You’re like a gooner complaining that normal sex is boring. You’ve blown away your taste buds with excessive sugar, salt and spice and now simply cannot appreciate any subtlety. Anyone who’s ever tried fasting can attest how much more flavorful food is once you break your fast—even very basic things
@seattle_wayne@KIRONewsradio@KIROCharlie Are you serious? There are plenty of things that can happen. Execute him. Imprison him. Flog him. Anything is better than this obviously
@JoeGiddens84568@Breaking911 Are you retarded? They fire at our ships and bases because we sneak attacked them during negotiations? We’re at war retard. And there is no evidence Iran has ever lied about compliance with non proliferation or the JCPOA. You know who does lie about having nukes? Greatest ally™
@jollier_raptor Sort of like how the descendants of Chinese dispossessed during Mao’s revolution returned to their ancestors’ level of wealth within two generations. There is a reason some people are peasants and others not. And giving the peasants gibs will not change that.
@VTrashman@EndH1BNow_ Assimilation is a vague term. There are plenty of people who were born in America, even those whose parents were born in America, who place tribal and other national loyalties above the well being of their fellow Americans. Are they assimilated?
@VTrashman@EndH1BNow_ Are you trying to say she’s not Indian? Or are you trying to say that she puts the interests of Americans above the interests of her Indian brethren?
@gareth28628343@johannesmkx If you’re such a pathetic loser that even with every advantage you managed to fuck up your life you certainly shouldn’t be giving anyone advice. About anything.
@rodrigo91213801@xwanyex The fact that you conflate Japanese and Indians just tells me you have no interest a real discussion about any of this and just want to use a combination of cooked stats and not understanding to skate by
@KratoskaPeter@JesseKellyDC Let’s be precise. The energy shock was due to self imposed sanctions by the west in response to Russia invading Ukraine. And blowing up nordstream so that germany didn’t get cold feet
I get the sentiment behind nothing ever happens but things do happen. Covid and lockdowns happened. This Iran war happened. The 2008 crash happened and a lot of ppl were affected in real ways. People would have called you crazy right up until the moment the Soviet Union disintegrated.
The debt thing is real imo. It doesn’t matter who owns it, the point is twofold. 1) it compels constant accelerating inflation. Most people are becoming poorer. At some point people will begin to check out of the wage economy into barter, again very late Soviet style. This eventually leads to nothing working as the govt own employees steal everything that’s not nailed down rather than enforce govt policies. Whole thing collapses. 2) congress has to keep voting to raise debt ceiling. As things deteriorate the probability that they fail to do so gets higher and higher. At some point they blink, we soft default. At the very least, interest rate goes up a bunch and it accelerates 1) even more
Imagine the US balkanizing. The federal govt has become too paralyzed to act, has defaulted on the debt, supply chains have major disruptions, etc. not very hard to imagine, it happened in 1991. Each new piece gets to set up a new govt (or devolve into a failed state). Perhaps the least pozzed one can be influenced in the right direction. Best case scenario at this point
