Because American and other intelligence agencies was and still is using the kompromat to blackmail people.

When the genocide happened. I thought that was obvious.

They had private enterprise. So, In what way were they not capitalist? Imperial colonial economies are capitalist, by nature.

Tbf, i dont think they could name all of the African American slaves or the millions killed in the DRC.

You know the drill: Ukrainian starvation genocide = crime of communism.

When the Turkish capitalist empire does the same to Armenians, that’s just one of those things. Feels kinds commie though.

I see what you mean, in terms of democracy being a problem capitalism is trying to solve and, also, that the rich and powerful will never allow us to simply vote away their ill-gotten wealth and power.

I don’t think that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try though or just lament that we were born too late though.

If enough people wanted to, we could change things very quickly. I don’t see why that would mean we would have to have those all of those things, let alone for an extended period. Really, you’re rationalising a status quo bias.

Just like work. If a government tried to treat us like that, we would have a revolution tomorrow. Yet, we’ve all been groomed into just accepting it.

Your mad scrambling to not back down over a very silly statement is getting boring now. The fact that you genuinely think that there’s literally nothing Germany could ever do to be rid of American soldiers, if they wanted to, is just bizzare and has no basis in reality.

Why wasn’t West Germany invited until six years later?

Because of WW2. You’ve heard of that one right? Sheer desperation and very little thought going on here.

If they wanted them gone bad enough, they could starve them out. I’m not sure how you’ve convinced yourself that isn’t a possible option for them, if pushed far enough. I’m not saying they will but the idea that they couldn’t is just ridiculous.

Nato was formed in 1949 which was before the korea war and was always about preventing soviet aggression. No amount of pretending otherwise will change that. Britain and America had already occupied Germany after ww2 and that didn’t officially end until 1955. I get it, you don’t like nato but you’re not doing you side any favours here.

I agree that direct confrontation wouldn’t work. However, Germany could just refuse to allow anyone to supply food, power, petrol etc. to American bases and they’ll have to take themselves home sooner or later or declare open war on Germany.

The reason nato was created was the threat of the soviet Russian empire and continues to exist for almost the exact same reason.

Same, I’m tired of Christmas colonising autumn!

Yuo, it’s also entirely unaware of our mortality and wouldn’t care if it did.

It’s function is its purpose. We live in a human labour farm or “the world wide workhouse.”

I wonder if the existence of the American empire bothers Americans or if they’re all still in denial.

As a British person, I know gunboat diplomacy when I see it.

Yup, that’s why tate sold the worst dating advice in the world while being a sex trafficker, ensuring repeat business.

It’s all part of the American gun myth where they tell each other they could overthrow their government with their hunting rifles and the military won’t just mortar their dreams away before they even saw it coming because they feel like the military will refuse to, for reasons they can’t explain.

That way, they can justify their crazy lack of gun control and all the school children who get murdered due to it.

IMO, It’s all interlinked.

Even the soil is refusing to grow plants.

I thought they were going to enjoy a slice of cake in the sun.

We welcomed skynet when it first came

Im pretty sure I said "the point of it and not that it was 100% ready to go now.

Also, no one thinks advertising works on them. So, I’m sure you don’t believe it 👍

What if the point of AI is to have it create a personal model for each of us, using the vast amounts of our data they have access to, in order to manipulate us into buying and doing whatever the people who own it want but they can’t just come out and say that?
