@ChonkiestChonks@countmaculad Think of this: the boy who cries wolf. Its not about a boy crying wolf, its the message "hey don't burn everyone out with your bullshit hyperbole and save it for when its true otherwise no one will listen" which is exactly why no one listens to urgent news now, they are burnt out
@ChonkiestChonks@countmaculad Its a metaphor... its saying anything to large collapses under its own weight. Old stories require nuance. the meaning is not a true account of a building being built to the heavens...its saying "hey, don't get to big or its going to fail, you are not divine"
If Communism actually start to gain enough speed it will be what starts a civil war. It is fundamentally against the system of the United States. This is a slow approaching catastrophe.
Trump taunted the left, causing them to go further left between 2016-2020. In 2020, the left taunted the right causing the right to go further right, electing Trump who then taunted the left causing them to lose there fucking minds and break apart between communist and socialist.
@kazu_iv@TheDemCentrist There's a big difference between Blue Democrat and Red communist. You all are going to force us into a one party state which is absolutely horrific.
**Trump invokes the Fifth**
The right: “Understandable, it’s a witch hunt!”
The left: “That means he’s guilty!”
**Fauci invokes the Fifth**
The right: “That means he’s guilty!”
The left: “Understandable, it’s a witch hunt!”
@notlouisckk Same applies with USA vs China when it come to AGI. Long story short, we are in a very precarious situation that will change everything. Literally everything.
@notlouisckk Best way I can think of it: Look at WW2. Go hog wild on the uke so you can beat Germany to the punch. Why? Because whoever got there first made the rules. We were lucky enough to win, and didn't use it to rule the world. Germany would have been a different outcome.
