I like the idea but I'm skeptical. Not sure how it'll work, but any GPS app I use regularly messes up the speed limit, be it due to construction (or sudden lack of) or just 2 roads being too close and me being on the other one.

And when reading signs with cameras, there are some speed limit signs with additional information underneath specifying a time or anything really.

And then finally all the times when the signs are barely readable or even just wrong. I legit can't count how many times I've seen a speed limit sign 10 meters before a series of junctions with an end of speed limit at the end of this ordeal, like that's not how this works, what the hell?

Edit: Just remembered the extremely silly cases of speedlimits. Once saw a 10km/h limit in a parking house when going up hill to the seconds floor. Just for shits and giggles I tried it, I almost went backwards trying to fight gravity, so glad no-one was there at the time, also just took forever.

Is the heroin/heroine pun intentional? Cus god damn, it made me spit out xD

Ey, cheers mate, refreshing to get a composed response!

I'd argue there are more sides than just NATO vs China and friends. India often fucks over both sides because both refuse to acknowledge it and its concerns for example. It saddens me that such counties don't give a shit, but I can't really fault them too much considering we do the same to them. And such rhetoric only serves as fuel for them to mock us.

You're definitely right that we also need military might to protect our values, as a European I'm disgusted by our inactivity and reliance on the US. On the subject of cute counties, I'd argue Finland isn't one of em, I'd also add Sweeden just for military reasons while I'm at it. Both have strong militaries with plenty of reserves/mobilization potential, Finland even has nuclear ready bunkers under every major city. So glad we got em in NATO now, hope the rest of Europe catches up soon.

And not gonna lie, as much as I shit on America, it's largely because I'm also sacred. The US is on a slippery slope due to decades of ignorance and if the US goes to shit it's gonna have far and wide consequences around the globe. I hope the Trump situation will act as a wake up call for us in Europe, and we'll get our shit together, not only to be self sufficient, but hopefully emerge as a genuine ally for peace and freedom that reaches beyond diplomacy. If America falls and Europe doesn't get its shit together, that's good bye for Ukraine and then what? That would set a new standard, a world in which might makes right... No even an attempt at rule of law.

President ≠ King

As an elected civil servant, if something is legal should be only one of the things the president should consider before doing anything.

As a reminder to sleep again, by this time sleep gay?

Is this really what makes a fascist? Almost every party in democratic world uses similar rhetorics.

Nope, predominantly an American quote in the 21st century. And while it doesn't necessarily make you a fascists, it does check the extreme tribalism flag. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_are_either_with_us,_or_against_us

This is pretty much 99% of human history.

Correct, and modern democracies tried their best to change course. Some more successfully than others. If you want successful examples look at Finland, those guys played a significant role in many peace treaties, including the famous European peace. And here's the kicker, FOR NOTHING IN RETURN. Or rather no immediate monetary or political gain.

and what to tell about single party systems, like China? Do you call them fascist too?

YES, quite literally and unironically YES! Like come on? "Communism with Chinese Characteristics"? We're just a couple word plays away from "National Socialism". The Chinese government is actively conducting ethnic cleansing and jailing anybody who isn't Chinese enough. Come on!

I do not feel forced to watch "Top gun" or eat McDonalds

At this point I'm starting to feel you're a troll, but hey, it's fun, so let's keep going xD I was more referring to America's foreign policy here.

thanks god they did not kill Bernie Sanders

Again, mainly meant foreign policy. However Burnie doesn't get off free either. The democrats didn't even give him a chance to be a presidential candidate despite being the crowd favorite. The guy's getting silenced.

like any other fucking country, just look at Chinese schools

Not every country, again, look at Finland, Estonia or the Netherlands. Great examples of an education system that respect the people's freedoms. And while most other European countries have something fucked up, non are anywhere near "KNEEL FOR THE FLAG!" level.

still, rather weird tradition or aesthetics, not a fascism, for fuck's sake

Weird esthetics? Maybe because the esthetic invokes the other counties that did this which most were under either fascism or communism. Like sure, it doesn't necessarily make you fascists, but role-playing as one every morning is still fucking suspicious.

they behave like assholes at worst, still millions of foreign people dream about living in USA

Look in a mirror. The US treats everyone else like a terrorist before they even step foot into the country. And yes, half the people that didn't go to America yet still think it's amazing. America is really good at advertising. If America doesn't want foreigners to dream about it, maybe it could stop advertising it self as the only valid way of life.

This sucks indeed, but this is not inherent to USA, rather to police in general.

Kinda, there are some bad apples in other counties too, like France for example. But the US still stands proud and tall for having one of the worst. Literally no other county arrest more people per capita than American. Not even your favorite China. Also having snipers at every protest? Fucking really? Direct military hand downs?

You say my "accusations", but most of what I said are statements you didn't even negate, just said that some of em don't necessarily make the US fascist and the rest you renamed to "imperialism", which IS NOT BETTER! The only difference is that imperialism doesn't need to include nationalism, it's an umbrella term, under which fascism falls under!

But boy, it's funny you'd mention the Russian shithole, considering the US seems rather proactively aiming towards it. The republicans especially seem to have em as their role model. If things keep changing the way they have been for the last 20 years, I give it tops another 30 years before the only thing that makes America better than Russia will be the running water. Maybe faster if the supreme courts keeps up the pace it demonstrated the last 2 weeks.

The "grab em by the pussy" guy, the person to proudly boast about being able to look at young girls and publicly talking about his daughter in a sexual manner, just full on fantasizing about her on live television, IS A SERIAL RAPIST?!? Never would have guessed, totally came out of the blue.

Anybody supporting this monster is a blissful moron that doesn't even listen to what their great leader says, or is equally as fucking repulsive.

Before I get to your question...that's a really weird definition. I mean it excludes most stereotypical fascist regimes, like nazi Germany for example. A communist revolution wasn't really on their list of fears or even concerns. In Weimar Germany they even shared voters. Most communist party voters became nazi voters once they became a thing, they run on the same platform. It's in the bloody name, Nazi = National Socialism. This definition seems to deliberately only target America, the US is the only one that goes fucking ape-shit when socialism let alone communist is at all mentioned.

Anyways, to your question. We weren't really talking about presidents specifically, tho most of them fit the bill. Both democrats and republicans say the fucking "you're with me or against me" shit, like really??? The US generally has a rich history of violently shutting down competing powers, be it domestic or abroad (a 2 party system IS NOT natural for a democracy!). American imperialist wars are pretty much build on forcefully spreading American culture at any cost (especially if it involves killing anybody claiming to be socialist or not christian). From a young age US citizens are indoctrinated, the shit where they swear loyalty to the flag every morning is creepy as fuck, also the flash everywhere. Like christ, just look at how Americans treat foreigners. Didn't even mention the police yet...

It's authoritarian tribalism based on nationality. In other words the forced elimination of opposition, because of the belief in one's superiority. And since one's superiority derives from their nationality, it inevitably has to include some traditional values. Any in fighting is just arguing over the meaning of their nationality. I don't understand what people don't understand or how they keep getting it wrong.

Right, and the heroic Soviets also fought to combat the evil that were the Nazis, because they were natural enemies, no other reason no... /s (just in case it wasn't obvious.)

Being a facist doesn't stop you from fighting other fascists, especially when those other fascists are fucking with your shit. The only difference until now was that the two parties managed to deadlock each other needing the support of an uncaring populace to gain total power. Once one ultimately wins, this whole "pillar of democracy" thing is over. Having literally only 2 parties for centuries is a bad omen for democracy.

Have you read Trump's plan for his next turn? The fucker wants to go through with hefty important taxes on EVERYTHING (that's essentially putting sanctions on the US lol). Cheap groceries aren't a good prediction for a Trump term. I'd suggest listening to what he's saying. There's more that makes me think that cheap things aren't around the corner, the fucker has many things he wants to spend for, without any plans for increasing the budget.

I agree that it is heartbreaking that the democrats keep pushing candidates no one wants. But no amount of incompetence is a reason to give fascism a try. I don't live in America, but considering they run this joint, I'd hate for it to become a shitier Russia.

Biden is definitely not fit to do anything him self, but he's surrounded by good advisers and he actually fucking listens to them. Under his term not nearly as many horrific things happened as under trump. Trump's an immediate menace to the world order as we know it. I find it really ironic how he claims to be pro American, but actively destroys the reasons people look up to America and let it have so much influence in the first place.
