@fiveyearwaruk@MsTikq@ConInsurgent@ConservativaPol We’re a work in progress, but we’re decent people overall—even those of us who fought in questionable wars. Our government is on us. The political divide is exactly what both parties want; if you spend time in DC, you’d see how chummy they are behind the scenes.
@SocStudi3sN3rd@CynicalPublius Please provide your rebuttal to his post, bet you can't, that would require the ability to think critically and not spout memorized slogans of the useful idiot class!
@luvgusluvdex@CynicalPublius Elon brought back free speech, made EVs practical, and connected remote areas via Starlink. In a word, he innovates. Meanwhile, you and your ilk just destroy. Unable to think critically or defend your beliefs with logic, you resort to violence and hate.
@DonnaSu98947433@CynicalPublius@itchywombat9 Name a single land in history that wasn’t conquered or didn’t displace/enslave those before them.
Almost every modern convenience, technological leap, and medical advancement came from Western civilization—including the very tool you used to make your moronic post.
@PenguinPompous@CynicalPublius My unsolicited answer: a complete, total audit of all those programs to eliminate fraud and waste. Many people game social programs meant to help those in need. This fraud and use of loopholes has been demonstrated in states like LA, OH, and MN. Are you against that?
@jrislate@CynicalPublius Funny coming from a guy to whom fighting for "Democracy" means fighting against the latest result of democracy! Your side wins, democracy is great; your side loses, democracy is in danger. You don't want democracy you want compliance to tyranny!
@mopenshaw@richimedhurst I thought i block your doom fucking scrolling, I wasnt making a argument against you, I just provided the numbers, now get a freaking life. Now your blocked.
@WP671@omgsidewalks@pavonesway Because its a matter of national security, unless the world decides to stop. pursuing AI. That's not happening. China, for example, believes it's a race that they must win, to the point that they are spending time, effort, and money to turn public opinion against them.
@WP671@omgsidewalks@pavonesway I also noticed a cooling tower. Interesting . You know if you don't mind sacrificing modern technology. We could bomb world back to the stone age with EMPs, problem solved.
@monorchus@ConservativaPol@ConInsurgent I'm not going to be watching the capital celebration, and I don't care for all the political partisan crying. Chamber music and fireworks are all you need. Maybe throw in Ken Burns' latest documentary. A lot of kids haven't had that part of history covered much in their schools.
@gman5180@aj_inapi One, the original reparations in today's dollars is a trillion dollars. Add to that all the programs since the 60s, 3 trillion in today's dollars! Reparations have been paid in full.
