I don’t think he’s as stupid as we all think he is. Well, I do and I don’t. Ever have a friend who just got musical theory from a young age? Trump is a grade A dumbass except when it comes to being a calculated piece of shit. I’ve never seen anyone more successfully opportunistic with dipping their toes into what they can get away with than him. It’s honestly an impressive, albeit morally bankrupt skill.
If they used to dream something that they are still dreaming about, it is still “dreamt” in past-tense.
If I still “play” baseball every day, and I referring to a game, I say “I played baseball,” because it is in the past. You would not say “I play baseball game last week” even if you are still currently playing baseball.
Make sense? I mean this politely too, you mentioned English not being your first language.
I agree 100%, but the fact still stands that plenty of people absolutely want it, even if they don’t understand and are wrong about what it is.
That’s great, and I am also in STEM and agree with you. But we’re only two people.
And I never said we did, so what’s your point?
I agree with all of this except the end.
People absolutely asked for AI. I hate it, but it’s false claiming it wasn’t desired. Tons of people in STEM fields dreamt about it for years.
I think you could argue that the five Nordic nations are pretty friendly with each other, and it’s not just interests. The Nordic Council works very well. I can’t think of anywhere else on Earth I could argue this though.
What if they wage an ineffective war that still kills millions despite them losing because their delusional leader wants his name in the history books before he dies?
Yeah, I mostly listen to death metal so I’ll just see myself out.
That’s it, we’re moving to Syria.
I agree with all of that in its entirety, the world was a much different and considerably smaller place.
To play devil’s advocate though, there is potential for the right person or persons to harness social media to draw historical attention to one. I don’t think this will happen, and it would turn into a giant mess of a media shitstorm, but it is an interesting idea to think about.
There are some pretty big ones that did work though. The Women’s Suffrage movement in the US successfully used a hunger strike to force Woodrow Wilson’s hand and he was put in a position where he had no choice but to cave to the movement.
These ideas still work in smaller nations, but the idea of the American public toppling the US government in 2025 is absurd. Even if you ignore that we’re completely incapable of finding commons goals as a nation, you’re still being turned to pink mist by a drone while you’re waving your assault rifle you bought at Wal-Mart around on your front lawn.
And if you add in what I ommitted, its impossible. We can’t even get over half our population to stop supporting pedophilia, there’s no way they’re coming together for a revolution.
This would just turn into a years long, brutal, violent inaurgency with probably several civil wars occurring at the same time as fighting the government.

This was really interesting. Thank you.
That’s sort of the problem with… reality, man. Both you and this kid are right, life isn’t black and white and there are a lot moving parts.
You’re 100% right that nobody should be getting political information from social media. This kid stating that is showing his age. Social media is a cess pool to become politically informed.
But he’s also right that this sort of thing can be a slippery slope.
I just want some skateboarders to head this way man. And some death metal folks to show me new music.
It’s been largely forgotten that the Russian invasion at the start was an absolute diaaster, and their entire armed forces literally broke down on a road for like a month. The entire Russian empire could have been knee capped for generations right there if just one nation had bombed that road.
I’m American and I agree that nothing short of a catastrophic collapse is going to solve our own problems domestically, as well as put a stop to the laundry list of horrors we commit abroad.
Are you European or American?
What is your stance on Roe v. Wade?
