It’s fine if you think that.

🥱

We need more Luigis, that’s for sure.

Harris would’ve been better than trump, but that’s not the boon you may think it is.

The problem with biden and harris is they convince the left that a slow loss is winning. It’s not. The disparity in wealth continued to grow under biden, just not as fast as it would have under trump.

Until the left can grow some cajones and rescind its rampant consumerism, either politician that wins is a loss for the working class.

The delusion on these forums is palpable.

“If you don’t vote in an election, you automatically support one candidate over the other!”

Glad most of it is contained online, though.

Not really, if it came down to a civil war.

you’re actually outside the sphere of influence of misinformation and those that control the algorithm.

You think people you talk to outside of the internet aren’t influenced by social media?

In the context of electoral outcomes, it’s objectively true.

Not really, but I expect you to be delusional enough to believe it.

Got more books right here than any library on earth.

Engage in human communication.

Like it or not, that’s what social media is.

We have the greatest library in the history of mankind right at our fingertips.

Part of being informed is, you know, discussing information.

Are you suggesting individuals should take up arms against their government?

How exactly do you expect that to look? Did you see what happened Jan 6?

Nah. Lumping the people who didn’t vote in as supporting trump is stupid.

(I fully expect most of you to do it, though.)

Edit for the downvoters: Are you really delusional enough to believe that people who didn’t vote for trump are automatically going to die for him in a war? Lol.

Stay in school.

They are ramping for WW3 with the world vs USA/Russia/China…

Holy fuck I feel so sorry for the world.

Less than half of the US support Trump though, so the US would either be on the side of the World or fighting its own civil war.

Here’s the upside: new species will evolve that can take better advantage of the new environment.

As someone who’s played MMOs, 1.5% chance is actually pretty high.

Drugs are bad, that was never in question

Whew, glad you don’t get to decide what people put in their bodies.

Your assertion, since you’ve forgotten, is that the War on Drugs was bad, which research would agree with

Yes… and those who support the war on drugs can point to research saying drugs are bad. It’s sad this has to be spelled out for you.

I’m sorry you’re struggling with this. I hope you get well soon.

Ironic, considering you’ve shown us you can’t comprehend what you’re reading.

Right. And people can always point to “research” that says drugs are bad or “research” that says certain races are smarter than others.

The problem is you’re trying to be some grand arbiter of truth, or deciding who those arbiters are, when historically every argument you’ve made so far has also been used to perpetuate lies.

I recommend a different approach that we’ve actually been doing for decades. Teach people about citing. Don’t let them rely on other people deciding the truth for them, that’s how we end up with anti-vaxxers in the first place.

There is no perfect solution, and conditioning people that lies will always be hidden from them will cause them to believe whatever they see without thinking critically.

It’s fine if you think that, but you’re opening yourself up to controlling aspects of people’s lives you have no business controlling. You’re essentially taking on the role of their parent.

People would say similar things to “justify” the war on drugs. “Drug users are hurting themselves, so we’re doing a good thing by keeping them illegal!”

It’s fine for you to suggest Americans should take up arms against their government.

That said, do you really think the individual American should do that?
