Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Matt Gurney: 'We will never fucking trust you again' (www.readtheline.ca)

Interesting report from the world of diplomacy and military alliance.

The headline quotation is a direct quotation of a non-American senior official to the Americans at the meeting.

80 years of effort to build up a world of shared values burned in under a year. 80 years of soft power tossed in the compost pile and recycled into fertilizer. 80 years of blood, sweat, and tears as Americans laboured to make the world safe for America.

All gone in the tantrums of a decrepit toddler.

Indeed, USA: We genuinely will never fucking trust you again.

Except gold and silver.

You can make a fucking morning Star with them and start acquiring real assets with it using force and violence.

You can't make a weapon with a bunch of paper money.

Lol you had me in the first half, amazing goldbug bait.

I have to say I find your theory of violence-backed currency quite compelling.

I am just rediscovering what our ancestors knew millennia ago

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, you go ahead and believe that gold and silver are "real currency".

But by your standard? Iron is a fuck load more valuable as a currency.

See how your idiocy is getting exposed? Wanna quit now while you're ahead or do you want to go full metal idiot?

You are right, I should add metal lumps to my iron mace instead but it wouldn't be as shiny.

But it's a good idea! Whatever bludgeoning weapon works
