It’s a place for discussion as you said. If you can’t handle it without getting angry and whining maybe go back to Reddit.

English is my first language. I was a US citizen. I gave it up for tax reasons when I left.

Ooh babys getting angry.

Actually that is a different comment chain. A different comment in this particular board.

You don’t know what thread means do you?

I thought discussion is what we’re here for? You seem to be getting upset.

Ah now it makes sense. So which part of the discussion was you frantically searching my comment history for some kind of win?

Sad.

Bitch please. Who’d want to be a US citizen. The others are locked in there with tools like you.

Meanwhile in free roaming European: were laughing at you morons for electing a king.

And what makes you think you need to be an inmate to talk about the joint?

I really don’t know where this good guy idea or narrative comes from besides propaganda and Hollywood obviously.

It’s such a short lived nation and during that time it’s conducted a genocide(s) of natives, coups of democratically elected governments, war on almost every continent on earth. It’s the only nation ever to nuke two cities of civilians. It created a ‘war on drugs’ to incarcerate blacks. Has the highest prison (legally slaves) population of any western nation 1.8 million!!. It forced neoliberalism on Europe and the west in general. Had and has the highest per capita carbon impact in the world. Actively suppressed climate change knowledge and mitigation research the world over. Oh yea and chemical weapons on the Vietnamese, rape and torture of detainees and civilians.

And that’s just a few tid-bits and not including anything the orange one has done and will do.

I’m not saying other nations are spotless. The US has done some great things but clearly it’s institutions are fragile and it can only do great things in brief periods e.g. where it dominated the world economically and industrially after WW2. Reading the history of the US it is just a faster version of European powers development. Nothing special and it’s got a king back after all that bleating on about freedom.

I liked the USA as a child. I love the idea of it but the reality is nowhere near that idea and further everyday. It’s just another banana republic and we unfortunately have to watch the fire sale.

Interesting. I didn’t know I had a say in US politics being 5000 miles away and not a citizen. I’ll be sure to smarten my ideas up. Send marine force 2 or whatever to pick me up and I’ll sort that shit show out for you once I kick trump in the balls/face.

Also there’s literally only one other option so yea of course it’s compared to the opposition. That’s how the system is setup.

Nonsense. Disappointed this gets upvotes.

How the hell are the democrats the party of enriching the wealthy when compared to the fucking R’s?? I mean fucking hell have any of you ever read a book or even glanced at historic and current R policy?

You’ve got to step back a little to understand.

The key thing is that it is not possible (excluding inheritance) to become a billionaire without being a scheming psychopathic cut-throat selfish person and having a determined drive to have power over others.

The second key is it’s not possible to keep your billions without being a psychopath. This because you could never possibly spend that money in your lifetime and the only way to have accumulated it is through exploitation of labour.

So it’s a thing you don’t need that you got via abusing others. They want power and they don’t care how they get it. They have no plan beyond that. Personally I think it’s mental health issues and the fact that we allow this in our flawed system.

You were doing so well before the last line which comes over as haughty and suggests you’ve not actually got any solid arguments. “It’s like this because”.

Anyway I disagree, it was a nothing burger and I object to your nonsensical conflation of that with a seig heil. I’d call that a Reddit moment but this place has a different name.

That’ll do me for this conversation, we disagree and that’s fine. Have a nice day.

Yea he obviously doesn’t know much about parenting. Also probably doesn’t have much empathy or mental space he’s willing to commit.

However that is pretty damn normal. I see hundreds of parents and kids each year. The ones who doit properly are few and far between.

The point is why the hell are we talking about it? He’s literally orchestrating a fascist takeover and indirectly killing thousands, why are we wasting our energy on outrage at a minor shitty behaviour than most parents are guilty of?

I’m all for the hate musk train but that one was manufactured bullshit and actually opened my eyes at how manipulated I had allowed myself to become.

In the whole clip he comes back for little X and it’s a total nothing burger. Obviously he’s a psycho and that kid is fucked but leaving him to navigate some stairs for 2 seconds is irrelevant. I guess maybe Americans are more helicopter and precious about kids but in the rest of the world we let them get on with it and that is totally fine.

PM of Poland.

I guess many Americans haven’t heard of him, which is odd given Poland is the first bastion against Russia and a very strong US ally. Well was anyway.

Fair point but they talk about Trump the same way and…well let’s just say they’re cut from the same cloth.

You haven’t made a case.

Why not? There’s a long future for Ukraine, their politics will be marked by anti russian revenge sentiments for the next century. If I was a politician there I’d bang that drum. Russia will collapse, not if but when.

They can wait out Russia.

To be fair that’s a proxy war between the US and the Arab world.

It was always going to end one way. People are mostly desensitized and the Oct events pushed the majority off the fence. Which was kinda the point. It’s a rats nest and anyone trapped there is unfortunately walking dead trapped between the gears of globalism.

American voters had zero say in it really. I’m not sure anyone can do anything really. It’s like trying to hold back the sea.

Lol what? Russia does not have air superiority. You need a functioning air force for that. They’re to scared to fly anything and Moscow has been hit by Ukrainian drones.

Lol air superiority. Lol I say.

Crys in simulator gamer. But agreed, hopefully this trend will be good for Linux use.
