People in those countries are living horribly, yes, and they can see a better lifestyle of people from richer countries via internet and social media, yes. But war is the last thing running throught these people's minds. I mean just imagine living in one of those overcrowded hive cities of India, Bangladesh, Egypt etc. etc. Born there, without any real prospects for a better life. Doing god knows what jobs to survive. Most people there just slouch throught life

It is honestly hard for me to understand how anyone currently living in this world, with all this technology (especially with internet and social media), has any sort of zeal for war/fighting left in them. I can understand that zeal during the 20th century, even in 21st up until mass adoption of internet and invention of social media. Everything is so strange, post modern and memey right now, like how are you gonna seriously go to war as a soldier knowing that someone on the internet is gonna make fun of that whole war and your situation. Like the way Ukrainean men are fighting in the war whilst at the same time you see some Ukrainean women party it up at some club in western Europe. Things are just not the same anymore and I don't think people anywhere in the world have that propaganda fueled resolve and willpower anymore needed to sustain wars

Kinda strange to want to be like hoes as a man. You want to be with a hoe, but actually be a hoe, or hoelike? Wouldn't be my cup of tea at all, all things considered

You're right, you can't be bothered to be snarky, because we all know what happens in these situations 100% of the time. Men are stuck in the Stone Age while women are running around, building nuclear reactors and Dyson Spheres

My portfolio is still rising though. Where's the 200 dollars/barrel, where are all these bubbles that are promised to be popped? Still waiting

Man this forum has become such a dump

Imagine project such as this actually materializing. How incredibly ambitious and cool this would be. We don't even actually know for sure how thick the ice crust of Europa is, neither do we know the chemical composition of the ocean underneath

Exactly this, you've described it perfectly. I mean, they even call themselves the "democrats" and in most countries outside of the US, people would use the term "democratic parties" to loosely describe the block created as an opposition to conservatives. The irony is truly palpable

Definitely not just an American thing, in Europe it is the same way. One thing I don't really understand about this whole democracy thing anymore; is that neither side would be actually willing to uphold it anymore. Yes, you got individual people like Trump who are actively trying to become authoritarian, but that doesn't mean conservatism has to inherently be anti democratic. Neither does liberalism. But in these current times, if both sides believe that they are completely correct and everyone is so polarized, and both sides believe that the other side is the ultimate threat, then both sides are now anti democratic. Right? So why are we playing these cringe word games such as "saving democracy" if you inherently believe that your opposition should not exist? I see that from the both sides in the US now, and the attempts of censorship from the EU wokies specifically. So, we are all clearly moving in the undemocratic direction worplwide and yet people are still using these empty phrases such as "save democracy" like it means something

He made some good points, however it's not so much that watching some youtube channels are preventing you from becomming "successfull", but chances are, if you were actually capable of becomming successfull, you already would've been. Or you'd be working at it relentlessly and already seen some progress prior to even watching stuff like this. But the videos are obviously marketed towards unsuccessfull and unlucky people who want to find out some secret hacks, secret formulas. A lot of these socialist types lacking in grey matter conglomerate here as well. I see the point of the author of this video in how unlikely the success actually is statistically speaking, survivorship bias, etc. but that doesn't mean that it's not worth it working to get more money or that it is a good idea to just go with the flow, not work on yourself and just wait for the goverment to change and give you something. Or that success is purely dependent on luck. Author of this video is obviously kowtowing to this demographic which is also spending a lot of time online (along with the unsuccessfull, unlucky group seeking answers), not saying on purphose as I have no way of knowing what his calculus is, but he's effectively kowtowing nontheless

There always were and will be stressed, poor and miserable people. Catering to this group of people will ensure guaranteed degress, but since there are already indications that the pendulum may swing towards socialism in the US, I guess that might be a likely future we're going to have to get used to. We'll all get to enjoy the "selflesness" soon enough

Facts LOL But that's a human issue. Capitalism serves as a direct mirror pointed at us at all times, making us aware of who we really are as a species

It is oversaturated (been that way even before the emergence of ChatGTP), difficult and unstable field, but if it costs you nothing monetarilly or you can handle the costs, then you should give it a go nontheless. Only losers would try to discourage you

Which they always will. Unless you want to live in some lame ass ant hill

Pretty unpleasant conversation to have to be honest. Better to avoid it like a plague bro

This legalization is not for hippies, it just fast tracks research and approval of certain kinds of psychadelics for the veterans and mentally ill people for medical purphoses only; recreational use, selling or buying would still be illegal. Honestly this is objectively good

Except selfishness is not really the decisive distinction between the two. In order to win in capitalism, you need to become a highly efficient human being who's cognizant of other people's needs. And you need to keep being that way or else your business fails, or you'll possibly get fired from your job. Etc. So you may be selfish but your frame of mind and your actions cannot be actually selfish or else you won't succeed. If you compare that with the people in goverment, all they need to do is to pretend like they're gonna deliver something and then just baricade themselves for years and do nothing

I think our society should totally be structured like an ant hill. Just that there's not a single queen, but many queens. Men would be the simple obedient ants providing food an sustanance for the queens and defend the colony and all the marginalized ants (and the queens first and foremost of course) against other bad, bad ants, and we would all live hapilly ever after in our hive mind utopia

Typical collectivist nonsense. Instead of A.I. naturally pushing out therapists due to natural switch in free market demand, you want to use the state to enforce your collectivist will. Because your feelings.

Seems like Europe isn't completely lost after all

There might be something to what you're saying. Recently I've started to sense that looking at this issue purely from the POV of "Trump regime is an incompetent idiot, Epstein list, blah blah blah" is pretty reductive and NPCish. There are clearly other factors at play here and US as a country has a certain survival strategy, just like any other country. There's been some evidence and indications that war would've probably happened regardless of whether a Trump or Kamala (or any other democrat) were in office, but wouldn't have been waged in such a blunt and risky way maybe. Biden for example approved Iran bombing operation from the last June, that's one indication
