#3 any day all day.

He’s got advisers, sure, all of which either got their own agenda or are dumb as fuck yes men. Some are both. Everyone has been fired or bullied out by other means by now.

They’ve replaced or outright destroyed entire parts of the government at this point.

That’s quite the understatement. He’s actively sabotaging the entire planet.

I’ve lost four friends to this war so far. Two were actively fighting in the volunteer forces and hence knew what they signed up for. The other two very much didn’t.

While the third was a random drone into his apartment, what the russians did to the fourth one I can’t consider human by any standards whatsoever.

I also indirectly lost my father to this shit. He married a Russian a few years before the war and suddenly started saying the very same things you were writing here. She’s from northern Russia but still supports the war and Putin to this day.

There’s more, a lot more, but I don’t particularly feel like writing more since it gets very personal. Just wanted to give some perspective.

It’s a bit different when you live an hour from the Russian border and have friends and/or family directly involved in the war.

Unless that’s your reality, too, and you actually understand Russian and their general attitude towards anything west of them, you maybe, just maybe, are missing a few things here.

As for the CIA or US fuckery in general I think we all know they’re just about everywhere. Ironically, it’s probably a bit different now since the US are losing their soft power quite quickly, either by design or sheer idiocy.

Should’ve told her.

They are russian talking points and have been since this shitshow started.

Their state-owned TV has been parroting these for years at this point, in between unsubtle threats about nuking shit and straight-up lies about more or less anything conceivable.

If you can’t admit that or are ignorant enough to not realise it, you’re not really bringing anything worthwhile to this discussion.

It’s a Finnish baby, knives are mandatory.

Jokes aside, I’m a Swedish speaking Finn who happened to move to Sweden for the last year of school and my teacher made a point of reminding me it’s not okay to wear a knife to school.

She made quite the face when my mother told her we stopped that particular tradition about a century ago.

But still, it’s something of a national joke, lol.

Are you implying that you don’t use Arch?

The Nambu has a notoriously weak cartridge. With a skull like his he’d be liable to botch it badly and probably wake up with a full diaper and a headache.

Not sure if that’d be better or worse than the alternative really.

Also contrary to popular belief they’re generally really well made unless it’s an extremely late one. 8x22 is just really really weak.

Yeah you’re hating alright. You keep popping up and since I have you tagged as the “15 year olds are childbirth superstars guy” it’s a little hard to not take the opportunity to remind you 15 year olds shouldn’t be pregnant in the first place. Are you there yet or do you still think that’s “just the way nature intended it to be”?

Got to fix those birth rates, right?

Oh and the worst thing is that you got two accounts so you can agree with yourself about those 15 year olds. It’s a little disappointing really.

Personally I pity the teens you think should be giving birth.

That’s what incendiary grenades are for. You could even get creative and mix together some napalm for poetic justice.

In theory, of course.

You’d have to be quite the optimist to expect a positive change from the US at this point. The same points you cite works against any form of improvement to the point where it’s a borderline impossibility.

You should’ve taken Russia seriously instead of letting them slowly wear you down until they got exactly what they wanted. Dugin wrote a fucking book outlining exactly what they were planning yet nobody took it seriously. I’d even go as far as to say very few are taking it seriously to this day.

You should’ve taken care of your healthcare and educational institutions. The state of your school system is so bad I don’t even have words for it. It’ll take generations to rebuild it while the abomination that is your health insurance is systematically leeching whatever they can from people too uneducated to understand what is happening to them. I’m not judging people here either, this is a well planned system that needs to be thoroughly dismantled for people to have a chance.

You should’ve worked on the systematic racism that never truly went away. Instead it became the perfect vehicle for discord while simultaneously masking the class warfare that truly fucked everything up. It’s also feeding a prison industry that isn’t anything but the continuance of slavery.

You definitely should’ve made sure money wasn’t the deciding factor in politics and while you were at it you should’ve taxed those assholes that are destroying the planet right now. Instead they took over and now they’re running things almost exactly like they want to. What little resistance there is to their governance is divided and thrown against each other over and over again.

It’s a little late to change things in any sort of civilised way now, and we’re all going to suffer for it. The whole planet, not just your population. I feel truly sorry for all the decent people who were born too late to have a say in any of this. I know there’s a lot of good people with no good options just trying to survive. Hopefully I’m wrong and you can sort it out.

When I come on Lemmy and see people lobbing bricks at us it just makes me hate them.

Strong words from someone who thinks 15 year olds are “superstars at giving birth”. You’re American alright.

But you feel the need to hate people who judge your country for being an ass-backwards shitshow that makes the rest of the planet worse off on a daily basis.

“Geriatric pregnancy” is an outdated term for pregnancy at age 35 or older, sure. Haven’t been used by anyone seriously in a while. You managed to Google up some old ass sources, all of them American (surprise) but the rest of the world moved on a while back.

But hey, medically you’re living in something of a third world country (not your fault, but it is what it is) so it makes sense that your doctor would use outdated terms I guess. Goes hand in hand with getting 15 year olds pregnant and liking it. She must’ve thought you were crazy for being so old and all.

You make a big deal of telling us how uncomfortable it makes you, which is interesting since you also seem to really believe 15 year olds are suited to get pregnant and give birth. Can’t help but to wonder about these conclusions of yours.

As to your amusing insult, not sure why you’d think eating shit would be a good idea since you’re nominally an adult, but it’s not really healthy so I think I’ll pass and I’d advise you to do the same but hey, you do you. Just don’t do any 15 year olds.

The problem with that is there are doctors with individual opinions gatekeeping that welfare. One might think you’re disabled, while another might think you can get better. I’ve been stuck in just that kind of limbo for almost a decade. I’m required to look for a job each month that everyone involved knows I could never do, and so I have to live on the bare minimum until I reach some arbitrary threshold to get the pension I should’ve gotten a long time ago.

Meanwhile my family suffers, I have to spend what little I get on the medicine keeping me breathing and when I finally get it I’ll be too far gone to have any time left.

All this because I happened to get a disease rare enough that there are no experts and it just so happens to interact with the asthma I already had in unpredictable ways.

So tell me, who should decide who’s disabled and who isn’t?

How much gas was that doctor huffing in between getting the word geriatric wrong and declaring 15 year olds as superstars at giving birth?

…or you, for that matter, because none of that shit is true, hopefully.
