it’s not like this everywhere in the world. Not yet at least and the rest of the world just needs to see that your horrible government doesn’t force your way of life on everyone - because that’s what Trump and his criminal crew want.

True. But what I mean above all is that the US is now more unpredictable in terms of foreign policy than ever before.

By rogue state, I mean a country that poses a threat to world peace due to its unstable and dangerous government.

As a rule, the following criteria are usually applied, almost all of which the USA now fulfills:

• Authoritarian or totalitarian government
• Severe restriction of human rights
• Promotion of terrorism
• Pursuit of weapons of mass destruction
• Unpredictable and dangerous foreign policy
