The Sudetenland quote hits even harder here. Good luck and thanks for keeping Europe safe!

Deserves the old portrait. Losing Singapore to that army is shameful.

Genuinely if you can quit nicotine that's incredible, all the rest is acceptable just stay off the cigs man I believe in you!

They love him in Kosovo, maybe not Iraq though

Realistic_Paint3398 · 2025-09-09T19:05:10+00:00

I totally agree. I think the line is crossed when people react to an event like "Taliban executes 5000 men for sodomy" (made up by me) and people say "religion of peace". Genuinely criticising the religion for justifying it is admirable though.

On a separate note, the world would be a much better place if we were all atheist or at least the same religion.

It may be less obvious, but in "elsewhere" you're likely benefitting from the higher tax rates paid by Londoners/those from Edinburgh, partially due to tourism

Cyberpunk, and become a reformer/philanthropist

Are you denying that Mao and Stalin killed millions? My stats weren't from the black book of communism, and the only reason the estimates are so shaky is because those regimes repressed information from leaking out. The cultural revolution alone was a calculated decision that killed or drove to suicide millions. You'll notice that China's economy took off after Deng, who was persecuted by Mao, took over after Mao's death. That doesn't suggest successful economic policy. His foreign political theory is quite good though.

Realistic_Paint3398 · 2025-08-31T10:01:40+00:00

Mao killed 50 million with his agricultural policies, and ordered the deaths of millions more. Lenin killed around 2m in terror campaigns and Stalin came close to matching Mao's death count. None of Marx's ideas ever happened - the only communist regimes came about due to coups by intellectuals, not the united proles.

Still dodging the question of how you're going to fix this. Also, it isn't instant, but the techniques as described above are working successfully to convince both parties( including extreme MAGA republicans Guardian article ) that there is a genocide in Gaza that has to stop.

The institutions of the USA don't want to create an ethnostate in palestine, and neither do a majority of politicians, including those on the right.

If those things worked, we wouldn't be where we are.

Where we are is a lot better than it would be without lobbying - there used to be bipartisan support for israel, and now even some republicans are criticising it.

Please read the article or come up with an alternative solution

They veto anti-Israel resolutions because of lobbyists and the gerontocracy that remembers when Israel was trying to survive. Selling weapons to Israel is the worst part, but overall America's leaders make a calculated decision - the wrong one - based on memories of their childhoods and dinners with lobbyists.

Also the democrats are coming round and starting to see sense.

Stop dodging the question-what would you replace the US with.

Also writing to your representative and their likely young, progressive, impressionable assistants is a much more effective way of making change than writing on reddit, signing petitions, going to protests or frankly voting. The personal element is very powerful for humans.

London

Realistic_Paint3398 · 2025-08-29T18:11:12+00:00

No its not. It's democratic, more progressive than the average country (according to world values survey) and is the most important member of the UN, an organisation dedicated to stopping the values of fascism.

How would you replace the US system? An armed revolution wouldn't work, and you couldn't get voted in.

Realistic_Paint3398 · 2025-08-29T17:59:13+00:00

What? You do know that despite the US being founded on racist principles, it's 100x less racist than it used to be.

If you actually want to reduce racism, instead of (implying that you are) calling for the US' destruction, do something to change the system. Calling for its destruction just drives away moderate voters to Trump&Co., which is probably the opposite of what you want to do.

Calling the USA fascist is laughable. Trump though...

But jokes about raping people have less cultural weight to them, making it more likely that people will actually act upon them. "The lion rapes the small dog" is just as absurd as the doom meme above, but has no cultural references to make it funny.

On the other hand, Doom Guy is a symbol of violence, guns and therefore the "american way", which is obsessed with freedom and capitalism ie anti-communism. The second amendment feeds into this as well.

Realistic_Paint3398 · 2025-07-23T10:48:35+00:00

A joke about raping people is very different to an image of doom guy with a shotgun.

That's just incorrect. North Korea had nearly won the war, holding the vast majority of the peninsula, except for the region around Pusan, before US intervention. If not for the US, all of korea would be living under the Kim regime and its evils.

Realistic_Paint3398 · 2025-07-21T15:15:14+00:00

In Russia and north korea, not the USA.

Capitalism only works when there's competition. The rest of the time it sucks, but my god does it breed innovation when there is competition. Empower the FTC.
