When the rest of the world hates you for shit a minority of your country did, but succumb to generalized thinking and blame all Americans (looking at you, Europe), a guilt complex can be internalized.

Of course he would disapprove. And, hopefully, learn something about human psychology, its relationship with power, and why single-party governments are a super bad idea.

Username tracks.

There is so much wrong with what you wrote but I don’t have the time or energy to point it all out. Suffice it to say, you are clearly biased and not very bright. And might be trolling. Goodnight.

In order to truly understand this, you have to tear yourself away from the Republicans and start looking at conservative ideology itself.

At the core of conservative ideology is the very American idea of “pulling oneself up by their own bootstraps.” This is essentially the idea that, no matter the circumstances of one’s birth, one can achieve anything. Historically, this was a rebellion against the classism of old Europe, which was structured around a class system. So, in that context, it was a very liberal idea. The problem comes in when you start to recognize that people are not actual born on a level playing field, financially, culturally, educationally, etc. Today, the idea that everyone can “pull themselves up by their own bootstraps,” foments the lie that we are all born into equal opportunities in life, which is demonstrably false.

So, the core of conservative ideology is based on an untruth, and it has never reconciled this. Conservatives thus blame disparities in achievement in society on lack of individual effort, and don’t take into account differences in opportunity by birth circumstances. As such, when they see people who haven’t done as well as others, they attribute that to personal failings rather than circumstantial inequalities. When you see all outcomes as a result of personal effort, you can dismiss bad outcomes as the result of a lack of effort, and thereby justify denying the less fortunate help under the notion that it is unfair to the more prosperous because it rewards those who didn’t try as hard with the same outcomes who had to work for them.

Conservative ideology is simply outdated and uninformed by modern sociological research.

I’ve noticed a drop in accuracy as well. I’ve actually started using the finger-drag method to type since it seems to be more accurate.

Stupid-ass copium, like all religion.

TROGDOOOOOOR!!!

Remind yourself that that belief is based on your very limited experience of history. Things get worse and better over the course of time. Your only true grief may be that you may not live to see the tide change. But that’s very different from thinking all is doomed.

Adults are just large five-year-olds.

In the comics, Thanos is in love with Lady Death (sometimes called Mistress Death) who is a personification of death. Thing is, she doesn’t return his affections. So, he kills half the universe as a way to try to win said affections. I think the writers for the MCU probably felt that was a little too hokey to fly with modern/mainstream audiences.

The short answer is that they had to come up with something more palatable to a movie audience than “I’m evil and have a crush on the literal Lady of Death.”

Post-coitus and post-meal cigarettes are very common and in pretty sure those aren’t being smoked to cope with anxiety.

Wow. TIL. Thanks for the info.

How are they unsanitary?

No, definitely more stupid than this. This is only slightly stupid.

It’s much more likely that it would either fly away at another trajectory or circle back several times before eventually hitting us. In order for it to become another Earth satellite, it would have to miss us at a very precise angle and speed in order to get trapped in a stable orbit around us.

What surprised me most about it was how much it takes from detective noir books from decades prior. It reads a lot like a Raymond Chandler novel.

Looks like you’re the one who got it. 😉
