Phi for All

Because you also said this in the same post:

Really, you'd change your mind about invading if we already had a base there? This would be a disaster. I already cringe at what they're putting in orbit. Having military mistakes spread across our entire atmosphere could make most environments toxic.

Maybe I was distracted by all the whataboutism regarding how we can't blame Russia if we're doing the same to Greenland. Maybe it was just stating that this all is "a recipe for war" without actually condemning such a war. But it was probably the flat statement that "We get Greenland" that made me think Trurl supports TFG, that and all his past posts defending the behavior.

Please name one "good" thing he's trying to do. Something he's really trying to do, not just giving lip service to. Trying to reduce corruption in government spending isn't his real goal. He's looking top down when the real corruption is right at the top. He says he's trying to reduce crime when it's at an all time low, just like his last administration. He's trying to drain the swamp when he's the biggest alligator there.

How do you feel about your president invading a sovereign nation, not because they pose a threat, but because he claims we "need it"? This is even controversial amongst his base, since Greenland has never been an aggressor against the US. "We get Greenland"?! Personally, I think anyone who approves of this is a horrible person, the kind of intolerant citizen we absolutely can't tolerate if we're to progress at all in removing war as a solution for humankind. You and those who think like you are setting up the US to be a pariah to the rest of the world. If it happens as you predict, we'll lose every ally we have as they all prepare to defend themselves and their democracies from the authoritarians in Russia, North Korea, China, and the USA. Are you a FB fan? I'm curious because I think Zuckerberg allowed so many Russian bots to influence Americans into thinking Russia is more dangerous and powerful than they really are. Without FB, Russia is just some nukes that they can't use without destroying themselves as well. Texas has a bigger GDP by a large margin. You talk about Russia like you've listened to all the Russian bot propaganda.

I find your definitions ridiculous. By this token, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter were two sides of the same coin. Your distinctions are worthless in a political discussion.

Definitely deny the first. Biden and TFG are not remotely similar, much less two sides of one coin. That much is obvious. The middle class isn't "disappearing". It's shrinking due to pressures on small businesses from large corporations using lobbyists to unfairly frame the market. Also, I think "liberal" is an outdated and inaccurate label. At least in the US, progressive is the better description of those who oppose the conservatives. Both major parties have claimed many stances but conservatives, whether Democrat or Republican, have never accomplished anything significant in this country. Becoming an independent colony, abolishing slavery, the interstate highway system, Social Security, the Moon landings, the National Parks system, the Postal Service, even the mix of ethnicities that made us the great "melting pot", all of these things are due to progressive views and behavior. Conservatives are stuck in the mud wishing things won't change, which is why the corporations love them.

Your paper only works if the reader is already a believer. You make assumptions most people aren't willing to make. I, for one, think your Jesus is a horrible person, willing to destroy a fig tree just because it couldn't feed him. You need to argue for a god's existence in the first place, and even then your assertions are mostly ridiculous. I don't think you're "lying", but I think you've been deceived like so many. Look what it made you do! Your document is full of atrocious science, completely misunderstood, and you made up the weirdest things to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. You need to fight ignorance with knowledge, not make up more ignorance.

If it preaches that you should believe that an unobservable "creator" is the most powerful thing in the universe, I think it's bad. Really bad. It sets your brain up for manipulation, coercion, and guilt, and it makes people choose doctrine over people.

The OP's sockpuppet account claimed that if you have to ask, you're a "mental infant". Tells me all I need to know about the thread.

This is ostrich behavior.

I definitely don't agree that imported fuels makes us "vulnerable to unstable world politics". Right now, the US is the most unstable political partner in the world. In 2023, we imported AND exported record amounts of fuel. It looks like you make the mistake of looking at crude coming in from foreign sources as imported, when more often it's just here to be refined and sold off again. Trading on the world stage is one of the things that's actually helped the US in the past. Whether oil or other products, dealing with other countries strengthens us, and makes us more resistant to wars and conflicts with these countries. The US should be as diligent when it comes to making products for ourselves. The only things we manufacture for Americans any more is disease and insecurity.

Is it a good thing you spend so much time in a place you obviously detest? It certainly hasn't made you any better at discussion.

This may be true, but if animals could think this way, don't you think they'd be even more focused on themselves? Humans may be egocentric, but we also have the imaginative capacity to put ourselves in another creature's place.

You're getting really good at this type of meaningless objection coupled with a vague conjecture. Chemical and electrical activity in the brain is enormously complex, and we have a much better understanding of it than "it's behavior goes beyond that" to suggest "something more complex".

Truly his Eureka moment, when he wanted to reverse his powers, but the people spake unto him, "Bissell-mil-ah NO! We will not let you blow!"

What about the fact that the departments that are being harassed first are the very ones investigating Musk's businesses? I believe CharonY posted a great graphic showing the ties. Can you address that?

Or just fucking say no to Nazis. I'll go with that.

So, nothing can condense? Sounds very contradictory.

And possible espionage? A background check from a real government bureau would have found the connection between Edward Coristine of DOGE and the KGB: https://www.newsminimalist.com/articles/doge-staffer-linked-to-kgb-spy-raises-security-concerns-in-us-state-department-fa2a8d56 The young man's history is not reassuring at all: https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/politics/doge-musk-edward-coristine-invs/index.html

I thought you're a math guy. If he always represents himself as an idiot, maybe he's an idiot. A very aggressive, very rich, very dangerous idiot.

There are more than these two possibilities. Is it too much to ask that our leaders not be Nazis? Seriously, is that too much to ask?
