I don’t think the reason for the setting of the movie was to be taken very serious. It could have been much more realistic in its scenario, but then people would have criticised it for being too “on the nose” or similar, like they did with Don’t look up.

That is the typical internet response whenever that movie is brought up in this context. But that response fails to take into consideration that they only did that after not having done that for hundreds of years until the point where the movie begins.

Not a good example, since that shows the happy ending where powerful countries are finally finishing off the fascist regime after years of war and millions of lives lost. That is the amount of effort and determination it took to rid Germany of its fascists.

No such prospects for the American fascist regime. On the contrary the most powerful countries in the world will happily support it, because it undermines Western dominance.

This is just his oligarch backers dictating his policies though. They will still be around to dictate policy after his demise.

They have the advantage of stupidity. Truth is complex and mostly requires longer sentences to convey all nunces, while lies are simple and can be conveyed by just a couple of words.

“Real cold” and “real hot”. How completely accurate and informative terms which everyone can agree upon what is.

Don’t be ridiculous. Musk is part of the oligarchs controlling Trump.

It’s a Clint Eastwood movie, not a documentary.

When exactly did it used to be? We have archaeological evidence that stone age people kept long distance trade connections. Could you enlighten us as to when this fabled period of history occurred?

Almost as if some rich foreign power has spent decades and billions of rubles to fertilise the ground for them.

Don’t underestimate the lots and lots of Russia money involved.

Not to forget the fact that a lot of trips were planned and bought and paid for before Trump had even won.

Your daily life not being an actual warzone is an extremely low bar to set for things not being bad.

Also the climate claim they made was pure fantasy.

we’re actually on track to stop the worst climate change (thanks to massive Chinese investments)

No, we damn well aren’t.

AI could vastly improve our lives in the future

It could also make it vastly worse in the future, which is the more likely scenario.

Literally everybody else. They don’t lack role models, they just actively seek out the sociopathic assholes who reminds them the most of themselves.

Unfortunately Musk didn’t get bullied out of politics, his office was always meant to expire at the beginning of May. He achieved what he set out to do: dismantling federal government completely to make deruglation, tax avoidance and corruption much easier.

This is just him doing the typical right wing martyrdom whining whenever somebody criticises them.

Doubtful. That would require them having any actual knowledge of what is going on, or even caring about it. If anything it is because something he enacted finally personally affected themselves.

All other countries who adopted metric faced the exact same problem and managed to solve it. The US isn’t unique or exceptional with regards to this in any way.

Unsure who you are referring to.

You are a presidential term too late. In this term he doesn’t have to distract anybody, because he knows he can do whatever he wants without any repercussions. He doesn’t do distractions anymore.
