Just like in Hungary this week?

No idea what you’re trying to say.

You should probably read what OP wrote and what I responded to.

Military control to prevent an opponent from taking power is almost literally the definition of authoritarian.

Like I said:

Politically, they Impeached trump and only craven Republicans saved him.

You know what could have given trump problems? More Dems in the Senate either time he was Impeached!

You would probably refer to me as an authoritarian yeah

You are correct

And the answer to rising fascism is not trying to replace a popular authoritarian with an unpopular one.

Unfortunately, everyone can call anyone a fascist. That’s the entire problem.

Any system wherein one group can just dismantle another because of their politics will be abused. If whatever magical law/mechanism your nonsense required existed and had been used after the 2020 election, trump’s successor would simply have done the same thing to the Democrats next time but we’d be even worse off as there would be no constraints on their power and no viable opposition, unlike the Dems who now stand a Puncher’s chance in the goddamn Senate.

Being the good guy is difficult but the road you propose inexorably leads to authoritarianism.

I get that politics is slow and boring but this isn’t a video game.

Trump and crew literally attempted to overturn the election and the Dems did next to nothing

Are you forgetting how almost everyone who stormed the Capitol was arrested?

Politically, they Impeached trump and only craven Republicans saved him.

The rest is supposed to be on the voters, more than half of whom decided they were okay with what had happened. As is their unfortunate democratic right, that’s literally how it works.

they did nothing to prevent fascism. The fascist did not face serious detrimental consequences of any kind.

That is the trumpiest and scariest line of thinking possible. Elections are not meant to punish the losing side.

The very fact the Dems won in an election is a demonstration that they weren’t battling fascists yet.

This is crazy dumb.

It’s almost like you have to win the election…

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a streamer before and would happily change that to watch this.

Lots of countries want to pivot closer to the EU as a hedge against a mercurial America or authoritarian China…

I’m definitely a fan of closer ties though I’d be a little wary about fully joining an organization where decisions can be held up by a recalcitrant Orban or Le Pen.

when it’s laced with multiple poisons designed to slowly murder everyone

Well that took an abrupt turn.

There was another account like this with a similar name. Did you/it get banned?

Something feels very off here.

Not what you’re asking for but there’s a great nonfiction book called the Knowledge which is about how to rebuild after a collapse. (Mostly from a technical perspective etc but still, really interesting stuff!)

Well, at least I can stop buying condoms soon!

That actually seems an improvement.

I was reading about food through the ages and back in the day, there were recipe steps like “rotate until two boys are wearied.”

His claim is that he’s a professed Christian who is so religiously unaware that he thought that was a doctor? Really?

That was a more hopeful and literate version of the future than the one we’re one. Were Ender’s Game rewritten now, Peter and Violet would be influencers…

I didn’t reply to any comment, I commented on the post, which is in Political Memes.

Yes, it’s a star wars joke in political memes.

And while everyone else is joking around, having a good time you decided that a worthwhile contribution would be to announce that you don’t like Star Wars because you aren’t a child?

Maybe you really don’t get social cues. Or you’ve decided to be unpleasant for no reason. I dunno, it seems like you came in, wanted to pick a fight and then whine when people point it out. It’s weird way to decide to be and more than a little sad, especially for a grown ass adult.

It’s not the opinion that’s edgy, it’s the context. Imagine you’re at a casual gathering and someone made this joke and everyone started joking about star wars.

Does it help the conversation or anyone’s enjoyment to jump in with a “oh, I didn’t like those at all. They’re pretty dumb.” ?
