But the Russian ties are a hoax, right?

And I really hope people wake up to that. It took me too long IMO.

They are both “right wing” if you have a euro-centric perspective. Most if the world is still divided over liberalism vs authoritarianism rather than capitalist vs anti-capitalist.

I can’t say as I only did a quick search to see if he was in office still.

“Right-wing fascists” as opposed to what? Do you think progressive fascism or liberal fascism exists?

He left office in 2013. He ran for POTUS in 2020.

Joe Walsh hasn’t been in Congress since 2013. Tammy Duckworth took the seat after he served one term. This is simply a conservative who doesn’t like what AnCap fascism looks like IRL.

If there is profit to be made off slop some jerk will direct it this way. There's no need for reddit to bother.

No, there would be no benefit for doing so. There are subreddits that see more people come and go in an hour than the entirety of lemmy sees in a month. Lemmy isnt a threat to anything.

Conde Nast was a big name in the magazine publishing business for decades.

1. It's still useful vs bartering & you still need it fir things you must obtain from other capitalist nations.
2. As it ages they will take more and contribute less
3. they don't have the people and are unwilling to open immigration

I dont think your assertions are correct

The scientific method cannot be used to determine the truth of an inherently untestable claim. That's why untestable claims are called unscientific because science has nothing to do with it and cannot by the inherent limits of the method.

For example, Abrahamic faiths assert that there is an omnipresent being that comprises the totality of everything. If such a being could exist then there could not be anything to compare it to as a control. Hence, you would not be able to use the method to test if this God exists as you have no not-God as a point of comparison.

The scientific method has limits. Hopefully you were taught that you use philosophical logic to determine validity of untestable claims.

Ok so you have no solution other than hope that one comes along.

Some folks here are as devout believers in their system without any evidence just like those that regularly attend churches

A large elderly population that needs benefits but isn’t producing labor’s requirements are met how in alternate systems if those needs require medicines that Japan must buy from other nations?

Remember in Japan’s case there are not enough workers paying into the system to maintain benefits for the growing elderly population which is expected to increase.

They need more workers paying taxes into their system than retirees taking benefits out if the system. As Japan is the oldest nation on average this is a huge problem.

They wouldn’t be able to afford retirement payments for their elderly population. That is the risk

“they legitimately believe that Muslim countries hate them, and Muslims in general want to kill them”

Do you have any experience with the press in their neighboring countries? There are absolutely some sources pushing this narrative in the opinion sections from time to time. I used to read The Daily Star (Lebanon) to follow Israeli news from a non-Israeli perspective and would see this in that paper a few times a year.

By no means am I suggesting that the billions of Muslims uniformly want to kill Israelis but the percentage that does isn’t zero.

A 6th grader’s literacy level means they can write a book report.

Lacking a belief in God, asserting there is no God, and asserting there is a God are all equally impossible to prove provided that by “God” we mean an omnipotent omipresent being.

I dont know how to make that any clearer.
