There's a saying in my country that whatever happens in america will happen here ten years later, so many of us look to america with great concern. — MadWorld1
So you hope for a Trump-like win in your country in ten years? Tax cuts for the rich, a judicial system further skewed to favor the rich and powerful, deregulation and the associated degradation of environment, a severely polarized political body, etc? Good luck with that. — praxis
Did I hit a nerve?
You’re contradicting yourself and in that way I can see a Trumpian affinity, but in reasoning, you say that you’re not a fan of that which you would choose to move towards. — praxis
That was your assertions, not mine. — MadWorld1
Why so hostile? It's not good for your chakra, you know. — MadWorld1
Do you know what a contradiction is? — MadWorld1
They’re not controversial. You haven’t contested them yourself, in fact, which lead me to believe that you accept them. — praxis
I do believe this is a hostile query, good Sir, shame on you. — praxis
you're obviously spinning a narrative (that is controversial). There's nothing inherently wrong with narratives, but for a more nuanced discussion it's often not the way to go. — MadWorld1
I did actually put forth a counterpoint. — MadWorld1
Do you want to know why I would vote for Trump if I where an american? — MadWorld1
Sorry, my bad — MadWorld1
No need to apologize. Be as hostile as you like. We’re both adults. — praxis
If anything I’m parroting a Trumpian narrative. He prides himself on cutting taxes, deregulation, installing conservative Supreme Court judges, and the like. — praxis
No, I would like to know why you would support a “leader” like Trump in your country rather than a leader like Biden. — praxis
It is a fact that this works against the interests of the working class in many significant respects. — praxis
No need to apologize. Be as hostile as you like. We’re both adults.
— praxis
Oh, come on praxis! Both r/woosh and projecting at the same time? Must be some kind of record. — MadWorld1
You're literally changing the spinn on what you said before, literally proving my point in the process. What did you think I meant by "Some of it, sure, but you're obviously spinning a narrative (that is controversial)"? — MadWorld1
decreasing immigration — MadWorld1
consolidating the nuclear family — MadWorld1
restricting late-stage abortion — MadWorld1
This is false. (Although it should be mentioned that MadWorld 1 didn't say that there were no restrictions).But the more urgent question is why doesn’t Scandinavia have any restrictions on late-stage abortion? — praxis
Even with the federal boost, many Americans are suffering financially, and its lapse comes days before August rent or mortgage payments are due. Eviction protections included in earlier congressional packages have also lapsed, raising the prospect of homelessness or dislocation for millions.
Losing the weekly $600 benefit would cause an estimated 41% to spend more than half their income on rent, leaving them at greater risk of evictions, according to an analysis released Thursday by Zillow. More than a quarter of adults said they missed these payments last month or who have slight or no confidence that their household can pay next month's rent or mortgage on time, according to a recent Census Bureau survey.
And nearly 11% of adults are in households where there was either sometimes or often not enough to eat in the last seven days, the survey found.
The r/whoosh continues. :yawn: — praxis
My stating that I was parroting a narrative is indeed an admission of narrative recitation and proves your point, such as it is. Your reading comprehension is excellent. — praxis
So you hope for a Trump-like win in your country in ten years? Tax cuts for the rich, a judicial system further skewed to favor the rich and powerful, deregulation and the associated degradation of environment, a severely polarized political body, etc? Good luck with that. — praxis

You still haven’t disputed any of my allegedly controversial assertions, by the way. — praxis
No, you admitted ignorance of American politics. — praxis
Just did a quick search and it looks like they’ve managed to reduce legal immigration by about 11%. Good enough? I assume you’re cool with bungling illegal immigration, appropriating billions of tax payers dollars (no pesos :sad: ) via executive order (because a minority support the effort), and the longest government shutdown in American history. — praxis
Nuclear families in Scandinavia are disintegrating? Do you guys send your old folks to care facilities also? — praxis
Why do you think Trump would be more successful at this than Biden? But the more urgent question is why doesn’t Scandinavia have any restrictions on late-stage abortion? — praxis
No no, this is one of those manly men whose manliness is threatened by gays and trans people. — Benkei
For some reason this isn't a hot topic in any Nordic country (I could be wrong, but I haven't heard about abortion clinics set on fire or the thing...) — ssu
Detaining someone is making them stay where they are (e.g. stopping them in the street). Forcing someone into a car and driving them somewhere else is an arrest (or a kidnapping). — Michael
Never said that. Ad hominem aside you're assuming my gender :( — MadWorld1
No sense of humour. Check. Obviously a girl then. — Benkei
So you're one of those happily oppressed types that want men to take the lead and can't handle the moral conundrums freedom hands to you so you prefer comfortable repression. Good for you. — Benkei
Come on praxis! At least be original! — MadWorld1
If you think it through you'll see that it makes no sense.
You still haven’t disputed any of my allegedly controversial assertions, by the way.
— praxis
What is there to even respond to?
Not good enough
But the more urgent question is why doesn’t Scandinavia have any restrictions on late-stage abortion?
— praxis
This is false. — ssu
This is false.
— ssu
So why would Madworld be inclined to vote for a candidate based on the criteria that they support late-stage abortion restrictions?
We need a better class of trolls around here. — praxis
It basically boils down to my moral framework, which dictates a bunch of conservative stuff that I feel Trump would better facilitate; decreasing immigration, consolidating the nuclear family, restricting late-stage abortion and the like. — MadWorld1
Virtually every Democrat candidate has declared their unlimited support for extreme late-term abortion, ripping babies straight from the mother’s womb, right up until the very moment of birth.
