The Biden admin and Dems literally tried giving the majority of the people what they wanted and the Reps stopped them to make Biden and the Dems look bad.

We have first past the past voting here, this means we don’t vote based on who we like but rather who is the lesser of two evils.

It makes it easy for good and smart people here to support things like this, even if they don’t want to, because the alternative is worse.

Depends. Everyone who voted against Trump knows this and it’s probably why they did but most non voters and maga are still ignorant.

Maybe but I feel I’ve made it worse sometimes too.

There’s a couple sayings. ‘The smart man sounds like crazy man to the stupid man’ and ‘You can’t win an argument with an idiot’.

As complex as it can be, it usually boils down to that or you just find out they’re rich, selfish, like control, and love schadenfreude.

I think grease is the better example. Interesting. Is it actually feasible to phase out crude oil?

Environmental stability is very important but we should master how we use materials, not discount their usefulness entirely, as that is more empowering to our species.

Like sure we can make oil cars outdated and that may be a good thing, but we’d still use it in grease.

I don’t think were replacing plastic anytime soon but using materials smarter is always nice.

The value of Reddit is the content which it is able to create. If users aren’t free to create content, there is not value.

Yes. As an American I can’t help but think of how difficult and expensive the war on terror was to wage and how not only did we lose but we may have inadvertently help start a global jihad in the future we pissed off the Iranians so bad.

Not to mention how Germany failed to get the UK in WW2 and how without the literal mafia we’d have not taken Sicily and gained a solid foothold in Europe. Even China is hesitant to invade Taiwan and they wrote the fucking art of war.

I think a lot of tyrants like the idea of invasion until they realize how fucking expensive it is to move war equipment across water and that you have the actual mandate behind you, you won’t have competent people with you. Trump doesn’t have that, he didn’t win the popular or by a large margin which is what the mandate requires, no matter how much his admin thinks otherwise.

Yes, you moved to Canada to get away from the US. And yea, a bit.

There’s only one of you and you do not seem like a general to me, just a pissed woman.

It’s not but it is for society to be strong and work well just as it men’s duty to make sure women are doing well too. Seems to me you wanna break the societal contract because you’re a sexist feminist.

Congrats, I hope that works well for you. Sure you left the US shitshow but if you think Canada isn’t one too just wait. Everywhere has shit, humans shit, it’s nature.

Yeah don’t put effort where it isn’t reciprocated that’s a bad deal for men too.

Then you get Trump…. See what I mean? Oof.

No the plan is for you to get that you are a part of society and have a civic duty to treat your people well, that almost half of society is men, and you seem to think it’s okay to discount them. It’s not okay.

I was gonna say no at first but you know what? Yes, in regards to not treating them like shit or passively discriminating against them is your civic duty to ‘fix’ them and keep them from being awful like it is men’s duty to look out women.

Furthermore to be abundantly fucking clear because for some reason not a lot of women get this or think this what I mean, I am not saying go fuck incels, I’m saying what goes around comes around and the more you disempower and shit on men the more extreme the reaction against you will be.

We can’t even start fucking public online groups without some feminist trying to shut them down while y’all are circlejerking about hating men. That’s a big problem.

Yes but that’s not what that was about. It’s like I was trying to warn them, if you don’t treat men better the men will find a way to be treated better with or without your support and if they don’t have you to support them and keep them from their worst selves they may just choose to fuck everything up. History repeats itself.

For real. Transparency makes this work much better than otherwise.

I will never forget 2013 when Putin refused to sign an international agreement saying we won’t use AI in weapons and the rest of the world was on board with it.

I used to have three accounts to manage groupings of subreddits until I was banned for racism for asking lib women to treat white dudes better so an Arab spring like incident doesn’t happen before Trump won.
