Less than a third voted for him, too. Millions are disenfranchised and millions more recognize that there is no correlation between desires and outcomes when it comes to voting.
And these millions that couldn’t even bother to vote expect other countries to come save them?
Canada is also specifically targeting red states with retaliatory tariffs. Somehow I doubt that is the sort of “help for the American people” OP is asking for.
Why not?
Because it would justify any retaliation (including military) from Trump and his sycophants.
Of the people that were of age, were able, and did vote, just over half voted for Trump
Right, over 50% of people who did vote voted for Trump, and unless your arguing that everyone that did not vote did it as a result of voter suppression or intimidation, the % of people that just chose not to vote adds to the % of the population that were fine with this.
If the “popular vote” went to Kamala there would be an argument to be had, but it didn’t. By all available evidence this is what the USA voted for. Why is it the responsibility of other countries to intervene in what people voted for?
assuming voting tallies were accurate.
Provide some evidence that they weren’t and you’ll be far more likely to get support from other countries.
The collapse of the US will not, and is not happening in a vacuum
Correct, and I do not fault any government for not sending money to resistance groups in the US that they could be using to support their own population in the coming economic crash.
This just sounds like more selfish Americentrism, “Why aren’t other countries doing more to help America? Yes, America did it to it’s self, and now if other countries don’t spend considerable resources helping us then they are just being selfish!”
Providing support and resources for movements that are opposed to Project 2025 and the rise of fascism would be nice
So you expect countries with smaller militaries (ie. all of them) to openly fund groups opposing a democratically elected leader?
but at the least how about drawing a distinction between the fascists and anti fascists
We recognize the distinction, but you have to be aware that you are unfortunately a minority in the country. Less than a third of Americans actually voted against this.
Not everyone in Russia supports the war in Ukraine, and I 100% support anyone trying to leave Russia or the Russian military, but Russia as a country can get fucked and needs to collapse for the good of the world.
“nobody wants to work”
True, that’s why you have to pay them to get them to do it.
so many countries and people are saying good luck, get fucked.
What specifically do you think other countries should be doing?
I keep a notepad document of my desktop for making temporary notes on.
It’s that the one that wants me to use it’s AI editor?
Ctrl + Shift + V should paste without formatting, but for some reason Microsoft Office software (Outlook, Word, Publisher) refuses to follow this standard.
You have the worst apologies for being a jerk. In fact you still haven’t.
Correct, I wasn’t apologizing at all. There is so much projection here:
being a jerk
If you don’t like people reflecting your energy don’t give out that energy in the first place.
Sorry I’m not you.
That’s rich from the person who unprompted came in with condescending jabs because a genre they don’t like exists and has some popularity.
This is a conversation about the genre. Where else to talk about the genre.
This is a conversation about classification. Imagine if someone had an AskLemmy post asking “Are tomatoes fruits or vegetables?” and someone replied with “How about we call them bland nutrition? Tomatoes have seeds and are slightly savory. Have you ever tried a strawberry? You can have seeds and have flavour. This feels like the ancient version of empty calories. It will fill your stomach until you find food more worth your time.”
What does that have to do with the question being asked and who cares that this rando doesn’t like tomatoes?
If you wanted to have a side conversation about opinions of the genre and game suggestions you could have had better success if you didn’t come in swinging for no apparent reason.
Okay, I guess I did claim you were taking jabs at people. That totally justifies your unprompted condescending jabs at the genre somehow, and retroactively doesn’t make your initial post sound judgmental at all.
Or we can just say you swayed me in your argument that you weren’t criticising people, just the genre, and the rest of my criticism to your post still stands.
“It wasn’t a personal attack, it was condescending jabs!”
Okay? I never claimed you were attacking anything but the genre, and my point was no one cares and this isn’t the place for it.
I’m even having a pleasant conversation about that right next to yours
Yup, do you notice how the conversation goes better (and you stop receiving downvotes) when you stop with the condescending jabs? Maybe start there next time.
Then you have expressed yourself poorly.
Some of that may come from the fact that you came to a post about “How should we classify X” to complain about how you don’t like X, which isn’t relevant to the classification and no one cares.
It’s a pointed jab at asking if people have tried games I enjoy while being a little condescending of a genre
So you came into a thread talking about the classification of a genre with admittedly the sole purpose of making condescending jabs at people who enjoy said genre, (and notibly not contributing meaningfully to the actual discussion at hand) but you did NOT tell people to stop having fun.
You were just telling them they were having fun wrong.
Glad we cleared that up.
Have any of you ever tried risk of rain or heck even cuphead? You can have rapid gameplay and a point to it. This feels like the modern bathroom book as a game. Fun but just enough to be over when you have finished something more worth your time
If you don’t understand how that paragraph sounds judgmental then I don’t know how to help you.
Mob Hell is a way better descriptor
Oh, I like this one
Action, Adventure, and Action-Adventure are all different genres. I think people will figure it out.
