America has always rejected fanaticism, especially since WWII. We are supposed to be E pluribus unum -- out of many, ONE. Now, the right wants America to be E unum pluribus -- out of ONE, many.

Telling me I'd like to watch it all burn, and then calling me a political pacifist in the next breath? Come on, now, you can do better.

The debt isn't an abstract thing that can be unilaterally printed away. It has real-world consequences, real-world resources that can't be ignored, and that the US isn't even in a position to come out on top of once it comes calling.

I'm glad you're fighting that political fight. It keeps you occupied, and keeps them occupied. Like a pair of dysfunctional lovers, you deserve each other. I'm watching, and I'm learning. I know how to take advantage of the mistakes you make, and ones they make, and use them to my own personal advantage, as well as to the advantage of other moderate folks that I'm perfectly willing to give business preference to, and reach out for, and go the extra mile for.

..just.. ..keep fighting, bud. It'll end soon enough. ..and certainly, you will win. Perhaps not like you think, though.

Wow, I don't think I've seen an edgier comment on the whole of lemmy.

You sound like you've got a lot to lose.

Telling me I'd like to watch it all burn, and then calling me a political pacifist in the next breath?

Yeah. You're actively expressing both of those views at the same time by thinking yourself higher than the society you live in.

Anyway, the debt isn't a tangible thing like you seem to think. And you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, and I won't take on the responsibility of teaching you how to use a search engine, so I guess this is where the edgy comment chain ends.

Have fun in your cabin in the woods, brother. The rest of us understand what it means to live in a functional society. It's not worth engaging any further with someone as far gone as you are ✌️
