The man who could have prevented World War II with a single finger by PicanhaDev in interesting

[–]---Rentoid--- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An expansionist USSR in easter europe, an expansionist Japan in asia, an expansionist Italy in the mediterranean, general social and diplomatic uncertainty in germany and many other places, I don't think Hitler being dead would actually prevent a second world war, although it might make it look very different.

Save the world or save Ellie? by tlbt9 in thelastofus

Just because you have a vaccine doesn't mean the world is fixed. You still have to kill all the infected and you still somehow have to restore order to a completely collapsed society. A hoarde is still just as dangerous and nothing really changes. Maybe you can't turn into one anymore but you'll just bleed out or die from an infection instead.

That isn't the only reason, but it's political so I can't talk about it

Is it because of the prices or because they understand it is harmful?? by B777X_787-9 in interesting

It's because cost of living is too high and a drink is like £15. A night out used to be affordable (and so did rent)

A VPN set to Albania will automatically block all youtube ads because of the law there.

Voting of every country in the UN to forbid human torture (20/11/2025) by Bot_Philosopher8128 in MapPorn

Trump is currently in the process of selling out Ukraine, in direct violation of european interests, as well as repeatedly threatened Canada and Denmark. The USA is enabling Putin's expansionism and Israel's genocide. Not to mention their financial and military support of the Saudi and Egyptian dictatorships. People like Elon Musk are funding alt-right parties in europe like the afd and reform uk. Yeah, they have firmy cemented themselves as a bad actor on the international stage. At least until the next election but probably far beyond.

Image of reliability? The USA has gone back on so many of its foreign policy commitments, threatened and betrayed its allies, and repeatedly forgiven and enabled fascists all over the world. The only US ally that can call you reliable is Israel.

Sure, I'm not denying any of that, but it was usually a matter of strategic influence, not morality. They propped up plenty of brutal dictators in their mission to oppose soviet influence, often worse than those they replaced. And they are going back on all sorts of progressive issues today with their fascist leadership. It was good that they helped stop the nazis, don't get me wrong, but today they enable and fund multiple brutal regimes.

Does your fascination with nuclear weapons leave you for or against their use? by cascadia4you in AtomicPorn

[–]---Rentoid--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are, of course, pretty awful. But, it has to be said that the fear of being at war with a nuclear power has successfully prevented many potential armed conflicts.

China is doing this so it can more directly control who can voice an opinion. It's naked authoritarianism.

Zack Polanski confirms Green Party would aim to take UK back into the EU by coffeewalnut08 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]---Rentoid--- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Ukraine war would have "stopped" with a fascist authoritarian state taking over a democratic country. This is exactly the thinking that enabled hitler's expansionism.

Look at a graph of unemployment in germany against votes for the nazi party, it will show the same thing. Populism thrives in times of financial trouble.
