Shhhh these kids only heard about Palestine 2 years ago and anything that happened before that is irrelevant! I just came from a post where they were advocating for Palestine to have nukes to deter the USA. Your history has no power here!

I believed the USA was a liberal democracy full of concerned citizens. I also had faith in the financial system at one point!

An independent democracy who choices its fate at the voting polls every year in November…… surely they won’t suffer for their actions! Yes it’s unfair to judge a country by their civic action over the last 100 years.

Umm do you want to break those numbers down for the bottom 75% or earners? Or the median? I believe that is just the billionaire holding up the statistic that the Fed is presenting. Also, those numbers were in billions representing the whole country not an individual in thousands……

I still believe the time old tale, no one bothers North Korea because the humanitarian crisis it would cause… they don’t have a scary amount of nukes. Nor do they have the means to deliver them to us.

Lot of people in this sub really don’t understand nuclear doctrine or MAD. They don’t just make enemy’s go away, they just make them point more nukes at you…

Like is Palestine going to nuke us or Israel in your fantasy?

Yes more nukes for all! Let everyone fight over old land disputes too! If we remember the history of Afghanistan, we know that nuclear weapons were crucial in their efforts to topple the USSR and the USA!

Wait a second. I’m in Maine, and I have Susan Collins® as a senator and Janet mills(D) as a governor, soon to be running for that senate seat. Guess which one has an open for line for constituents to call? The answer is unfortunate.

“Her laugh bro”

At least when it was Hillary there was valid criticism of warmongering and Wall Street pandering / bribes. Getting people to vote based on her laugh really shows the type of citizens we’re dealing with. They probably love this article!

It’s just insane to think these guys built their whole livelihood around government land and a healthy ecosystem; and then vote against both those issues every time.

How much money do you think the median American takes home these days with cost of living and suppressed wages? -2000 in credit card debt once the budget gets tallied?

The Chinaman is not the issue dude.

And please Asian American is the preferred nomenclature

Think about this, we made major advancements politically and culturally during 2006-2016, especially in regards to LGBTQ rights and then the voters turn Trans people into a single issue ticket and vote for trump 12 years in a row. They turned you into a woke boogie man and campaign against you specifically and now we live in a fucking Nazi hell hole.

Na that’s a pretty common reaction to the SWJ language policing. Most oppressed minorities want their equal rights; not a mob or privileged kids virtue signaling and alienating them further 🌈

I would say “the Chinese invented many things in the last two millennia.” And “China is constantly posturing against Taiwan” to separate the people from their government.

“The Chinese” doesn’t have to be racist it can just include all the people of the region across all times. It can be a bit ignorant but doesn’t flag maliciousness

I don’t remember much of Sanders in 2020. It was 2016 when he was a front runner. The DNC said “it’s her turn” and went with Hillary. The sanders voters went with Joe Rogan and trump. I really don’t remember Bernie being a strong candidate in 2020 like he was in 2016.

Well that opens up like 3 layers of this onion you dropped on my plate. See I didn’t even have to straw man you! The stereotypes are working on overdrive for me. Holy shit. What can I even say that hasn’t been said at length. If you are American then why would you not use the American use of the word Karma? like popularized on the internet, commonly used for the last 20 or so years Karma. The one an average American would identify with and not the hindu translation. You sure hold a lot of US pride for someone who doesn’t understand US context on popular language? ‘instant karma’ there is no way you exist in America and don’t understand the context I was using.

Are you American bro? Like are you here right now while we are scrapping science for theology? You’re going to brag about some shit your great grandparents did while it gets flushed down the toilet. Get a grip lmao our nation is in an irreversible state of decline that we get to preside over. Buckle up ur gonna need to be tougher than this comment suggests.

All that rabid American pride in the current climate makes me sick tho big chief. look in the mirror we don’t value human rights at home or abroad. Anyone can make a joke at americas expense. especially right now, but I still got my second amendment to protect my first. Would you like to know more? You seem to already know what I think but I’d happily elaborate why I made that comment. Your original assumption in your straw man left you looking pretty ridiculous so I’d love to see you try to pivot.

and I literally said none of that I guess if you understood US china relations from 1980- present you would have maybe detected the comedic irony there. I bet ur really fun at parties.
