    Having access to information about who voted on a post would allow people to locate brigading1 efforts and detect bots spamming down/upvotes on posts. Currently, only admins can access this information, which makes it harder for users to report such behaviour to them.

    Or provide the empire controlling most of the bots, extra ammunition to have AI determine a social credit score for everyone. Winner gets a free trip to El Salvador.






  • Right way to measure governments is oligarchist corruption. All CIA approved democracies fail at this, and so not in the slightest a beneficial model. Trade shouldn’t be viewed as bad. Corruption and subjugation are bad, and trade deals should be looked at only under that framework.



  • Trump45 term benefitted signifciantly from QE based suppressed low rates that inflated financial assets, and so made rich people richer without creating inflation as wages and jobs were flat (until way down from covid mismanagement). He/sycophantic media could boast about economy without improving people’s lives.



  • Every piece of land can be useful. US’s current friendship with/lordship over NATO would get any project it wants done, and allow any shipments/trade routes to/from America. Project value is overblown due to high development costs and distance to markets.

    The reason you will hear economics and defense from enemies motives, is that is the sweetest sounding lie. It would increase the purchase price if Denmark citizens knew that Denmark government and its king are selling to US to improve its capabilities to murder all Danes.










  • Russia put troops into Crimea before the referendum, and the referendum was run by the occupying army. Do you normally trust occupying armies to run referendums about whether or not they should get to keep the land they’re occupying?

    97% in favour of Crimea joining Russia. Western polling was a solid 70%+. The new 2014 regime was legitimately divisive to the point that the majority ethnic Russian populations in Ukraine did not want to submit to them.


  • Russophobia has been the big disease, really created by US/USAID/NED/CIA. Europe seems to need a moment to let go, but if US isn’t forcing them into it, the rest of the world has already been open to Russia and China. Trump is literally forcing the world to liberate itself from US. The US is still a nice market, but China is much larger to sell into, and tariff wars are not likely to bring investments into the US.

    A multipolar world makes as much obvious sense as democracy. But it is pretty remarkable that US is pushing for it now.
