I was really sure it'd be the USA starting WW3 this time but the Germans really want no one else to claim those WW titles, do they?

There wasn't last time either technically. Last time there were also a bunch of far right idiots in power too.

The issue is the far right always gets greedy and wants more, and pisses off other countries both far right and center or left. Hence war. Don't forget Hitler and Stalin initially worked together before fighting against each other.

That's because those tend to more go boom than collapse once their leaders finish their life subscriptions.

Further recent measures taken to tackle Swedish gang violence a proposal to amend the country's constitution to strip dual nationals of their citizenship if convincted of involvement in gang crime.

Oh yes, that'll be very effective against the also significant racist gang percentage composed entirely of native Swedes that the far right parties over there aren't stoking on /s

Only enough space in Sweden for the Snus rotters after all.

Funny how Sweden didn't have these issues of gang minorities until they started passing more discriminatory policies against minorities years ago. I'm sure that didn't have any affect on things now.

Both Finland and Sweden have taken migrants over the years but only one has the severe problem, wonder whyyyy /S

But you're literally propping up a much farther right republican party, and the dissolution of any democracy.

That is, by definition, hypocrisy. That's not me calling you a name, that's pointing out a fact in your actions.

Your actions and stated desired ultimate outcome simply don't match.

Your argument doesn't follow logic.

  1. you say voting for Dems would destroy it, but letting literal fascists get absolute power would also destroy it, permanently, while also destroying why change for actual leftists to gain power.

  2. for some reason you think it's better to let the fascists win to destroy the center right, but not destroy the fascists by not allowing them to gain power continuously???

  3. you stated it's not ethical to allow the Democrats to continue existing as they are because they're not as a whole left wing and are also causing harm, but it's ethical to have many more suffer? That's just hypocrisy.

  4. you assume the DNC is dumb rather than corrupt

  5. you assume you'll still have a legitimate democracy after Trump.

Eh, I've been in your position.

If I still lived there and was still in death trajectory, I'd do it. Not for all the dumdums who should also be doing it (or the idiots who dont deserve it), but to make the world a better place (or at least try) instead of leaving it in the same shit it's in, including for anyone you love, if there's any.

I think that, maybe if you were even closer to death (as in actually terminal), you might (because not everyone has the same mindset) see the point, because people who are going to die anyway have something everyone else doesn't - freedom from consequences. Freedom of choice with societal constraints, because what can any society impose on someone already destined to meet an end soon? They can try, but what is the ultimate deterrent for most humans is non existent for people who are/were in our place.

Sure, you could call it abelist. I call it opportunist. Glass half full kinda thing. Other people, doing what we could do, have the potential to face something much worse than death in a fascist regime. Torture comes to mind.

Someone like me who had kidney failure and did dialysis though? Assuming they want to capture me to torture me, I just gotta take some potassium supplements right after pulling off what I want to and my heart goes weh.

Don't pat yourself in the back too much either - even if me or you did go through with such an act, we wouldn't really be a hero or brave or anything either. We'd be just as much of a coward, in a way, as the "abelists", in that something was only done once we basically had little to lose. If deciding that, it's only because there's already an exit anyway.

You can of course just do nothing like everyone else. Or go do more dangerous things like skydiving or giving a monkey a shower and have some fun. Certain death assured expeditiously gives freedom like no other. You have the right to be selfish with that choice just as those more likely to live longer do everyday.

But you still carry hope because you still have a good chance, that's why it makes you angry. You still have something holding you back. People who still have hope are not the same as the hopeless, nor even the same as people who lost all hope momentarily.

And that is something those in power forget too.

If most of the world is against a thing, asking if said thing might be bad isn't asking "tough questions"

Actual leftists KNEW that already. Kamala, Biden, the majority of the DNC - they're all corrupt corporatists.

But the situation the USA was in was one of minimizing overall damage. And with the corporatists, there was still a small chance of gaining some control from them peacefully via elections, if simply because more left leaning people can at least run under the Democrat moniker.

With the fascists, that opportunity is gone. By allowing them to win, not only do you worsen the genocide occuring in Israel (if not ensured Israel from achieving it entirely), but also just got killed a bunch of other people and hurt a huge amount of minorities in the USA as well.

Not voting didn't stop the genocide and never would have, but it did guarantee that it gets worse while hurting other innocents outside of Palestine as well. If you didn't vote for Kamala (which literally means "horrible" in Finnish), you're a dumbass, because you allowed a greater evil to prevail. Especially since I know many of y'all abstainers are still paying taxes anyway and funding the genocides either way.

I think it supports Galaxy S9

She voted against the railroad workers strike, so nah. She sold out to the DNC for a chance at power only for Pelosi to go assist her anyway.

She's still one of the best politicians y'all have though. But that bar is so low it's underground, so...

Well it's a good thing he wants to place 100% tariffs on Taiwan then - more chips for the EU.
