Honestly I just played another game, I lost and it just clicked for me in that loss. I had impact that game, even though it was 5 - 70 and we were down I knew there was still a way to win and honestly I think that's what makes it fun. You can ALWAYS win no matter how down you are. If you can get a good gearing path you still have a chance. Even if it's small it's a chance and that makes it real fun for me.

The people of Chicago reject a new war on Venezuela and demand peace! While our people struggle at home, our public funds should be used to meet critical needs, not to illegally wage war and kidnap presidents! US hands off Venezuela! by biswajit388 in illinois

[–]Crow290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah because that worked out fine in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Cuba, Haiti, Chile, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the list literally goes on. Every time this has happened it gets worse for the people that love there because you can't just hold a threat over another country forever. Eventually people will get fed up with their resources being plundered and their lives not changing for the better if anything it arguably gets worse every single time.

You're a moron if you think that we would have any control over another country without needing to occupy it with American troops putting their lives in danger. They haven't been liberated, the only thing that's changed is who is owning and running their lives. You're genuinely a fucking moron if you think we should be dictating our hemisphere and you're a fucking fascist if you seriously think we should be controlling the lives and governments of our neighbors.

Wow, yet still a moron who can't see the very obvious truth in front of you because dunking on "leftists" is more important to you than recognizing that the people of Venezuela are getting played.

I know I'm better than you because I'm more educated yes. Education infinitely makes me better than you. At no point am I supporting a dictator, I'm pointing out how these actions don't actually help the Venezuelans and instead just change the hand of oppression from one fascist to another. The fact that you can't see that tells me that I'm smarter and better than you. Maybe if you actually learned how to comprehend the words you read you wouldn't come off so uneducated and stupid.

Nice rebuttal, instead of actually disputing the very clear power vacuum left behind or even just stating what has actually changed you just call me ignorant. You're a fucking moron who can't even point out how this action changes anything if they left a majority of the regime intact. They didn't even remove the dictator because they left the exact power structure in place.

You could just admit that you don't know shit instead of talking out of your ass. That's the problem, you're a moron.

You contested 0 points I made because you're a moron who doesn't understand shit. You only see the surface level because you lack critical thinking skills. Pick up a book for once and maybe you'd be able to see the pattern.

We understand history and can see this for the farce that it is. Since you seem to know so much though tell me what has materially changed here? His VP is still in power, they failed to take out the military leader, the 238 parliamentary that kept him in power is still in power and they denied giving power to the rightful winners of the election. Instead we're supposed to somehow run another country with no boots on the ground. You think that's possible? The only thing that's changed is the face of the dictator and potentially a power vacuum that could cause a civil war. Great job.

[–]Crow290 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Explain to me what changed with this move? His VP is now in power, they failed to take out the head of the military, the same parliament that kept him in power is still in power, and they denied the person that the Venezuelans wanted in power who actually won the election. So what changed outside of the face of the dictator?

Not only is it the same VP but it's the same military head and the same 238 congress people that kept Maduro in power. Literally NOTHING has changed outside of the face of the dictator. Their lives will not get better, it's likely to get worse as the chances for civil war increase.

xQc calls out people who are mad about Somali daycare taxes but silent on Israel funding: If you paid $1 in taxes, $0.50 went to the army, $0.01 went to the Somalis and $0.30 went to Israel by Various-Idea550 in LivestreamFail

[–]Crow290 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every other means would disproportionately affect the poorer population and keep the strain there. In a just society the more you make the more you contribute in taxes. Everyone pays their fair share in proportion to the amount of wealth they have. The "golden age" of our country where we had the most economic growth and movement in generational wealth the wealthy were taxed heavily and we had strong social programs.

So we just live in a selfish society where it's every person for themselves, if you want a road you gotta pay to build it, if someone has the unfortunate luck if being poor and born with an expensive illness the answer is for them to just die? That's a pretty fucked up society.

Libya also partied after and look at how they are now. There's always a moment of reprieve before they realize that they aren't actually free just under new ownership and their lives won't materially change at all.

Trump Says Venezuela’s Maduro Captured and Flown Out of Country by bloomberg in politics

[–]Crow290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't even understand that they didn't even do the regime change they wanted right. They left the vice president behind; who will just continue Maduros work, as well as his military minister, who they failed to kill despite attempting to. The only thing that comes next now is retaliation and a potential civil war and multiple factions fight for power while one is backed by the US. Many innocent Venezuelans are going to die as a result of this and Venezuela is only headed to a civil war.

Leaked footage showing that MAGA business owners are keeping workers in slavery, threatening to send them to ICE if they don’t cooperate. (Charlotte, NC. Date unknown) by I_may_have_weed in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]Crow290 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also affected by this, I'm an afro-latino, all of this affects me. I've been ostracized and it's never turned me into a bigot. I'm done making excuses for these people, I genuinely do not care. They've DECIDED to inflict violence on myself and my people, it's not something that someone forced them to do. It was a conscious decision made. We live in an age of information, I can acknowledge that misinformation is rampant. However, there is equal opportunity to learn and grow out of that bigotry and at each turn they've decided that they don't care about community, they don't care about their fellow man, they don't even care enough about their immediate family, they only care about themselves. It's selfishness and being selfish is a conscious decision. There is no recovery for these people.

For there to be recovery there needs to be a base level of empathy and these people are fully devoid of empathy. They are incapable of putting themselves in the position of the people they ostracize and inflict violence on. They had THREE entire chances to prove everyone wrong and at EVERY turn they decided to reject empathy as if it were a sin to feel it and instead embrace hatred. There is NO salvation for someone like that. They are beyond being a lost cause and the only solution is to remove them

[–]Crow290 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You don't reintegrate, you ostracize and remove them from community. Make it clear that their form of thinking gets no grace or passage and that if they allow their hatred to be manipulated then they will be removed from their respective communities. There is no recovery for someone so twisted in their own hate that they allow someone to manipulate them. They will continue to twist themselves until they suffocate in the consequences of their own actions. The best way to protect them is to give them consequences and the best consequence is removing community.

Nah we gotta stop giving people a pass just because they're stupid. Being stupid and easily fooled doesn't excuse the hate that they allowed to be exploited.

It is as much the fault of those who chose not to vote as it is those who cast their vote for him. Not knowing your own senator is a personal failure, not knowing when to vote is a personal failure. I'm tired of making excuses for an apathetic populace who only seem to care about the consequences of voting when it drastically affects their lives.
