So maybe they’re not even burying someone. Maybe they are just burying a bag of dirt. Or a coffin-shaped matryoshka doll.

He totally meant it like this. Like thank you for not paying attention to all other dumpster fires.

They are really trying to see how low they can go.

I think you mean America is not a nation, also besides north-america there is also south-america. You can argue as much as you want about about them being separate continents or not, they definitely share a name. I also talk about Americans when I mean people from US but if someone corrects me the only argument i have is that other people also do that.

I agree, the us’ imperialism is driven by a lot more than just a few individuals at the top. The ‘aesthetics’ would likely have kept a lot more allies on board. But the biggest change I see is how the powers driving the country are not only hurting a lot of people outside of the US (which goes for most developed countries), but is also more and more hurting people inside the US (similar to oppression in autocratic countries).

As far as the war in Iran goes I’m not so sure, if Democrats would have continuously stayed in power, the deal would most likely be up. But then the defense industry would still push for war somewhere else, so who knows what the world would have looked like. I’m not convinced it would look better.

I guess the countries sceptical or hostile back than didn’t really have much reason to change their mind about us. But Trump sure did a lot of damage to the relationship with befriended countries, guess all he has left are strategic allies with a similar world view. But I guess that’s what autocrats want after all. Who needs friends if you’ve got power. But for me personally, even though my view on american people didn’t change much my desire to support them definitely increased. If i were to meet someone from the US tomorrow that person would likely get a better treatment from me than if I had met him a few years ago. Not that i feel sorry for them or anything, but i just am really glad im not in their shoes. Had a colleague from Russia years ago, who left a hostile nation behind. Think I’d feel similarly for someone migrating from the US.

Iirc that’s how they make love, so confused might not be it’s emotion lol

“[…] four [countries] contributed troops to the invasion force (the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland). An additional 37 countries provided some number of troops to support military operations after the invasion was complete.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_of_the_willing_(Iraq_War))

Far far less for sure. Although are quite some far right leaders in Europe right now. Perhaps Hungary and Italy are on their way already.

A decapitating strike to the regime of Iran also seems fair. Maybe not according to international law but my moral compass says it’d be a win for humanity.

China also has relations with Israel, they will most likely try and remain neutral (or at least try to look that way) just like they’re (acting as if they’re) neutral in the war in Ukraine.

In history class i regularly heard about people leaving warmongering countries, not as refugees but as economic migrants. I don’t know your personal situation, but this is a friendly reminder it is possible you end up regretting you stayed. There might not be a better time to leave.

Officially we’ll only be able to call that afterwards, during the cold war ww3 also almost begun. We should still try stop and prevent it, no matter how difficult it to argue it hasn’t begun yet.

Ikr, it’s like puncing someone in the face and then telling that person now is the moment to stop fighting lol

Hope your neighbor checks that with actual black people, but I guess she doesn’t know any.

I 100% agree and totally get why I am being downvoted, but just disabling advertising or banning tracking cookies are not a magic fix to save the internet from the perspective of the companies that now show these ads. But I am definitely I favour of changes, the enshittication went way to far already. But there is more than big social media platforms is what I mean to say.

I’m not a fan of being tracked so don’t get me wrong, but without the money earned with advertising the Internet will look very different and not only in a good way.

Only people who are against democracy say stuff like this.

Interesting how it enters the stage as a creature from hell and then it becomes softer and they walk off all cute.

If you zoom in there is a little bit of space left

Both might be true. Being poor seems to make people more empathic too.
