I always use this TED talk to explain how I feel

Funny to see Obama writing about this

Dude barely did anything on the issue in eight years

But knows how to make it look like he gives a shit

He let my family in Michigan burn for 8 years

I had to respond

ah yeah I've seen that TED before

It's a good one

It's about grassroots, bottom up thinking

Communism is very top down

I'm very bottom up if you know what I mean

that makes me a Capitalist

or a faggot <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

here we fucking go http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/19/news/companies/starbucks-arrests-philadelphia/index.html

"Men arrested at starbucks break their silence" says the fucking headline

💵 💵

If they were actually arrested, they wouldn't be there

well they were taken into custody, taken to the station and then released when starbucks said they didn't want to press charges

arrested but not charged.

wow

fucking "muh oprresiuhn"

Press charges for what? The whole thing seems like stupid drama for me

For reparations of course

Milo MOAB

He was a Party boy and he was not a Conservative

Sexual confessions from broo

Hey, you are the one talking about how you met milo

Yeah he's English / Greek. I'm British American and lived in Greece. Our Paths crossed

HMMMM
<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

Our "paths" crossed

*hmmmmmmmmm*

also *hmmmmmmmm* @ NORK behaviour over the last few weeks

This seems extraordinarily suss tbh

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
You the paths and your swords crossed? Got it

@Reaps
Something for sure happened, we will know in a few decades

Orrrrrrrrrr much, much sooner.

Blame Trump! Oh wait...

just in case I'm somehow first: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qumybkgxo5lb8kx/20180418%20Damore,%20et%20al.%20v.%20Google%20-%20FAC.pdf?dl=0

Your days are numbered goat fucker

Can you be sure he won't manage to rig the election?

I somehow doubt something like that would be beyond him.

No I can't because that's literally what he did during the referendum <:GWnanamiWhenLifeGetsAtYou:398860996535386126>

Yeah

and nobody of importance will care if he does. Sure, other countries will probably condemn it with some flowery words, if discovered, but when has that ever helped.

They should fucking care <:GWnanamiWakeMeUpInside:402195729726046221>

I know they don't

But they're idiots

Losing turkey's massive army to an islamist dictator would be huge for NATO

on paper, yeah, but armies haven't been very relevant in the kind of warfare we're looking at, in the not too far off future.

I don't think anyone wants to actually nuke Turkey, though, so it's hard to say what would happen if he invaded Greece

You'd still lose billions worth of equipment and millions of soldiers

Plus you wouldn't be able to maintain a black sea presence

Yes, short term that might very well be a huge problem, but long term it feels like it would be of little consequence, especially if future wars do not involve soldiers for anything but garrison duty.

Do you think losing Germany or France or Britain would be a problem for NATO, because Turkey has or at least had the biggest army behind America <:GWnanamiWakeMeUpInside:402195729726046221>

Short term, yes. Long term, no. An army will be mostly irrelevant, if you have drone forces doing all the actual "fighting".

Plus restoring the economy to pre-EU fuckery would make things really nasty

and that is what most nations are aiming at.

Yes, but if that's what the Turks want, and it seems to be, then how exactly would democratic nations justify intervening?

Voting fraud hasn't made much of a difference before, in such decisions.

Well they wouldn't I'm just saying that Turkey is important to NATO, they should care about voter fraud and if they don't and leave it to Erdogan they lose way too much strategic ground <:GWnanamiWhenLifeGetsAtYou:398860996535386126>

I'm sure they care, but I sincerely doubt they'll ever do anything about it.

~~Also morality and shit but who gives a fuck about morality in international politics~~

too many unknowns.

IYI is already polling higher than the AKP though not to mention the other parties still exist

How many of his Islamist followers will take up arms against an interventionist force, and how many of them would go the route of terror after Erdogan is defeated

Pretty sure if Aksener is succesful there's going to be so much islamic terror

But that's not a problem for Tuekey because they've been dealing with terror groups for decades

hopefully the people there won't stand for his eventual rigging

Up until the election it's still a parliamentary democracy

So if he just loses his majority

All other parties can join together in condemnation of him

but hoping for outside interference would be naive

I'm not <:GWnanamiWhenLifeGetsAtYou:398860996535386126>

I just want it to not be rigged

And you started with the noone will care thing anyways <:GWnanamiWhenLifeGetsAtYou:398860996535386126>

because that's what history has shown

Bruh I'm not calling for intervention and I never did this whole convo <:GWnanamiWhenLifeGetsAtYou:398860996535386126>

not saying you were, specifically, but it's something that will eventually be brought up if it turns out to be rigged.

There are always factions that expect intervention from the outside, if things turn out to be rigged, because of the observers and such they send.

Yee and nothing will happen if its succesfully rigged for him to win <:pepe_why:378719408367075333> People will be fucking furious though if it deviates from the polls that much and the polls show him to be losing badly

maybe he will ban exit polls? <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Meral Akşener will make my country great again <:pepe_why:378719408367075333>

I wouldn't put it past him <:pepe_why:378719408367075333>

nor would I, to be honest <:pepe_sad:378719408345841664>

this is how you get the Miami bridge colapse

Drones couldn't do shit to keep order in Afghanistan and Iraq. They need soldiers for anything other than shooting down easy, exposed targets.
