Either Trump is the greatest genius to be President, he's surrounded himself with even smarter people and his apparently counterintuitive and counterproductive actions will achieve a great success some time in the future.
(Trump isn't wrong about everything, you can't run a country with a U$1.8 Trillion annual deficit, uncontrolled immigration and evil jews evil Canadians making everyone addicted to drugs)
Or, Trump is a deranged orange fascist who was born a psychopath, never disciplined as a child, never made to learn anything in depth or forced to face the consequence of his actions, has surrounded himself with equally sociopathic morons and grifters who collectively don't have an infant's understanding of cause and effect or a single iota of empathy between them.
Really hard to say which is the right answer at present, its fun watching it play out.
On Gaza, Trump forced a ceasefire while Biden lazily presided over the worst genocide for generations.
Trump is going to force the shittiest possible 'deal' on the Palestinians, and the Ukrainians, thats how ugly americanism works I guess.
Fuck Israel
"fun watching it play out" is a bit of a nauseating take on sciences and services getting drawn and quartered by an ironman cosplayer with a custom hairline and no relevant qualifications. this "let it burn" stuff is the kind of attitude the internet (and angry old boomer men) sported when voting for trump in the first place. lul pepe or w/e.

Obviously its not funny watching a country go full retard, and there are wider consequences, but Uh-merica voted for this, what am I supposed to do?unnamednewbie13 wrote:

you'll note that dilbert still pretends to be horribly offended and bothered about my trolling, on an insular internet forum with zero real-world purchase, 15 years ago, and makes out as if it's some disqualifyingly anti-social thing that wrecked the commons and polluted the waterways of discourse.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

but in response to actual real-world monstrous shit, and political decisions which are affecting the lives of millions of people from the get-go, his adopted stance seems to be ... to act like an internet forum edgelord and 4chan troll circa. 2007. most of his replies to things with very real implications is to ... troll?
curious, isn't it?
America as a whole rejected all the principles you hold dear and elected someone they knew to be a vicious, corrupt fascist and rapist, in return for bread, circuses and cheap gas.
There is no hope for many issues, climate change for one - the window of opportunity is gone, thanks to the stupidity and selfishness of the collective.
Maybe when global warming has hit 10C and 90% of the planet is uninhabitable power will be ceded to the STEM guild much too late, who knows.
All thats left now is to take pleasure in the little things - by which I mean cat memes.

That and your 'trolling' was a whole level of viciousness above everyone elses, hence the multiple permabans.
Fuck Israel
yep, okay, so the nihilistic edgelord act it is then.
it's just not a very interesting or productive stance for me, sorry.
besides, we are still talking about shitposting on a FPS game forum. if you can't see the orders of magnitude difference in harm between internet arguments and politics that deport or kill people, i honestly don't know what to say to you. you're too lost.

dozens of active members got permabans. half of the people who have continued posting here in the site's long senescence have 3-4 old accounts which are permabanned. what are you talking about?That and your 'trolling' was a whole level of viciousness above everyone elses, hence the multiple permabans.

your life, i suppose.
your emo posturing is having a great impact on all 3 of us here!
What do you want to talk about?
That all the solutions are right in front of us and nothing is being done and never will?
America elected Trump knowing he was a destroyer, getting worked up over every act of destruction doesn't really solve a lot.

i think it's pretty funny that you have prated on and on about this case for putting STEM lords at the centre of government for - what? - 10 years or more now?
and now there's literally the STEM lord icon in the white house, with a team of assembled software coder sperglings around him, recruited from outside of those elitist smug snob institutions you bemoan so much, doing untold damage and levelling their own STEM-brained ideology against the state and populace ... with predictably terrible results.
and instead of actually conceding that, wow, this hobby-horse of yours which you've ridden to death here, ad nauseam, over the last decade, might have had all the predictably bad outcomes that people warned you about ... instead of any intelligent reflection on what's happening in real time, and how that may reflect on your politics and worldview ... you make dumb jokes and essentially post the trollface.
'trust the plan' you keep saying, cryptically, knowing that you literally have an engineering CEO, experienced project manager, manly-man-of-action, anti-liberal government in place.
whenever anyone points this out, you retreat into ... oh, well the world is ending, humans are stupid, too bad! you're about 14, mentally.

I think Democrats need a 'return to basics' campaign of protecting Medicare, Medicaid, and social security. I think a huge part of the working class would still vote Republican though.
