They probably could have gone the terrorist route is my point. Terrorism is just a strategy. And it was a war. They just lost and got genocided. They had no qualms about genociding their enemies themselves, make no mistake. Whitewashing Native Americans is cringe propaganda. It's funny, because people have no issue remembering that the Aztecs where brutal but when it comes North-American Natives its controversial to say they where anything but peace loving hapless victims, despite Aztecs also being Native Americans and one of their biggest cultures at that. Of course because the South-American genocides where Spanish and not political to Americans. White guilt is real brah.

Americans have no chance at beating the military. It's a pipedream that they can meaningfully resist. At best they can hope to outlast the military till it exhausts itself politically. Guerilla tactics has outlasted the US military before, but no American wants to pay that cost realistically. Nobody wants to be at the tail end of an MQ-1 Predator. You can't see it, but it can see you. Strong institutions are much more meaningful at curbing government corruption by a longshot. And the US already has some of the strongest institutions in the world. Americans are just being dumb.

I think the 2nd amendment is kinda outdated. We don't need militias anymore, private people, to run security and we haven't had to for over a century. The whole stipulation is centered around the necessity of militias, if I'm interpreting it correctly. People interpret it as a blank right to own guns with no stipulation or purpose. But guns are part of American identity, which is why its not going to change much. Other countries have very little hang ups over banning guns in contrast if they serve no functional need. The monkey, the man, then the gun.

They both a squashed people. Native Americans have been at war with Americans till the early 20th century. They had to take their kids hostage at schools and militarilly quarter them into reserves to squash them. I believe it was Hamas that invented the terrorist playbook. Suicide bombing, hijacking, etc. Native Americans had raids and guerilla tactics till fighting became unfeasable. Palestinians seem much more fanatical in comparison.

In Europe, you have two types of greens. University kids who are all idealistic and shit and middle-aged people who live in boat houses and run sea shell shops/artsy bars. The latter are really chill and warm people.

The very hungry businessman

Native Americans didn't go crazy terrorist when they got squashed. Weren't that many planes back then I guess.

You can makeup any fact and twist things to justify your position.

How so?

Your propaganda bores me

My advice would be to switch from politics as a form of personal expression to politics as a means to end. From ideals to reality as it is. From shoulds to coulds. Also, learn about human nature and how it actually works. Why people are evil and why society operates like it does and stages of development. It should jade you to green ideals as a blunt solution to the world's problems. You need to be blackpilled some more. But you don't need to force yourself into yellow. Just be curious.

Its well documented. Your being nationalistic af. Blatantly so. Even then, at least Guantanamo Bay isn't a stateside genocide. At least Americans obfuscate their evil with plausible deniability. At least you can openly criticize the American government when they torture people. China just buries their evil with propaganda. Like, who are you staning bro? You riding China crazy style.
-
No, you are spouting Chinese propaganda. What is happening against the Uyghurs is categorically a genocide. There other cases too, like forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong members. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_China And I'm certain there are more of these kind of atrocities being committed by the Chinese government. I wouldn't be surprised at least. Notice how they have to clamp down on freedom of information. Why would a government need to oppress the press in the first place if not because its insecure of being delegitimized? Like, the US is a flawed country and its history has its fair share evil, but it's not China. China can't even stop itself from committing systematized atrocities against minorities. Makes segregation look soft in comparison. I'm sorry, but I don't see how they are uniquely better than the US. It's fine to criticize the US for lacking integrity and not living up to your ideals, but its incredibly stupid to then support an even worse country relative to those ideals just because its opposed to the US. It's just plain stupid.

Bro this is just propaganda at this point.
-
They do have a nazi camp policy though. Nothing wrong with that apparently. What a load of bull brah.
-
Whatever offends me specifically, Leo. The law should conform to my biases, Leo. God is on my side.
-
That you can't fail. Any experience is good experience.
-
The US doesn't really do those things anymore. But Chinese nazi camps still exist. The US isn't perfect, no one is saying that, but it is still broadly more developed than China is. Your clearly just being campist.
-
Its such a waste of talent and potential. Bro needs better material. Ideology will fuck you up. Shitty airport self-help would be better than whatever murky forums he was hanging around. The second worst thing is when ideology makes you rich. Now you got a reason to stay.
-
Most of these are over trade. Still a step above keeping concentration camps and state side genocide of particular people's. I don't see America doing straight up Nazi shit in current day. You don't even acknowledge it. Just "America bad". The whole problem with these campist east bloc simps is that you don't measure a country by its merits but to the degree it opposes the US. Just because it opposes the thing you don't like doesn't make it good. You'd support nazis for opposing America.

I just dreamt that I found a giant 50. Cal sniper. The slide was kind of fucked and the bullets and magazine fellt out when I racked the slide. I cobbled it back together, but I was kind of scared of it exploding, but I wanted to try shooting it anyway. I though it would be funny to shoot a guy in the head that was sitting on a box far away (I was kinda aware that it was a dream), but decided to just shoot the ground instead. It shoot beautifully. The crack was loud but felt amazing at the same time. Unfortunately, the guy ran away before I could shoot him next. The message that this dream is sending is to shoot your shot I guess.

Having to pay thousands of employees and multiple studios in expensive locals is probably a big factor. It's not good enough for AAA studios to make something that's successful at a smaller scale. You don't have that problem as an indie.

The merit of democracy is that it puts limits on power. There are checks on how freely Trump can act (which is why he wants to undo democracy). Who's to say that Xi Jingping wouldn't start a pointless war just to stay in power if the conditions where right?

It's not binary between market demand and passion. If nothing else, you want a passionate life because it feels better. Where you look for opportunities to be more passionate in your life, even if you work at a warehouse. What else you supposed to do? Your not going to become good at a skill without some passion for one. Maybe the issues is not that your too passionate but that your not passionate enough. If you failed at a market venture you discovered one way how to not do it. It's normal for a business to fail by the way. People who make a second attempt at business have a much higher rate of success.

We have bans on childporn and it reduces the prevalence it would have otherwise, but there's still content being produced and consumed underground. Its not possible to maximally eliminate something that there's a demand for. Even when the penalties are severe. And the success in banning child porn is in large part due to it being niche. It would be much harder to ban the teen category.
