Freefall

They don't understand how anything works. They thought USAID was a purely humanitarian effort, ffs.

Shit is infuriating.

Strategically, politically, and economically is what I was talking about. the dark folks puppeting the GOP and trump we caught off guard last time. Now they ere prepared and are making huge plays that destabilize and put the US into inexorable decline. This one wasn't one we come back from. Now, that said, your point of view is something I did make assumptions about. If you mean just for the average citizen over the next few years, maybe a decade...then yeah, it should be okish. I wouldn't be hopeful, but it isn't end of days stuff yet. Also, if you position is as someone external to the US, then yeah, the ultimate fall of the US is absolutely a wonderful thing as larger external muntinational groups are forming in preparation for such a fall and to become self-reliant. The EU has a lot to gain from this collapse. So, in a way, you are right.

This is also all happening while China is pushing BRICS. Then you have moron American leadership that thinks USAID was the US being nice and costing us money when it was entirely a US soft-power projection strategy that is now a vacuum for China to fill. When idiots that don't understand things vote in idiots that know nothing, the USA loses hegemony and that never comes back. Also, side note, while abysmal for the future of the US, freaking amazing for the world in the long run!

I remember an old interview with a defector Soviet spy. He said infiltrating governments is hard and risky...infiltrate mayor's offices and school boards and push adgeclndas that create useless citizens. Play the generationally long game and the unstoppable US empire will kill itself. Well played sir. You won.

That's a pretty insane take given reality and observable facts.

Got my first ban for saying someone was doing something to keep criminals out of the store (in a white community, btw) and they said it was racists against black people and banned me, then autobans from other communities that mod was a mod of hit me. I repealed it asking for any sign of racism, or indeed racism in any of my long post history...they muted me, and blocked me. Reddit is trash. And yes, you can ban evade there, I do it to troll those communities and just be a trash person to give the mod more work. Look up the reddit anti-banevasion tech they use. If you want to make a hobby of bot-spamming their crap with clanker slop posts... hypothetically.

"Trump administration almost does a good thing, but catches it in time and corrects course.* 🤣

More likely he was going for "let's stop attacking conservatives" and got honest.

I'm guessing reddit didn't 'comply' because they were already actively giving the info before anyone asked.

That's not their job. Represent the people or GTFO. Hiding and keeping the machinery running smooth for the people missing it isn't "a public service".

We will will revolt so you can stay cozy, lil buddy. Already fought a war over bullshit that didn't help Americans or our security...it will be nice actually be fighting for a cause this time.

Honestly, an .ml agreeing is the only thing giving me pause. That suggests the CCP wants us shooting each other and their agents are stoking that rage. Interesting.
