not, to zero, obviously
but at least less than it is now, fuck
Vance isn't pro-Israel enough
What about 80 years epic change theory, will it break now
Since the idea is washington then lincoln then fdr but who now
Uh oh
Fallout incoming
I will be the salt lord
You have no idea
I mean, in all likelyhood Trump looses Taiwan while in-office
which is a blow to his peacemaker schtick
even if he ends Ukraine and pauses the Palestinian genocide
he'll be remembered for losing Taiwan
Idk i think china got spooked by how the ukraine debaucle went
zero chance, no one's in a position to protect Taiwan
Taiwan loses to a decapitating strike within 4 hours, we'd have no chance of stepping in and stabilizing it like in the past
One day i will own a spice plantation
I mean, I don't think the world ends if we lose Taiwan
Do you think china will ever become dynastic again?
I don't think anyone outside of shithole tribes i nafrica
want to go back to kings
Idk man
and Lichtenstein*
They don't get as influenced by money and stuff
Idk just kind of crazy how everything chaged like that so recently
I suppose it has to do with gunpowder giving power to the average citizen
But were pretty past gunpowder in terms of military tech at this point
I feel like at some poont monarchies will make a comeback
imo, monarchies only make sense in the context of SMALL states, which the world is moving away from
popular sovreignty is dead, more nations will consolidate the small nations around them and we're gradually returning to regional blocks
My big theory though is in the future we wont be colonising planets but instead just live on spaceships. Planets will just be radioactivr wastelands due to nukes and everyone will have digferent forms of governments on their spaceshups
fun fact Zyton, nuclear Winter as a theory is less of a sure thing now
so the odds that we can destroy the earth by lobbing nukes and MAD the Earth to a wasteland is kinda tenuous
Replying to legorhin #jazardly aren't nuclear power plant failure sites livable far quicker than people theorized?
yup
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 imo, monarchies only make sense in the context of SMALL states, which the world is moving away from popular sovreignty is dead, more nations will consolidate the small nations around them and we're gradually returning to regional blocks
The small monarchies will survive because they're "quaint" and thrive off tourism and, like you said, their size. Too small to matter. It'd be more of a headache to integrate them than they're worth
If we returned to a decentralized construct of nations, and devolved huge amounts of power locally (confederations) then I could see monarch type power being held again
but short of that, nah
but Loveland
abortions
Why shouldn't they be issue #1? It's an issue people care about so people will vote based on their opinions of it.
Added bonus of not needing to actually do anything because you already told everyone it's the enemy's fault. If nothing happens it isn't your fault, it's the voters fault for not voting hard enough
Replying to reorruatrnte #toughbrook Why shouldn't they be issue #1? It's an issue people care about so people will vote based on their opinions of it.
I mean fair enough it just feels silly, we should've been past this by now
Spooky thinks that it would be worthwhile to try to define bounds on abortion as a means of compromise
but neither side wants that because then they can't fundraise off of it
same with weed, student loan forgiveness, etc.
I agree Loveland, fuck fighting Israel's next war
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Spooky thinks that it would be worthwhile to try to define bounds on abortion as a means of compromise but neither side wants that because then they can't fundraise off of it
My stance on abortion is quickly becoming close to my stance on Israel Palestine
Kill em all at this point idc
If we go to war phijkchu gets turned into a propaganda bot farm
That's us being drafted
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 fun fact Zyton, nuclear Winter as a theory is less of a sure thing now
😮
Replying to Rusp #rusp. Truthfully if trump loses I won't be that upset I just want him to win to see the epic freakout that will come after
Honestly I would also like to see this. Also more of my friend support trump than not so they will be more annoying if he loses
I strongly want Trump to win, because I do still have some hope that he'd enact more change in a system that I think DESPERATELY needs anything it can get
even a tiny bit is better than the course we're on now
