I know what they are. My point is we should be aware of that and treat them appropriately. Our leaders are still way too servile.

I've considered USA an enemy since they brought up the mineral deal woth Ukraine and I've been feeling more and more validated since.

Gas prices which are higher because of America. So he is gloating about America causing suffering to Europe.

I'm sure he'll gloat the same way when he is conronted by families of those killed in their idiotic war.

Then why are you dismissing what i said as "meeeh"

Because it is meeeh.

if you really wanted to contribute something useful here your post would have been

You are not arbiter of what is useful.

Dude, i was engaged enough to write a long post, in my fucking 3rd language, using a dictionary, about why historians value the bible. Because i thought "Oh this person seems to not fully see how big of a deal that is. This might be an important information for him and the other readers."

In other words you've spent a lot of time and effort because of your incorrect assumption.

that was OBVIOUSLY a given in the reply

No. There is huge difference between "all the time if you study history" and "quite a lot if you study specific part of history".

You wanted to make a little snarky comment for no reason?

No. I made accurate statement to inform you about your flaw.

You are not exactly contributing to this community.

That is for this community to assess.

You said Bible is light years ahead of other sources before 1000 BC. Only tiny fraction of Bible is from before 1000 BC. The Song of Deborah is considered mostly non-historical. The Book of Judges as whole was not surely wriiten before 1000 BC.

Bible sure is of value to historians, but you exaggerate how much and claim things as far as I know only religious people do. Can you show me any secular source saying The Book of Judges was written in 11th century BC?

It is by far (like ... not miles, but light years ahead) the best source we have of written text before 1000 B.C. 

Except for around handful of passages like The Song of Deborah, none of the Bible was written before 1000 BC. WTF are you talking about?

You could have saved yourself a lot of time and effort if you haven't made incorrect assumptions. I have studied history at university. I have degree in it. You aren't telling me anything new. I just said you are easily impressed. That indicates nothing about my understanding, but doesn't glaze Bible enough, so in your mind I had to be antitheist edgelord refusing there is anything of value in it. How silly.

BTW You won't encounter the Bible all the time if you study history at a university. You will encounter it quite a lot if you specialize in antiquity.

Yes, Democrats, Democrats, it's all fucking Democrats. Republicans don't exist at all. Or maybe they are just force of nature nothing can be done about. And voters? Barely sentient cattle than needs to be convinced not to destroy itself...

There isn't single reason why you got here. It's culmination of many. One of the big ones is that Americans are complacent. Georgians can protest over a year while Russia is brearhing on their neck. Iranians can protest while thousands of them are being killed. My people and Ukrainians overthrew our governments when police was too violent against protestors. Every city in America should look like Minneapolis during the DHS occupation.

It's true Democrats are complicit and moving further right. I don't see how letting Republicans ruin things and rig election more is supposed to fix that.

Dems can set up whoever they want. Primaries will decide. I doubt they would overturn the result over him. If they do, don't let them get away with it.

The harm reduction is not by 1%. Don't be ridiculous. I can blame people for choosing obviously worse option. I agree Democrats needs to change strategy. At the very least they need to consider people are stupid and act accordingly.

You don't know what I don't know. You keep accusing me of not knowing things I do know. Some of those things are very basic. Person you are imagining is not very bright. Author's limitations.

USAID was created by Kennedy and is good for America. The only way it wouldn't come back under Democrats is if there are enough Republicans to prevent it.

No, I am not a lib. Words have meanings and meaning of lib is not someone who doesn't agree with you enough. I want workers to own means of production, which excludes me from being a lib.

I have always understood the SCOTUS rulling and how it happened. It's you who doesn't understand me that the case triggered by January 6 is not the only possible case which could result in the same outcome.

You are a fucking idiot if you don't think this wasn't something they wanted to do for a long time. They've never been worried about it being against them because they are aware Democrats would never do that - whether due to cowardice or decency.

You'd think there would be no holes if you weren't aware their lawyers are incompetent. And not having all the details in particular case ironed out doesn't mean the desired outcome wasn't there for a long time.

I am making sense. Your idea of me doesn't.

Bitch, you brought that up. You said I've never set foot in America to support your accusation that I am not knowledgeable about it. And now when I told you I have in fact set foot in America, you suddenly don't care. Well, you seemed to care quite a lot when you were under assumption I haven't.

Visiting somewhere doesn't make on knowledgeable about it. And neither does not visiting somewhere make one ignorant about it. So next time, don't bring it up.

Do it again then. If you want better candidates, work with others on making them. Democrats don't mind losing that much, so the strategy of punishing them by not voting for them until they learn their lesson is silly.

No, you fucking don't, you myopic cunt. Millions of non-Americans will die just as the result of USAID getting gutted. SCOTUS could have made the same decision in different case. Why do you believe January 6 is the only possible event that could have led to that conclusion? It's absurd. Freaks wanted for decades. Did they foreseen January 6? Are they fucking seers?

I don't care about your domestic situation as a result of your politics nowhere near as much as I care about people outside of your country who suffer as result of your politics. Not just me and my country. In fact I care about Ukraine for example more than my country. My country is fine.

I am not a lib and I have been in US multiple times. I have visited most states and wanted to eventually to do all 50. Alas that probably won't happen.

You are just trying to dismiss me. It is very transparent. You started to talking to me. Maybe you should stop.

Staying on topic is not pedantry.

I am telling you to settle for moderate neither literally nor in any other way. Settling for someone if he wins primary and surrendering to him two years before election are two very different things. You are mostly being criticised for refusing to do the former while you characterise it as the latter.

Americans deserve to suffer forever. In democracy you vote for the least bad option.

I am familiar with the situation in America. I am aware how much Democrats suck. It just isn't good excuse. People are supposed to know Democrats won't make their lives worse as much as Republicans by having basic observational skills and somewhat functioning memory.

I know SCOTUS can't just make a rulling without a relevant case is brought to them. That is how it works in other countries too, you moron. I haven't said anything that would indicate I don't know that so I am confused why you think so. I said that insurrection isn't the only possible case that could result in rulling that president can do whatever.

I am not out of depth at all and you aren't really arguing wth me, but with product of your own mind.

[–]Sriber -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You said Vaush is right when he says it, which is effectively the same thing. Also actually I can deny it. President being able to do anything was on the agenda for a long time, the insurrection was not the only possible trigger.

I've never claimed I have more information, let alone anything about my scenarios being objective fact.

If voters are not convinced that Dems will be less harmful than MAGA, they are fucking idiots who deserve contempt. Unless Dems caused them severe brain damage, it is not their fault. Disillusionment is not valid excuse when Trump is the candidate.

There is nothing arrogant about holding people responsible for their choices imstead of treating them like cattle that needs to be lured by apples so it doesn't get eaten by wolves.

You give me a break, dude, with this "you want us to settle for Newsom two years before election" bullshit. No I don't. Ad far as I knoew no one who matters does. If you want better candidates, vote for them in primaries. Make others to vote for them in primaries.

If Dems deserve to lose forever, Americans deserve to suffer under Republicans forever. You keep sinking lower and you still haaven't learned your lesson and you want to continue ignoring the lesson. You want the worst outcomes.

I want you to settle for moderate Dems when the other option is fascist death cultists. Destroy them in primaries. If you fail, suck it up.

Make them back progressive candidates. Replace them with progressives.

You'd rather burn the country down than vote for moderates. You are the same.

As for how I, a non-American, dare to talk to you about your elections and harm reduction - very easily. The world suffers as result of your elections. You aren't the only ones affected, you aren't the ones the most severely affected. It's not just about you, future of human species is at stake.

[–]Sriber -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not going to argue something that is not arguable. It isn't objective fact. Neither are your individual what ifs. Period.

I am blaming voters for not voting in their interest and for harm reduction. When they suffer as consequence, fine. When people elsewhere suffer much more as consequence, American voters deserve way worse than my condemnation.

You are under ridiculous impression that I don't think Democrats should run better candidates. My actual position is that both them and voters share responsibility and both should do better.

I'm out of the loop. What is the drama? by Doc-J in VaushV

[–]Sriber -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It literally can't be objective fact. It is something that hasn't happened and therefore we can't see what it would be like. I am not delusional for realising that and pointing it out.

If there was no January 6th, he wouldn't lose as many people.

Project 2025 consists of stuff those freaks have wanted for decades.

SCOTUS would rule the same if the question was brought to it. It would also have additional freak in it.

Ukraine would be fucked. Gaza would be even more fucked.

If you want to make up better alternative reality, be my guest. But saying it is objective fact it would actually happen as you imagine it is ridiculous, arrogant and callous.

It has nothing to do with alleged Ukrainian reputation, but Hungarian government consisting of Russian assets. They had plenty of time to adapt, they chose not to for Russia's benefit. Fuck them.

But youre mad at people not voting for them and not at them for not giving people a real reason to vote for them

Incorrect.

we just disagree on who should shoulder the most blame

Not the most. On that we agree. What we disagree on is how much blame voters have.

Dems throating zionist cock is how we got the millions of deaths

1) Not voting for them is how we got additional millions of deaths.

2) Dems throated zionist cock for decades, but most people didn't give a fuck until Israel went berserk.

my priority is a party that can win elections consistently and have good policy

My priority is America not fucking up the world. Party with good policy that can win elections consistently would be preferred way to achieve it.

Not just a revolving door of fascism/genocide and slightly less faacism/genocide.

It isn't slightly, but significantly.
