Joined Aug. 22nd, 2024. First post was expressing desire to be a moderator in a communism sub. Expresses support for nations like China specifically when in relation to Taiwan. Supports other odd situations and events. Has a name "JohnBrown". If it wasn't for the fact that you're so unlikeable, I'd make an argument that you're a plant to try and twist narratives and convince communities of certain ideologies.

No, we aren't. We're hoping. Which, much as you might dislike it, is a huge reason why we fight.
Yup! We can return the favor by supporting Republicans who follow reason and act in good faith. We all recognize that in some places getting anyone left leaning elected is practically impossible. So what we can do is back a good red ticket instead. Just one of many courses we could take in the near future. If you squint, this also has the potential to lead into a three party system later on.
That said, accountability should be part of the game they're playing.
Playing Dreamcast games. No politics, just him talking about his experiences with the console and shooting the shit with chat. HEAVY MODERATION though. Cause damn.
I've had it for AGES. I agree that ads have been a bit much and many websites almost unusable without Origin. YT Premium though has been fairly solid with a couple hiccups.
Admittedly, I use YouTube as my primary source of entertainment. So the price is easily justified vs other services.
It works both ways and they know that. They're aware that those of us that do care also know we need to beat Trump. Our consequences are greater than theirs. The push for Harris-Walz is in acknowledgement of this and an opportunity for us to have a voice.
Trump enters THE seat of power and your words won't only fall on deaf ears, there may be provisions created to silence you as well. You obviously don't like it, this is how it is. We have to do it one step at a time. That is the current limit of our voice, and the step is pointing towards stopping Trump and dissolving the modern Republican Party.
Right now it's either help support the people who may listen, or let in those that have literally said they will make it worse. Stubborn as you are I'm sure you can weigh the odds on this one.
Pfffffft. Bruh.
Come on now. These aren't even loosely related.
We really need you to pull your head out of your ass. The extremely simple reality follows, and I am speaking for every reasonable person:
The situation in Gaza is not supported by us. It's evil. It should not be happening. We condemn it. However, we also recognize that around our elections some war or conflict occurs. Moreover, possibly more than any other time in modern history, we are educated.
It is precisely the idea of malicious and evil persons intent on causing as much harm as possible why we must turn inward and focus on stopping more damage from occurring. Harris, Walz, Biden, they are not the same. We need you to back up and look at the larger picture. In fact, traditionally Republicans have used wars and conflict to distract the Left leaning voting bases. They know their supporters will, quite literally if you let them, go in guns blazing in support of war, all of them yelling some false patriotic zing of a bad battle cry. Meanwhile, the rest of us condemn it in various ways and that breaks us apart.
Look, I understand your frustration. To you it must appear as if we are okay with people dying. We're not. We just accept that if Trump, and more importantly the people who coerce their way into certain positions, are allowed to take the Presidency that it will get worse. Much worse. We aren't willing to let that happen due to ethical or moral quandaries. As gross as it is to have to turn inward and focus here when people are being killed. We have a job to do.
Fail that and we may as well apologize to the entire world.
Go deeper.
We shouldn't have these things because the usage is abused by every aspect of modern society. Look into the history of electrical and hydrogen engines. You'll see what I mean.
You're expecting things to never change, or if they do it'll be for the worst. I can't blame you for that. Thing is, there has already been change for the better. This is why we are still here and still fighting. Why we still have hope. If all those just like you joined us, imagine what we could do. All you'd have to do is expend some effort - the very same energy being used to express hate, dislike, and skepticism.
I am sorry you feel this way. It must really not feel great.
