What I recall from my studies is that ODD is generally considered a children’s behavior disorder that can mature into Antisocial Personality Disorder. So you definitely aren’t wrong, a party that has policies against social benefit is a party geared towards antisocials.
a lot of people are simply contrarians who make responses (or even vote) out of spite, not logic.
the thing about nazis is they are nazis because they can’t get along with others and then they blame everyone else who doesn’t look like them for their lack of social skills. One of the most remarkable things about bannon, musk or stephen miller is how miserable they remain even when they feel they are winning.
The non-violent alternative is for the left is to do an economic coup by halting consumption.
True, and this is a very sad statistic. It would be great is we would actually work on mental health in this country.
It’s 99% the guns though. The US has shitty mental health safety net, but not worse than in Eastern Europe, the murder rates (which is driven by gun violence) are much lower there. If you exclude firearm deaths it drops to similar rates to that of Europe. I personally think that increasing fines and punishment for bad gun ownership is the way to go.
They lay the blame, and lay the groundwork, to wreck shit next time while shifting blame from themselves.
Yup. The funniest thing is how important the national debt becomes with a democrat at the helm, but how irrelevant it is with a republican presidency.
All of that, combined with the “perfect” storm of tRUmp, really sped it up.
Agree, trump is a symptom not necessarily the direct cause.these all happened because of citizens united and the influx of infinite money into politics that was bound to tip the balance away from actual citizens towards corporations.
On civil war, if we were in the slow boil phase I’d agree with you, but the ghouls like stephen miller coming out the woodwork combined with a lot of people suddenly having a lot of free time (I mean fired), things are much more likely to turn heated.
they didn’t overthrow biden’s “tyranny” either. Instead of the overthrowing tyranny bullshit, guns have a great track record of killing kids and helping depressed men end it all.
Yup. Sociopaths are invisible on the lie detector. Plus these days, it isn’t that hard to build a biofeedback practice device so people control the metrics monitored by the polygraph.
True, but the rate is indeed alarming.
We’ve had 3 plane crashes taking 5 or more lives in 1 month of trump, whereas that rate was 7 in the whole of 2024 which was a particularly deadly year. Or we had 15 plane crashes with 7 or more deaths in these 6 years and 20% of those happened in this very month.
But need not to worry, we’ll know when the pattern becomes obvious because that’s when FAA’s accident reporting system will go offline. https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/query-builder
y on online outreach and have to be proactive IRL spreading messages that it really is a class war. There’s no better time than now, no more apparent point in history than today, it’s just pulling those people away from the propaganda for them to realize it. Somehow, We The People, need to convince the Boiling Frogs.
If you look at the stats on what proportion of US population can read beyond 6th grade level you can predict that there’s nearly zero chance pulling these people out of their bubbles.

I think this energy density math really depends on whether only the core or the whole surface area is taken into consideration.
’s the ghost of Lenin with a steel chair! Or maybe we’ll get something entirely new? It’s frankly impossible to guess while we’re living in it. I think cold balkanization is both the most likely and most optimistic scenario. IN THE MEANWHILE, yeah, you’re still going to see all the window trimmings of the USA; the maps will still say USA, we’ll at least nominally still have the things that make America America (like the constitution still sitting in its fancy protective case, as though the GOP didn’t just wipe Trump’s ass with it), it’ll all look weirdly normal while they make the republic’s corpse do a funny little jig.
to date, that 400,000,000 pew-pew stick and freedom rod are proving super effective against tyranny. Civil was is becoming more and more likely though.
A headline without calling it an “Artificial Sun”?!
But he’s a liar with money!
Yup, that means that the part of the lie that benefits him WILL come true, and the part that never come true will have no impact on him or on his reputation.
the more specialized the workforce, the harder it is to overcome staffing limitations. for example, in Italy, there’s a huge physician shortage (at least when I lived in Europe there was). You won’t fix that with simply changing the management culture.
So many assumptions…
Headline reads: “i turned off ALL notifications forever”.
My take: there exist people who can’t do that.
Your take: US bad.
My take: not a US-specific issue.
Your take: please describe your call schedule in detail because your claim is unusual.
Thank you, but no thank you.
I use an IP phone for calls that you can switch off. The paging system is a whole 'nother story.
it’s neither a US- nor a profession-specific issue. it’s an issue of any high-stakes, relatively niche occupation.
That idea of yours would be perfectly fine if it was just you, but it isn’t: it’s you and all other people who think like you
Definitely not an “idea of mine”. That’s the US experience (I’m a doctor here). The US’s most common electronic medical record system developed a secure messenger app that replaced pagers so yeah for outpatient work most of the time-critical messaging goes through your cell. So no, I can’t be on DND 24/7. (I do have very aggressively tweaked work/personal/etc notification settings, but sometimes the urgent messages do need to come through after hours)
he’ll just run the poll on X and his narcissistic injury is healed.
