Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fuck the alarm. Do something.

That is one of the many internationally illegal things Trump has done. When he is done with his term, you could probably fill a two story museum with all of it.

Nothing's going to change unless Americans start changing their lifestyles and start living more respectfully with less of the priveliges that allow them to live within constant escapism.

The "freedom" America offers is not the freedom that makes humanity prosper as an organism. The freedom America offers is the ability to live outside of universal reality and escape from universal truth.

Generally the same goes for all modern 1st world nations...

And for rising developing countries, who just want a taste of what the West has had for a while. Can't blame them, but you're right, none of this is sustainable, we just haven't seen the long term results yet so think it's fine.

It's like a global pyramid scheme. That may have started wayyyy back.

If you are me why don’t you take my own advice and stop posting online?

Posting online is one of those privileges you.. I mean I were talking about right? Let’s do less of that :)

Not necessarily, but sure less internet is good.

They stole elections in Chile, Columbia, and El Salvador, just for starters.

But there was a huge uproar over Nicaragua cancelling elections when faced with alleged systemic manipulation and fraud. It's just easier to believe a Leftist Government Hates Democracy than to acknowledge that the bourgeois in these states are stacking the decks.
