Sandwiches predates him as well.

Correction, because a group of rich and powerful vested interests exploit that ignorance for shortsighted profit.

Kind of. The traditional estates didn’t provide an even remotely fair representation to the third estate, so the talking broke down before it even started, since the third estate just said “screw this, we are making our own convention” before the estates had actually convened.

Not going to happen. Europe is barely holding together as it is, and Russia/China are using just as much energy and resources in undermining it as they do in the US.

At best Europe can stick somewhat together enough to form a working defence and foreign policy for its own territory and near neighbours, but it is never going to be a global force.

It should be mentioned that Americans and Europeans seldom talk about the exact same thing when talking about cucumbers. The most common cucumber type in the US is a spiky bitter thing with a thick rind, while the most common in Europe is softer with a smooth rind, more watery and often much sweeter in taste (the type which Americans for some reason call the English cucumber).

Donald Trump has already called asbestos “100% safe”. His cultist followers will eagerly become pro-asbestos if he tells them to. And he will tell them to if someone pays him enough to tell them so.

Except the part where the average consumer gets to pay more for everything. That still applies.

I don’t think that China need anything from the US

They do like their money. The US basically funded their industrialisation, and keeps doing so.

The thing is that there have to be an incentive to receive and accept that logic. Something beyond logic.

You can’t use logic against someone who is completely emotionally invested in a cause. They need to somehow be open to contradiction, which most cultists certainly aren’t.

So in that respect it could be said that you didn’t logic yourself out of it, because you had already accepted contradiction to your beliefs before you started using logic.

Not as much as that Putin-nazi shithole you frequent.

Shitty restaurants just microwave their food. Real restaurants actually cook the food. You could cut out the middle man by making your own food from raw ingredients.

I am not American enough to understand what the hell OP is even on about.

The fact that corporations sees the fediverse as inconsequential. The minute people flood it in larger numbers as they are fleeing the corporate entshittified internet, that is exactly what they are going to do though.

No tolerance for the intolerant in a tolerant society. It has been thought about a lot.

I think you confuse him with Göring.

If it was smart enough to fix the climate crisis it would also be smart enough to know it would never get humans to implement that fix

Who will fight that civil war? The American population is overfed and over-entertained and way too docile for such things.

It is interesting that you assume that breadbasket will not also be decimated by climate change like the rest of the world. Is that some of that American exceptionalism I keep hearing about?

There are two levels of maga, the exploited and the exploiters.

For the moronic rubes who vote for it, it is purely about the bigotry. Their daily life is going to get fucked up in so many ways, but that is ok because minorities.

For the the psychos exploiting the endless maga train of morons it is pure grift.
