These socks ruin everything

Same me, thought it’s rather nothing bad in OF work

Fredom to what? To wasting time on configuration of every basic functionality of my computer?

The CLI installer was not a problem. The problem is complete lack of stability, inability to use software like AutoCAD, Inventor or CorelDRAW, and wasting hours of short life for configuration of things, about which you just do not need to think on Windows. Anyway, the least useless distro I found is MX Linux, but after few years with experimenting with Linux, I happily went back to Windows.

after i did such a harm to myself (installing arch), now i use windows 11

Totally, soviet planes where known from luxury and totally not from accidents /s

2, without hesitation. Can’t be so bad.

I fucking desire it

Good, tesla looks like a shit.

Well, an ability to buy stuff for a gun does not exclude the possibility to have an affordable healthcare. US does not have affordable one, but I live in a country with “free” healthcare and it is so shitty that I and my family need to go to private doctors anyway 90% of cases. We need to pay twice: one for the “free” healthcare in taxes and the second time at the private doctor. Admitedly, less fucked up than in US, but this still fucking sucks.

I’d argue there are more sides than just NATO vs China and friends. India often fucks over both sides

No, there are no more sides. India was buying shittons of russian military equipment and stopped to do so since it is even worse shit after the soviet union collapse. India is not a third, autonomous pole in the world geopolitics. Another “two faced” country I can recall is Hungary. I think there is no doubt now that Orban is Putin’s cocksucking lapdog.

glad we got em in NATO now, hope the rest of Europe catches up soon.

I think the situation improves a little, I think France underperformed despite Macron’s bold words. Now the things may get better. But there is plenty to be done, and much more efforts to be taken, i.e. military spending like during the Cold War.

as much as I shit on America, it’s largely because I’m also sacred. The US is on a slippery slope due to decades of ignorance and if the US

When I am writing it, Britain and France voted, and the results gave me hope. These are very good news for Europe. I hope that Americans will go vote and choose whoever will be Trump’s opponent. I am so pissed by the “both sides bad”, “I am not voting” fucking tankie Kremlin trolls.

If America falls and Europe doesn’t get its shit together, that’s good bye for Ukraine and then what?

Baltic countries, Poland, other countries from the post-communist block, more… Especially given the resources taken in Ukraine. Europe would be fucked.

Anyway, I wish for you and myself (also European) that the russian authoritarian scums will be stopped together with their lapdogs.

Both democrats and republicans say the fucking “you’re with me or against me” shit, like really???

Is this really what makes a fascist? Almost every party in democratic world uses similar rhetorics.

The US generally has a rich history of violently shutting down competing powers

This is pretty much 99% of human history

a 2 party system IS NOT natural for a democracy!

and what to tell about single party systems, like China? Do you call them fascist too?

American imperialist wars are pretty much build on forcefully spreading American culture at any cost

I do not feel forced to watch “Top gun” or eat McDonalds

(especially if it involves killing anybody claiming to be socialist or not christian)

thanks god they did not kill Bernie Sanders

From a young age US citizens are indoctrinated

like any other fucking country, just look at Chinese schools

the shit where they swear loyalty to the flag every morning is creepy as fuck

still, rather weird tradition or aesthetics, not a fascism, for fuck’s sake

Like christ, just look at how Americans treat foreigners

they behave like assholes at worst, still millions of foreign people dream about living in USA

Didn’t even mention the police yet…

This sucks indeed, but this is not inherent to USA, rather to police in general.

Summing things up, these accusations about fascism seems completely baseless and using the word “fascism” in the context of US is just making it meaningless and makes impression that US are similar to nazi Germany. US are imperialist at best, but boy, I prefer to live under US empire that fucking russian shithole.

In his book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them (2018), Jason Stanley defined fascism as “a cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed communists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation” and that “The leader proposes that only he can solve it and all of his political opponents are enemies or traitors.”

While this resonates with trump, could you tell me how this fits to other American presidents? What traits US poses to call it “fascist”?
