I’m not from the US - that’s why I’m asking. Thanks for the insights into the lives of US citizens. It’s even sadder than I thought. But rest assured: it’s not like this everywhere in the world. Not yet at least and the rest of the world just needs to see that your horrible government doesn’t force your way of life on everyone - because that’s what Trump and his criminal crew want.
True. But what I mean above all is that the US is now more unpredictable in terms of foreign policy than ever before.
By rogue state, I mean a country that poses a threat to world peace due to its unstable and dangerous government.
As a rule, the following criteria are usually applied, almost all of which the USA now fulfills:
What a surprise…
But that still doesn’t explain why the prosecution never brought criminal charges, even though that would not have overturned the civil judgment in the unlikely event of an acquittal - I can only explain that by corruption.
Oh man, that can’t be true. I’m so sorry for you that you’re surrounded by such ignorant people. It must be hell that nobody really listens to you. I’m really sorry for decent people like yourself and probably many of your colleagues, who I’m sure are good people in themselves. Tell them that the US is now an ally of Russia - maybe they’ll understand.
Very understandable, especially since the president still owes your state half a billion dollars for massive financial fraud - for which he didn’t even go to prison. What actually happened there?
Good luck with the gardens. I’ve never really been a fan of US gun laws, but now it all seems strangely sensible.
Also pretty crooked these days
What European allies? Here in Europe, there is hardly anyone left who still sees Trump’s USA as an ally. Embezzling millions from aid organizations intended for starving children doesn’t go down too well here either.
Yes, there are certainly many who are just inherently evil, but I don’t think that’s the majority. I think most of them are like Eichmann: objectively speaking, of course, they are also evil, but they don’t get satisfaction from their cruelty. They simply don’t question what they’re told because it’s their job - and that’s enough of an excuse for them towards others and also towards themselves. Doesn’t make them any less guilty, though, I would say.
If I were to carry out this order, I would refuse. Who cares whether she’s “legal” or not - deporting a sick child is simply inhumane. Those goddam monsters!
But yes, that’s quite right. The reign of terror in Hitler’s Third Reich was also only possible with those who carried out orders and clung to the idea that they were not responsible. Hannah Arendt described all this very well in “The Banality of Evil”.
You can’t be serious.
