No, most robbers come when you are on holiday and don’t murder you. Not going to follow that elaborate allegory any further but good one 👍

It’s a pissant country, it surely cannot run the military industrial complex.

From my European perspective it’s good to have a weapons industry: for one thing the automotive industry is fucked now and we have a need for defense because of the brave new multipolar world that some people here are so fond of.

So pros and cons for the military industrial complex certainly. I am not fond of the military interventions of the last 20 or so years, I need to add that.

Not having Afghanistan and not disturbing the order in the middle east would have been better.

They don’t own it now and won’t get justice in the future

There seems to be some correlation between lemmy.ml and shit takes. So strange…🤔

How does anyone profit from the genocide?

They edited him out and put some people in. Couldn’t this be the case? There is never going to be an unedited list and I think the strategy is to fuck around with it until no one believes it anymore or people pick out what they want to believe or not.

They muddied the waters, mission accomplished.

Honestly it looks like an improvement but probably any beard would.

What would help more is him stopping drinking and having a discernable neck again.

So much for beauty tips for Alex Jones

No I am not defending some genocide that any non-communist nation has ever been responsible for. That’s how you seem to define capitalist driven. Check your cognitive biases there. I do not defend the British empire nor the Roman empire, nor the Ottoman empire nor the third Reich.

About the dissolution of the USSR who’s fault is it that it happened how it did? How much mismanagement and corruption is inherent within the communist system? Modern day examples are pretty high on the corruption index.

They mechanized and industrialized plus had health care. The rest of the world did that too.

The times you are citing are also the most totalitarian under Stalin. With lots of purges etc. so not substantially better than living under the nazis. If you are starving, you are starving.

So what was that holodomor thing about, harmless right? Great leap forward also awesome did not kill anyone. Good talk man…

I think that violence is inevitable which is what you are saying between the lines.

A couple years ago these stories broke that ultra rich are prepping for doomsday scenarios like in mad max where some horde is trying to storm their compound and they just defend themselves until everything blows over.

They do not plan on having most of humanity around. The time to stop them is now, not when everything is lost and they hide in their bunker.

The left gained a lot but mostly from the green party. Afd voters are lumpenproletariat that is unable to read. If they could read they would not vote against their interests.

What do you think about Russia Ukraine in today’s context? Thanks

Correction for you: the last government was heavily criticized by the media about the most absurd things nonstop for years.

The media could have used all this energy to write against the afd and we would have a different result now. Apparently it was more important to shit on a left wing liberal government than to save democracy.

Our worst chancellor since 1945 used the program of the afd as his own to keep them small. This never works. This always legitimizes right wing populist parties and does not weaken them.

The current government may not even last 4 years and then its pro Putin fascists in power.

Do you have a country for me to fuck off to in a few years.

Any stable democracies?

Ran out of meth now he is “straight“

Isn’t your Bible quote about stuff that never happened? Israelites never conquered anything they are the Canaanites

Did I read this right conservatives could face censorship? His problem is that it could backfire on them later?

Are they doing this checks and balances thing now that’s actually their job? Wild!

No Greenland, Panama or the Gulf of Mexico in it. 2/5 there was so much potential.

“Bababiba and Albania” would be more correct.

Honestly I have IRL morons claiming Trump ended these wars in Azerbijan and Armenia and also in Kongo or some other African country.

Me telling them this was just Trump doing nothing and being there for the photo in the white house was not accepted.

Also apparently whataboutism by me when I ask about these wars in Ukraine and Gaza that were supposed to be ended.

Good that some people somewhere put down their rusty AKs and pitchforks for some amount of time don’t get me wrong. But next level cope to say he ends wars.

Maybe he meant it differently? I cannot imagine the Trump self awareness thing. Maybe he lost more of his filter than before due to age?
