I’m optimistic about US economy and pessimistic about what Trump foreign policy does to ongoing wars.

My point was - people may have consistency in words and actions, but not between words and actions.
I just had a comparison between Musk and Henry Ford pop up.
And a thought, that enshittification doesn’t hurt us, them too.
Such people then were capable of organizing efficient mass production with the capital. Now Tesla exists because of SpaceX PR success.
Musk is not that dumber than Ford.
The majority didn’t agree that everyone has critical flaws, that was going on for half a century, thus a society for perfect people was built. Everyone has critical flaws and everything has. Difference between programs and laws of 1950 and now is similar, but not computers and humans.
Hence libertarianism, with nested, parallel and relative legal systems.
Not just this, I’m not sure if they checked about LGBT rights in China.
From outside the first world Trump and his supporters look scandalist, loud, corrupt and incompetent. Which is sad. But they don’t seem fascist most of the time.
Anyway, if we take Putin, he’s done many things, one thing he’s consistently never done is say antisemitic or easily recognizable fascist things. There is some popularity of Ivan Ilyin around him, who is a Russian emigrant fascist philosopher, though (who apparently wanted to fix problems with Mussolini and the own such “thinkers” of the White movement, except he was on the dumber side, so compared to his writings Mein Kampf seems intellectually elegant).
And no true Goth could invade Italy, and no true Frank could invade Gaul, and no true Englishman could settle in Ireland. Yep, that’s how it works.
Technically you’re an Imperial, so invasions are not a very bad thing?
Anyway, why is everyone seriously discussing Trump’s promises, has the Mexican wall been built? That seems an easier task than just annexing a few countries, let alone from the golden billion.
And Ukraine is nothing big for rare earths.
The US economy gets nuked every 8-12 years
Reminds me of that Hashek quote about “sir, you’ve taken the pollen of my innocence” from a girl whose shoulder a boy touched.
Anyway, maybe you’re right.
Neither did I, turns out that yes and you are the clown. Why - because you’ve used a long comment for the sole purpose of “friend-or-foe” determination. I dunno how to call people doing that. If all this was incomprehensible for you - I’m not a conservative.
Conservatives have a hard time believing someone like that isn’t getting rich quick on $AOCCoin or LeftyBear merch offerings.
Being dishonest you have a bigger selection of instruments to gain power. So politicians are more likely to be dishonest than the average person. And then a dishonest person would use the opportunity.
Anyway, cool for AOC to be honest, but unfortunately her views (specifically support of MMT) are a certain way to nuke the economy of the USA.
If we detach ourselves from the emotional part (suicides, hunger deaths), it may even be liberating, if USD as a currency takes a 10000x inflation in a year or so, while big businesses reliant on American system of connections grown by decades of stability die. US main capital is still human capital, competent people and their knowledge. No hyperinflation will kill that, if recovery is quick enough.
Except that’s not the way people like AOC promise.
Government-ordered shutdowns do not work the way you think. Government doesn’t play by the rules, it makes rules for itself.
Which means - they may, say, make a list of instances updated hourly, which automatically get blocked by ISPs.
Free speech or not, it won’t withstand such.
Telegram is the least secure thing there is. Not only it’s complete zero effort security, it’s also much above zero effort to advertise itself as almost secure. Not a good combination as you know.
I was just joking, but you forgot to say that this
kicking the shit out of people
can be made more specific, they were regularly kicking the shit out of Germans. Germans were the suffering side saying “thanks for punishing me, master” for most of those years. Not even counting, obviously, Normans kicking the shit out of English.
Make a product line of electric guillotines? And dogfood with Musk.
Anyway, the French revolution is not considered a one-sided success.
In copyright protection terms the ratio shouldn’t matter. They should pay for all the lost profits from pirating everything they’ve downloaded. Every time someone pirated it should be counted. And every time someone uses the AI trained on the data.
They can become the corporate Jesus of the interwebs, having paid for our sins.
That’s a bit too much. That’s a country with Gallipoli battles being matter of national myth, right? And they use it the way of praising WWI Ottomans as a worthy enemy. That’d be Young Turks, that’d be the genocide of Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks in those very years.
Jail for a salute seems a bit unbalanced.
Most of their land you mean? EU yes, Europe has many definitions
Germany lost, so it won’t be funny for them.
They were not so thoroughly defeated to be utterly crushed. And you forgot that the North wasn’t too different.
That one group of people today chooses one role model from the past, and the other another, doesn’t mean anything here is about the past. Not that past anyway, Reagan perhaps.
About Germany - it was divided in two parts, one received your proposed treatment, another didn’t (the baddies were in fact given a lot of important posts and weren’t really prosecuted, also till early 70s polls showed the opinion that National Socialism is a good ideology as pretty common). One has a lot of neo-Nazis and conservatives now, another doesn’t. The one that didn’t receive your treatment doesn’t. This shows that you can’t force people to think the way you want.
