Man I just got dog piled on an argument over voting. I get it’s a hot topic in this community but having people call me a fascist and telling me to die in Barbara pit is a fucking mood killer. Is voting really deserving of such hate? Was it an argument that got too heated? Is it normal to experience this from fellow comrades over a small disagreement or is the issue really as defining of a person as it was made to seem?

That’s not really an answer to the question. Are you implying that the US military threatened Japan into crashing its own economy? I don’t think that’s how that would work.

I fear for my non binary partners life and job in the event of a trump presidency. Same with my queer friends

Isn’t 7 to 1 pretty standard dug in defense numbers?

Wait, how was the 90s crash deliberate? I know nothing about it but the basics but this sounds wild.

Thank you for the thought out reply. Very good at explaining the point. Especially compared to reddit. I’m new and still sussing out the culture here. I was worried i could possibly catch a ban for asking as well lol.

But it tastes like candy. I like candy :(

Hey, genuine question here. Why include Russia in this? They are, to my understanding, a capitalist oligarch hellscape. Where queer folk are criminalized and hunted from public life. A different imperial power currently engaged in killing folk. Why is Russia doing good a good thing at all? Just in the fact its showing a country can exist outside the NATO sphere at all? Is it in any way support of Russian policies?

Once again, none of the above is intended to be read as aggressive or trick questions. They are just what’s on my mind.

That was an incredibly thought out and eye opening viewpoint. Compared to what I’m used to on Reddit anyways. Thank you.
