Trump got rid of veteran benefits and cut food boxes for seniors.

I get his point and I agree with it, but I think it's worth pointing out that people can and often do care about multiple things at once

Fuck away my man! Well said. Well not man, just..you know what I mean. Everyone should enjoy life in this country so long as it doesn't bother others. That's the whole thing expressed in "the pursuit of happiness". That's why we're all here, just trying to be as happy as we can be.

Thank you. So many people lately that think there's some magic "fix everything" button hidden in the neck of whatever top asshole is in power.
Doesn't take too deep a look at revolutions the world over to see that isn't the case.
Don't get me wrong, I think we're at the point where it may be the only way out. It's just nothing to look forward to, and suggesting Europe "does it better" isn't comforting.

Is Dana white fuckin dudes now?

except the people insisting on making it into a fucking issue
Which are enough that society is split and there is no unity to prevent the planet from burning.
It's one way to call them stupid and wait until they change their mind. I think it's better to recognize that they insist on their way with the same determination. So instead of waiting forever, we should find a way to overcome the split.
People like you came up with the Missouri Compromise.

Even in Europe when things would get bad enough for the people to put aside their differences and kill the ruling class, the differences tend to re-assert themselves once the common enemy is gone. That's where things go south. Cutting heads off is like eating potato chips. You can't just stop once you've started. Eventually you're pulling crumbs out of the bottom of the bag.
If it gets bad enough for the American people to unite to kill the oppressors, the oppressors will definitely have a bad time, but you better be ready for one hell of a rough ride after.
Honestly, there is going to be a rough ride either way. Might as well make it useful.

A united public could easily oust the oligarchs and put them where they belong (the guillotines). But that requires large-scale public co-operation and putting aside differences, something the American public is wholly incapable of. I don't think it would be that hard if that was required in Europe.
We’re not incapable, it’s just been thoroughly trained out of us. My dog doesn’t bite but he still has teeth.

Well he laid out pretty clearly why we shouldn't care

AI didn't exist in any commercial capacity three years ago. It's already displacing jobs and capturing hundreds of billions of dollars and the quality and ability has improved exponentially.
I do think we're going to see it this lifetime and sooner than we think. 10-15 years from now, it's really gonna suck being a kid looking for your first summer job.

Only that I argue that we should choose one side or the other entirely.
-
You're so right. We need to find a middle ground on every issue.
Vaccines cause autism is valid.
Child brides are valid.
Slavery is valid.I am not arguing for a middle ground but for choosing one side and fully committing to it.

This can be turned around. The planet is burning and you want to fuck around and argue pronouns.
How should unity be created? By tolerating everything or by surpressing everything in public?
Both are possible. How should the choice be made which one to use?
There's tiger that want to eat you and you want to negotiate a peace treaty with the tiger.

You ignore your own power. It's two tigers who have to cooperate to escape a burning cage.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]which is worse, the oligarchy (french monarchy) or the aftermath - robespierre / reign of terror etc?
I'd say france, after, even with the horrors of the transition is worth it.
we killed and forced our british royal oppressors once. so... perhaps... but it's awfully hard to rebuild things once wrecked.

I'm worried about the very same thing. I have just yesterday read about the actual French Revolution and the Reign Of Terror that followed short after simply because - guess what - the revolutionaries couldn't stop killing people, for some reason.
It in fact even went to absurd extents, where they ended up killing other revolutionaries and eventually they themselves got guillotined themselves.
I think the lesson to learn here is to take the oligarch's wealth, but not kill them. In other words: "Tax the Rich", not "Eat the Rich".
