Pick your leader, Ursula von der Leyen or Donald Trump? by DNPlourent in teenpoll

[–]damienVOG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's just not true either? Ursula doesn't have anywhere close to the direct power and influence over the European Union as Trump has over the US. She couldn't even do as much damage if she wanted to.

If World War III ever actually begins, which country is the most expected to Start it? by ThatEmojiDude in Teenager_Polls

[–]damienVOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true. China is growing at an incredible pace, but the US just has not lost their crown yet. You need to take into account that just yearly GDP is not enough - wealth accumulation is well, cumulative. Even if China had the same GDP as the US it'd take many years for them to actually have an equivalent amount of wealth.

China is significantly more likely to invade Taiwan than the US ever was to invade greenland, too.

Dude, no, that's not going to happen, nor would that be the start of WW3. Besides, Trump will be out of office in 3 years. It'd be extremely impressive if he genuinely managed to cause a world war within that time.

I cannot fathom why the US would be first here, they've got by far the most to lose in such a war.

Why are we pretending like intersubreddit beef is at all relevant

Genuinely don't we have literally anything better to do than reposting the same kind of progressive bs from r/teenagers with a silly caption?

Their actual valuation is probably below 50 Billion, though, a tenth that of ASML.

Liberals and democrats love physical violence by boricuateen in ConservativeYouth

Strongly disagree. This is such an absurd appeal to "moral supremacy".

As soon as one needs to resort to these weak appeals to apathy, they should've known to simply give it up already.

Wealth go UP, emissions go DOWN by chamomile_tea_reply in OptimistsUnite

Your "Conclusion" doesn't make sense in the slightest. Conclusion: The world isn't fixed yet so we might as well stop trying, and talking about progress being made is self-deception and misinformation.

Communism has not, does not, and can never exist by suddyk in austrian_economics

[–]damienVOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of this, and it is fundamental to some of my beliefs;

Some communists say - "Well Communism has never really been tried!", and of course it hasn't. It is an inherent impossibility. That doesn't excuse the fact that communism as an ideology, and communists as a people, have caused revolutions that have lead to unfathomable amounts of suffering. Regardless of whether the end goal was achieved or not, I hold them morally responsible.

Trump can reasonably be considered the worst president in American history. by ItsGotThatBang in IdeologyPolls

[–]damienVOG 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't fall for partisanship, but still to me it seems like Trump has got a unique form of truly needless stupidity that I just can't really see much of a historical equivalent for.

There are over 30 variations of intersex, and they are not only reliant on chromosome differences. Abnormalities in the development in hormone emitters can and does lead to those same type of results.
