Also, I don’t understand the feddit.org thing. Why is a German instance “feddit.org” as if it’s the main feddit instance?

Originally there was feddit.de with wintermute as admin. But when the fediverse needed him most, he disapeared.

Also if i understand it correctly feddit.org is for the german speaking countries (DE, AT & CH), not just germany.

So this is what Trump needs Greenland for… He had a plan all along!

We’ll see, won’t we? It’s not like USA are the the first empire to fall. The next empire will act in their own interests just as the USA has done.

America has made shit moves, to be sure

I think that’s an understatement. It’s got some things right. Due process (at least for US citizens until the war on terror) was a good idea, but that seems to be a thing of the past now aswell. It never really thought the international rules they instated applied to themselved though.

but they supported the majority of the world’s population against far more authoritarian regimes

Like in Iran, where they orchestrated a coup de’tat against Mosaddegh? I wonder who reigns in Iran now… Surely after the helpfull intervention of the USA and UK their leadership is even more democratic and liberal now.

And I am sure their intervention in Irak had nothing to do with oil and was all about the chemical weapons we’ve all seen by now. I meand, yes, they were pretty secular back then and had a similar standart of living to us. So what, if the islamic state today is a direct consequence of US intervention and the power vacuum they left behind?

And the indescriminate poisoning of millions of Vietnamese had nothing to do with deformed children beeing born. They had to be protected from their own authoritarian goverments, you see? What are a few handicapped children in comparisson to that?

I could go on forever, but you get the idea. In my eyes the USA never was a force for democracy or freedom, but their own (and as an European my own) benefit.

I doubt China will be any better, but at least from what I’ve seen so far their imperialism seems to be mostly economic (though they might simply be biding their time).

I’m sure they’d exploit any weakness they find in us, just as we’d do to them. So basically same old story… And who’s cheering this exactly?

Considering the CDU could be considered a far right party themselves, they just wanna eliminate their competition, so i wouldn’t get my hopes up.

They literaly had an election poster with the slogan “You don’t have to vote for the AfD to get what you want. There is a democratic alternative: the CDU!”.

As long as privately owned press and corporate social media algorithms try to shift the overton window as far right as it can go that’s not gonna happen.

Your username suggests your problem is we are preparing to go to war with the wrong country, lol. Not saying i disagree, just found it kinda funny.

Na, I’ll just block you :)

Could you, like idk, not copy every damn meme from lemmy.ml?

Ah, you mean the imaginary all powerfull being telling you not to eat shellfish?
