I agree with others below that the GOP is at the limit of what they can get their followers to believe in once they can’t eat. Most are already suffering, and expect a quick turn around. Instead, we’re about to get Great Depression 2: Trumps BS Boogaloo. The violence that follows will overwhelmingly be directed at those that control every branch of the government with an iron grip and failed to make anything better despite it. Historically, this has always been the course of events.

If your decision is between voting for someone that associates with the worst, most ineffective, and cruel politicians in our modern era, or someone else, you vote for someone else.

Evil people lie, and most of them have the money to get social media influences to lie with them, so you won’t know their angle until it’s too late to stop them. Like project 2025.

Also, no offense, but why would you even possibly entertain voting for someone who is clearly backed by a lunatic that wants to literally invade and annex your country?

Not believing this is a viable threat to your sovereignty is the most dangerously naive you could be.

One of your choices will unquestionably make it easier for Canada to become a US state. Don’t pick that candidate unless you’re prepared for that result.

They do. Because they already got away with making the US fail to realize a whole bunch. About project 2025. About Trump. School shootings. Class solidarity. Etc. The US is pliable because 50% of the country just needs someone on Fox to tell them how okay it is for them to get fucked, and they’ll just let it happen.

Problem is, there are clear limits on how far this can be pushed. And these idiots are just about to discover what those limits are. But they are without question idiots, and certainly stupid enough to not see how this is going to effect them.

As an American, don’t be naive. Trump said he had nothing to do with project 2025, and now it’s 40% complete in just 3 months in office. Everyone on the right side of politics isn’t to be trusted in this era. They are all absolutely full of shit, and will unquestionably align with Trumps insanity. Name a single one that hasn’t.

By all means, explain to me how Americans are supposed to fight against decades of wrong-think being bought and paid for by the richest people alive.

America is in the situation we’re in because money is power and those with the most of it decided to slowly take over this country. If 90% of the people here could unify, they still wouldn’t have the resources of the 30 billionaires controlling their tech and media narrative.

You better have a good answer of what to do when this happens again because based on the world wide rise of this kind of disinformation, it’s only a matter of time before it happens to your country too. Assuming your safe is the only short sighted thing America did in this situation.

So I wouldn’t be delighting in the strength these enemies showed in defeating the US, because it’s just a matter of time before they come for you next. And if the US didn’t stop them, you better be learning how.

Because this evil isn’t localized to the US.

Tesla spent two decades building it’s brand only to lose world wide appeal in a matter of weeks.

There is a very clear trend in what Elon touches turning to shit.

X is clearly not recovering to its previous highs.

And Tesla is likely now fucked too.

Simply because neither of these companies have a path forward to reaching the value they had without a worldwide consumer base. Supply and demand determine value and both of these companies shifted their demand base from billions of people world wide to millions of people brainwashed in the US.

The active consumer base for both products is now American, and only so much value can be extracted from Americans compared to the entire world.

Add in a pending US economic crisis to that smaller user base of both companies, and there’s absolutley no hope either survive or recover to the value they previously had.

Invest in either if you want to lose money in the long run. Otherwise short both.

Very well said, especially the snake oil comparison.

You’re half right.

We absolutley and without question have the money, resources, and infrastructure to supply the world with what it needs.

However, 90% of those resources are owned by individuals, not countries.

In order to accumulate this wealth, they have exploited millions, usually through government bribes, or capturing entire political parties outright.

Now that sharing their hoarded wealth is essential for human survival, they are choosing to disrupt any conversation about it. Socialism and the “left” way of thinking - to provide resources where they are best needed - is dangerous to their wealth, so they’ve spent millions on preserving it at the cost of preserving humanity.

That’s what you’re seeing across the globe. Selfish narcissists that care more about themselves than humanity.

There’s a truly great indie beat-em-up RPG with Brian David Gilbert that just released called: INK INSIDE and it’s on sale for $15.

It’s because billionaires are pussies. They will get upset over the slightest inconvenience, or insult, because the money they have has insulated them from the consequences of their actions.

They’re so used to being praised, and getting their way with everything, that the thought of people not like liking them upsets them greatly.

And the dislike is warranted because most billionaires use their money to buy social credit instead of earning it. They don’t add anything to society, they just pay as much as they can to get artificial praise from it.

For example, Musk bought X, and used it to promote his own BS to make himself popular.

Alternatively, the idiot could have simply rented a blimp and thrown the same 44 billion out of it all across America.

That would without question make him more popular than X has, to the point where people would likely build statues of him.

Instead, he cowers in fear of the word CIS on Twitter because it hurts his feelings.

Now, since he can’t remove the word CIS from reality, he gets scared people will hate him for expressing that desire. And they should hate him, because that opinion can only be formed in a bubble where you don’t experience reality. Aka extreme wealth.

Billionaires use their money to remove themselves from the consequences of their actions.

Free speech is the easiest way to express what those consequences would be in a more natural order.

They fear the violence their greed and behavior has created. They’re just too stupid to understand how one leads to the other.

Reddit is proof of how sensitive they are to this fear. The simplest gesture of protest can go a long way to upset them. Because they’re huge cowards.

I’m surprised I had to scroll this far to see Jinjer! Seriously impressive vocals, and absolutley one of my favorite female metal vocalists.

Oh hell yeah. Thank you for this! I was unaware of the insult. Great to learn, and much appreciate the info! Glad to know you’re fighting the good fight as well. That was a great time hilariously good exchange you had with them. You called it out perfectly haha

I’m aware. I got them to shut up. And I distracted them from doing whatever the FSB tasked them with.

They only way you can fight trolls like that is by wasting their time. Hopefully in a way they realize their work isn’t worth the pay.

(But appreciate the heads up!)

Covid is not gone in the US. Here’s the CDC data:

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home

Thousands are still dying from it every day in March of 2025. Largly due to the poor adoption rate of the vaccine due to propaganda.

Good job admitting you’ve turned a blind eye to thousands dying every day. The loss of life only counts when it isn’t American lives right?

You’re a really great example of the effects of propaganda making anyone intolerant.

But do go on about the spending. Maybe you can figure out how much each American death costs Russia per capita, and compare it to how much they spent to make you apathetic about it.

We are no longer in the nuclear age.

We are in the information age, post social media.

The reasons we don’t nuke each other into oblivion are no longer memories people hold. Most of them are now gone, and their memories with them.

Peace and how it’s maintained are just words on paper now. And these words now compete against billions of others on social media.

China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, etc all have entire buildings full of bad actors firehosing disinformation into every space built by a democratic nation to keep peace.

This disinformation has already, in less than 10 years, unquestionably destabilized the US. Who have not stopped embarrassing themselves on the world stage since. Trumps Covid policies killed millions of Americans, and disinformation got him reelected.

The massive loss of American life didn’t stop disinformation from convincing Americans that Trump wasn’t responsible for his own Covid response. Instead, they voted for him again, and now he’s placed a TV personality in charge of our military who is actively talking about leaving NATO and invading Greenland and Canada because he’s an idiot. But he’s in charge of our military, so that idiot is going to get whatever he wants.

And the people that voted for Trump honestly believe this is a good idea because of disinformation.

It’s just a matter of time before nukes are likewise a good idea because of disinformation.

Death and suffering no longer matter in the face of this level of disinformation. Just like it didn’t matter to Americans that millions of them died because they elected a reality TV personality into office. Despite this being an obvious fact, the majority of the US will now literally fight you for thinking it.

The security you think you have is an illusion from an age we no longer live in.

Russia and friends are spending billions of resources into firing the disinformation hose at everything democratic.

What do you think they’re hoping to gain from it?

The US has already fallen victim to it. Their military, which used to be the backbone of the UN and NATO can no longer be depended on. Europe’s military defenses will be crippled by nearly 70% if the US leaves NATO.

And thats what the US is actively talking about, encouraged by Russia. With the EU responding as if it’s a real threat by discussing a new government body that replaces NATO without the US.

The EU is acting like this is already the case.

You are being naive if you think all this disinformation is just for fun. It’s targeted. It’s in EVERY democratic election from the US to Canada, to France, to Germany, and it’s gaining traction.

The peace you described as normal has been decreasing exponentially across the world for the past decade for this VERY reason, and you want to think these countries are just doing it for fun?

No shit.

Is it only the biggest spender of propaganda that makes them bad? Or is all propaganda bad? Maybe it’s what propaganda does to a country that’s the problem.

You know - just like how the propaganda Trump used for his US Covid response killed more Americans than anywhere else in the world. Actually, it’s now killed more Americans than all the wars they’ve ever faught in combined.

That’s the propaganda I’m fighting. Mostly because it killed friends and family.

My country is now radicalized not just into voting away their own rights, but their own lives. The dead and suffering are now ignored by the corporate controlled media, to the point where Trump was elected again despite fucking up everything he ever touched and killing over a million citizens.

Russia is now targeting Canada and Europe using these same tactics, and if those citizens are too resilient, well thankfully he’s about to step over Ukraine to get there too.

But sure, let’s talk about who’s spending money on propaganda instead of what each kind of propaganda is doing to the world. Definitley makes for a good strawman.

I’m talking about them like the heroes holding back WW3 that they are. What’s your excuse?

I’m already doing my part to try and unfuck the US from aligning with Putin to pick the corpse of Europe clean when they’re done with it.

If I fight in this war, it will be to take my country back from the Russian bullshit that’s taken it over.

Russia is doing the same across all western countries and elections. They are in an active war with Ukraine at Europe’s footsteps, and NATO is on the verge of collapse because of the US’s withdrawal after aligning with Putin.

You are naive to believe Russia will stop there after weakening everything protecting Europe.

You are no different than everyone who thought Hitler would just magically stop after Poland

The US has the biggest military in the world followed by China. None of those are Europe.

Remember how WW2 wasn’t just Germany? How they got the help from Japan of all places because of their mutual hatred for China?

The US now hates NATO as much as Russia and is looking to leave / destroy it from within.

It doesn’t really matter if Russia is running out of troops and /equipment if their allies have more than the rest of the world combined several times over.

Russia just has to make it through Ukraine, and the rest of the bad guys in the world will unite to take Europe apart for their own gain.

It’s what happened in WW2 to keep Germany going, and it will absolutely happen again.

You’re basically acting like France in WW2. And they laughably got bulldozed simply because like you, they weren’t convinced there was a greater threat despite Poland already getting attacked. Now Ukraine is getting attacked, and you don’t seem to care why or what it motivating their assault. There is a much bigger game being played than you are refusing to understand, and your attitude of running from the bigger obvious threat to talk about trivial smaller ones that have literally no possible positive outcome is naive at best.

History repeats itself, and so do the idiots who think peace is the norm like you.

Answering your question is meaningless because you are taking sides over a drop of blood that’s holding back an ocean of it.

But to answer it regardless:

No, forcing people back into a war zone is a bad thing.

No shit.

They left Ukraine in the first place because they were either unwilling or unable to fight that war, and moving them back into a war zone they escaped is beyond cruel. To that point - they are NOT being forced to return by Ukraine or Zelensky. Rather by Russia’s ally, the US.

They left because they wouldn’t or couldn’t help the war, so their forced participation in it by the US likely won’t help much.

It would be nice if you cared more about the obvious growing threat to the world, rather than how the only people fighting it are somehow not doing it to your taste.

Unless you like the taste of blood, you better hope they fucking win.

Let me explain this simply so you understand the point I am making:

What would you have Ukraine do? Slow down their conscription? Stop it entirely?

Alright, heres the game theory results on how changing their conscription rates will effect this war and it’s consequences:

Outcome 1: No changes to conscription, Ukraine wins the war. Russia leaves their territory.

Result: hundreds of thousands of dead, you get to complain about how many died from conscription. Most importantly, this war doesn’t reach Europe.

Because once it does, all those images of war you’ve seen will get much much worse, and the body count much much higher.

This is the likely outcome of all our other options.

Outcome 2: Ukraine changes their conscription laws. Less are forced to enroll to defend their country. Their population is MAGNITUDES smaller than Russias, so without the broader conscription laws, they no longer have a fighting force large enough to withstand the endless wall of North Korean and Russian meat being thrown at them.

Result 2: Russia steam rolls Ukraine. Gets a foot hold on Europe. Declares war on NATO. Starts WW3 and likely the end of peace and modern civilization as we know it. Death toll in the millions, and lots of worse war pictures for you to clutch your pearls about.

But hey, Ukraine no longer exists, so you don’t have to be critical of their rough conscription laws anymore!

Outcome 3: Ukraine loses the war anyway. The above happens anyway.

Result 3: Again. No reason to be critical of their conscription laws, because they don’t exist as a country now.

Sure, it would have been nice if they had a fighting force large enough to stop Russia’s push into NATO and Europe. Especially considering the force that has historically stood up to this bullshit on the world stage, the US, has now broke bad and aligns with Russia.

Ukraine is not just defending themselves. They are defending the entirety of Europe and NATO, which is why there’s so many emergency meetings being held by both to help them.

Point being. Ukraine conscription is a necessary evil to prevent the worst outcome of Russias actions. If you want to be critical about death and war, then maybe understand how worse WW3 would make all of this, and how Ukrainian conscription is literally the biggest thing holding it back.

Because that’s how NATO and the Ukraine see it. And that’s how you should see it too. Thinking otherwise, that this isn’t a very likely threat, is to ignore the death toll that’s been rising for years.

Ukraine conscription is to prevent that death toll from being all across Europe.

Let me explain this simply so you understand the point I am making:
