Is there anything in the US that is not basically a dumpster fire right now?

I was curious to see where my debate with the individual would end up. It was a load of nonsense but I wanted to see which arguments he'd use next. Don't oppose the band, but I do regret the lack of the entertainment I was to have to see them defend the undefensible

He is not embarrassed, I'm pretty sure.

Hmmm actchually he says "No, I'm your father" in response to Luke saying "you killed my father"

I think it's not a good look to say you'll shoot a classmate, even in hypothetical, I think it was better dismissing the hypothetical as nonsense, which it is, answering it with the question, would you condemn your population to violence and hunger? Otherwise yeah it's not wrong to have that stance just think you could go about it a little more gracefully, cause one problem is that when we are THE communist some people know they'll judge communism based on US and the optics of how you went about it might lead them to believe communists are more trigger happy then they are.

I don't hate them equally cause neo nazism is a very particular form of awful, plus I think that NATO being fucked over and prevented from spreading east is a win for everybody, but yeah Russia is no angel indeed very far from it but as I see is the least bad side of this conflict. Or whom the victory stands to result in the best geopolitical consequences as I see it

I think the sub par seems likely, although the NATO falls apart bit seems wonderful

As funny as it is, I would think the issue they are concerned about is slightly less silly than it seems. I would think that the worry is that the price of garlic from China can undercut the American grown garlic and if the whole industry would shift to Chinese garlic given the quality and low price, it would give a bit of power to China since shifting back to other sources of garlic if and when China decided to either block or hike the prices.I would think is something like that.

Correction, you don't like the current state of your public transit, which often are bad by design to make cars more appealing, especially if you're in the US since that nation kinda built a lot of wealth on top of the car industry. Public transit can be good but it has to be made a priority, which I think in your local region it is not. If it is possible and something that you have a previous interest of doing, traveling to a place with a more robust public transit infrastructure could maybe give you a broader perspective

So by your logic the Chinese communist forces should never joined forces with the KMT and both should have succumbed to the Japanese imperialist forces? When the enemy is that bad and that dangerous the luxury of picking allies is rarely afforded

Pff, amatures, here in brazil we have a huge branch of the police that is actually named Military Police, all pretense has been thrown out over here, there is a war against the people, hence military police. They get some points for honesty, just kidding military police deserves no points.

Well, to be fair, it was always run by the interest of the capital, that is the nature of the system itself, the role of the state is to protect private property after all, the shocking thing is the brazen way they are doing it lately, usually the system likes to hide this shit and pretend that democracy means something in capitalism, but now this is as explicit as it comes.
