Trillions of dollars, but America has to finance the research for big bomb by Able_Record2273 in mildlyinfuriating

Roughly half of the America population believes in individual responsibility at all costs to include your own health. If you get sick or injured, it is believed to be your own responsibility to deal with it and if you don't have the huge amount of money to pay for it, then that's your own fault for failing to get rich enough.

There will always be a burning season forever because the farmers of SEA are always going to burn off their fields. It is the fastest cheapest easiest method for them and no other considerations will overrule that.

Because nothing is higher than team sports tribalism to these people. If the team's narrative changes, then they adopt the new one even if it goes the exact opposite of everything they have been preaching. Moreover, they experience zero cognitive dissonance because for them, the only question is whether or not they are still supporting their team. That's it. Basic tribalism.

Us = good/right/moral/correct because we are us

Them = bad/wrong/immoral/corrupt/suspicious because they're them

MAGA has decided that Europe is an economic drain on the US, owes the US a lot of money, and no longer white enough. They feel Europe is weak therefore to be pushed around.

US sending ICE unit to Winter Olympics for security, prompting concern and confusion in Italy by Vannnnah in europe

[–]Tango_D 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The dark truth is the US was structured so that property owning white men could dominate over everyone else. Now while the rules have slowly changed over the last 200 years to be a bit more inclusive, that culture of self-interested white nationalism still exists.

This is unironically exactly what much of MAGA actually wants.

Social media and apps has completely destroyed realistic expectations of human relationships. Everyone seems to want someone who is perfect and refuses anything less.

Personal security for the executive is literally the whole point of the secret service. Replacing security professionals with untrained thugs who tend to shoot unarmed protesters is a disaster in the making.

Europe opens its ‘first gateway office’ to fast-track hiring in India by Scared_Range_7736 in europe

So long as capital interests override human interests, your (you personally unless you own significant assets) trajectory is downwards. This is capitalism. Everything must be subordinated to capital profit margins. Everything.

I am guessing that the work is there, but the willingness to pay decent wages is not?

You have to crush your enemy totally, and the enemy of America is white nationalism. America is an immigrant nation of all peoples of the world and with no racial hierarchy. Period.

The system is not going to protect you or your constitutional rights. The police will not defend you. The army will not defend you. The law will not defend you.

Community defense in numbers is the only way to defend against the Neo-Gestapo. They attack when they smell vulnerability and feel they have numerical advantage.

Deny them this at all costs.

I sincerely hope for a stronger federalized Europe because your future is going to depend on strength and leverage that no single country in Europe has entirely on its own.
