- FpUser 6y agoWould you apply the same logic (screw them) in regards to world powers? None of them ever hesitated to support tyrants when it did suit their goals.
- varjag 6y ago…yes? Is that a trick question? Supporting tyrants against their people on some feeble 18th century concept of 'sovereignty' is why we have the crisis of the last decade in the first place. Freedom for everyone or screw it all.
- wwright 6y agoOut of curiosity, what is the “crisis of the last decade?” Honest question here, I’m personally not aware of any “crisis” that hasn’t been ongoing for several decades before the 2010s.
- varjag 6y agoThe world-wide rise of authoritarian right, propelled by refugee crisis, which in turn is a consequence of appeasing tyrants.
- FpUser 6y ago"feeble 18th century concept of 'sovereignty'" - you are willing to do away with the borders? "Screw it all" also sounds very practical
- varjag 6y agoI will do away with concept of sovereign, a non-elected owner of a territory. Non democratic countries are not real countries. And screw it all is a right attitude, uncomfortable it may be to gatekeepers of freedom realpoliticking in their safe countries.
- lobotryas 6y agoWait, you actually want “America world police”? And who decides what is or is not democratic? In your world, what would you do against Saudi Arabia (I assume you’d see them as not democratic and thus not a real country)?
- FpUser 6y agoThe "world police" is already here. Look at all the downvotes as soon as someone disagrees with the party line. Democracy my a$$.
- FpUser 6y ago"Non democratic countries are not real countries." Lemme up the ante. Countries without free medicine and guaranteed basic income are not real countries". Someone need to come and teach them a nice lesson. "Screwing" will help as well.
