Maybe you can’t avoid AWS, but at least get rid of Amazon Prime.

Of course you vote for the viable non fascist candidate. What else to do, if you do not intend to be a fascist enabler?

I think they just seek to create controversy. They don’t care for young people or people at all.

The radical ideology is called the truth and America hates it. It undermines their precious lies.

Fuck them. It doesn’t matter what they have to say.

That’s true. I was more talking about regular people defending such behaviour.

Just because a system is designed a certain (amoral) way, doesn’t mean you HAVE to use it in that way.

Trump and many others may think it’s smart to not pay taxes because of the immediate advantage of having more money. But I’d argue, it’s actually a stupid thing to do. Especially for wealthy people. They profit more from government services like a well equiped police force, good infrastructure, health services that keep their employees healthy, etc. They are just to stupid or shortsighted to factor all variables in.

Also I think societal norms and individual identity plays a big role in such decisions. I mean, why are you on lemmy and not on reddit? Isn’t it smarter to use reddit since there is more content, more users who read your comments? Maybe reddit just banned you and you have no viable alternative. But there is also the possibility that you are aware of the shortcomings of reddit and arrived at the decision that it’s actually smarter to use lemmy.

In the end, it’s your descision who you want to be. Do you want to be they guy who doesn’t pay taxes and brags about it? Or the guy who thinks it’s so smart to bribe the president? Do you want to be the guy who reads bot comments on reddit all day and gobbles up their rage bait? Even if society deems certain descisons as smart, they are very often not.

It isn’t their fault this was the smart thing to do.

Oh my, the shit Americans people say. Reminded me of this.

Picture needs more germs.

Noam Chomsky, Jeffrey Epstein and the Politics of Betrayal by Chris Hedges

Team Foucault all the way. Chomsky folded like a cheap chair. /s

Elbows up, Canada! I’m really happy to see that there is at least one nation that pushes back.

I only wish the European Commission would take note and grow some balls.

Because we Europeans are almost as fucked in the head as you Americans.

Well, obviously you did not read my comments. Or maybe it’s my bad english. I wasn’t alive back then, but my grandparents. And yes, they were guilty too. Also I’m part responsible for my shitty government. Even if I never voted for them. But my stupid country doesn’t start wars, we don’t run torture prisons or bomb schools.

Americans are like fish who don’t know what water is.

Better an asshole then a bloody American. The whole world is sick and tired of your shit.

I still play Warcraft III - Frozzen Throne. So many custom maps. I’ve got enough gaming content for another 10 years.

I mean if you American, then you did in fact send us the bill. You flattened our cities and convicted our leaders, literaly Nuremberg style. I think we deserved it back then. For me that’s not hard to see.

Why is it so hard for you guys to take a look in the mirror?

USA starts war after war and I’m the asshole because I can tell that’s not right? You call yourself “Land Of The Free” and all I ever hear from you guys is: “There is really nothing we can do about it”.

You get all defensive and butthurt all the time. But yeah, I listened to a lot of David Foster Wallace yesterday. I think I learned something(1). Maybe you give it a shot? There’s some stuff on youtube.
