i don’t think it’s likely that other nations will take out trump through a world war, as happened with hitler in WW2.

this is largely because i believe that other countries entered WW2 to stop hitler because they were getting attacked, or feared they were about to be attacked next. if trump doesn’t outright attack other countries, i see little reason for other countries to use military force to stop the US or trump.

well, the interesting thing is that Karl Marx himself supported worker’s right to bear arms, funnily enough.

knowing this, i’ve completely changed my point of view on firearms. yes, they do a lot of harm and definitely should be dealt with cautiously. and also it’s completely beyond any meaningful stance that facebook allows pictures of firearms, but not naked breasts.

but apart from that, the issue of firearms is more interesting than it seems at first glance, and i guess a re-evaluation is warranted.

Well i’m not sure whether it’s the tyranny they were always talking about.

after all, the US is sometimes incredibly racist, and these voices are influential rn. so it’s not surprising that there isn’t really a lot of loud voices invoking the 2nd amendment rn. especially not from the trump supporters.

I think “personhood” refers to the ability to sign contracts though. It has nothing to do with voting.

The problem is with humanity giving up control to machines.

I mean, humanity (especially in the West) has already given up large amounts of power to corporate CEOs, which can be modelled as soulless machines well enough, but installing AI would take it even one step further.

“personhood” by the law only refers to the ability to sign contracts.

companies and states already have that.

what you’re talking about is a “natural person”.

it’s worth a try, and better than doing nothing.

wages can go lower, but what will the people eat?

the people would need subsidies by the rich, which hurts the economy!

ok so this is inconsistent

i read two fucking weeks ago that economists around the world are waking up to the idea that people should have fewer children because otherwise the rich and corporations might have to pay taxes to provide income to the people that the wages don’t. if there’s fewer people, they don’t need to pay people subsidies so much. trump should talk to his economists.

edit: context: wages are predicted to drop so low over the next 20 years that people will not be able to feed themselves on wages alone. social unrest is painful and to avoid it, some sort of Universal Basic Income will be unavoidable. That would have to be paid for by taxes that the rich would have to pay, since literally nobody else has any money. You see where this is going: the rich don’t like their wealth to be taxed.

chances are high he also wouldn’t have been able to finish the talks in a meaningful way due to his health condition.

wow, that sounded so self-aware. you know what you exist for.

imagine the effort to switch accounts and find the exact thing to vote on over and over again…

kinda hits the spot, at least IMO. nothing exciting left.

here, have some spare ones:

i had them in stock.

also note that the Holocaust did not only target Jews, but also homosexuals and other minorities. Yet when talking about WW2 victims, you mostly learn about Jews. Why is that?

It’s because (some) Jews have perfected the art of victimizing themselves more than others, in the expectation to get more favorable treatment from the world this way.

I want to place bets on the debt becoming a problem eventually.

I understand saying “debt isn’t a problem” is easy, as talk is cheap. I am however so sure about my position that i’m willing to bet money on the fact that debt will indeed become a problem, even for states and governments. Where can i make such a bet?

i tried but it doesn’t feel well because of the texture.

what gets me is that the current shit you’re in isn’t really news from my perspective. The US has been doing horrible things for 80 years now, and nobody batted an eye when it didn’t affect them. What really bothers me is that people start seeing there’s a messed-up situation now.

i’d say that’s a coin flip on whether it works or not :)

(that’s because unfortunately not all parents give a flying fuck about the mental health that that child would be going to have, or rather, not have)

i’d go with something like “sure i’ll make children if you pay for them”

the moment they realize how expensive having children can be, that typically shuts them up rather quickly.
