Oh you're a libertarian. Driving licenses are a government overreach kinda person. I don't think this discussion is gonna go anywhere.

I don't know what world you live in that a license plate on your car is ok in terms of privacy, but a phone that reports whether you were using it while driving is a surveillance state.

Draconian punishments do work for the vast majority of people. Most of Asia has very strict laws against drug use, even weed. If you look at rate of usage, it's a lot lower than more liberal places. But I'm not even saying put peo

Do you genuinely think that if you kill someone because you were driving on your phone, that information should be hard to access to an investigator? Like, I understand that privacy is important. I agree that it is. But if you choose to dri

You're literally dismissing the fact that the USA executed a coup in my country because I didn't acknowledge that it would be bad if Russia did the same thing.

Buddy, I'm from South America and I had to learn English and move away from my continent in order to have a chance at a good life. I've already been colonized by the USA. Don't tell me to be thankful because Russian would hav

Ok? What's so bad about speaking Russian? English isn't my first language, I have no attachment to it. If Russian had become the lingua franca of the world I'd have learned that instead.

The US backed Guaido's illegitimate claim to Venezuelan presidency as recently as 2022. You're right that it wasn't outright military interventionism. In my mind, there's little difference between supporting a coup cover

It's disingenuous to ignore the effect the aggression of the cold war and its aftermath had on the current Russian situation. With Taiwan, it's a delicate situation and I'm not familiar enough with it to comment on it. But I

You talk about a country defending itself as if that's what militaries do. The US military has been intervening in the world stage for 80 years at this point. Take any country below the equator and chances are the US has probably used

No, we just have a different perspective. USA is the bully, not the rest of the world. Any country that grows powerful enough to get in the eye of the USA needs a strong military, because the USA has a military and a record of interventioni

Sorry, I guess I'm wrong for thinking the empire that literally installed a brutal military dictatorship in my country is evil. It was actually benign the whole time. Please torture me, it's actually good to be tortured.

I could make literally the opposite argument. Other countries antagonize the US because of its military interventionism. If the US had lower military spending, other countries wouldn't feel the need to be aggressive. It's childish
