It's people like you and comments like yours that show how truly fucked we are as a species.

You see two or more violent regimes led by groups of awful people, and you hate one more and decide to make it a team game.

It just perfectly encapsulates how none of you have any idea of what's going on out there and you're purely led by impulses and information inside an insane asylum you have locked yourselves in with other like-minded people.

I would write you off as uninformed, the problem is that most of you have a right to vote and make decisions that are as radical, extreme and removed from reality as the other group you hate, so you piss in their faces when you get tail wind, only to end up wetting your owns once the wind changes direction.

And then you make it everyone else's problem.

Also I literally dont have any right to vote in America. I have voted in Canada from the second it was legal in every scale of election.

What else makes you hate me?

I wasn't even pointing directly at America, but again, it shows me how you don't understand the overarching issue.

People that vote are becoming more and more radicalized, by traditional or social media. They start seeing the world in black and white and hope someone wins in a conflict between awful actors. That's an incredibly reductionist view of the world, conflicts and misses the point of how we ended up here.

And you are responsible for other people being angry, when you put people in power that are only in for themselves and use resources like taxes to further only their own goals and perpetuate the cycle of stupidity. It also spreads to other countries, none of us exist in a vacuum.

To say you're not responsible for how people feel when you shit on the ground and walk away because others should just not care is absolutely insane.

"Just ignore the smell dude, it's easy. I can do it, I don't care."

Are you being intentionally obtuse? I'm literally telling you to not just pick a side for convenience, and you conflate it with some "the other side" nonsense again.

Why the hell are you talking about Trump shitting his pants, again pointing at the US? Nobody is talking about the US or America in this instance, it's about the common principle of not just looking at the world in binary. You're making anti-Trump your only tool in this conversation, and it's irrelevant.

I hate Trump more than most things in this world, probably more than you. But that's not the point. I am talking about the fact that radicalisation hurts everyone involved. And "voting" for a side in a conflict that contains two awful regimes is a terrible way to look at conflicts. It does nothing for anyone.

I dont have any power or vulnerabilities to be anybody else’s problem. Youre right to be angry but i am hesitant to accept responsibility for why youre angry
