@xs4me2 true, but, it always had the rule-of-law principles of the British, and had faught a war on the abollishment of #slavery, afher which further developed democratic principles of equality before the law , and since the widening of #suffrage for women and race, is a liberal #democracy in my book.
—Exept Trump is actively destroying those principles.
#divideandconquer, suspention of #habeascorpus, concentration of (executive) power. In short: a fucking wannabedictator
A decade after Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: 94 Calls to Action report was released - Provincial & federal governments are still actively violating #UNDRIP & using taxpayers funds to fight #Indigenous #FirstNations in courts.

This is ongoing #capitalist driven #colonialism.
It was wrong before. It's wrong now.
I don't care WTF any government PR says about respecting & honouring #NativePeople & wanting to help First Nation communities, when they're whitewashing/greenwashing & being exploitive divide to conquer, greedy jerks.
These populist movements are easily subverted by the wealthy and manipulated into targeting outgroups within the population instead of those who created the problem. The greater the hatred and bigotry, the better the situation becomes at distracting from the root cause. It is divide and conquer, plain and simple.
@junesim63 @mikewaghorne Or rather the interests of fascist ultras, not the interests of the U.S. people, who are being shafted by a snake oil salesman and the oligarchs who gave them the criminal president. The corruption, injustices, wars and inequality for the sake of their private wealth and power is bankrupting the U.S., namely by persuing an insane arms race for their benefit by financing and doing business with authoritarian and genocidal regimes. #HumanRights #EcocideEmpire #DivideAndConquer #LivingSideBySide #DefendingDemocracyOrWar #AllForGas
Divide and conquer, is still the de facto policy of the U.S. Empire following the British Empire. Will Putin let Trump take and level the Middle East in exchange for Europe? Isn’t the price of ignoring home discontent, China, India and Pakistan a recipe for a diabolical resurgence of the dark ages? #HangingDemocracy #DivideAndConquer #MAD #EmpiresEnd https://repository.uclawsf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3804&context=hastings_law_journal
Wie angekündigt kommen jetzt die Soldaten und die #BigBeautifulBill wird derweil gemacht. Jeder #Twitter #X, #AI und Co -Kunde machte sich daran mitschuldig, schon seit vor 2016 ist der #DivideAndConquer Ansatz klar.
#Kalifornien ist a) #Trump's Präzedenzfall und b) abschreckendes Beispiel und c) zu stark als dass er es nicht angreifen würde - in seiner Welt muss er.

@aral @iveyline ‘Jews and Arabs Descended from Canaanites’. Zionists are in effect killing their own on the basis of a lie; Palestinians have more Semitic DNA than the Canaanites colonial descendants. Basically the genocide is just a land grab to further the strategic interests of an oligarchs Empire and its programme of ecocide! #antisemitism #genocide #OligarchsEmpire #DivideAndConquer https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/ancient-cultures/ancient-near-eastern-world/jews-and-arabs-descended-from-canaanites/
#Demonstrators across 50 states look to unify a disparate opposition to #Trump and his sweeping agenda

ATLANTA (AP) — "As Donald Trump prepared Tuesday to address a joint session of Congress, #protest groups gathered at parks, statehouses and other public grounds across the country to assail his presidency as #dangerous and #UnAmerican.
"The rallies and marches — set in motion by the fledgling #50501Movement, a volunteer-driven group organized in the weeks after Trump’s inauguration — mark the latest attempt at national resistance to the hardened support of Trump’s '#MakeAmericaGreatAgain' base and the success it has had in reshaping the Republican Party in the president’s populist image.
"Yet some early scenes Tuesday vividly demonstrated the difficulty Democrats, progressives and everyday citizens face in marshaling a tangible response to Trump and the swift, sweeping actions of his second administration. Protesters have so many things to push back against — from tariffs to Trump’s reset on the war in Ukraine to the aggressive and sometimes legally dubious actions of the Department of Government Efficiency and its leader, billionaire #Elon Musk, that it’s hard to know what to focus on." [THIS IS INTENTIONAL! #DivideAndConquer!]

It occurred to me today that the way the current #media & #socialmedia landscape chops things up and induces people to take sides and see the other side(s) as bad or wrong is a living example of #divideetimpera #divideandconquer .
This makes me wonder: Who or what exactly is doing the dividing and who is conquering? To what extent are we doing this to ourselves? And most importantly, how can we come together #peacefully and free ourselves from the shackles of #disharmony ?

@ronpatz The paper is in twitter.com@Horizons_CIRSD, which is basically, an EU-based Foreign Affairs. Which proved handy, because the original Foreign Affairs chose to put out a quite different take focussing on nations, written by one of their editors, plus Mustafa Suleyman. #divideAndConquer? Anyway, cf the entire Horizons issue, https://www.cirsd.org/en/horizons/horizons-summer-2023--issue-no24 one article allegedly by #gpt4, but also some actual policy authors you've heard of. 2/2
What Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbán Understand About Your Brain
By Marcel Danesi, 07/30/2023
"My research analyzes real speeches made by politicians past and present, including those of #Trump, #Orbán and #Putin, using cognitive linguistics — a branch of linguistics that examines the relationship between language and the mind. What I have found is that throughout history, speeches by #dictators and #autocrats have one thing in common: they use #dehumanizing metaphors to instill and propagate hatred of others.
"It is well-documented that for example words like 'reptiles' and 'parasites' were used by the Nazi regime to compare outsiders and minorities to animals. Strongmen throughout history have referred to targeted social groups as 'rats' or 'pests' or 'a plague.'"
