That sounds nice, let’s do that.

The thing is that Germany was a land empire; to expand they had to piss off and/or invade their powerful neighbors. America can do whatever the heck it wants and as long as they don’t do something dumb like attack China they’ll be left mostly to their own devices. Hell, I’d bet good money that the EU won’t lift a finger if they annex Greenland. We’re looking at more of a Franco or Sukharto situation.

Ah, yes, everyone knows reading comprehension is actually Russian propaganda.

We don’t fucking CARE! GOOD! Prosecute the criminals! It doesn’t matter what side they’re on politically!

You don’t care, but the people in power do. That’s the point I was making.

Yes, both sides are in fact bad but that’s not really the point I’m making here. Please work on your reading comprehension.

That’s not my point. If Democrats seriously attack Trump on this, he’ll hit back by attacking them for supporting Obama, and establishment Democrats won’t throw their man under the bus. Ergo, nothing will happen. Screw Obama, but that’s not the argument I’m making here.

Edit: Aaand there it is.

That’s not how the US establishment rolls. Both sides will protect their man and that will be it.

Even before the USA was kaput, double tapping became typical US strategy under the Obama administration, which makes me even more confident that nobody will face any consequences for this. To try Trump they’d have to try Obama.

It sounds nice, but I think this is a wash.

That is really not how that works. Reformers are nice, but it’s usually more militant leftists who actually get things done through direct action.

No no, the dichotomy is between liberals and conservatives here. The system has done such a good job hiding leftwing politics from people that save for a few aberrations (i.e. Mamdani) they’re just not something people think about.

If I were running away from a psycho, I’d still have to somehow make ends meet while also dealing with hostile people.

Yeah, but you’d be a lot less likely to believe the psycho has your best interests in mind. Now to be clear we’re dealing with trends here; plenty of women do in fact believe the psycho has their best interests in mind, and plenty of men don’t like the psycho even if they’re not the primary target, but the threat of being killed or locked up in a basement means you have to be more desperate (or more gullible) to believe the psycho’s words if you’re a woman. Also, for people who aren’t literally in danger of becoming homeless pride would be expected to have more effect, which will disproportionately affect men.

How is any of that exclusive to men?

Not the other person, but my guess is that women have a lot more to immediately fear from the right and/or “gain” from liberals so it makes sense for them to stick with the center. Meanwhile men tend to place more value on their ability to (and be expected to) provide for themselves and their current or future families, so they care more about costs of living. Basically women are too busy running away from the psycho trying to kill them, while men have enough room to stop and say “doesn’t my life kinda suck.”

Okay, it’s very important to note that liberal =/= leftists. Liberals are centrists, and as you noted their program other than minority rights is basically all smokes and mirrors. However, look at Mamdani, AOC or Bernie and tell me there’s nothing in their programs that would benefit you. Liberal politicians want to distract from their own ineptitude, and batshit people will always exist, but there is an alternative other than rightwing scams.

the past 30 years due to these changes women have greatly outpaced men in educational attainment because they are better suited mentally to being test takers. all the curious, impulsiveness and physical of boys is actively oppressed and dismissed, and frankly, tons of boys are not drugged into submission from as early as 6.

Do you have sources for this?

America’s actions are relatively fresh,

At the risk of being annoying as shit, that is not true. The only fresh part is that Europeans and/or white people are feeling a small part of the heat too.

He’s certainly not helping, but prime cause? No way. The prime cause is that the system is fundamentally broken. The last round of fascists didn’t need Putin’s help, and it’s odd to think this batch is somehow different.

Why is Scandinavia’s ball sack demilitarized?

People want answers, not necessarily simple ones (any answer can be sufficiently simplified), but answers. I mean, it’s not like “the rich are robbing you blind” is much more complicated than “immigrants and the gays are ruining this country;” it’s a question of which message is being amplified and being turned into real action.

The death of the American dream is a big one. Speaking very generally, men want a better future for themselves and are willing to follow whoever promises it, while women are being specifically targeted by conservatives an don’t want anything to do with that shit. The weakness of the American left means that the average person only sees establishment centrism and far-right fascism as options. Also people simply don’t know or think that much about the things you mentioned.
