It's culturally dependent. It is not taboo to still live with your parents in some countries. And considering the housing market difficulties, it is actually becoming more acceptable in places where the practice has been previously taboo.

Then you just found out about the Russian mindset. Fact of the matter is, Russians developed learned helplessness and rely on authority figures because they have gotten used to it since tsardom. They will only complain if their means for livelihoods and pensions are touched. The only times Russians had seriously challenged the authority was Imperial Russia losing World War 1 causing inflation, and Putin tried to implement pension reform. It is general rule that people only rise up if their means of livelihood become affected.

The longer the war drags on, the more it is to Russia's detriment. At some point, Russia will be in Chinese orbit, contrary to Russia trying to re-forge their own empire and influence.

You never know...

What a weird timeline that we are rooting for China on this.

Nah, fam. The Labour Party has also become a neoliberal turncoat.

What many people do not realise, is that Nazi Germany was on the brink of another economic collapse due to Hitler's rearmament and excessive government spending. The annexation of Sudetenland and going to war gave Nazi Germany the needed funds to keep the country going for awhile. Hjalmar Schacht, the economic minister, opposed the rearmament and warned the government of impending collapse but was sidelined. We are seeing that America is trying to repeat this with tanking stock market and a federal reserve director going toe to toe with the executive.

Unfortunately, half of all voters legitimately want this and have been supporting people who promised to make it happen. America is a democracy and this is what the people want apparently. Trump just matched his highest ever approval rating.

If I remember the figures correctly, only 30% of eligible voters voted for Trump. The other 30% voted for Harris. Then the remaining 40% of eligible voters sat out the presidential elections (these non-votes didn't mean that they tacitly approve of Trump though). Strictly speaking, this is not what Americans actually wanted. Moreover, with the chaos of Trump tariff, his approval rating is actually the lowest among the presidents within their first one hundred days.

So this is why Trump wants America to isolate, so that he can concentrate the military in the country...

Vladimir Putin’s forces were not as strong as they claimed.

A three day special operation that turned into a three year operation? The headline is not exactly groundbreaking.

In my case, autocowreck is the main reason for incorrect spelling and grammar.

As a guy, I do recognise that men are disadvantaged in many areas and need to be put on equal footing with women-- like courts disproportionately award custody of children to mothers, regardless of how unfit the mother is to be a caregiver. But broadly speaking from my pespective, women are still at more disadvantage. I used to live in a bad part of my city for many years and have had little to no issues. However, it is a different story from women I spoke who got harrased, and another hit on the head. They said they will avoid going to the city ever again. I remember sharing the accounts of these women to other men, and the men were surprised because their experience is the complete opposite. Women are still seen as weak. And in the corporate hierarchy, men (of tall statures) disproportionately make up the board of directors and executive roles.

Yup, America officially becomes fascist. The executive simply doesn't respect the judicial branch anymore.

Mark my words, Trump will not let go gently come 2029.

It is not double think, it runs to their own worldview that immigrants are inferior and only worthy of working in manual labour.

I will be honest, I thought that Trump will continue with his fascist-adjacent/fascist-lite policies from his first term. Looks like in this term, he is out for vengeance and doubled down!

"Master the Art of Trading" by Daniel Lewis. It is amazing for beginners. When I started applying the theories, it greatly improved my chances with day trading. I would recommend applying the theories on demo mode first of your chosen trading platform.

Perhaps they’ll have a better chance in WI, MI, and PA.

Those are the places that I mean. Those states are part of the infamous Rust Belt area whose citizens are mostly working class that used to vote Democrats. They are now the swing states that I believe AOC and Bernie could easily win.

AOC and Bernie will get into swing states later, if not sooner. Besides, those swing states you mentioned were solidly Democratic until the pressure of globalisation and jobs outsourcing made former Democratic voters had enough, and they had been big fans of Obama. I think AOC and Bernie won't have any problems rallying the swing states.

I always see xenophobia and racism as different level in the same category. Like, the former is "milder" and something as I, as an immigrant, could overlook. The latter is far more hateful and intolerant.

The far-right in Europe seems to have lost momentum a bit-- for now. The far-right parties in government in Sweden and Netherlands proved themselves incompetent and lost support. The support on German AfD stagnated. Meloni has shown to be more moderate than expected (well, not quite but that's a long story). And Le Pen has been prosecuted, but I think this is not enough to actually kill the French far-right movement so long as the French government still practice neoliberal policies. But I think the major factor that made Europeans think twice now about gravitating towards fascism is after witnessing the shit show in America and Musk's overt election interference in Europe. I should not be laughing, but what a laugh the three months of Trump administration has been!
