Cause saving everyone’s lives for the sake of saving lives is not profitable and woke.

Fucking morons.

      That is the most disheartening part. I didn’t build American Hegemony, nor was I victim of it, but damn it if there wasn’t a chance we could have collectively come to our senses and practiced what our constitution preaches. There was a path forward to that “Star Trek” future in my eyes.

        There still is and there will be

        Remember that star trek too had WWIII around this time, before they got to their senses

        Then again, its a show, of course, but it’s a good example to aspire to

        Shit, you ain’t even getting Starship Troopers.

          It has been like a year or two since I have seen it, but what am I not getting?

          One of my favorite parts of the entire movie was how it was literally a propaganda film with the advertisement for the televised execution.

          I will say, your post should have had:

          You’ll get the fascism part and not get the mixed gender bathrooms.

          Would you like to know more?

          Because my answer would be yes

        The US fundamentally didn’t stand a chance of achieving a Star Trek future. Individuals and society have opposing goals. The US is big on individuals, so society will suffer.

        I read a Chinese work on this a year or so ago. In that, our current world fell apart in the nuclear war because America couldn’t settle its differences. Humanity built a new society on top of it to be much more collectivist, though they also modified the anatomy of the human species somewhat to make this possible. Of course, some people felt that the price of preventing the rise of another Trump is too much to pay, and started a revolt.

        The question put forward by that work is essentially this: Suppose you had a magic button that made everyone feel immense empathy for everyone else, and want to genuinely improve everyone’s well-being. However, this will cause everyone to live simple lives, forever. “Interesting times” will be a thing of the past, for better or worse. Would you take the offer?

      It seems a certain portion of this country are completely unreachable by logic or reason. Virtually all of those types seem to be unshakable fans of Taco.

      Watching conversations like those on The Necessary Conversation where they talk to their conservative parents is…wild.

        I’m not too sure about that… yeah, there are those that are completely lost in limbo and won’t ever get out of it, but I’ve seen loads of cracks in the Maga base for months now. I’m wondering how much more those people are willing to take.

    This administration is directly increasing mortality and morbidity. How do we bring a class action lawsuit, from the entire world against this administration.

    A senior HHS official said on Thursday that the WHO “strayed from its core mission and has acted contrary to the U.S. interests in protecting the U.S. public on multiple occasions.”

    The U.S. has interests in protecting the U.S. public? News to me, citation needed.

        I was catching up a bit on Scott Adams after he had passed and saw that he had said that ivermectin did not work for him in treatment for his cancer.

        Ivermectin. For cancer. Facepalm

    The cons have always been idiots about world organizations, but I think Covid completely broke their brains when it came to issues of health.

    The anti-vaccine bullshit combined with unhinged nativism and conspiracy theories about Fauci and Wuhan, etc…

    And now we have a complete dumbass like RFK jr trying to deny Americans vaccines and push even more protein onto Americans.

    JFC.

        LOL, yeah.

        I’m bracing for things to get even stupider in my conversations with gym bro nutritional experts that take it upon themselves to go macronutrient-splaining how I’m not going to be able to sustain myself on a diet I’ve been eating for decades, LOL.

        It was already quite stupid already.
