Questions: Society & Politics

Well, it's finally happened. American troops are swarming into Iceland to strip it of its natural resources. But what will they plunder first?

After the murder of Ms. Good last week by ICE, there has been a lot of talk as to what we do as American citizens. What do you think?

Should Minnesota and all the other states bring back the death penalty to punish tyrants?

The photos show a thrift shop in a Welsh town that's seen better days. As you can see the owner is hedging his bets by selling all British flags. There's even some nice intertwined Union Jacks and Irish bunting , which I'm sure sell well.

In the news recently, there have been stories of very wealthy Americans refugees moving en masse to the UK seeking safety from the current situation.

Now it's got me thinking. Americans love to fly the flag on their homes. But is it OK to do that when living in another country? Or does it risk drawing negative attention?

I don't have much hope for the future anymore, it feels all very bleak. I don't know if there's really a point in working hard, studying or even expecting to have a half decent future, because ai will replace almost all of us unless the tech ceos and the government wants to step in, which they won't with how they are. there's a big chance we'll all be dirt poor living horrible lives, in technofeudalist ultra conservative dictatorships, in the not all that distant future, if WW3 doesn't kill us first. the risk feels more imminent than ever. then there's climate change, and if we're dirt poor and abandonned by our governments, we're even more fucked. life will be horrible for men who aren't ultra rich already, but for women it will be even worse since i'm like 75% sure with the heritage foundation in power with their projects, and the massive brainwashing of gen z & alpha boys/men, women will be stripped of their rights completely and all the western world will follow. so i don't know if there's a point in sticking around, if on top of everything i'm going to end up as some slave to some guy who hates me.

i've always known govs were corrupted and there's lots of hidden evil in this world, but now it's so naked and blatant. everyone is becoming crazy, and we're all getting so extreme politically. i also feel like i feel this world is being operated increasingly by evil rich people who hate us and want to do everything that makes them more powerful and rich at our expense, and there's nothing we can do.

I think we're all living in the very end of an era; of peace in the west, freedom, high living standards, abundance, and human rights. I think soon, we'll be living in a horrible dystopian world none of us ever thought we'd know.

i sometimes wonder if living is worth it, if we'll all be miserable soon without escape
