Say what you want about how many Americans disagree with Trump blah blah blah, when it comes down to it, Trump could invade us tomorrow and throw us into concentration camps and enough Americans would be behind it that he could get away with it. I don't see how canada doesn't become annexed by the us within the next few years. I doubt the Republicans will ever lose power of the government again, so this is pretty much our future. I'm thinking of moving but I doubt I can convince my wife to come with me. Plus our house is here. Not sure if I sell it before the us comes and steals everything.
Not gonna lie, china felt like the enemy a few months ago. Now they feel like the sane alternative to being allies with the us. Not saying they are the good guy, but certainly better than the us is.
So how likely do you think it is the US comes back from this? Like it honestly does look like the collapse of western civilization is happening right now. Europe is almost in all out war with Russia and even if that doesn't happen, more and more countries over there are electing the far right. America is about to invade all of its allies and even if they don't do it, their diplomatic reputation has been completely shattered. No matter what way you look at it, this does seem like the end of western civilization. What comes after I think is already known. It will be the silicon valley take over plus whatever project 2025 is.
Well, fuck your politicians for being useless cunts. They should have seen this coming. We all did. We knew he was gonna win and to think he of all people would respect the position he is in is ludicrous. Now I'm gonna get invaded or have my economy crashed at best.
This is how I see it. My nature is conservative but I constantly see how conservative politicians are the worst and most evil people in our society. They take my naturally fearful and anxious nature and attempt to twist it into anger and hate so that I vote for them. But the mask is lifted at this point. I honestly don't know what I believe in anymore or what to think other than that any conservative politician is going to be at best a useful idiot for some billionaire and at at worst a dangerous power hungry narcissist committed to the destruction of any law or person that stands against him. Truly awful people. Not to say liberals are perfect, but at least there is some sense of duty in what they do. They at least want to make things better. I don't always agree with them, but i trust them. I don't trust conservatives anymore and don't know why I ever did.
How is it that Trump is able to so easily dance circles around lawyers and politicians and move around the law without actually breaking it? How are career politicians outmaneuvered by this guy? What the fuck are you guys paying them for? I feel like people who's whole career has been politics or law should know how to beat this guy. Or at least been able to stop him somehow at some point along the way. It's almost as if they let him become president because even the people who are supposed to be opposed to him benefit from him in some way or their benefactors do.
The expanse is top tier tv. Not sure how it wasn't more popular. Community is gonna go down as one of the classics
Yeah but eventually it becomes impossible for other people to get their own capital other than their labor. At that point is it really capitalism anymore are evolution into something else?
They aren't even capitalists anymore.
I think life is about maximizing positive subjective experience. If it doesn't make you happy or allow you to live happy in other moments, don't do it. Work sucks, but it gives you money that allows you to buy things that make you happy.
Work in a jail as a co. It's alright but pretty shitty at times. Pays decent and I can live a good life outside of work.
That and there's probably a lot of other ways you have made purchases without even knowing. My point is that don't beat yourself up over not doing a full boycott. The fact that you're doing what you're doing will have an impact pretty big already. If enough people are like you, even if they aren't perfect, will have a huge impact.
Yeah but he has to get an mp spot somewhere i thought.
Pretty sure the real president is actually thiel. The whole putin idea is just laziness.
He knew he couldn't. Why is anyone surprised by this?
Surprised it's not higher actually.
You canceled your Netflix etc? Not playing games in steam?
I'd believe this if half the population wasn't brainwashed. They'd spin it someway and enough people would fall in line that they'd get away with it.
They really don't have one redeeming quality. Totally worthless. I literally hate them.
