Forget all the nations and their interests. It all boils down to east vs west where the west represents liberal democracy and the east represents authoritarianism. How or why people keep siding with the east is something I have tried but will never understand.

If the axis won they would've ended up fighting amongst themselves. Their ideology requires scapegoats, and they will always find them. The ideology itself is counter to peace. We had 80 years of peace because we pushed it to the fringes, but now that it's resurging I feel like I'm surrounded by people who grew up in a different world with a different history.

Then where have you been. It's likely the biggest reason she lost. A whole bunch of people decided not to vote because they blamed Biden for Gaza. When told that Trump would be worse the response was always that it can't get any worse. I submit that US occupation of Gaza is worse...

They were deists. Jefferson even wrote a new version of the Bible that excluded all the supernatural events.

All undocumented people in the country should wear Trump gear 24/7. If they're lucky ICE might walk on past them, but at the very least, it would be hilarious optics for dr. Phil to be tagging along filming ICE round up a bunch of people in Trump gear.

All in favor of changing it to "as fast as possible" show your hands. From here on the phrase shall be AFAP.

The Renaissance was a time of a vast labor shortage. This allowed workers to demand higher wages, and it also allowed leisure time to study new things and make new art.

What future uses might it have? I have only ever heard that crypto's main selling point is that it's not controlled by any government. Why is that a good thing? I can understand that sanctioned dictators and money launderers would find that useful, but what benefits are there for the average person? You might be able to make a profit off speculation if you're lucky, but in doing so you're also supporting those dictators and criminals. If it had any other use it might seem less like a pyramid scheme, but I am fully unaware of what those other uses might be.

I don't even care if I'm not rewarded. I just don't want to be punished. They have made it impossible to have a simple life.

When I first moved in to my apartment, I became friends with one neighbor because I could hear him coughing through the wall and asked to buy some weed off him one day. He would occasionally ask me to take care of his dog when he was out of town. He has since moved and a nice old lady moved in. On the other side of my apartment is a special needs adult with care workers constantly coming and going, so not so much making friends anymore.

I hereby nominate "The Adjuster" for president. He now can not be prosecuted and all investigations against him are no more than political witch hunts.
