They are both awful, yes, but one side is distinctly worse than the other
Yeah, a slow decline of the US empire is preferable for the third world, China, and Russia than to have to deal with Trump's weird international politics. With Joe you get a predictable further collapse of US power.
What a weird and terrible take. Kudos for saying something so stupid that I've never heard it before.
It’s not a perfect take, but I’ve seen so many takes insanely worse than this one that I am genuinely unsure what evoked such a strong reaction to it. (Particularly since you provided no explanation.)
Most USians don't like being reminded that the empire they live in and have internalized belonging to is in terminal decline, and the options are a drawn out slow collapse and a "really flinging shit around" collapse
I didn't say it was the worst take. I said it was the dumbest.
If you want to be pedantic, I also didn’t say it was the worst take, and you didn’t actually say it was the dumbest
what does this imply? almost as if you were saying its not the worst take?
Well that plus my last comment where I straight up said “I didn’t say it was the worst take”. I feel like you’ve gotten totally confused
You never scored well in reading comprehension, did you?
Re-read the thread. CAREFULLY.
ME:implied it was a dumb take.
YOU:wasn't the worst, why so agro?
ME:wasn't trying to say it was the worst, was trying to say it was dumb
YOU:doesn't understand what implications are
ME:tries to lead horse to water
YOU:doesn't drink
did I miss anything?
Sorry, do you prefer the US to collapse in, idk, a flurry of proxy wars with the potential for the use of nuclear weapons? I much prefer the slow decline with limited proxy wars.
