Instant pivot from 'its a discussion board' to whining and insulting tells me you are yes.

Scared potter?

Block away. I can do this all day. Dude you can't even spell correctly, are you from a ghetto or do you just wanna sound like it?

Also don't try and worm out: you said it's for discussion. So discuss. Actually I'm bored now.

Hope you feel better sausage x

It's a place for discussion as you said. If you can't handle it without getting angry and whining maybe go back to Reddit.

English is my first language. I was a US citizen. I gave it up for tax reasons when I left.

Ooh babys getting angry.

Actually that is a different comment chain. A different comment in this particular board.

You don't know what thread means do you?

I thought discussion is what we're here for? You seem to be getting upset.

Yes I am sure. You suggested my rejection of your idea and comparison is why the US is like it is now. Hence the joke.

Okay fine. They're both bad. Which would you rather have won in 2024 now?

I think you've fallen for a classic 'if left/centre not perfect might as well burn the house down' fallacy personally but we'll agree to disagree.

Ah now it makes sense. So which part of the discussion was you frantically searching my comment history for some kind of win?

Sad.

Bitch please. Who'd want to be a US citizen. The others are locked in there with tools like you.

Meanwhile in free roaming European: were laughing at you morons for electing a king.

And what makes you think you need to be an inmate to talk about the joint?

I really don't know where this good guy idea or narrative comes from besides propaganda and Hollywood obviously.

It's such a short lived nation and during that time it's conducted a genocide(s) of natives, coups of democratically elected governments, war on almost every continent on earth. It's the only nation ever to nuke two cities of civilians. It created a 'war on drugs' to incarcerate blacks. Has the highest prison (legally slaves) population of any western nation 1.8 million!!. It forced neoliberalism on Europe and the west in general. Had and has the highest per capita carbon impact in the world. Actively suppressed climate change knowledge and mitigation research the world over. Oh yea and chemical weapons on the Vietnamese, rape and torture of detainees and civilians.

And that's just a few tid-bits and not including anything the orange one has done and will do.

I'm not saying other nations are spotless. The US has done some great things but clearly it's institutions are fragile and it can only do great things in brief periods e.g. where it dominated the world economically and industrially after WW2. Reading the history of the US it is just a faster version of European powers development. Nothing special and it's got a king back after all that bleating on about freedom.

I liked the USA as a child. I love the idea of it but the reality is nowhere near that idea and further everyday. It's just another banana republic and we unfortunately have to watch the fire sale.

Interesting. I didn't know I had a say in US politics being 5000 miles away and not a citizen. I'll be sure to smarten my ideas up. Send marine force 2 or whatever to pick me up and I'll sort that shit show out for you once I kick trump in the balls/face.

Also there's literally only one other option so yea of course it's compared to the opposition. That's how the system is setup.

Nonsense. Disappointed this gets upvotes.

How the hell are the democrats the party of enriching the wealthy when compared to the fucking R's?? I mean fucking hell have any of you ever read a book or even glanced at historic and current R policy?

You've got to step back a little to understand.

The key thing is that it is not possible (excluding inheritance) to become a billionaire without being a scheming psychopathic cut-throat selfish person and having a determined drive to have power over others.

The second key is it's not possible to keep your billions without being a psychopath. This because you could never possibly spend that money in your lifetime and the only way to have accumulated it is through exploitation of labour.

So it's a thing you don't need that you got via abusing others. They want power and they don't care how they get it. They have no plan beyond that. Personally I think it's mental health issues and the fact that we allow this in our flawed system.

It's a tale as old as time. They don't see themselves as the 'bad' gays or Jews or whatever that their leaders and other Republicans/Torys/Religions etc hate. They think they'll be spared because they're special. All the way to the camps they believe this.
