Where does the "I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian" trope come from? Genuin question

"And many will and not blink at the demands or danger. That's what men do."

If you feel no responsibility for your family to come home everyday and be a good husband and father, then sure. If your life doesnt mean more to you, than offer it for your boss, then im not sure what to say.

The jobs that will be left for ordinary americans are shit paying and dangerous physical demanding jobs with no benefits regarding pensions and/or healthcare. If this is what americans want, then sure, do it.

The whole US economy is - at the moment - one big bet on AI. The ultimate goal of the AI frenzy is to cut down employment for big coorporations and cutting their costs. Not to employ more americans to a higher wage with benefits..

Nothing to understand about crypto here, besides moneylaundering.

Dude, the government is literally closed down, no one knows for how long, the economy is in shambles and the president is doing everything he can to cash in on one crypto scheme after another. America will never be "great again" with Trump at the wheel besides for scammers, schemers and billionaires

The audience is Donald Trump. The channel have been dying for years, has the oldest viewers and have failed to modernize multiple times. Its just about not having their coverage be too offensive for Trump, or even favourable for him, and not being in the way for mergers or other political favours.

Its like one kind of good thing relieves him (in some eyes) of all the catastrophic results on the rest of the board.

In my own country, im danish, a lot of media personalities loves Trumps policies, and these smaller victories are always used as a "maybe hes alto right about all the other things"

jonasandersen64.bsky.social @jonasandersen64.bsky.social · 1d

I dont mind Trump getting the credit, frankly i dont think its important which world leader could get it done. What does infuriate me, is how so called centrists insists how this is a sign that all the critics have misjudged Trump, his work-ethics, his commitment to peace and his intellect.

I mean, if democrats were more interested in the radicalization of their republican collegues, instead of behaving like they live in the 80's, and lot could probabaly have been prevented.

Isnt the point that some Inca and Aztec fractions tried to use the Spaniards as a tool to kick out their internal enemies and get power for themselves but got punished for it in the end, becaude the spaniards didnt care about them at all..

Danske borgerlige elsker at give Trump ros for ting han slet ikke fortjener at blive rost for. Men hvis man kan rose ham for Israel/Palæstina, så havde han nok også ret i andre ting, som man passende kunne få indført i Danmark

Not exactly related, but 'The Crash Reel' about the snowboarder Kevin Pearce were very interesting in this regard. Even for someone like me who neither knows or care about winter sports.

Hvordan vurderer i sandsynligheden for at Pogacar kan hente Merckx på all-time listen? Det er minimum tre sæsoner med +500 point (plus det løse), hvilket selvfølgelig er langt fra givet, men heller ikke virker decideret usandsynligt

One of the reason i finally bit the bullet and cancelled my subscription. Its just insane how they insist on platforming these hacks.

Also, why does this kind of shit qualify as intellectual debate on the right??

I wonder how effective the democracy angle would even be. Young americans - in general - doesn't believe the system works, and its hard to convince people to fight for something they dont believe in, and probably wont benefit them even if they succeeded.

jonasandersen64.bsky.social @jonasandersen64.bsky.social · 14d

"It can't happen here" is such a take after 10 years with Trump. You guys just refuse to learn.

jonasandersen64.bsky.social @jonasandersen64.bsky.social · 15d

Wait. This is an actual quote? I thought it was satire.

jonasandersen64.bsky.social @jonasandersen64.bsky.social · 15d

same lol - I asked him who in the Trump government would say 'no'. I take it as he doesn't like to think about it..

jonasandersen64.bsky.social @jonasandersen64.bsky.social · 15d

Again, you treat Trump as a rational actor, and not as a guy who thinks he will never leave office. Who in the Trump admin - with the power to do so - is going to tell him that no, you cant gun down these anti-trump protesters in California. Give me a name.

jonasandersen64.bsky.social @jonasandersen64.bsky.social · 15d

Thats not why it doesnt happen very often. It doesnt happen because its bad optics, and in most countries you would certainly be thrown out of office and straight to jail for doing so. The act of killing multiple people in a group is the easiest thing in the world for soldiers.

You don't need competence to gun down a bunch of protesters. It's really the easiest thing you can do.

jonasandersen64.bsky.social @jonasandersen64.bsky.social · 15d

Honest question: Do you really think it can't happen? And why? Trump isn't really a rational actor, why the "its a dumb/wrong thing to do" analysis doesn't really help.

jonasandersen64.bsky.social @jonasandersen64.bsky.social · 15d

Not stroking it. More like begging you to take it seriously and to expect and prepare for the worts. The "this will never happen (here)" crowd doesnt really have a good track record regarding Trump.
Im still waiting for all the institutions who apparently would put up some guards around him

You are talking like all 200 million adult people will be up in arms (figuratively and literally), while at least half of the Trump base would be eager to join, most of the other half wouldn't care and the rest too scared. A lot of "the rest" wouldnt want to get involved or be too scared.
