Hesitation is defeat

  • Another Portuguese, the world is small.

  • If the administration did that, they would have to deal with a coup d'état the next day. 🤣

  • Yeah, but the new Pope may be to the left of Mussolini, so MAGA doesn't like him.

  • Endorkenment sounds quite appropriate!

  • Maybe you should try to move to Canada.

  • Maybe they didn't bend the knee enough.

  • He's a cunt with half a brain, he's the new Mengele. His delusions have already killed people, I don't believe in his supposed good intentions.

    I believe it's more likely that they (this administration, obviously) would change the meaning of the term "autistic" to mean any unwanted person. Basically, the Autist would become the new Jew under Trump's regime.

    Autism has a genetic origin. Even with today's gene therapy techniques, it would not be possible to alter the already formed brains of adults so that they would not be autistic.

    The simplest way to eliminate autism in the population would be to identify all autistic individuals and sterilize them or to genetically modify the zygotes or embryos of autistic individuals, but these, especially the first, have serious ethical implications and completely violate individual freedom. All this not to mention that we would be destroying part of the diversity of Humanity's genotype, which could even have long term consequences that are difficult to predict.

  • Each cancer is almost a disease in itself, due to its own individual nature, for an effective treatment the ideal would be to use personalized medicine, which will always give a lot of money to big pharmaceutical companies, there is no need for them to delay or harm research into cancer treatment.

  • Most of the current Cardinals who are eligible to vote were chosen by Pope Francis, so I think it is likely that the next Pope will be one willing to continue the path taken by Francis. But I don't want to be too optimistic.

  • That's not true at all, even if you want to restrict yourself and only consider direct democracies as true democracies, you have at least Switzerland as an example.

    In Sweden and Denmark, workers can even choose representatives to sit on the board of directors of the companies where they work (however, only for companies with more than 25 or 35 employees).

  • Ending democracy, that's their true goal.

  • Make America Free Again!!!

  • That's the problem, he doesn't want people to have an off time.

  • Why?

  • Look on the bright side, now they can finally get rid of the Orange felon and Muskrat by deporting them to El Salvador! There is no greater threat to US security than them. Right?

  • With ideias like that you sure ain't that different from those white colonialist.

  • China is already an autocracy, which always brings greater stability (the regime cannot drastically change with the result of the next elections), but it also increases the chances of abuse of power. For some it makes little difference, for others it doesn't. For the undecided, the one who offers more in return will win.

    Europe needs to create new industries and develop existing ones, while distancing itself from the world's major powers. But we won't be able to manufacture here at affordable prices, so we could look for alternatives like the countries of North Africa, for example. I think China simply won't be as interested in developing a relationship in this way, since they already produce a lot of goods by themselves. In short, we need to be as generous as possible with our new allies.

  • Unfortunately, there are no guarantees in this world. We do not even have the guarantee here in the EU that we will preserve our democratic systems, that we will not succumb to the far-right, to the neo-Nazis. In Germany alone, in recent polls, the AfD has grown and is now ahead in voting intentions, and the new Coalition government has not even taken office yet. Even seeing all the nonsense and chaos that the Trump administration has sown in America in just a few months, this has not discouraged German voters from a party of the same political line supported and financed by the same group of people. We cannot guarantee that we will not install far-right governments in our potential new allies, we cannot guarantee that they will not be destabilised, exploited or even worse. We cannot even guarantee that we will not do the same to ourselves.

    Preventing this is an eternal battle that requires a certain leap of faith from everyone. This idea, for our own good, must become a fundamental part of our culture! We must unite the Democratic Forces of our countries and theirs in an eternal struggle against tyranny. We just cannot fall into the error of thinking that there are guarantees, this is a false sense of security that allows these far-right movements to grow. You may have even won great battles, but the war always continues. We can at least try to support their development and foster prosperity in good faith, not let them fall behind. Struggle, struggle, struggle ad aeternum!
