This is exactly what people said would happen when citizen united happened yet nobody did anything to stop or reverse it. It’s not like Democrats didn’t have the option to do so, they just didn’t care either

What the US needs is a parliamentary democracy

That is, besides it needing to break up into 50 independent countries because it’s obvious by now that a few of the states are dead set of fucking everyone else over just to ensure their racism, bigotry, and religion gets forced down everyone’s throat everywhere.

Let it break in into independent states, and the red states will turn into third world banana republic dictatorships within a few years and won’t be able to feed their own population. They’ll get what they want for themselves and the rest of the US states can independently continue becoming civilized nations.

Tax them?

Prohibit them

I want a world wide hard cap on personal wealth. Nobody should have more than 10 million in personal net worth. Helo, even a million might be on the high side, but cap it somewhere there.

Anything over that, 100% to taxes

You don’t have to change away from capitalism, it’s fine, it works well to generate loads of wealth and as long as there are hard caps, nobody will get crazy rich, governments will get loads in income for free healthcare, free education, hell, even universal basic income

Point is: nobody should be either crazy wealthy or crazy powerful.

Having said that, add powerto that list too. Nobody should be able to be president, too much power. Nobody should be able to singlehandedly declare or start a war just because he’s a pedophile and needs a distraction. Nobody should be able to just overrule judges and liberate their cronies for money

And after all that don’t think the US is off the hook. It needs a complete overhaul, politically, justice systems, and so on, and I’d say, split up into the 50 states it has, but now each state being an independent country. (Same for Russia and China, btw)

Thats why you want open source software, its the only software you can trust, its the only software that won’t fuck you over

JFC, selling access to a fake war board for 1 billion dollars sounds like Austin Powers levels of grifter evil

Trump is such a sad little worthless man

The US is awesomely amazing at invading other countries. This is a simple fact sustained by history

Having said that

It’s also a simple fact, sustained by history, that America suckw beyond badly at occupying conquered territories. Iraq, anyone? Afghanistan anyone?

And those had relatively easy climates. Greenland is a fucking horror show with which the US has little experience

Any occupation of Greenland by the US WILL fail eventually, the question is just how many US soldiers will have to die before it’s decided that maybe just maybe this wasn’t a good idea.

The only way it would could possibly work is a complete genocide, kill or forcibly remove ALL citizens. This of course would be a humanitarian catastrophe with very few examples in history, but I wouldn’t put it past the cheeto.

This all goes to ignore people living in the US. If you invade Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, Greenland… Do you really think that none of its citizens that currently live in the US might get ideas? Then what? You’re going to round those all up too?

Once the US invaded one of its allies, the current administration will be over, it’s just a matter of time before it will bleed to death

To paraphrase a cool movie: There is no winning move, except not to play

last straw

Really? The last straw happened in the beginning of his previous administration

Entire bales of hay followed, I’m buried under straws and I can barely breathe.

I think “last straw” is very relative.at best.

Isn’t that sort of avoidable by simply communicating with your children, listening to them, what they have to say and feel?

I mean, I know that raising kids is hard, but not fucking up badly isn’t that hard either, me thinks…

Feed your kids, educate your kids, don’t hit your kid, don’t neglect your kids, talk with and listen to your kids…

I mean, I’m sure I’m missing half of it and I’m sure there are some really complicated issues to deal with, but if you cover the basics of keeping your kids alive, water, food, shelter, and you (again) communicate… It can’t be THAT hard not to fuck up badly. Can it?

Yeah, so this is the part where the market regulates itself? Y’know, the part where ultra billionaires just dump money by the boatloads to buy up stuff that everyone needs?

Capitalism will ONLY work if we put hard caps on how much wealth a single person can hoard. Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Millionaires shouldn’t exist. There is no need for them and there is no human right somewhere that says that you really van become one.

Any wealth over 1 million should be taxed 100%, doesn’t matter the country.

With that, we can say goodbye to hundreds of problems that plague the world, including this one

New poll: 49% believe in facts

“A collection of rapists, pedophiles, con artists, racists, antisemites, and meth addicts,” wrote X user “AG,” who writes about politics on their Substack and has amassed more than 214,000 followers. “Perhaps the biggest group of losers I have ever seen in my life.”

Literally true and I couldn’t have said it better

I wonder what will happen to her once the trump admin falls. Please do tell me that this absolute piece of shit gets at least jail time

And I think that these days we all struggle at least a little

Be kind to yourself, look out for your friends, family and loved ones

Some people assholes forgot history

Good to source these claims but don’t use futurism.com as a source as it’s full of made up shit articles

DHS?

It’s time to dismantle the USA.

Its at this point a failed state and it should just fall apart in 50 independent countries. About half of them (I’ll leave it as as exercise to the reader to figure out which ones) will turn into Canada type counties with healthcare

The other will turn into 3rd world banana republics that won’t be able to feed their own population while having constant coup’detats going on. After a few decades the world will intervene and install normal functioning democracies in those countries after outlawing religion there.

A woman can dream

He already said before that if the Republicans lose the mid terms, and they would, they will, he would be jailed

He’s right

And he will be.

It started enshittified

It’s a venture capital company, what else could you expect

… You’re kidding, right? Are you 5, or something? It’s a serious question, I’m trying to understand how someone can write that down and be serious about it.

You will always need police, because there will always be misbehaving elements in society. Be it due to mental illness or plain psychopaths, doesn’t really matter, you need a trained group of people designated to be the ones to keep society nice. Let’s call them “police”

From the mad ramblings of what you wrote, it sounded like the description of police and a judge / justice system only much, much worse. You want random untrained idiots to decide on justice matters? I’m sorry no.

I want a judge who has been trained and learned how to be ethical and impartial. I want police that has been trained, especially in de-escalation, who have been checked for not being psychopaths.

There is nothing wrong with the basics of current police systems (not you US, you’re fucked up) we just need more focus on police being trained better (or, in case of the US, trained at all), being monitored better by independent groups to ensure abuses stay at a minimum.

We need changes like limiting net worth. If we limit net worth to (just an example) 1 million dollar and any income after that goes 100% to taxes, we don’t need to change anything else. Nobody can be super rich anymore, nobody can have crazy bad influence anymore, we’d literally be all the same.

Governments get huge tax incomes that can be used for free healthcare, free education, universal basic income, even. It’s a simple single change that will have the most impact.

… In the US, yes

Not outside the US
