oh stop being the melodramatic american. the world is a huge place and is hardly affected by what happens in your local area. My country didn't change from 2016, nor did most other countries. It is not a world-wide problem.
I'm not saying you can't be upset, please, get mad--I'd be mad. But don't invoke the world's name, please, we don't care.
I think this post is about climate change, which is absolutely a global problem
Except the US won't do anything to solve their part of climate change, and the change in leadership will not affect their inaction. I think the best bet for solving climate change is a shift to renewable energy and laws and standards for AI and bot use.
Every country also contributes to climate change. It's not exactly an issue where you can put sole blame on someone. China for instance, emits the most CO2, but not by per capita, and also because they handle the world's manufacturing and emissions. The Middle East, Oceania and countries below the equator all contribute more than their share of emissions... But that's also because they're in a hotter, drier climate.
If you think solving climate change requires a switch to renewable energy and don't see the difference between US Democratic and Republican Admins, you're not approaching this from a place of rationality
Okay, what have the US Democrats done to prevent emissions? Since from my I've seen, they didn't do a whole lot. Nor were they running on promises to help prevent climate change.
Biden's legacy on climate change
vs.
Republicans and climate change
Can you give me a more neutral source?
What in either source isn't accurate? I don't think you're approaching this in good faith
Nuclear energy is the future. Companies like Microsoft are now using entire reactors for their AI server farms.
Nuclear energy is a scam devised by mining companies and fossil fuels. That's not to say it's not green or not effective. But it takes almost a decade to get a single plant running efficiently and there are multiple risks involved in its operation.
Renewable energy on the other hand is so compact and efficient you can have it on roads, or on your house, or backyard, or really wherever there's sun and wind. You can be independent with renewable energy, literally go off the grid.
Read Project 2025. And then look at the rest of the leaders that followed Fuckface 45 and his bullshit behavior. This is going to snowball to hell and back.
I don't care about Project 2025, it's not my country. It doesn't affect me in any meaningful way.
You need to remember the rest of the world isn't as stupid as the US. All the other country's trump wannabes got humiliated, defeated and left the political scene as losers and loners.
Quit assuming the world cares about your dumpster fire. Makes you part of the problem and even more deserving of it. I'm not saying you can't be upset, please, get mad--I'd be mad. But don't invoke the world's name, please, we don't care.
People who don't care about geopolitics are the ones who immediately turn to nationalist rhetoric when those geopolitics begin affecting them.
I care a lot about geopolitics. That's what I'm saying. Geopolitically, the rest of the world is unaffected except for entertainment and popcorn.
You can't draw an imaginary line between American policy and your home country. It affects everyone when more natural disasters happen or food prices rise due to global insecurity.
You can't blame climate change on just one nation. That's impossible.
I absolutely can blame them for global insecurity, the way Russia made grain prices rise by invading Ukraine.
Americans also have the most significant impact on climate change because they're the biggest polluters.
Insecurity, yeah, I agree with that. With a close tie with Russia. Though it's hard to tell the difference now.
China produces the most. However the US produces more per capita. The US doesn't produce the most per capita tho. Should we blame little ol' Palau?
Tell that to Ukrainians
Trump doesn't control the military, and there's big money to be made in war. Currently, arms manufacturers are some of the most profitable companies. Why stop that revenue? Most likely, if the US ever stops funding Ukraine, then Europe will fund Ukraine and turn more independent and away from relying on the US for defence. Why would the US want an independent Europe?
Or maybe it's just a masterplan from Putin, who somehow, has also convinced the generals to go along with this.
If anything, I'd be more concerned about Israel and the Middle East. It's hard to believe that right now, Israel is holding back. Watch this space, you know?
I live in Canada, so I'm obviously biased in the sense that we're one of the countries most affected by US politics, what with them being our largest trade partner and having a massive land border with them.
That being said, are you unaware of the global rise in right-wing extremism and fascism following the 2016 election? The US is the richest country in the world, with the largest military, and they also have a tremendous amount of soft power (at least in English-speaking countries) through their cultural influence in media exports.
I don't understand what you gain by pretending the US isn't a massive global power with huge influence over international relations.
Not only that, but they also contribute to climate change per capita way more than any other country and the climate don't care about imaginary lines painted on maps
I'm not saying they aren't powerful, just pointing out that the world isn't very much affected by elections.
Oh yeah? How's it gonna affect everyone? 2016 sure didn't
Do you believe what you're saying or do you pretend to believe?
I believe it from experience. My country was unaffected by 2016. Same with my neighbouring countries. Nothing dramatic or drastic occurred.
2020 was the same.
This will also be the same.
Most countries are unaffected by other countries' elections.
This is the proletariat view of the world.
For anyone who isn't just a common wage worker and is aware of how markets work, it is very definitely not the case.
A cog in the machine cannot perceive the machine's changing output.
Did you read Marxism in a fucking tiktok? what nonsense.
Silly prole. Why would I read about Marxism on how to play the stock market?
Go be a good cog now and create that surplus value for me to extract.
weird larp
You said the rest of the world doesn't care, the lemmy downvote count determined that to be a lie.
oh nooo, not reddit downvotes, anything but those, I'm ruined!
Never mind the fact that Lemmy is predominantly american and that instances outside of the US haven't gotten downvoted for also not caring. I'm trying to say is that Americans downvoted me, and those who are not American upvoted me. Still--Don't care
Some people need social networks and a large number of users to create the bubbles of ideology they eventually become trapped in. Some people are capable of doing that all by their lonely self.
The irony of your comment is lost on you, and your country paid the price. You'd think that'd wake you up that you were a vocal minority all along.
But no. Even when all of these hidden trump supporters, who were fully masked, finally come out en masse to explain that they voted for him because of this safe-space echo-chamber attitude you guys adopt--You double down, even on foreigners like myself, who have no stake in any of this. Perhaps your country will improve when you start uniting instead of dividing.
Moron says things that reveal he doesn't even know the country of who he's speaking about. You are a complete utter moron, a complete utter fool, and frankly, utterly disgusting. Go fuck yourself, you self admitted troll. Mods and admins who look at this comment, do yourself a favor, look at his profile and ban him. Ban me too, but I'm not going to respect shit like him.
In a way it's less upsetting reading something so short-sighted, because the chance to stop it has probably passed. We'll all find out together the massive scope of this problem.
Short-sighted? Please. Nothing major changed in the world from 2016. There was Korea, and... That's bout it. Geopolitically.
Hahaha. You need to grow up a little.
Saying that the world is diverse, huge and isn't primarily affected by US elections is immature? Explain
I agree with the sentiment. There are so many "democracy is dead" posts that make me want to scream "motherfucker, it's dead in America, not worldwide". The US is one country out of over a hundred. Many of us are just glad that you'll finally shut the fuck up about your election.
With that said, from a climate perspective it fucks everyone over. From a business perspective the economy tanking will affect markets worldwide. For Ukrainians and Palestinians, there's a huge shift towards Russia and Israel that will be problematic for decades.
It's americans, they're always so dramatic. Best just ignore em
I'd say either way it the climate fucks everyone other. Democrats didn't care for climate change except for virtue signalling, they wouldn't have done anything, they prefer the status quo instead of acting as opposition. Probably what made them lose. And there's also Musk, who makes a business from renewable energy, again though, that's just virtue signalling. Business will probably thrive, honestly, more chance to exploit the working class. Ukraine will be fine, they're supported by Europe and it's against the US's interests to let Europe be independent. Palestine is indeed fucked though, Iran too.
But I'm a goat, I don't know much except for salt.
