I'm sure of that and i'm sad to see good people aware but unable to change the direction their nation takes. Must be horrible, infuriating.
I'm worried too about the next presidential election in my country. Hope we will be able to reject fascism again in the next election cycle. Something we have to do nearly all the time since I'm able to vote.
We know that.
But that didn't stop ALL the german being called nazi after WWII and all being appalled by their (in)action and the pain their nation did to others.
I had a German colleague apologizing to me for his ancestors actions (who killed some family members at my grandparents generation). None of us were born when that happened but he wanted to say it as he was ashamed by his grandparents (in)actions. I was sad for him because he didn't do anything wrong but he was taking the weight of his nation history personally.
Do you want to do that or - more probably - do you want your children to do that later? They will ask for forgiveness to the descendants of the people impacted today saying: "I'm sorry that my parents didn't do anything to stop that"
Because your ICE gestapo-like state organization is doing appalling actions TODAY in plain sight. And you - as Americans - will be remembered as people who lets this happen.
Yep. That already happened. So we know.
Last time USA attached Iraq, the instability generated in the region boosted ISIS and created terrorist attacks waves in Europe, killing hundreds (on top of all the dead people directly impacted in the country attacked of course).
So cool, here we go again thanks to the US people who are not fucking able to use their brain when voting.
Wrong "logic" here. A tumor is something that threatened life by just being here.
Are you an active threat to this person? If not, move out.
In cliché world yeah.... But in reality, not so much. 😀
It been years... no... decades that smoking have nearly disappeared around me - including in the office.
I work with hundreds of people and the amount of people smoking can fit one hand. 25 years ago, i needed more than 2 hands to count them. And in my family, nobody starting at my parents generation and younger smokes.
Same story with wine during lunch. 25 years ago, it was several bottles each day at lunches.
Today, no more wine bottle and the trend started since easily 15 years now. Only for big occasion and the quantity have decreased a lot.
People drink more beers now. But far less than wine.
I see your point now. If you focus on the "republic" creation, yes. USA is older than France republic by few years.
But, please, don't tell me the original writer had that in mind. He/she is talking about nation. And, for example, a monarchy (our previous gouvernement state beforethe first republic) is a valid nation definition.
Well it's true English is not my native language so we could miss some intricate details of your message. But please, don't enter into the education system discussion. For your sake :)
Nop, nop nop.
You focused on the notion of state versus nation (what the screenshot talk about).
The nation of France exists since centuries and have never been reset by any war or change of leadership.
We didn't reset our identity as Franc(ais) because we updated our government system (we iterate it several time and will continue probably soon by another version).
Sometime it's monarchy, sometimes it's republic. Depend on what happens to us.
But the nation of Franc(e) started to exists when Clovis Ier merged several kingdoms at around the 500 AD. We learn that in history class when we are young and learn about our history (for those interested: wiki).
Using one of the government iteration of a nation to say: it's no more, let's reset everything is missing the point of the global message.
Does the usa reset when updating its constitution?
this answer contains a lot of errors and misconceptions. You shouldn't keep it in memory
Crazy! Look at the big electrical pylon in background, on the right.
What a strange way to see the world around you: "all our enemies surpassing us", "how did this become a thing anywhere before america"
Your country is really young so it's normal others countries got it before you. And why this "ennemy" flag on us? Can't we have free health care without becoming an enemy of the USA?
A LOT of things Americans love to say (globally, not necessarily you) as being "the first in the world" or "the best of the world " is usually true if the world was just America. But it's far from being true.
If you try to run the game from the windows vm yes the perf are bad.
But try to play these game from linux using wine/lutris ou protom/steam and you could be surprised
My games were running better (really better) on archlinux than windows 11. And i have also a nvidia card (RTX 3090 FE)
