      Not only you but the rest of the population as well. And really, if we all cooperated together on this, these issues could be solved easily in a few years, if not months.

        If we really cooperated and agreed on the goals (that’s the hard one) we could fucking rebuild our society into a just and benevolent one practically overnight. I don’t want to go through eugenics wars to get there or whatever other horror science fiction says we need in order to do what we can intellectually conceptualize. The short version of that is “it works cause everyone who didn’t get it is dead!” and that’s one hell of a failure

          I work with the city housing advocacy board as a navigator who helps get people housing vouchers. Though I was mostly leaning into the doom posting, not really asking a question.

          “3 homeless shelters”

          that could be a tent you put up every summer at camp. We now need a more definitive definition of “homeless shelter” and “genocide”.

              Why are you bothered by my post, and why don’t you use the word “poseur” instead? “Poser” is a poser term

              You shouldn’t let responses bother you, it’s kinda sad

      Don’t be late on your mortgage, tuition for any children, and taxes.

      And if you keep your phone longer than 6 months you’re a loser.

      Is there anything the rest of the world can do to help you with your orange fascist problem?

      Because it seems to be in the way of solving a lot of the other issues.

        I have a list, ranging from targeted economic sanctions to explicit military actions though discussing the latter probably doesn’t just put me on a list, it probably puts me in a hole.

        Targeted economic sanctions, specifically on US [-based multinational] corporations, specifically on Krasnov donors and investment vehicles Krasnov is known to have invested in: this is probably the strongest tool in y’alls arsenal without declaring war. Example: There was an oil embargo placed on Japan in/prior to ww2 and there’s good evidence to support that without said embargo, Japan would not have attacked Pearl Harbor. Basically, if you can’t target specific industries, cut the united states off from the world the way the world has cut off Cuba.

        Edit: [added a couple woids for clarity]

        But Trump isn’t in Sudan, Gaza, Ukraine, or China; he’s not the cause of any of this.

        he’s not a God, he’s just an old moron. when he dies, none of those issues will be solved or even improve in any way

      A genocide anywhere is a huge problem. The US is playing a major role in the genocide in Palestine, so yes it makes sense that Americans are more concerned about that one than the one in Sudan.

        Its because, much like the real police, they aren’t doing beneficial constructive things. If, they for example stepped in to stop what russia is doing to Ukraine most people would be happy, if they stepped in to stop what israel is doing, most people would be happy, if they stepped in to stop what is happening in Sudan most people would be happy instead they bombed children in Tehran.

          Even if most real people would be happy, you can bet Israel, Russia, and the RSF + allies would astroturf the hell out of a “How dare America, evil world police, expansionist imperialism” campaign. And, just like how much of America is stupid, many people globally will believe it. It has happened before.
