What's one thing you are currently scared about?
Derrick
being eliminated by commie cultists for simply having the knowledge of their crimes
đ» Trinity
ah nah man, as a commie i can tell you: if someone wants to kill you for knowing something, they aren't a communist. the whole point is for knowledge to belong to the people
Derrick
knowledge of the tens of millions of innocent Russians killed under Soviet 'revolutionary' communism? Or the tens of millions more Chinese killed under Mao's international financed communism?
đ» Trinity
a lot of those numbers are overblown but you're right in that the previous (well-known) implementations of communism were atrocious. but that's not really a realistic fear, is it? dozens of authors smarter than you or me have published books detailing war crimes committed by the USSR and chinese states, i haven't heard of them being eliminated in such a manner
Derrick
haven't you seen what is going on in HK right now? Seems 10k+ are missing since the commie takeover that went hot last year. Communism is a veil for targeted genocide against people with knowledge and intellectual capacity.
đ» Trinity
china's hardly a communist country in its modern form. more like a very authoritarian capitalism.
Derrick
authoritarian: bingo - not saying there is a perfect 'system' but at least capitalism allows some potential for independence from an authoritarian state by means of accumulating wealth for oneself (ie- to escape or pay bribes to live comfortably within). Either way, the point is - you give your power (tax dollars, freedoms) to any 'system' and it will be used against you; if not now then later by opportunistic infiltrators.

Why don't we, in your opinion? Is it because we're not taught History, Civics and civil duty?

The sooner we end this capitalist dystopia, the better.
Undescartes
Are you maybe writing this from a technological device, made by capitalists? What's your definition of capitalism?

the first wave of CoViD-19 growing and growing for several months in the US. back in March, I expected to be in a strict quarantine until about now. it's depressing that that never happened and instead thousands upon thousands of people have died.

I'm so disappointed with our response to COVID. It's mind boggling how bad we did.
â€ïž Brian Mcdonough
Nature is a mystery to even the most adept and experienced scientists. Attaching ourselves to a few data points and using that to feel may mean that we're looking for a reason to feel that way.
đš James S.
Yeah, this is something that seems to be lost on some (not all, or even most) Americans - you can't position yourself as a moral/political leader and also tell other countries to butt out when it comes to their internal affairs.

Don't worry, this site is an irrelevance that almost no-one will use with a day or two. So it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, at least they should allow it in usernames. A lot of English speakers have non-English names.

Are you *truly* scared of that? How has his Presidency truly affected your life personally?
đ” David
I take everything that affects humankind at a global scale personal. He embodies everything I unequivocally reject. He is the antithesis of my behaviour, my believes, my cares, my humanity.
Camp Fire
Setting aside the impact it's had on the world, for me personally, his administration's incompetent response to the virus has had quite an impact. Lots of acquaintances laid off, lots of businesses I care about closed forever, lots of changes to every day life. The fact that I have empathy means I also care about the many people who have died or lost their jobs or are missing opportunities. The fact that I care about the United States means I care about the rise of fascism.
