They may have been at one point but they def stopped once Thiel and other big technocrats got involved

Bro I just want to listen to music without putting something in my ear, not be a pervert. Why do people have to ruin things.

Not with those crash safety test results. I’ll take a modern sedan if I’m going to have a car

This is why competition is good

Add this on top of federal layoffs, inflation, tariffs, higher interest rates (I know they’re necessary sometimes), etc. The average American is getting screwed right now.

It is for me

Because the internet isn’t real life and plenty of people know how to talk to people, including those of the opposite sex.

Yeah don’t worry. They’ll get a small fine and will appeal and drag it out for years

It is the donors influencing all of them. Corrupt fucks

I’m just baffled Labour is trying to die on this hill.

I agree

The US has solo hegemony and super power status that has been challenged but never overtaken. US/NATO (for what’s left of it) is the strongest alliance on the planet. My point is other countries are generally hesitant to start conflict due to US policing and involvement.

I never once tried to say the US is perfect but countries are also more hesitant to do things like that due to US policing. So yes, while the U.S. has done bad, its geopolitical stance post WW2 has been mostly successful in stabilizing the world and deterring aggression.

I know. I mean it all respectfully

I know you think it’s impossible other countries could be bad because the U.S. is held under a microscope and intensely critiqued both by foreign interests and specific groups here. The U.S. is far from perfect but pretending other countries like China would never do bad is absolutely comical.

No because you’re using your current “America bad” outrage to justify other countries and their expansionism. Other countries can be bad, you know? Many just were unable to do so under American hegemony.

Yes every instance was totally bad. The U.S. should’ve done nothing to counter USSR and their dominoes across the world. US should’ve just let every country fall into an authoritarian USSR influenced country.

Obviously, I don’t blindly think every war was good, such as Bush era Iraq. However, defending Kuwait was 100% defensible in Gulf War.

Ironic considering much of the world was constantly in conflict prior to Pax Americana.

Spoken like someone who is blinded by the Trump admin, obliviously naive. You must’ve been one of those that thought Russia would never invade Ukraine despite US intelligence.
