RIP, my friend. I’m sorry we couldn’t pull it off in the end. Hopefully things won’t turn out as bad as we fear. It’s a small chance, though we may even exit this time of turmoil better than we were.

Bad argument. Japan and Germany were allies. Popular public sentiment to join the war had been growing before Pearl Harbor. Afterwards it would have been political suicide to not join. Moreover, it supercharged factory production and created a patriotic wave that didn’t die down for years.

But yeah, let’s just ignore all that.

What the other commenter is saying is that Europe has relied on U.S. intervention. For better or worse (for worse) we are seeing the results of placing so many eggs into what is amounting to an oversized trash bin. While we should provide support across seas, I hope the larger public sentiment shifts hard towards fixing things here. Gaza and Ukraine are big deals. What about the major issues WITHIN our borders?

Y’know, such as the slow rise of fascism over the years.

The bad faith war on drugs.

Rising costs of housing and medical, and living in general.

The clear and obvious issue with money in politics.

Homelessness.

The slow decline in experts staying or immigrating here, and poorer education.

And possibly the biggest argument for why we should step back military presence and focus inward: The absolute shit show that is support for veterans from a medical and insurance perspective.

I could keep going. Many of these could be called endemic issues. For a Nation so large we sure as hell see the same problems nearly everywhere.

I know this is satire, though it was my understanding that tourists were protected. Like, don’t walk down any dark alleys and listen when someone strongly tells you to go somewhere else, otherwise you’re reasonably safe. This was a couple years ago though, and I may be remembering things wholly wrong.

I question those years, man.

It’s politics. You could have some shoplifting charge from 40 years ago and people will yell about how you’re the worst and attempt to invalid everything you do because of it.

Joined Aug. 22nd, 2024. First post was expressing desire to be a moderator in a communism sub. Expresses support for nations like China specifically when in relation to Taiwan. Supports other odd situations and events. Has a name “JohnBrown”. If it wasn’t for the fact that you’re so unlikeable, I’d make an argument that you’re a plant to try and twist narratives and convince communities of certain ideologies.

Thank you for a level response. In the U.S. especially there are fear and anger knees jerks to some situations where a calm response is an absolute necessity. As always, there is more nuance than there appears.

You tell him to read a book.

I think you should open your eyes.
