You are saying that from a libertarian perspective (or seem to). The Australian government’s social media controls for children are very popular here as social media is very harmful to children.
You can’t compare that to America bombing a girl’s school and killing 174 children by your military, and in your country’s name.
By no means are they pure, but dude, you could drive 60 tractors, side-by-side, between our version of a bad leader and your guy.
Guess what? You already know that too.
I’m not talking about individuals.
Mock the old aging pedo all you want, but he did this all in your name whether you voted for him or not. It’s an American humiliation as much as it is a Trump one.
Very true. That’s why the rest of the world watched the US install Trump for the second time and then decided to reroute the circuit around America.
It is an acceptance that the US could pull the crazy lever at any time so it is better to have more independence and less reliance on them.
Of course, enforced isolation is not good for the US in terms of economic development, national security or force projection, but this is a self inflicted wound. Other countries didn’t get a vote.
*I assume that someone out there might say, “good, we don’t need you”. Okay, have a great life then.
That’s why post-nut clarity is a thing.
I heard a guy call it ‘Disco Moot’, and he was in favour of it.
I used it before, but got banned by Reddit a couple of months ago for a genuinely ridiculous post. My account was 14byears old. I couldn’t care less about being banned. The place has been a burning dumpster fire for the last few years. If they want to implode that’s their business.
Sounds like some people just want to look at kid’s junk. Sounds very Republican.
I take that point. I also make the point that at the beginning of most revolutions the outcome is unknown. Entrenchment of a new regime can only be understood once the outcome has been decided. To make your argument you are permitted to accept or discount revolutions according to your whim.
My entire point was about historical tipping points. In this very simple concept I have been misunderstood. One person accused me of encouraging revolt. You seem to think that my argument doesn’t work because a great many revolutions fail. You are right. A great many do. But I’m not advocating for revolts nor suggesting that they always work. I’m saying that when conditions reach a certain point, they are almost inevitable. Not always even then. North Korea is a case in point.
I don’t know about that? France, the United States, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Philippines, Nicolae Ceaușescu in Romania, the fall of the Romanovs in Russia were all a thing.
Besides which, I think that you are missing my point. Success isn’t guaranteed in Revolution, that’s why I included 1905. I was talking about tipping points that lead to revolution. What happens next can go either way.
The wet fart bit is that you just used Hati to disprove a point that I never made in the first place.
I’ve got no advice to give. Just making a historical observation.
Over time patterns in human societies emerge. Pointing them out doesn’t constitute advice, nor the promotion of events. Sadly, we can be prisoners of those events, mostly events that are beyond any individual’s control.
Spotting smoke on a far distant ridgeline doesn’t cause the fire that comes roaring down towards your house.
In my long study of history there is always a tipping point. 1789, 1840, 1905, 1917 - people just took power back, or made a serious effort to do the same. Not that it was perfect either. The history of humanity is one of struggle against the elites.
In the case of the US, corporations being recognised as actual living, breathing human beings only made revolution a certainty. The only question is when? I’m an old fart, so I hopefully won’t be around to see the inevitable chaos.
I guess that you have to live outside the US to see what a scary man-baby it is. If a country has all the power in the world, and then decides that rules don’t apply to them, it quite a short step to wishing that they would fail and leave the rest of us alone. The delusion is that they have adopted the world cop role. The reality is that they are the world bully.
This is probably a shock for you to learn, but on a public forum it’s possible to draw conclusions from any source and not just repeat the OPs post.
That makes a ton of difference to the dead schoolkids.
The only country in NATO to invoke the defence retaliation clause in 60 years is the US, following SEP 11.
I set my VPN to Albania. Ads on YouTube are banned in Albania.
On the web, I be Albanian.
So is there a plan to preselect a normal person next time?
If you are American, just read your own situation before lecturing anyone else. As far as I am aware, my country is having negligible negative effects to other countries. Your country is a blight upon civilisation.
