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 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
but that's because I'm not completely blackpilled
None of the presidensts are going to do good
I really think at a certain point, we're going to squander the potential of America and the work of the 1900s that got us to this point on-top of the world
and we keep kicking the can 4 years at a time, eventually it will bite us
Kamala is a 4-year kick, Trump is a chance at something
What policies
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Kamala is a 4-year kick, Trump is a chance at something (edited)
A chance at what?
You guys don't go to public university in california, i've seen the future and it's darkness

I don't think the president makes out economy, and economically yeah it's a globalized world and all
if our systems continue to gridlock and innefficiently grind down though
we end up in a death spiral, a stall, whatever metaphor you want to use
concretely, I think nearly EVERY one of our public systems needs overhaul
education, healthcare, science/technology, transportation, energy, etc.
and I think Trump will legitimately be a chance to get movement on these entrenched systems
not a perfect system, not even an overhaul
