I'd rather be able to live my life in comfort, with a lot of vacation days, with job security. Than in some sort of state of nature where I may be out the very next day, because it increases GDP by 3%.
Note that most people here think that at will has no benefits whatsoever. But I can see both sides, and I prefer this side.
Like we are already.
Europe does whatever the US wants. Blow up our pipelines? Yes, master! Sanctions against our primary energy provider? Yes, master. Buying crappy, overpriced LNG? Yes, master!
As if it makes any difference whether you're a vassal to the duke of Normany or Brittany.
It means a great deal, because demand for housing is obviously greater in a capital. If LA were your capital, things would be way worse.
More like the opposite. "Waaah! Clinton bomb Milosevich for us! He is bullying some muslim
terroristsfreedom fighters! We'll be your best friend!" Clinton: omg you guys will really be my friend and praise me?? The might of the US taxpayer is as your disposal!!! "Waaah! Obama, bomb Gaddafi & Assad for us! We don't like them even though they generally obey our rules and Gaddafi even gave up his WMD programs! We will give you the Nobel peace prize again!" Obama: "your wish is my command, euros! everyone knows you're the purest leftists in the world! we all follow your example!"Fuck the EU and fuck the Democrats acting like their free whore mercenaries.
told on yourself, kek.
Idk about Normans or Britons, but Han Chinese will fuck your shit up just as bad as the Imperial Japanese did. Have you seen the videos of them being racist to the African workforce they have in Africa? They don't play by "new age" rules. CCP China would do straight up nazi shit, except with the Han as the Master Race™. The United States is the best caretaker hegemon the world could hope for. It's too bad we are being rotted from the inside by the trannies, faggots, feminists, and racist intersectional coalition of the Woke, aka globohomo. I'd much prefer Russian cultural values to globohomo, though not economic values because I don't want to live in a society dominated by corruption. I think we are already too corrupt as it is, and it could get far worse.
The only thing that matters for a capital is some government jobs. Sacramento is the capital of California, and it's a shithole. I just looked it up. There are 78,000 state workers in Sacramento. That's basically nothing compared to LA's population.
C'mon man, you're going to blame us for that? Right now, the US is threatening Serbia to sanction Russia - saying that it will be perfectly fine with ethnic cleansing if Serbia does not obey. I hope Serbia does not obey its butchers.
It's German critical infrastructure. Ergo, European critical infrastructure.
Then again, you did catch me - because I've been criticizing the Germans for allowing their pipelines to be blown up by the Muricans, while also criticizing crazies who say that Russians blew up their own pipelines.
We are not Africa though. Unfortunately, Africans get abused by everyone who comes across them.
And I actually agree. I just don't think that Russia being victorious in its own sphere will lead to their even worse corruption spreading to us.
I wonder what it is in Russian culture that led to corruption under the tsars, communists and post-communists.
There's also ambassadors and their worthless families. Be happy you don't live in a capital, because those diplomats run red lights with zero consequences.
Corruption is the natural state of human nature. One of the amazing things about the West is how, unlike the rest of the world, it developed an economic system and culture that greatly curtailed corruption. Even on the periphery of the West, in places like South Korea, you still get huge corruption scandals because the culture of the West is much weaker there. Like crazy shit where the South Korean government was being run by a cult, and how Samsung basically owns the country zaibatsu style Japan owes its current state to American influence post-WW2, but it had a wild ride for the first few decades.
"classical liberalism" - the rise of the American spirit from the 1800s through WW2 and the Cold War - is the best economic and cultural force the world has ever seen. It's just too bad that the mutant children of communism, which you see now spawned from the political Left, has successfully managed to rot such a glorious institution and model for the world. American exceptionalism was real. I don't think it's true anymore. The only reason we are staying #1 is that everyone else is shitting the bed as bad or worse than we are.
We have black people who do that here.
It seems that it has less to do with Americanism and more with the traditional Asian Confucian norms that exist, which frown on corruption more than elsewhere. Now why would southern Italy be more corrupt than northern Italy? Maybe it's Protestantism, I don't know, but France is also not very corrupt (by European standards), despite being Catholic.
A great economic and cultural force which creates the conditions for its own destruction is not good at all.
The only one who is even competing is China. Europe is a joke. Russia is a declining great power. And more people worship the rising than the setting sun.
