Bullying, berating Trump shows his worst self in Zelenskyy ambush
-
True. He is though.

I someone blows up a thousand people themselves they are a murderer and its socially acceptable to want them punished. If someone causes thousands of deaths in politics or business we should somehow respect it?
Hoping someone dies is the last thing left after morality is already dead.

I'm not American but wouldn't that mean Vance becomes president? It's tempting to think he couldn't be any worse, but trump likes the fucker so who knows?

We need a government social media that allows us to sue mods for freedom of speech violations, and allows us to host and have a centralized area for town halls and city concerns, eg like local FB or Reddit groups.
Until then, whatever, I won't shut up and they will have to keep banning me. I'm only on these "big" socials to let people know this stuff, otherwise I stick to niche independent forums that focus on 1 special interest. The difference between posters there, who are real and human and there to discuss the interest instead of psyop, and the posters on big socials, is night and day. The little indie forums don't really need to ban people because they aren't the focus of psyops, and so you get to see a wide variety of opinions and less of an echo chamber. Idk, I miss the old internet

Almost like it was intentional.
Yeah. Funny thing, that.

Doing God's work in excusing the DNC's unwillingness to do what it took to defeat Trump (just like, right now, they're not doing what it takes to stop him).
For the instinctive ass-kisser it's never the Royalty who is to blame, always the plebes.
With an "opposition" that doesn't actually oppose and is ever less representative of the population, Project 2025 was always going to happen, sooner or later, since the trend of the last 2 decades has been ever more of far right populism, propped up by the Democrats' ever more Rightwing policies and ever less trying to represent the broader population (and repeatedly using "we're not them" as their entire electoral strategy).
You know what might've worked? Not having licked the boots of the Democrat Leadership during the last decade or two.
Now, you're getting to enjoy the bed you made for yourself.

Have you watched the same video as I did? That's American diplomacy, why would we need that?
-
Yeah, even in this very comments section we have arse-lickers still blaming the plebes for not having supported a DNC Royalty who didn't even tried to listen to or represent them.
These people have spent the last decades unwaveringly supporting the hard right within the Democratic Party, who couldn't give a rat's arse about anybody not in their social circle, and now, to avoid accepting the blame for having supported those who corrupted their party from the inside, are blaming the poor sods on the outside who between two parties entirely dominated by the wealthy elites, never had a real choice.

War was the one thing the US was good at, now they have nothing of value left for the rest of the world.
Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.
US is good at pumping infinite money into the military. But they definitely aren't "good" at war.

yeah the best subs on reddit are almost always at least semi-niche with mods who are serious about the topic but not a-holes. I haven't had many issues with many mods but I still avoid most of the main subs simply because the discussion there is often very weak.
Do you have any recommendations on how to find indie forums? I don't know if there are lists or whatnot out there.
-
Not addressing the rest of the comment, but ”world leaders should discuss everything behind closed doors” is a dangerously shortsighted take. You do realize their job is to represent you, right? How do you think you can verify they are doing that if you are not allowed to see and hear what’s being said?
-
Man life must be so fucking easy for you to never feel threatened by politicians. It's all just a big TV show in your eyes isn't it?
-
Oh, these are independent websites. Not sections of Reddit.
Here's an example, the Ray Peat Forum (renamed Low Toxin Forum), I'm not a member/believer of those ideas, but I trawl through their studies sometimes for research with other stuff (better than r/science sometimes), and I love their fights so much:
https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/this-guy-says-he-has-found-the-holy-grail-on-how-to-remove-excess-copper-iron.53550/To find this forum, I believe I typed in something on a search about fat soluble vitamins and forums (or discussion board) and it came up. I take time to sift through results (go a few pages deep to find the lower SEO results) and see if the forums I find mention sister forums. I then will search stuff like, "Is Low Toxin Forum reliable?" and see who is talking about the forum and what they have to say.
This doesn't work super well though for politics, stocks, news, or crypto, I've found - those forums tend to be scammy for some reason. But ironically I've been on several gambling forums and those aren't nearly as sketchy.

I hope that the rest of the world is taking notes and realizing that they cannot rely on the current US government to uphold its side of any prior agreements (or even the basic tenets of etiquette in civil discourse).
I hope that every country that does most of its trade with the US is quietly looking for new markets.
I hope that Republican isolationism actually comes to pass so that the entire population of the US can feel exactly how painful it will be to cut themselves off from the rest of the world. And then in two years, I hope enough people will get off their asses and vote against the people who let it happen.

Maybe they can die together?
