  • Yeah of course industries will collapse. 100 car factories will close, 5 superyacht factories will open, tying up the same amount of productivity. Owned by the same guy.

    There will be tons of spacecraft launchpads, private jet hangars, etc.

    And wars of course.

  • The extreme right gained some seats, but they are very far from winning an election. They actually underperformed expectations and are actively losing ground eg. in France or the NL. Even Orbán's regime seems to have found a challenger.

    The fight is not over yet, but this election has been very far from a far right win.

  • There was no buffer zone. Poland, Slovakia, the Baltics were under Russian military occupation for most of the last century.

    Russian soldiers were on the NATO border even back then. Soviet troops suppressed multiple revolutions aimed at creating an actual buffer zone, in 1956, in 1968 and so on. The bullet holes are still there. Some who fought are still alive.

    When the Wall fell, all these "buffer zone" countries wanted to join NATO because they knew the Russians will come back.

    Ukraine was indeed a buffer zone. Ukraine wanted to be one. Everyone signed that in Budapest. And yet when Ukraine wanted to do something and go its own way separate from Russia, but not into NATO either, Russia invaded in 2014.

    Russia broke that buffer zone. And sincerely, Eastern Europe has agency and can decide who its allies are. Russia has always been an enemy, and if you look at Finland, even dealing with the devil itself had better outcomes than giving an inch to Russia.

  • The point is noone cares why the dems went towards the corporate right. Noone cares if Bernie got kneecapped or had no chance to begin with.

    We can argue back and forth as long as we go crazy whether a more progressive administration would have been realistic.

    The cold hard truth is a US dictatorship now is. It's not edgy, it's sad is what it is. Hillary got us Trump, and Biden will get us Trump.
