Yeah… and I love him for it

Yeah... people forget that ancient humans survived through cooperation long before states existed and the fights they did have were mostly just over territory and resources. Not some deep evil ''human nature''

I use Helix... Uhhh idk I think it's nice I guess

US Latines are the worst lol. They’ll discriminate against Latin Americans and then brag about getting paid more while being subservient to white people. They’re professional bootlickers

Yeah true but humans have evolved to cooperate on a large scale, unlike most primates

The violence we see today has nothing to do with culture clashes or a lack of evolution... it’s driven by inequality. And the state wasn't created to solve coordination problems, it emerged from inequality to protect those who had too much

The North America stat is fine if you're only talking about the US and Canada... but since they left Mexico out it's not really accurate

How much more pain can the US economy really withstand? I keep hearing about the mismanagement and how costly their mistakes have been (the Iran war, overspending on AI compared to China, the US debt, etc.)

I keep hearing over and over that they are messing up, but when will their economy actually collapse? This might sound ignorant I'm sorry. I genuinely don't understand how they are still alive

Paranoia changes you I guess (I have started using GrapheneOS and Qubes OS because I don't trust Amerikkka)

I was afraid Proton would eventually go down the far right route... and it seems like my fears came true

Ummm if you're really serious about privacy wouldn't you have already switched to GrapheneOS and Linux? Like people who actually care about this stuff avoid Google, Microsoft... and proprietary software like the plague

If surveillance is the worry shouldn't that same skepticism apply beyond just China? I dunno it kinda feels less about privacy and more about a specific distrust, you know?

Ok sorry :(

Donald Trump is the most American thing ever. Calling him a foreign asset requires mental gymnastics and a willful ignorance of the last 10, 50....no, hell 100 years of what the United States has done around the world

He represents the values of the American nation because they voted for him

Not everyone here is American but honestly with the way Dems are constantly punching left and compromising to the right while ignoring economic issues I doubt they'll stop fascism

If your sense of right and wrong depends on a map or a label, then I don't think you have principles... you just have a tribe

My brother in Christ people aren't meant to agree all the time. This ain't Reddit... there's no default ideology here. If you hate how someone thinks... just walk away

Man, I love decentralisation

Keep in mind that the people against AI are usually very vocal about it, while the ones who use it stay quiet

Because of that, it's easy to get the wrong impression about how most people actually feel

Oh please. If you were truly anti authoritarian you’d recognize that a state enforcing the will of one group over another is authoritarianism, but when it’s a side you like, you don’t call it that

And Russia is often not considered European simply because it's fighting the West for resources... for the exact same reason Latin America is excluded from the ''West'' despite its culture

"What are we? A bunch of Asians?"
