  • Like I have always said, they WILL kill you, and feel righteous while doing so. That's why religions have been so successful over the centuries. They will die and think that's going to be a reward...

    And we have graciously allowed them to not pay taxes, and support these "faiths". Obscene

  • Just, wtf

  • Bailing out multinational banks with taxpayer funds is not "improving the economy."

    Yeah, I know they "paid us back"... i.e. they returned funds made with interest from that bail out, and returned a significantly smaller (through inflation) amount of money. CLEVER THAT SURE TRICKED ME

    Inflation isn't because of some mysterious unknown cause. This bailout in 2008 is a big part of why.

  • I'm old enough to recall Bush political cartoons, he was constantly a monkey clown for our amusement. I'm fine with any President being portrayed as a monkey, personally.

    But this struck me immediately as deeply racist. I think it's because of the attack on the former first lady? It's a visceral reaction.

    What did she ever do to anybody?

  • Okay, then why are they financing the evil USA and buying billions of dollars worth of weaponry every year?

    That's the EXACT OPPOSITE of "standing for Democracy"

    Kinda weird.

    And that's just the start... financially, they're even worse.

    I can't keep track of every country's evils, but I know for sure the USA is un-Democratic, and I know for sure that EU countries all enable the USA to do so.

    So yeah, if it's "fuck the USA", it's "fuck the EU and NATO", too. Sorry

    If you sit at the table with Nazis, you're a Nazi, right?

  • And this is why we can "officially" be incorrupt, the very act of bribery is endorsed by the State!

    Every time you see the word "donations" or "contributions" just swap it with "bribes".

    Amazon and friends aren't "donating" millions of dollars out of charity.

    Citizens United and Super PACs were the final nails in the coffin, today we are seeing the results of 50 years of unbridled bribery by corporations and robber barons.

    And that's why minimum wage is seven bucks an hour and no universal healthcare and on and on and on and on.

    They do allow us to argue about abortion and gay marriage though, as long as it doesn't affect the bottom line, so that's nice.

  • Agreed, I already know Trump was frequently mentioned and Epstein's buddy for 20 years, and I still want a source for this.

    If it was true, I think the Democrats would have released the files long ago.

    Of course, Clinton was also friends with Trump for years. but for 50 mentions vs. 38K, it seems like it would be worth the reveal to them.

    On other hand, the Royal Family is also working hard to subvert these revelations, and God knows how many billionaire "donators" to bOtH pArTiEs... this is big, biggest political story of any of our lifetimes in my opinion

  • And fuck those who fuel the USA beast, like practically every nation in the EU!

    They enable the USA for a cut of the pie, some with a larger slice than others...

    Being the world's top arms dealer does wonders for profits, their customers are world wide and business is booming. USA has tripled production of firearms alone since 2000, and odds are good that they arm your police and/or military.

    Not one of them "stands for democracy"

  • The death of America precedes him by a generation or three in my opinion, but he nailed the coffin shut!

    A functioning Democracy/Republic would never allow this creature to stay in office since 1985, over 40 years of this nasty piece of work

  • You're not wrong from a citizen's perspective, but you are wrong from a powermonger politico's perspective.

    I agree, they should at LEAST pay taxes, but that doesn't look likely with our current government.

    Prohibiting religions never, ever works, and instead feeds them. They adore martyrdom as a concept, and love sending others to die and "go to Heaven" for their cause.

  • So, you're calling for OTHERS to put their lives on the line, and just want to watch?! Cool cool

    You're calling for others to die for YOUR entertainment, am I here to follow your commands?

    No thanks. I would never ask others to put their lives on the line whilst I do absolutely nothing but boss them from afar.

    But you do you! Takes all kinds, no stepper

  • Sure, I recognize that. I vote Democrat (registered Independent)

    I just don't think it will save us. Or improve anything. I try to think of it as a poll, not something that will affect change.

    Tens of millions think voting will work, tens of millions don't bother, and everything in between. So, to answer your question, "both"

    It's just people... what you've described I've seen everywhere online for decades, from posters at the tiny crypto zoology forum to huge groups of users like FB and Reddit.

    If you're looking for no arrogance and respectful conversations, good luck. I've never seen it and I'm very old.

    If you find "respectful land" give me a head's up, I wanna see it!

    I like the people and moderation much more than Reddit. I've had a couple interactions with mods, and it's so weird, it was like they are actually people or something. Very reasonable comparatively.

    No advertisements for Jesus is pleasant, also. Thanks!
