Sometimes when I think about US politics, I worry. But then I remember this is a country that had gone through a civil war, numerous scandals, a great depression and dust bowl, two world wars,

  • Okay then, to answer your question: because all US policy has been built on slavery and genocide and theocratic authoritarianism for centuries, and has been trying to control the rest of the planet through forced hegemony since 1945 while trying to eliminate all the curbs on aforementioned abuses since 1980 (and arguably 1973, when Biden took office to join in the fascist backlash). Also. The whole world decided that an expansionist Russia and a fascist Germany were a bad thing but the US is desperately trying to reverse this. So yes, the US should be shat upon relentlessly and with extreme prejudice. Re-read Protist's original statement again.

  • My point was NEVER "we are the only country of concern." That was a cheap MAGAt-style straw man argument. That makes him a liar. He's welcome to try again.

  • Your comment isnt right on the mark; its frustrating because it's nihilist MAGA-style groupthink from an entire class of people who bitch about The Way Things Are then reject all who want to change it. It's like trying to get a sandlot baseball game started but every kid in the neighborhood just whines that baseball is stupid and pointless but bitches that there's nothing to do.

  • From a friend:

    Lesson learned long ago.
    Me in Lutheran grade school at a conference with my mother and the principal and myself.
    Principal: during religious class you've been asking a lot of questions that really aren't appropriate.
    I was shocked What do you mean? He explained I was asking things like how did the animals from America all the way across the world get into Noah's ark? What happened to all the little bugs that live under the rocks and in the ground and stuff like that when it flooded? Why doesn't a miracle happen today when we could document it in the newspapers with photographs and reporting? Why did All the miracles stop?
    Me: but they're true.
    Principal Herb: we understand you're just being honest but you have to stop asking these questions or we'll have to expel you.
