A part of me finds some satisfaction knowing that as things get worse there will be at least one terminally online MAGA idiot that goes to show support for ICE and gets fucking black bagged regardless just because they were at some protest.
It would require them actually leaving their house. But, it's bound to happen at some point.
Yes. "Papers Please" was not because the Nazis gave a fuck about your papers. It was just a means of keeping average Germans under the illusion that there was still some type of order and "system" that respected them. "As long as I comply I will be fine".
Not how it worked then and not how it works now. If the SS troop doesn't like you; that's all that matters.
You aren't going to "logic and reason" your way out of it. You are not a part of the team - even if you love ICE and Trump. They don't give a fuck.
Hey. We have more than protesting we can do. We can go to the grocery store and cry. We can scroll through social media feeds filled with Nazi propaganda. We can go into medical debt because we twisted our ankle at work. We can gamble on stock. We can gamble on sports. We can gamble on whether or not a streamer wear shorts. Really, most of what we can do is gamble and hope we win enough to get the fuck out of here.
America. It's all going to shit and we're apparently taking you all with us.
It's half true. Yes, technically Greenland is a part of Europe. And yes, Europeans are white people. But, most of the people in Greenland are indigenous and not white. So, really, stealing land and resources from nonwhite people is EXACTLY what the US military has been trained to do. So, I think they'll be well prepared for it.
Unfortunately we have to somehow weather this storm until at least November.
To be clear, I don't think the elections (if they happen) will change anything. BUT, I can tell you a lot of liberals that would otherwise be radicalized are holding onto this idea that "democracy will save us". They will not be able to see reality until that hope comes crashing down. And even then many will still be in denial.
But we'll see a spike in radicalization come next Christmas. If we all survive long enough for that.
Did you cut my sentence off midway to change it's meaning and then reply to that? I've never seen that level of stupid. Wow. Thanks for the laugh I guess.
Are they hoping people will see how garbage it is and fix it for free? Seriously. The "for you" page on Twitter is a joke. It's been awful garbage for awhile now.
Yeah. Why not just make things easier by taking a representative sample of the population instead?
Oh, who decides that the sample is representative?
There are a reason polls are not always accurate. But at least those try to get a good sample. But you want random people appointed to government? Who the fuck thinks this is how selecting people should work? Are you ok OP?
You think therw is corruption now? Let's just let an algorithm randomly sample people that don't want to be in government to be our representatives! What could go wrong?!
Why do people keep trying to "fix" a democracy who's main problem is capitalism. Just to avoid that as the problem?
If it's true - fuck that old piece of shit. Should lose his position.
Edit: Damn, a guy can't just make a comment on a meme? I said "if it's true". I really don't care to look into it more than that. It's ok. You don't have to tell me I'm technically wrong because they got fired by someone else for the tweet. Still an asshole move for someone just celebrating.
Good luck mate. I wish you were right. I really do.
The curse of being a Marxist is that I'm right; but too early. You can save this comment if you want. We can reflect on it in a year or two when your leaders have failed miserably to put up any defense against the American empire.
The American empire is dying. You are right. But if you think it dies without taking every western country with it; well, you don't understand how the last 30 years have worked. Or history in general. You aren't living outside of history, you can't run from what happens when an angry empire lashes out. I'd be preparing and not ignorantly thinking you will weather the storm without any preparation.
I'm sorry. But you are incredibly ignorant of how the world works and have far too much faith in your social democratic policies that will be the first to be cut as the world changes. You'll see in another year or two. You should be organizing resistance to this change. Not blindly trusting your superior system.
Good luck mate. Maybe you'll remember this a year from now as you start to notice the decline.
Just a normal result of development. Going from 10% to 5% in a growing economic system like China is entirely normal and expected. But it is refreshing to not see a click bait headline for these numbers for once.
Edit: for those wondering. Imagine a country with no electrical grid produces a major grid in a year. This would undoubtedly increase economic growth substantially in that year. So the next year would look to be significantly worse by comparison in terms of the rate of growth. That is essentially what I'm talking about.
You should always be skeptical of headlines that refer to the rate of change in something. It would be like looking at a high speed train and saying "the rate of speed has not increased in the last 30 minutes!" all while traveling at a constant speed of 300 kmph that entire time.
