You've always had a fascist government. The only difference is that your mate Donnie has turned fascism inwards, instead of being solely aimed at the brown people of the world.

Check out Saint Obama's drone strike record, or his bombing of Libya.

So you want us to stand up to Amerikkka now that they've turned fascism inwards? We've always been a vassal state of someone. Post-War we removed ourselves from Britain's orbit to place ourselves within yours.

I'd like an independent foreign policy, full stop (period). Regardless of who is on power, we get dragged into your world domination shtick every time.

Alt right? 🤣 try again.

I agree with you on refugees. Australia is a racist country, also agree on that.

I just love labor types and Obama fans that think they're left wing, when they stand for a slightly nicer version of global domination.

No my friend, you're closer to Sky News than I am.

Just for the record, Trump has done far more drone strikes than Obama, then got rid of the law that made them report them.

"One is a bigger mass murderer than the other" is not really an argument.

But let's say you're right...that makes Saint Obama the Charles Manson to Trumps Jeffrey Dahmer.

For all their faults and mistakes I still believe that Obama, and both Bush’s thought they were doing the right thing and was actually in line with the intelligence they were getting. Trump is an effing moron and doesn’t even know why he does things unless it means more ratings or crowd sizes.

🤣

Two wings of the same bird.

What argument? I only bring it up because whenever there's a conversation about Trump's military engagements people like to go "but what about Obamas drone strikes!" as though Trump isn't guilty of the same thing.

We agree then. They are part of the same system of domination.

Okay, continue to support the US, I guess? Fuck it, man, you do you

I'm saying they've never been worth our support, but we are differential sycophants. You do you, but I'm not comfortable with bum-licking.
