Man I'm old enough to remember how right wing America was angry about the FBI raid in Waco. Nobody really gives a shit about the constitution it is all about ideology. ICE is going after immigrants so nobody cares about the razzias.

Unfortunately American politics has completely deteriorated to a civil war between red and blue. Which I suppose is another thing that was predicted but not acted upon: the establishment of political parties.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to let a president appoint the supreme court was a naive fool.

I have visited websites that are literally unusable because of ads. Do companies even care anymore? Is everyone THAT desperate for advertising revenue?

I have a Samsung A55 but I shudder to think that soon the AI crap will trickle down to midrange devices. Samsung is "all in" on AI.

How much of the world's traffic goes through Cloudflare? Won't be surprised if in 75 years we all learn it was a NSA front lol.

There's a reason why in most companies the CEO isn't allowed to put up inane rants on social media.

It's not private homes that are at risk. Agriculture and industry use up the most water and they absolutely do not want to pay.

Ah but this is an argument against private ownership. The ultimate power, including violence, lies with the federal government. Thames water can't shoot dead protesters or council members but the government definitely can and will.

The Netherlands is expected to run out of water in a few decades. Turns out climate change means you end up with a lot of rain in a short time followed with long periods of draught. Not a single Northern European country is equipped for thi

Sri Lanka was borrowing from China and as you know China is the big enemy of the West. The fact that Western countries aren't investing in Sri Lanka is always conveniently ignored. The CCP aren't geniuses they just fill a vacuum.

People do which is why when a police officer that asks for money during a traffic stop is told to fuck off in a Western country. Smart people did this math as far back as the 19th century.

The corruption is a cultural issue and each of those protesters would ask for bribes if they ever get into power.

I think people like to overestimate just how much society cares about democracy and human rights. Many of us will trade it for peace and prosperity when push comes to shove.

Chinese people who get out have to face the reality of a very racist Western world who will never appreciate them. As China develops and becomes richer eventually the idea of moving from Shanghai to New York no longer looks as attractive.

Vast parts of the US are not economically viable and basically propped up by blue states.

At least in my country you can appeal your extradition on the basis of human rights.

Oh yeah for me personally iPhone was never a consideration because I despise being treated like a toddler and dislike "ecosystems". And Apple being a middleman parasite for every app wasn't something that I had much sympathy

I think that's kinda unfair. There are civilized states like New York and California. Unfortunately the US has a strange system in which the most populous and economically vital parts of the country have the least influence in Washingt

The American economy is not collapsing because of cheap TEMU crap from China. So what we are left with is pure ideological pseudo fascist BS that boils down to "real men work in factories"

People get angry when you say this but you are right. Paid holidays, retirement, health insurance. There is a reason why Nazis were popular. Ofcourse it was all built on economic quicksand.

My thought exactly. The universe has near infinite resources. There is nothing in our solar system that needs conquering.

If detectives had limitless time and resources they could go through every damn doorbell and CCTV camera but they ain't going to do that unless the case involves dead kids.

But isn't flyover meth country red anyway? American politics for all intents and purposes is a very simple game.

Depressingly this is exactly how it went in the 19th century only instead of railway barons we now have tech barons.

Americans now hate capitalism. If you predicted this 40 years ago people would have called you crazy.
