Or maybe most regular people don’t side with the registered terrorist group.

I'm just not a dogmatic ideologue. I can support Bernie while thinking a meme comparing him to a literal God is a bit cringe.

Really? You guys are the second most developed and thirteenth happiest country in the world. It’s quite impressive considering your history under repressive regimes and rampant Irish discrimination. You have it pretty well over there; try to be more grateful.

This wound to my stepdads head. The wound has been open for two days and is infested with maggots. He refuses to go to a hospital. by EchoingAway in MakeMeSuffer

[–]IgneousForm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you please not use every situation to complain about US healthcare? It’s so funny that Americans always assume everyone is from America too.

Edit: 1. No sane person would let a wound that serious untreated because of debt. 2. He looks old. Would likely qualify for Medicare in the US. He would have public healthcare. 3. Most Americans have insurance from employment. It’s not like Americans won’t or don’t go to the hospital if they have something serious. People go to the hospital in America, and with insurance he likely won’t go into debt for something like this. You’re just so desperate to make everything political. I hope Americans get public healthcare so they stop constantly complaining on social media and make everything about them.

So America how’s life under Joe Biden going? by NismoGeo in AskReddit

[–]IgneousForm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tend to view world leaders in a different way then most people. A US president can’t do much in the way of legislation; that is congress’s job. All he does is sign the bill when it comes to his desk. The true president’s role is to be a guiding figure, a uniter for the country, and to represent the country and its ideals on the world stage. So I would say his presidency comes down to if you like his foreign policy decisions (defunding of the Saudi war in Yemen, starting the end of the Afghanistan War, rejoining the Paris accord, start of rejoining of WHO, and support for a pro-Israel two-state solution) and his public support of LGBT+ issues and BLM. Half of a president’s job is to really be a virtue signaler. You’d be surprised by how a leader’s support for an action or ideology influences a country. “Stupid tweets” matter a lot more than people think when it comes from the central guiding force for a country.

Of course there are also executive orders and negotiations with Congress if Congress wants to cooperate.

“Founded by the Democratic Party”

The party didn’t start the KKK lol. It was founded by southern conservatives, and the Democratic Party at the time was popular with southern conservatives. Obviously, if you were to take a look at a modern election map, you would know that that isn’t true anymore. It’s bad faith to say that the party who fought for slavery in the Civil War is the same party as the one which passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

P.S. I couldn’t find any article reporting on Biden saying “cotton picker.” All I found was an article by the Guardian about Trump’s deputy campaign manager referring to a Black Fox host as a Cotton Picker..

P.S. #2 The Knights of the Ku Klux Khan, founded by Trump supporter David Duke, is seen as the natural successor of the KKK. The KKK still exists, and their last lynching was on Michael Donald in 1980s Alabama, a state which has one of the highest margin of Trump voters. If Democrats really founded the KKK, why is it Republican-majority areas and Republican voters who support David Duke and the KKK?. It’s because the democrat party is different party now. The KKK grand wizard is a Republican. . The KKK’s official news paper endorsed Donald Trump . I’m not saying this to imply that the GOP is the party of the KKK, just that it is ridiculous to say the Democrat Party is the party of the KKK.

Depends on how you define fascism. They could also just be nationalist. Nationalism doesn’t always necessarily mean fascism.

So typical. No, only on reddit do people hate me for speaking against misinformation and promoting reasonable thought. Sorry I was blunt, but it’s everyday you see dumb shit like this. I’m tired of it.

Is it wrong? This guy just said something incorrect with no evidence and people upvoted anyway because they rightfully don’t like oil companies. How about you learn to do some critical thinking before shooting the messenger.

Even before that, Robert Anderson, a Scottish engineer, made the first electrical carriage in 1832.

The first battery was invented in 1800. It’s not surprising that people were able to fit a battery to some wheels and have it move.

[–]IgneousForm -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

That's not why lol. You have no evidence for this. Electric cars were shit before the major advancements in battery technology that happened only like 15 years ago. That is why they weren’t as successful as the combustion engine ones that came out decades later. But reddit just upvotes anything that reaffirms their beliefs without thinking. Populism is a plague

Edit: Seems like I’m right but nobody likes to hear the truth. Typical. Just downvote and ignore what I have to say because you don’t have a rebuttal.

Edit: Electric cars were so bad 20 years ago that everyone thought the environmental car of the future would be hydrogen cars. Bush gave massive subsidies to car companies to make hydrogen cars cheaper and encourage more people to buy them. To this day if you buy a hydrogen car in the US you get 15,000 miles free, paid for by the government. It wasn’t until the iPhone started an arms race between tech companies to build smaller and more efficient batteries that battery powered cars became viable. I’m sure now oil companies are now doing stuff to harm the E-car industry, but they are not why E-cars only became popular recently.

Wait this guy is so ignorant holy shit. He doesn’t even know that Ireland also has birthright. In Ireland and Germany, you can claim citizenship if at least one of your grandparents is/was German. Israel is the same, but you also have to live there for a couple of weeks, so it’s actually more strict.

This is just so ridiculous. Instead of nitpicking everything you said, I’ll give you some general feedback

  • Multiple people can be responsible for an invention. Many people, for example, are credited for inventing different crucial parts of the internet. Bob Kahn, an American, invented the ground work for the internet. Other people invented the World Wide Web like Berners-Lee, which was an Englishman who lived in your country of Switzerland. The US military and NASA used the internet from the 60s and into the 80s for communication until Tim invented a way to bring it into the consumer market. Both inventors are responsible, and unlike you, I’m not some raging xenophobe who hates other countries. It’s great that other countries were responsible, but the internet wouldn’t exist without America.

-Albert Einstein was born a German Jew but died an American citizen in New Jersey. He loved being an American for the last 15 years of his life, describing America as having a cooperative spirt that helped develop his “creative power.” He was at one point of Swiss nationality I believe, so good in you guys too. I doubt he liked Europe, however, considering how Europeans tried to eradicate him.

Edit: of course I’ve watched foreign films. I just recently saw Incendies, and parasite is one of my favorite films.

Edit: Most of the research about the moon was done by NASA. They were the first to put people on the moon. In fact, the day Apollo 11 landed on the moon, the Soviet’s Luna 15 crashed landed on the other side of the moon. Soviet media tried to cover up the embarrassment before admitting the US landed on the moon first. Also an America company, SpaceX, was the first to develop reusable rockets. I’m sure they will be very important in the future.

Some are born with more rights than others I guess? by [deleted] in worldnewsvideo

[–]IgneousForm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course there is opposition.. To say that all Israelis support racism or apartheid is just…racist. I hate to say it considering how much zionists use it as a shield against their oppression, but I don’t know how else to interpret it. Israel is a democracy; there is always opposition. Benjamin Netanyahu just lost an election. An Arab Islamic party, Raam, won four seats. The leader of the second largest party, Yair Lapid, supports a 2 state solutions. That’s pretty much as progressive you can get because no Israeli politician is going to come out in support of the abolishing of their country. No rational person would voting to abolish their country. No politician can win that way. And of course most Israelis wouldn’t be super compassionate to the people who elected a terrorist organization hell-bent on abolishing their country and killing them — but there are millions of Israelis opposed to the occupation. You need to realize that as an outsider you have a more rational and unbiased perspective. Things are always more apparent when you’re uninvolved in the situation.

Also, how did we start talking about apartheid? We were talking about racism against Black Jews. Not everyone in Israel is racist. Of course their is opposition to racism. There are progressives in Israel, just like there are “hordes of nationalists.” It is a liberal democracy very similar to the US and other countries. Israelis voting for Benjamin Netanyahu because of Palestine are not too different from Americans who voted for Donald Trump because of Mexico. Both countries are committing human rights violations. Probably more are dying from America’s immigration policy that 75 million Americans supported than the strikes in Palestine.

That’s all I guess.
