Ha, you still think serious action will make the world better.

He explicitly supports Israel and has stated one of his goals is to make Ukraine a larger Israel.

That requires genocide, as all ethnostates do.

Every time Republicans have held the absolute minority in government, Dems were hamstrung and couldn’t pass any progressive legislation.

Somehow the reverse isn’t true.

Therefore Dems don’t dislike what trump is doing. What can be done when the uniparty reveals itself as it has, with Dems rubber-stamping anything Trump does?

Well we’re on .world. so that can’t be discussed per instance rules.

The next six months is going to be terribly surprising and scary for your racist ass.

Go back to any month in any year in the last thirty. You’ll find the same type of opinion pieces from the same people. Despite this China has raised the most people out of poverty in all of history, and has matched the US’ s GDP.

Pointless ‘china is really failing this time despite us being wrong the last 2000 times’ articles prove absolutely nothing. Because China isn’t trying to be profitable. They are not an oligarchy like euro nations. They are not a kakistocracy like the US. Their economy is fundamentally different.

How is eliminating failed management and ensuring the money held in the bank covering it up?

Do you not know how the economy works in China? Over 60% of the economy is public sector, while some of that is just state investment, some is also failed private sector businesses that still would serve a purpose without profit motive.

It would be ridiculously cruel to allow a bank to fail while it still holds the savings of ordinary citizens. And it would be ludicrously stupid to bail out failed companies and just allow them to continue functioning as they had. So you buy them, change the mission, replace the management, everyone except the rich fucks win

China’s private real estate market represents less than a third of all real estate and is less than a tenth of the economy.

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.

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.

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.

The same place they are now… They built e.g. Guantanamo or abu ghaib… Oh right libs don’t consider mena people as people so the hundreds camps to concentrate uncharged and unconvicted ’ terrorists’, some of whom were American citizens, don’t count. and neither do the camps at the border built under Obama count.

So Obama isn’t liberal now? Neither is Biden or Clinton? Neither are the dem members on Congress that happily, gleefully voted for the patriot act written by Biden?

It’s what you voted for and what your elected leaders did. You people keep saying intent doesn’t matter.

You guys built the camps, you’re mad that now you’ll also be targeted. Too bad so sad hope you don’t build camps next time.

Nope, the US is behind most global issues. The massive interference they do, daily, to the global South has hampered growth and democracy across the world.

It has been the single most evil force in world history. More colonial than the UK, more slaves than the entirety of Europe combined, and more imperial military outposts than peak roman empire. And that’s without mention the tens of thousands of assassinations and regime changes.

I mean it got so bad the US invented its own enemies wholesale like the current Iranian regime and the taliban.

Shhh the libs are circlejerking over their genocide. Let them circlejerk themselves into the camps. Only after experiencing suffering for the first time in their life do they have any hope of abandoning liberalism and right wing ideology in general.

Us isolationism would solve nearly every single problem in the world though. Broken clocks and all that.
