We still have allies we can call on as long as we get rid of the orange. THAT is where the problem comes. We have to deal with this shit on our own. Nobody is coming to help Americans regardless of sides. China has no interest in helping us and they have us by the balls. They know that American manufacturing is weak and we have literally nothing to counter it.

Protests? We're less than a week from martial law. The time for beliefs of peaceful protest is done.

Honestly, I'm done trying to work with Republicans.

It is definitely kidnapping. But it's more than that. It's human trafficking and genocide.

And threaten bukele within an inch of his life. Then end it regardless.

Trump is surrounded by people who didn't make their wealth. This is why it's such a disaster. Someone who was handed everything has no fucking clue about what life is actually like. And ya know what? I'm fucking sick and tired of subsidizing billionaires. Sure, someone who built an empire? Yeah maybe they could run a government but these aren't those people. These are people who have never done anything. Like, nothing at all. Every single person in this administration was born into wealth and is trying to kill us for more of it.

Which is incredibly stupid economically and militarily. The fuck are we going to do if we fought an all out war against China? Yeah we have the bigger fleet and top 2 air forces. But without China's minerals and processing capabilities, we're stuck fighting a war with only the equipment we have now with no ability to replace it. There is no winning this, none at all. Especially while alienating literally all of our trade partners.

Sad isn't it? We're not there quite yet, but a lot of us are about to be put into camps or murdered. Honestly I gotta say, I'm not a fan.

Have you seen him recently? Sometimes he neglects the orange deck stain, and his skin is grey and ghoulish. I swear if he didn't have some necromancer keeping him alive, he'd have died 20 years ago.

Also, are you indigenous?

Alright well then that does go to my American ignorance because we often lump you in with Australia, apologies for that.

Edit: however, I would also say that that doesn't have anything to do with geographical knowledge.

You didn't answer the question. Where are you from? What have you done to prevent fascism?

And poor geographical knowledge? How so? In what way? I'm working off 2 words and I fully suspect you're lying. Your rage against America isn't necessarily misplaced, as long as it's well founded and isn't hypocritical. But let's not act like America is the only country that's done evil. And demonizing the entire population when less than half of the populace supports it only hurts the friends trying to right the ship. Shitting on all Americans like that is more likely to push more people to the right, than help our cause. Vitriol only separated people, trust me, I've been here for 40 years and watched as the zipper of cohesion has undone at different rates over the years.

I know you have rage. I do too. It's well founded. But point that rage where it belongs, and encourage those working to save us as a global society and species. To do that, we have to cut out the cancer. But currently that cancer is in the nervous system of the world. If you cut out the nervous system to cure the cancer, we all die anyways. You understand what I'm saying? Don't be trump, alienating allies never gets what you want. Just be cognizant of that.

That's true, but the demand is still there, and for someone who already went through all the work of getting a PhD getting recertified isn't that big of a deal comparatively.

I believe it. A really good liar is hard to beat. Growing up, my mother was a narcissistic psychopath, and that turned me into the most elaborate, sensical liar. I don't generally use it for evil, but I've gotten myself out of so many problems by navigating hairy situations on the seat of my pants. I hate how my childhood was but I appreciate the skill I gained from them, it'll serve me well when shit really hits the fan.

I blocked his ass on my kids YouTube but I can't block it on his friends YouTube. I just point out how creepy and weird he is.

Hey congrats to Mrbeast on being the 3rd mutant president of the United States of smoldering craters!

My point wasn't so much for the training but how easily they picked up on it.

If you want a better example, I was at a bar in Lawton ok, home of ft sill. At a bar one night I saw a fight happen where 2 civilians took on 5 military personnel out of uniform. (Dunno what units or rank or anything) The civilians did wind up getting the shit kicked out of em but 2 of the military guys got really fucked up, one looked like rocky after the first movie, the other was unconscious on the ground. If you think about it in a life or death situation, yeah the 2 guys would be dead, but so would 2 of theirs. That means the next 2 guys who come up against this crew (now consisting of only 3 guys), have much better odds. It's not thousands of little fights, it's one continuous fight.

True, but nobody knows what you're good at until you try. You'd be surprised by people and what they're capable of. Some of the best soldiers I saw in the army were gangly dorky looking dudes that had never fired a shot before training. In fact, those guys are easier to train than "good ol boys" because they haven't picked up any bad shooting habits.

You said hard cunt and yank, I suppose you could be Canadian but they tend not to use the word cunt. And if you're anything else then you're definitely trying to be like someone from one of those countries. Why?

I get that. I used to follow (not believe) conspiracy theories because it's so fantastical that I read them as like, life fanfic.

But these people don't share my type of interest in it. They're more like Christians pushing their beliefs.

The reality is that we're all just human. None better than the rest. But the thing is no individual or even group can say they 100% now how the full functions of the economic machine we've built even work. Let alone geopolitics or the myriad of other functions of the global society. We're all on a ship with no captain or crew, and while we try to get the smartest people in the right positions to figure it out and get us moving the right direction, it doesn't always work when we succeed and definitely not when we fail.
