If you think that’s amazing there was this guy in the mid 1800s that was a penpal of president Lincoln that predicted the hell we currently live in.

Sure, China. You can build a nuclear power plant from dirt to operation in 6 months. Not 10 years plus infinite overages, 6 months.

If there’s not a perverse profit motive at every stage and instead people are rewarded for getting the job done and getting the job done right, you end up with high quality fast engineering.

Mbfc is funded and run by Nazis. You’re defending a Nazi site. I personally wouldn’t call you a Nazi over doing so in ignorance, but others might.

You’re right, defending Nazi sites doesn’t make you friends, you’re wrong that there’s any peer review of the site though, either way.

Literally only in the US and Europe. Remove the profit motive and don’t keep on inefficient construction companies and it’s a quick process.

You’re right, we should try to get the military police to stick around longer to ensure security and make sure no more armed American backed separatists are left to do another massacre, like tank man.

This suggests conservatives are secretly strong though. We know that’s not the case.

People like you unironically deserve reddit.

They directly answered your question in its entirety.

The harm is simple, people get the illusion they’re making a difference and that it’s enough, it also legitimizes voting as the way to change things despite ample evidence it doesn’t.

This leads to Dems hating protestors, or telling protestors to protest quietly and no in the road. This leads to liberals hating the working class when they go in strike, because why didn’t they just vote for better conditions. It leads to liberals hating anything useful, because they already did the only ‘useful’ thing and voted.

This leads to lesser evilism and accepting institutions as the foundation of society, instead of any ideology that will positively change things.

Man I hope this is satire. It has to be satire.

It actually does. But don’t worry, pick any stat you associate with freedom. The US will rank below 40 compared to other nations, it will rank below 100 in many categories.

Nz being an ally of the US is a hold over from your imperialist colonialist past, nothing more. You’ve advanced beyond the US, as have a lot of nations. The only thing the US has over you is GDP, a stat not useful for much according to the inventor of GDP, and military spending.

Given what it uses that spending for I get why you’d be scared, being an island nation in the Pacific and all; but realistically they’re not competent enough to invade you anymore. I mean they’ve lost every war they started since WWII.

Now now, liberals thought they did anything by banning guns and overall making it much more difficult to defend yourself.

Hopefully none of the above, besides your current pm you guys seem to be on an okay track. You’re already decades ahead of the US in most development stats and you couldn’t be more opposed to us ideology.

That’s really not the case, and no, the US is not the’ free world’

Every US citizen has fewer and less rights than you do, assuming you’re in nz. They also have more prisoners per capita than every single authoritarian regime in history, including Nazi Germany during its peak Holocaust era. It’s not a free country, it’s authoritarian at its core.

Imagine defending the country that has invaded more countries than any other country currently on earth.

I simply pointed out that siding with the most evil industry on earth, and a rightfully killed CEO who himself killed tens of thousands of people directly due to his actions placed you squarely on the side of corporate bots, cryptobros, billionaires, and people who think they’re capitalists but really just worship them.

Some of that is maga, most of that is worse.

Luckily people with deranged opinions like yours will always have reddit and x to call home.

‘comrade’ seems to make it a dig at communism or sharing economies in general.

Libs can only pretend to support one minority group at a time, and the gays didn’t help them get elected this time 'round.

Oh you sweet summer child, you still don’t pay attention to actions instead of words? Gitmo can be closed by executive order, and can be emptied by executive order. Obama didn’t close it, didn’t even try. He could’ve done it day one, or at least not interred new prisoners… But gitmo hit max capacity and stayed there under his term.

As far as abu graihb, it’s existence was explicitly allowed due to Dems. It wasn’t a rogue executive, it was explicitly allowed under the patriot act. Along with the hundreds of other black sites across the world where civilians were held and tortured without charge in the name of us national security.

And back to lgbtq, the group Dems actively hated on the federal level until scotus used a loophole to legalize gay marriage and it became profitable for companies to market to that demo. No, of course they don’t deserve to die, but the smart ones already have a second citizenship and jumped ship in the Clinton era when Congress was debating whether to make sodomy a federal crime. The real smart ones are still in the closet given the US governments continued hostility towards minorities.

But for those either too brave for too stupid to meta game that deeply, I sincerely hope they head to Canada and try to catch a boat to the EU as soon as possible. But my advice for them hasn’t changed in thirty years so maybe you aren’t going to count that sincerely as you seem to think the US was ever safe for non white non cis non straight non men.
