US is about to fall into a semi-fascist state next year, so it’s gonna get way worse
If you are referring to Trump, it’s far from a done deal.
Though some would say that the US has been a fascist state for a while.
Semi-fascist, unarguably, because one of the two political parties is fascist and currently controls the House and Supreme Court.
Some would say that the other party is not much better. Given their close ties to finance, industry and military. And the revolving doors associated with those.
Yup, it matches my observations as well.
Really… hadn’t noticed.
Democracy is the worst form of governance, apart from all others
It’s only the morning where I am, but I think I’ve read the dumbest thing I’m going to read all day.
Next time try not sleeping through your history class champ? That’s a famous historic Churchill quote.
Churchill was a racist idiot and that’s still a dumb quote.
Democracy is a plane with 20 people on it. Nine vote not to crash it and eleven vote to fly it into a mountain, and that means everyone dies because democracy
But if we made you running everything it would be perfect.
That’s the thing with anti-democracy sentiment the people who advocate for it always assume they, or someone who agrees with them on everything, is going to run things. No one imagines themselves in a slave society being a slave.
So instead you choose authoritarianism: 20 people on a plan and one of them shoots the pilot, takes over, and crashes it. Everyone dies.
Yeah, the problems with democracy are rarely solved by less democracy. It just turns into “Instead of many idiots voting to do something stupid, one idiot votes to do something stupid.”
Love how you think that not only are there only two options, but that democracy isn’t also authoritarian. It’s just mob rule instead of an individual.
Why don’t you enlighten us on the other options then? I’d love to hear it.
It’s more like,
- 2 hijackers vote to crash
- 1 votes with the hijackers because they share a hometown
- 2 vote no
- another 2 vote strong no
- the other 12 don’t participate because they don’t want to get too political (we have 40% voter turnout where I live)
and I’ve been through enough elections to see how we are all heading to a crash, every time.
No, nine vote to crash it, seven vote to go left and four vote to go right.
Crashing it is! Thanks, first past the post voting system.
Doesn’t make him right.
Go back to school dude, and this time stay awake during the lecture.
I did not learn that in any of my schooling lol
I did not learn anything in any of my schooling lol
FTFY
Damn, you guys are pretentious as hell in this thread lmao
This is literally said in a “new report” every year of my life. I’m totally desensitized to this.
So the tactics work on you.
You have a fix?
Join and help the organization of your choice that actually wants to do something instead of just tread water.
I donate to UNISEF and Wikipedia and write my congressperson. That’s all I have in the tank.
Funny that Politico are the ones reporting on this… given the fact that they’re owend by Axel Springer
That’s not about just O, T and E etc really.
It’s about the average Westerner just loving to blabber about realpolitik and subjective interests on the subject of enabling richer and stronger cannibals against poorer and weaker humans.
And also about democratic countries having no immunity against foreign states buying their politicians and officials and the general population not really caring.
Jailing for life a few people who’ve been paid by Qatar, Azerbaijan, Russia, Israel etc would do wonders as an example to the rest.
Bombing their infrastructures when they start wars would also be nice. Most don’t have WMD. Not for the realpolitikers, of course, that would have negative strategic and economical effect, but if your goal is preserving democracy and civilization, then there are plenty of places to be bombed right now without dancing all the quadrilles.
Wtf did I just read?
I’m pretty sure they want America to bomb Russia.
Which specific part is hard for you to understand? I’ve made a few shortcuts.
Well, of course it is. You all blatantly threw out human rights because you were afraid after 9/11 and because of covid. 🤦
9/11, yes, but what human rights did we lose from covid? Having to wear a mask for a while? Or being heavily encouraged to get a vaccine? …
I was in grade school during 9/11. What rights did you lose out on because of covid?
All of them. Literally all of them, as you lost many thanks to the reactionary assholes after 9/11 who demanded the near-complete dismantling of the 4th amendment to make themselves feel safe from their Muslim neighbors.
Shit rolls downhill.
Re-read what the comment you replied to is asking.
Read what I’m saying and then talk. Or just parrot pro-lockdown talking points you let yourself get brainwashed with so I know to ignore you. Your choice
Still haven’t answered their question. Disregard 9/11. What rights has COVID taken away? “All of them” is not an acceptable answer, be specific.
They didn’t ask a question, they said “Re-read what the comment you replied to is asking.” When they’re the one who lacks reading comprehension.
But you sure prove my point that you destroyed the United States of America because you chose fear over hope and courage in the face of tragedy and don’t give a damn about the consequences of your actions or the lives you destroyed. You prove it real well.
You still haven’t answered my question. What rights did you explicitly lose because of covid?
