Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Fuck accelerationist cunts
Listen, Americans need to fix their shit. It's affecting the rest of the world in a bad way. If Americans can't stand up to these assholes running their country then, yes, the rest of the world would prefer America fails quickly and stops being a drag on the rest of the world. Most people in the world would much rather Americans fix their shit, but it doesn't look like it's headed that way.
The onus is on you to show why that would preferable. It's super easy to just say things would be better if.
I'm curious how a collapse of the largest economy and sudden diaspora of the largest military on earth would be a non-drag on anyone else. Even if a wizard waved a wand and made the US disappear, there would definitely still be global pain.
I wonder how unconcerned the rest of the world would be with an untethered Trumpistan south, freshly empowered by their de jure abandonment of all laws and any diplomacy, armed with nukes and infrastructure operated by hand picked loyalists.
If I thought a productive discussion was possible here, I might attempt one. Instead I have only this to say:
Fuck accelerationist cunts
What a convoluted way to tell someone that you can't counter their argument.
Let me give you a different starting point: why would it be better if the collapse/downfall of the USA happened more slowly?
Well maybe the world shouldn't have relied on America for technology protection and all the other shit they do. It was short sited sited and stupid to let your companies be purchased by a foreign country.
Agreed.
Oh I'm no accelerationist I just hate America.
You should go work for trump then, you have something in common
They already are.
I'd love to, but I'm afraid y'all are doing such a good job that there's nothing for an amateur like me to do.
