NATO isn’t an army, it’s a defense pact. Member countries can’t just launch an attack against a non-member country (especially to “protect” said non-member).

I think it’s fair to say that ~80% of voters will just follow whatever their party’s media outlets say they should vote for. If a proper leftist and actually got the DNC nomination, I don’t think many classic liberals would think twice about voting for them.

If you don’t own a gun yet, buy one ASAP because it’s going to get a lot harder for people like you in the coming years

Promise?

I remember when “analog horror” was when the VCR ate your rental tape

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” “the issue isn’t liberal globalism, the issue is unregulated markets.”

Of course no one is arguing on halting all international trade but the same brainrot idealogy that encourages maximum globalism also encourages finding the least-regulated and most profitable trade partners. Until the entire globe can adopt a different paradigm, you can’t reconcile those two components as not being inextricably linked. There’s no possible scenario where global liberal capitalism doesn’t produce unregulated, monopolistic, wealth-concentrating trade.

Bad thing happens.

Side A says bad thing is actually good and wants to continue bad thing.

Side B says bad thing is bad but actually wants to continue bad thing.

Debt, debt, debt, and debt. Most people don’t own anything in “their” home and probably never will.

Not to mention the fact that most of those (giant houses, trucks) are just people buying the only options on the market.

Post-1989 globalist liberalism failed to improve QoL, pure and simple. Across the western world, people have watched international trade deals do nothing but siphon jobs and wealth out of their homes

If you’re the type of person whose life is actually hurt by this, you deserve it lol

Read one time that “thirty years ago, Japan was ten years in the future. Today, Japan is twenty years in the past.”

Same reason that some people have spray tans or workout until their hearts can’t take it anymore. It’s seen as attractive in the culture.

Edit: The Grand Tour did a pretty funny bit on this when Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond tried becoming more American

Its that “strangled by nerd thighs” thing all over again, isnt it?

If I’m taking your word for it, your much larger ex bf tried to strangle you on camera in a public park and you used a self-defense tool against him. Sounds like you were entirely in the right to me. Would you have done anything different?

Sounds justified. What sort of responses are you hoping for?

Not enough time. Even before Harris was the candidate, she was pretty much treated like the de facto nominee immediately after Biden left. It would’ve just muddied the waters even more to go from Biden to Harris but then to another candidate after a quick primary.

It doesn’t hurt the fact that she got a massive boost in polling right after Biden dropped out and endorsed her. There wasn’t much reason to think that anyone else would poll better than her.

I have never understood the phrase “mountain out of a molehill” more than I did reading OP’s past few posts.

Those postings are put up by recrutiers for jobs that don’t exist to pad their rolodex in case they happen to get a overqualified candidate. There aren’t actually any $20/hr entry level remote jobs on the market.

There isn’t a single company in the country that’s going to pay you $20/hr to do something that entire offices are doing across the world for that same rate. You’re shooting way too high for that wage doing that kind of work
