And just like that, suddenly Alles Scheiße is no longer cool, go figure.

Europeans are the masters of nihilism. It’s kind of honestly surprising your birth rates aren’t lower. We have our own growing culture of nihilism to battle and we certainly don’t need it harder.

Americans are far from prudes, but there’s a place and a time for nudity. If we allowed public nudity in advertisements, half of our billboards would turn into porn. If you don’t believe me, look at any state that’s legalize marijuana: it seems literally half of all advertising is for weed. Maybe if we didn’t have hyper aggressive market forces we could relax our laws a bit.

You are missing the point. Conservatism isn’t anything that you, specifically, believe it is.

Hmmm, I bet it’s no secret who your team is!

This place is very similar to reddit. Notably, chains of “removed by moderator.”

I’m not sure how you can be on lemmy or reddit and not recognize out-grouping from the left. Groups fundamentally define themselves by what they aren’t. And each group will strawman the other to strongarm their adherents into staying within the group.

Communist. Pink haired liberals. Nazis. Fascists. Meaningless boring out-group names that are repeated ad nauseum. But go. Indulge. Join a team and have fun. But don’t sacrifice real relationships for some politician. Be smarter than that.

Are you European? Do you think nothing matters? I have been around far too many Europeans that think that way and definitely do not look towards Europe for what I want America to be. Is it the desensitization of nudity? Probably not alone. But it’s one tiny piece of the nihilistic puzzle.

Look, you have it, you enjoyed it, and now it’s no longer a big deal. In other words, you no longer enjoy it like you once did. We’d rather not go that way. Everything in moderation. We’ll save the cyberpunk dystopia for another day.

I think Americans are mostly terrified of European nihilism and don’t want to fall into the same trap.

Driving drunk is known to be dangerous. People who indulge in that behavior eventually hurt others. We don’t wait for a drunk driver to crash into someone before we arrest them. We arrest them the minute they turn on their car while drunk.

Someone who indulges in sexualizing children will eventually hurt a child and we should not need to wait for it to happen before we arrest them.

I guess we’ll see if Canada drops their tariffs or not.

We’re going to need flock cameras in every kitchen now.

I’m going to vote for the party that isn’t an open hypocrite. How can you criticize the opposition for the exact same thing your party would do?

We’ll start by reducing your disability checks.

Harris wouldn’t allow beef prices to continue to rise either, so it’s not like ranchers had an alternative.

You do have to wonder who paid to get this content in front of everyone. How did anyone even know?

Depending on the Republican, would be a good chance for a reckless invasion that gets a lot of Americans killed.

Certainly the Democrats knew Harris would lose to Trump. She wasn’t even popular amongst Democrats.

That said, the jury did not find Trump liable for rape, but he was found guilty of sexual abuse. Which would be bad enough, but Democrats like to screw themselves by exaggerating everything and looking hyperbolic for doing so.

They also say stupid things like Vance humps couches which makes the person saying it look way worse than Vance.

Both parties are charged with keeping their 330 million people maximally productive. The US isn’t the richest country in the world without reason.

The country is rich, the people aren’t.

Republicans do like Vance. But they probably like Rubio more.

A fellow connoisseur of 100% truthful political news.

Presumably, he will not be running again so not sure you’re going to have to do much to “kick his ass out.”
