Klingt wie der Bi-Ba-Butzemann und das ist kein Roboter.

This. Remember the cool kids from high school smoking, drinking, taking drugs? Yeah they look like 50 in their 30s now.

1993 is 30 years ago tho

I kid you not but only a few days ago someone here on lemmy argued that you can’t take anything he says at face value… Because you know… He lies. Especially if he only said it once.

Yes it was supposed to be a pro-Trump argument because Trump said he’d want for Israel to finish the job (in Gaza) and that guy argued, he’ll vote for Trump because Biden is complicit in genocide.

In Germany we’ve something we call “wehrhafte Demokratie” which basically means a democracy capable of defending itself. There are measures in place (in theory) that prevent parties that aim to destroy the democracy from getting into power by winning elections.

Someone who openly admits his goal is to end democracy shouldn’t be able to run for president. It’s what happened in Germany back in 1933. The NSDAP won the general election and took over the government via democratic means and within weeks destroyed the democracy. Never again (hopefully)

Did you though? He’s running again with a good chance to become president, again.

I can only speak for myself but I am sick and tired of the fate of the world hanging on whatever mentally deranged and unhinged extremist the US might elect every few years. Aren’t you supposed to be the oldest democracy in the world? I expect as much from countries like Russia or China but the US should do better.

The world needs the US to do better.

Yet you (America) still vote this guy in. Somethings rotten and wrong over there and you guys better figure it out.

Who did invade Ukraine two years ago? Putin can end the war anytime.

So they can keep shooting down russian jets you buffoon?

This thing is probably nasty af if they are treating it like that.

Which is funny considering the main figure of the Reign of Terror himself ended up losing his head in 1794.

Lack of education. I am not French but learned about this in school. History is important so we don’t repeat mistakes from the past.

Some may think whatever happened some 250 years ago in France is irrelevant. I’ll use this quote from the Wikipedia article to illustrate (keep in mind the estimated number of victims is even higher) :

“During the Reign of Terror, at least 300,000 suspects were arrested; 17,000 were officially executed, and perhaps 10,000 died in prison or without trial.”

That’s a little over 1% of the population (about 28 million) arrested and 0,06% executed. In the US today this would equal to 3.320.000 arrested and 199.200 executed.

And what worries me even more is there are people who look at this and think it’s fine.

This?

And why would the machines need humans to harness energy anyway? Aren’t there an almost infinite number of species on this earth that could serve the same purpose without the risk of them waking up and overthrow you? I imagine pigs don’t care much about anything and you could pretty much scrap the whole Matrix thing.

In Germany “Mein Kampf” in its unedited, uncommented form is banned and maybe that’s not a bad idea. Prevents dimwits from reading it unfiltered and … become president with a twisted world view heavily influenced and inspired by one of the worst dictators and murderers in humans history.

It’s simple. Us vs them. Not complicated like the 3D-chess he used to play in world politics.

But do they hate the guy? As much as Bill Gates?

It’s like when Trump shat on veterans and the rightwingers didn’t care.

There’s a YouTube bit where a medical professional lists the injuries they’d suffer IRL. I believe the baddies would’ve died multiple times.

Fuck dem other peoples kids

Pretty sure islamic terrorist believe they’ve got a holy duty to murder innocent people.

So… They’re off the hook too I guess.
