Self proclaimed libertarians always fall apart when the freedom is used against them.

Reminds me of Christians and free will.


Democrats embrace diversity. And diversity is fundamentally against authority.

The US has made itself reliant on a global market economy that they also constantly disrupt with idiotic mistakes.

But for some reason for Americans peace is never the preferred option.


It's culture. In the Netherlands a trauma heli will come for a homeless person or even a drunk British tourist.

America can afford healthcare it simply chooses not to.

It’s a disgrace. Anything else you say is a weak excuse.

Ultra religious expansion.

Sadly there's no Babylon this time.


The Chinese government has been all in on electrifying everything that they possibly can.

China can make electricity. Gasoline is at the whims of a US president.


AI is coded by people.

We have not reached the state in which AI creates AI.


A few very smart, highest paid people in the world yes. The rest... Well... I did not use All quantifiers in the original post.
