‘They’ do want it to happen. Ordinary USians are gettng uppity and need to be taken down a peg.
The global elite don’t really need anything specific from the US anymore. For a brief moment, the world needed our higher education system, which is why anyone under 60 who went to grad school had lots of non-US folks in their cohorts. Those folks have gone back home in large part so there are plenty of skilled experts in critical fields internationally.
The US has no remaining unique resources, be they skilled people or natural resources. So we need to be dealt with since many of us still hold on to quaint notions like ‘freedom’, ‘autonomy’ and ‘living wage’.

Stop them? Or drop subtle hints as to how to do it correctly and teach some basic physics at the same time?

The great flood that left no evidence behind and all large animals were rescued by a guy who built a boat? The one that also left behind no genetic evidence of such a catastrophic population bottleneck? That great flood?

I hope Zelensky goes back to comedy after his political career. So much source material!

Your experience is valid, as it happened to you and none of us in this thread were there probably anyway.
In my experience, friends don’t end friendships over homophobia. They just suddenly become very busy and they have less and less time to spend with the person who comes out as bi.
‘Bi erasure’ is such a common phenomenon that we invented the term ‘bi erasure’.

Thank you for introducing me to the term ‘thundercunt’. It has me thinking of cosplay ideas.
However, Siri and notifications volume is controlled separately from media volume on iOS.
You can also set a repeating reminder to call Apple a bunch of throbbing thundercunts, perhaps weekly? Which is still a very important thing to do.

I have to agree here. Injecting ‘nuance’ is an easy way to derail a discussion so that the obvious harms of a thing get obscured. The discussion devolves into emotional reactions to some aspect of the ‘nuance’ and the original point is lost. And nothing changes, which suits the powers that be just fine.
Nuance is a powerful tool for maintaining the status quo by disrupting the conversation. Leave the nuance to the academics.
Effective messaging campaigns require message discipline and dead simple provocative points repeated endlessly for a generation or two to effect change, usually.

I really wanted to see where this was going. The obvious flirtation, the passive-aggressive challenge, it was really building to something.
