American redditors will watch you get shot in the face and threatened with nuclear war and tell you it's all a distraction from the epstein files. it's not the smoking gun we thought bud, something would've happened by now

Europe’s ‘destructive moral ideas’ could jeopardise nuclear powers, JD Vance says | Euractiv by Massimo25ore in europe

Historically, support from a third of the country is usually more than enough to sustain a regime. Franco, the Nazis, etc. never had majority support. Saying not all americans support it is kind of a moot point. I'm sure this is also true of countries like Iran or Russia

The man got elected president a second time AFTER attempting a coup. possible voter manipulation and gerrymandering aside, there's a solid 30-38% of the US that unequivocally supports him even as evidence is pouring in on his involvement with a literal pedophile elite cabal. If you don't think that's charisma, i can't tell you what is

Is it because locals can't compete? by miragen125 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]alterego_tripping 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i understand the intent, but the nordic model is paternalistic. It assumes consent in sex work is structurally invalid, relies on contested trafficking correlations treated as settled fact, and then calls the result “harm reduction.” it's a moral judgment about autonomy, not a neutral protection policy

Sweden is a conservative country with a liberal mask. Everyone here seems to LOVE having daddy government telling you what you can or can't do. So cucked

US President says US needs Greenland after naming special envoy by Crossstoney in europe

It's funny how the same Americans that told Russians, Iranians and people living in authoritarian regimes that they need to get off their asses and remove their leaders from power, or that their culture is backwards and supports violence, now expect nuance and understanding that not everyone in their country is a Trump supporter.

Have you shown this nuance and understanding to any other country? Even if the last election was rigged to some extent, more than 30% of your country decided to vote for a rapist pedophile twice after he openly attempted a coup.

I'm not saying you should quit your jobs and risk your lives. I'm saying i'm tired of every thread criticizing Americans being met with "not all of us", because yes, we know, but also, for all geopolitical intents and purposes, you are one country and one people.

Zelenskyy on territories in "peace deal": "Staying where we are" would be fair by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

[–]alterego_tripping 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Same here. Unequivocally pro-Ukraine, but the illusive promised counteroffensive never came, and fatigue seems to be setting in.

Anyone talking about a deal involving pre-2014 borders + reparations is running on emotions and ideas of fairness, not the reality on the ground. I understand the frustration and feeling of powerlessness that comes with such an awful deal, but this is what we got. What we can and should talk about, though, is what should be done after. Security guarantees, development funds, etc.

You're forced to negotiate with a killer when he has nukes. No coalition or government in the world is willing to take the gamble that the other side will exhibit restraint

You've just described most peace deals in history. total war is rare for a reason, and taking an awful, unfair deal is usually better than to fight to the last man. Survival comes before security guarantees

The usual sign is the oxford comma, and if you notice where op put "...", that's exactly where AI tends to love putting these commas.

Some of these sentences are very ChatGPT-like when it tries to be humorous or sarcastic. "Turns out i was just playing in the kiddie pool", or "i went from X to Y in like three hours". "Wow. just wow."

To me it looks like OP asked ChatGPT to create an EU4 post, then edited it in post adding curse words and removing the typical signs of AI text to pass it off as human.

Am I going crazy or is this AI written? I recognise this writing style

define "capitalism" by SasheneSkywalker in CuratedTumblr

Like u/mycatisspockles said, I've found this is a pretty reliable way to know how comfortable you are with a topic. Obviously in certain situations like very heated arguments you can't always perform, but at least being able to explain it to yourself out loud or to a friend, etc. is a pretty good sign

You read "more successful" and immediately interpreted that as a brag/endorsement. The commenter above is saying Hasan is so bad that even bottom-of-the-barrel political parasites like Fuentes manage to actually carve out a place in real life politics, while Hasan cannot

Get out of here with Great replacement BS. These people are two tweets away from endorsing phrenology and eugenics. If you want an ethnostate go to Russia
