    China, Russia and US.... All lead by the biggest pieces of shit in each respective country....

    I wish a sociologist could fully explain to us how humans keep giving power to the least qualified person possible.

    You want your car fixed and you'll google and compare and evaluate and get references, yet voting for the guy leading you a simple BS Facebook post will do....

        Dumb people have a lot of undeserved confidence, if you're confident then people like you. It's like salesmen.

          Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao – were all in their 30s or 40s when they rose to power.

            I do not agree with the notion of "wise elders". I don't want to dismiss the wisdom that comes with experience and time, but there's too many other factors to disrupt it.

            The boomers have completely destroyed the illusion of age equaling wisdom. They're the generation most responsible for today, and today is a shitshow of unbridled narcissism.

                  What do you have against Xi? He is the only one not bombing anyone, not meddling in any country internal affairs, and focusing in his own country and people.

                      Well, except for all the belt and road projects that they expect to foreclose and repossess. https://dailymare.com/news/chinese-firms-now-control-over-a-third-of-africas-ports---raising-fears-of-beijings-expanding-global-reach,1269

                      Ever play Civilization? There are more forms of victory than military. The US is going for cultural, China is going for economic.

                            "Wise Elders" is why we are in this shit show. They "know all" about shit that was wrong even 20 years ago, and hold onto to the feelings of the time (racism) and poison the modern well with those feelings.

                            That's not wisdom.

                                The US is going for cultural by bombing the hell of the world and having military bases and aircraft carriers enought to call the whole world his backyard?
                                Well. Maybe it's correct. Only a ton of propaganda to make someone to believe US is not a military mogul and instead is going for a "cultural victory".

                                  I understand the sentiment behind the statement but rn we need young progressives at the forefront more than anything.

                                    Wisdom never correlates with age. That old adage needs to die.
