lol you’re right but it doesn’t flow as nicely.

Ima big Lincoln fan, greatest leader of all time IMO

I don’t think you understood a single word of what I said.

A minister of AI makes sense, you can’t just ignore it.

A stable economic environment allows for us to make investments today that pay off in the future, but in a war like environment you need to mobilize the infrastructure you have and build support around it. Whether we like it or not we have a number of valuable resources in the ground and we need to start moving those resources elsewhere so we can invest in a renewable future.

There’s a lot of stuff I disagree with Carney on, but what I appreciate about him is that he is a pragmatist. He understands that at times you have to put your personal values aside and take the action that makes the most sense.

Winston Churchill was a racist, but he had the balls to take on Germany and not bend. Lincoln hindered post war reconstruction and his authoritarian overreach was unprecedented but he was the only person willing to tear a nation apart to rebuild it.

Leaders need to be able to put themselves aside to make decisions that produce the most utility for those they lead. This means occasionally getting pie on your face or going against your own heart. A snake acts dishonestly with malice, that’s not what’s going on here. Our current circumstances demand pragmatism we can’t crucify the only person in the room willing to act like one in the face of that.

That’s Iran’s nuke. If they lose that they lose their sovereignty. I hate that I am forced to defend an Iranian regime that I hate… dumb ass war

Ya man this is a bad faith discussion. I can understand why you got banned.

whataboutism is just marginally better than personal insults and arguablY more counter productive.

I thought this was a stupid idea, so I punched myself in the tummy with a sucker.

can confirm that it hurts like a motherfucker

lol this made my day

Reddit is just too botted out to be a reasonable place for a conversation anymore.

There’s two back and forths before someone gets angry and everyone has a personal anecdote that contradicts any point anyone makes.

I think Bernie was an idealist and I don’t buy in to a lot of his ideas while appreciating his work to create real change. Don’t crucify me for this.

I wholeheartedly believe there is an alternate timeline where Bernie won the 2016 democratic nomination and won the presidency and we avoided all this shit.
