I think it is a weird focus because it was irrelevant to your point, and the discussion at large. I could point out that American christians are far more likely to support trump than non-christians, but why? When we talk about the idea of the us electorate (that you chose to equate to american in your comment to the other guy. So I will say American too)

The collective in question was defined, “why do you think that about Americans?” To move the focus to white Americans is odd in that context. Imagine I would have said, “well republicans are far right”. You would have told me that we don’t talk about republicans but Americans. That I couldn’t and shouldn’t judge a collective by a subgroup. Yet that is what your focus on white Americans does in this conversation. It is not a bad observation, it is just a weird focus in this conversation.

And yes white Americans have voted trump in power, 61% of Americans identify as “white (not mixed)”. 71% of Americans identify as “white”. That is a huge part of the us electorate. If 57% (according to exit polls) of 71% of the us electorate vote for a fascist, of course, that is relevant and it should play a part in how I judge the us electorate.

But in the end of the day, all of that is more complicated than needed to answer the question, why do I believe the us electorate is far right. Trump won the popularity vote. You can break it up. But then we aren’t talking about your initial question, why do you think that about the us electorate? Instead we would talk about e.g. the white us electorate, certainly worth while exploring but not the topic at hand.

If you are unhappy with that, then don’t frame it as you do. I am answering your question precisely. Ask me a different question if you want to talk about a different topic. But don’t dismiss my answer because you don’t like it and claim that your comment didn’t focus onto white Americans and that the majority of the us electorate didn’t vote for trump while blaming white Americans (the absolute majority of the us electorate) for voting for trump.

I am sorry but the us is mostly white and fascist. That is what informs my opinion on us citizens as a collective.

Edit: you also seem very offended by the idea that I judge the us electorate based on a popular vote, saying that not everyone is that way. While happily blaming white Americans based on exit polls, ignoring that not everyone is that way. That is odd. Why can’t I judge the us electorate but you can judge the white us electorate?

Weird focus on white people if it adds nothing to your point.

Not voting is certainly not an indication that they didn’t want trump and when dealing with a far right fascist, that is interesting. But we all can have some copium, so that we don’t need to accept that a shocking amount of people are dumb as rocks and that consequently they don’t quite care about stuff like due process, and don’t mind a fascist Leader.

At some point, we need to accept that currently the general public is conservative because they know the old ways and care too little to learn the new ones but get scared of change.

The majority voted for trump, a fascist. Idk.

If you tell me you are a good person, I will require evidence. If you tell me you are a bad person, I will trust your word.

I liked harry Potter. I just can’t enjoy it because of her. Her being who she is, ruins it for me.

Why would the artist or the poster be trans? If they were trans, why would it form your opinion on “trans people” and not the individual in question?

I really like that sign off.

Piss on carpet

It is kinda funny how people understand that hyperbolic and scandalous language grabs our attention, their attention gets grabbed by hyperbolic and scandalous language and then they laughing at those who used that language. You got played. They aren’t wrong as much as you didn’t understand what they are doing. An investor is rewarded for having the correct opinion but only if everyone else is wrong. They are professional liars. So they get money because they misled the public and they get money for the attention that they generated. They cashed in twice.

Personally, I do think china will face great economical challenges in the near future though. E.g. The collapse of evergrande and the consequences on the whole sector will make some waves. Let’s hope the public won’t suffer.

Before anyone wants to jump at me for shitting on china and praising the west (I did neither), I think e.g. america is a dumpster fire economically speaking and the eu is struggling at best.

If anyone is interested to share with me their opinion on a (in my opinion, a very probable) collapse of Tesla will impact the EV market, especially the Chinese market, please do!

It is so fucking odd, how many people are claiming that e.g. the male loneliness issue is blaming women and then agree with your post.

I agree with your post. I just don’t understand how so many people here can agree that the patriarchy is harming men and is e.g. isolating men, but then turn around and act like mentioning the symptoms and talking about them, makes you misogynistic.

I don’t get it. Women have my support, I just hope I will have theirs too.

The most insane thing is how common that is.

There are 3 other types that makes me feel stuff.

1. Bio: “I am a foodie and like to travel” there is no way that someone is that boring. Fuck, I am a it nerd, I am boring but I know more interesting stuff to say about me.

2. It is often plus sized women, but people whose profile screams that they have no confidence. When with 1., I feel even worse bad. Like girls, you are so much better than you present yourself. Honestly with that mental don’t be there, heal first. We are all amazing in our way, you just need to sell yourself properly.

3. As I lived in Singapore for a while, I have something else, women from neighboring countries setting their position to SG and trying to flirt with a white person (with his language skills listed) while not really knowing English at all. I get why but girl, I can’t love you if we can’t understand each other, you don’t want me to choose you if we don’t understand each other. For context, SG average yearly salary: 55k€, Malaysian average yearly salary: 16k€, Indonesian average yearly salary: 4,5k€. In their mind, a Singaporean is rich, and a white person in sg has higher education and a well paid job in SG. The dream of a white knight…

As someone who can read code, lol.

In a democracy, it is important that the election process is understandable and verifiable by a layman. But how many people actually go to verify their elections? Barely anyone, so how and why should you trust the election??? Omg, the end is coming!!! Back in reality, enough people verify the elections and the fact that anyone can check creates the threat of detection. That makes elections generally safe.

Now with open source, a layman can’t understand it or verify it, but they don’t need to. They have to use software that seems to be heavily controlled by non laymans. Compared to closed source software, this is a huge improvement.
