I hojestly believe we will barely see things get worse. With the ongoing march of tech censorship, it will be very hard to see indeed.
Obama administration caused it by supporting a (far-right) coup of ukraine. They were not fine with russia's retaliation.
They certainly rolled over though, which is what I expect when it comes to Biden's foreign affairs.
Unpopular opinion but I liked Obama. He didn’t fuck anything up that directly effected me and quite frankly that’s all that really matters. My concern with Biden is the aforementioned loss of certain free speech that may happen.
Obamacare was the reason why businesses were so reluctant to hire all throughout the Great Recession. Why? Because businesses did--and still do--everything they could to avoid paying for health insurance. Thus, businesses looked for all kinds of loopholes to avoid having 50 employees at a time. When asked about it, Obama gave his "magic wand" speech to dismiss these concerns.
The highlight for me is when he ended the law that made it illegal for the US government to use propaganda against its own people.
The problem is not that China can do all this if they want, but that everybody seems intent on making sure China can do what they want. The news that China has concentration camps and nearly two million spies out there is met with a collective meh.
Dude, weren't you the one saying there was 100% chance of civil war 3 months ago? Also also the guy who ragequitted the website then made another account because you got too miserable?
I’m white so I’ve never really had a business that was reluctant to hire me. In fact if I recall correctly I believe at one point I brazenly quit a retail job during that administration telling my boss “I’ll have a better job in a week.” Suffice to say I only had to wait roughly two days to get an interview and was hired on the spot for a much easier job that paid twice as much. See, there’s a little secret to getting a job a lot of people seem to be unaware of, but fortunately for you I’m willing to spill the beans. So here it is. All you have to do is dress appropriately, bathe yourself, be polite and professional, and most importantly you actually have to... y’know, apply for jobs. In fact now that I think of it I’m not sure I know anybody personally who could claim to have actually been looking for a job during the Obama administration and say they had trouble. Seems like more of a you problem really.
Most westerners don't care that much about ethnic cleansing/genocide half a world away until it gets turned into a movie. Basic bitch conservatives don't even really care about the Uyigurs, they just needed a clap back to the sports leagues and corporations shilling for China while demonizing the West. We could have mass political imprisonment in the US and the average person would shrug it off as a "hoax" or whatever other bullshit the media would feed them. We aren't destined to be ruled by China, we're destined to become China.
How long do you think it’ll be before that happens?
Yep. That was the way they were working to oust Trump, and they succeeded.
No idea and I don't think anyone does. 2030 seems to be the goal for a lot of the NGOs and internationalists, but Trump threw a wrench in the works. People(myself included) thought he would be the force that pushed this stuff off. Like a late Roman emperor holding things together and repairing some of the damage for a time. The opposite happened, whether he intended or not, and now every force working to strip our freedoms and send us into a dystopia thinks they have the Casus Belli to go all in. The good news is that a lot of that momentum is based off of them deriving the public consciousness from what kicks up hundreds of thousands of likes on Twitter rather than the on the ground reality. The bad news is it seems like the average person just doesn't care about the real issues, how much of Trump's support are people who think this will all tie into a nice Hollywood ending with the hero saving them all? They lack the will and/or purpose to fight for themselves and their people. And the few who do are unable to organize and are surrounded by speds and fags who don't actually believe in the ideals they argue about(see: the altright, conspiracy theorists, the far left).
Won't work due to mask mandate and Boomers increasingly worried about their health. Businesses losing a whole quarter, perhaps another at minimum is too much of a setback for them, especially when BLM can randomly destroy a store with immunity to the legal consequences.
