Read Project 2025. And then look at the rest of the leaders that followed Fuckface 45 and his bullshit behavior. This is going to snowball to hell and back.

oh stop being the melodramatic american. the world is a huge place and is hardly affected by what happens in your local area. My country didn’t change from 2016, nor did most other countries. It is not a world-wide problem

I don’t care about Project 2025, it’s not my country. It doesn’t affect me in any meaningful way.
You need to remember the rest of the world isn’t as stupid as the US. All the other country’s trump wannabes got humiliated and defeated.

People who don’t care about geopolitics are the ones who immediately turn to nationalist rhetoric those geopolitics begin affecting them.
goat@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
I care a lot about geopolitics. That’s what I’m saying. Geopolitically, the rest of the world is unaffected except for entertainment and popcorn.

You can’t draw an imaginary line between American policy and your home country. It affects everyone when more natural disasters happen or food prices rise due to global insecurity.

You can’t blame climate change on just one nation. That’s impossible.

Trump doesn’t control the military, and there’s big money to be made in war. Currently, arms manufacturers are some of the most profitable companies. Why stop that revenue? Most likely, if the US ever stops funding Ukraine, then Europe will fund Ukraine and turn more independent. Why would the US want an independent Europe?
Or maybe it’s just a masterplan from Putin, who somehow, has also convinced the generals to go along with this.
If anything, I’d be more concerned about Israel and the Middle East. It’s hard to believe that right now, Israel is holding back. Watch this space, you know?

I live in Canada, so I’m obviously biased in the sense that we’re one of the countries most affected by US politics, what with them being our largest trade partner and having a massive land border with them.
That being said, are you unaware of the global rise in right-wing extremism and fascism following the 2016 election? The US is the richest country in the world, with the largest military, and they also have a tremendous amount of soft power (at least in English-speaking countries) through their cultural influence in media exports.
I don’t understand what you gain by pretending the US isn’t a massive global power with huge influence over international relations.

Not only that, but they also contribute to climate change per capita way more than any other country and the climate don’t care about imaginary lines painted on maps

I’m not saying they aren’t powerful, just pointing out that the world isn’t very much affected by elections.

Oh yeah? How’s it gonna affect everyone? 2016 sure didn’t

Do you believe what you’re saying or do you pretend to believe?
goat@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
I believe it from experience. My country was unaffected by 2016. Same with my neighbouring countries. Nothing dramatic or drastic occurred.
2020 was the same.
This will also be the same.
Most countries are unaffected by other country’s elections.

This is the proletariat view of the world.
For anyone who isn’t just a common wage worker and is aware of how markets work, it is very definitely not the case.
A cog in the machine cannot perceive the machine’s changing output.

You said the rest of the world doesn’t care, the lemmy downvote count determined that to be a lie.
goat@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
oh nooo, not reddit downvotes, anything but those! I’m ruined!
Never mind the fact that Lemmy is predominantly american and that instances outside of the US haven’t gotten downvoted for also not caring. I’m trying to say is that Americans downvoted me, and those who are not American upvoted me.

Some people need social networks and a large number of users to create the bubbles of ideology they eventually become trapped in. Some people are capable of doing that all by their lonely self.
goat@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
The irony of your comment is lost on you, and your country paid the price. You’d think that’d wake you up that you were a vocal minority.
But no. Even when all of these hidden trump supporters, who were fully masked, finally come out en masse to explain that they voted for him because of this safe-space echo-chamber attitude you guys adopt–You double down, even on foreigners like myself, who have no stake in any of this. Perhaps your country will improve when you start uniting instead of dividing.

In a way it’s less upsetting reading something so short-sighted, because the chance to stop it has probably passed. We’ll all find out together the massive scope of this problem.
goat@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
Short-sighted? Please. Nothing major changed in the world during 2016. There was Korea, and… That’s bout it. Geopolitically.
EnderMB@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I agree with the sentiment. There are so many “democracy is dead” posts that make me want to scream “motherfucker, it’s dead in America, not worldwide”. The US is one country out of over a hundred. Many of us are just glad that you’ll finally shut the fuck up about your election.
With that said, from a climate perspective it fucks everyone over. From a business perspective the economy tanking will affect markets worldwide. For Ukrainians and Palestinians, there’s a huge shift towards Russia and Israel that will be problematic for decades.
goat@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
It’s americans, they’re always so dramatic. Best just ignore em
I’d say either way it the climate fucks everyone other. Democrats didn’t care for climate change except for virtue signalling, they wouldn’t have done anything, they prefer the status quo instead of acting as opposition. Probably what made them lose. And there’s also Musk, who makes a business from renewable energy, again though, that’s just virtue signalling. Business will probably thrive, honestly, more chance to exploit the working class. Ukraine will be fine, they’re supported by Europe and it’s against the US’s interests to let Europe be independent. Palestine is indeed fucked though, Iran too.
But I’m a goat, I don’t know much except for salt.

I think this post is about climate change, which is absolutely a global problem
goat@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
Except the US won’t do anything to solve their part of climate change, and the change in leadership will not affect their inaction. I think the best bet for solving climate change is a shift to renewable energy and laws and standards for AI and bot use.
Every country also contributes to climate change. It’s not exactly an issue where you can put sole blame on someone. China for instance, emits the most CO2, but not by per capita, and also because they handle the world’s manufacturing and emissions. The Middle East, Oceania and countries below the equator all contribute more than their share of emissions… But that’s also because they’re in a hotter, drier climate.
protist@mander.xyz 1 week ago
If you think solving climate change requires a shower dt to renewable energy and don’t see the difference between US Democratic and Republican Admins, you’re not approaching this from a place of rationality
goat@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
Okay, what have the US Democrats done to prevent emissions? Since from my I’ve seen, they didn’t do a whole lot.

Nuclear energy is the future. Companies like Microsoft are now using entire reactors for their AI server farms.
goat@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
Nuclear energy is a scam devised by mining companies and fossil fuels. That’s not to say it’s not green or not effective. But it takes almost a decade to get a single plant running efficiently and there are multiple risks involved in its operation.
Renewable energy on the other hand is so compact and efficient you can have it on roads, or on your house, or backyard, or really wherever there’s sun and wind. You can be independent with renewable energy, literally go off the grid.
