Sure, I can buy a better product for 10 dollars that's made in Vietnam by a Chinese company, but this piece of shit that costs 150 dollars before tax and has no aftermarket replacement parts anywhere says "Made in the USA".

Which is not just morally horrible (which should be the end of it), it's economically horrible. It's very unsustainable, will plunge the working class into debt (and then into debt peonage, most likely) and then the market goes kaboom and there's no guarantee that the world bails out the US again.

You've got it the wrong way round, the axis of evil which is NATO did denounce the elections. Most of the rest of the world sent observers who confirmed the results.

Few exceptions, of course, as Lula seems to rather like how his ass feels on the fence and Boric hasn't found a boot big enough that he won't have a go at licking it.

I'm sorry you're unable to defend a single point without resorting to contrived scenarios where every option except the one you want is unbelievably stupid or cartoonishly evil

Condescension is bad enough when you're an expert, but when you think yourself the only smart person because you're not as dumb as the dumbest people on earth, it's just laughable.

I can understand your point just fine and I struggle to see why the analogy is needed except to distort the truth into some fantasy world where getting killed by a gun and getting killed by a knife are just such an obvious choice, because one is shit and the other is an artisanal brownie or whatever you're pretending this is.

Less genocide, but not the stopping of genocide? Man, do I not feel sorry for gringos when they act like this is a moral choice.

How would you know, anyway? They refused to acknowledge there was a genocide in the first place while they sent a record amount of money and weapons. Oh wow, such harm reduction.

Maybe stop with the dumb fucking analogies and talk about the real situation for a change. It's not too complex to talk about (and if it is to you, holy fuck, maybe shut up and do some reading first?) and you're fooling nobody with your deflections.

You're not supposed to talk about the real world, idiot, I specifically provided a scenario where you'd rather die than eat ice cream 🙄 I stg sometimes I feel like only I understand politics smh my head

It's not that the analogy is incomprehensible, it's that it's reductive and disingenuous to the point of being nonsense, like every lib analogy.

Y'all refuse to talk about reality as it is because in the few cases where you actually know anything about the situation, you can't make a decent argument for your position without infantilizing the fuck out of the entire thing. It's all "who's Voldemort in this scenario?" and "which party is the sour kid who doesnt share their toys?". It's fucking embarrassing.

I posted this somewhere else with the source and libs pretty much asked me the time in moscow lmao. Gallup is in Putin's pocket confirmed.
