Loved this conversation. May I suggest, however, that perhaps the reason that the "right fascists" want to have Mondani's citizenship rescinded and have him deported is that they don't TRUST the democratic process. There has been too much corruption and manipulation of the elections to allow them to "trust the process," in much the same way that when law enforcement fails, vigilantism rises. People don't call 911, they reach for their own weapon. If that's the case, it seems to me that the best way to deal with that is to return integrity to the election processes.

I hope you've visited this site to say a prayer. I knew many Hungarian Jewish survivors of the Shoah:

Great conversation. I agreed with Kreko when he says he won't debate a Bucha denier. And yes, the left won't debate you, Peter, and it seems to the leftist that it is for the same reason. But the vast majority of people have been confused by or uninterested in leftist positions. When they figure things out, they know the leftist position is crazy. The vast majority of people think Bucha denial or Holocaust denial is crazy.

In other words, I do think that most people are reasonable, eventually.

Good conversation, going to Europe soon, hoping to only have a brief time in detention.

You won’t have to worry about that in Eastern Europe!
