    Come on. If you had all the money in the world you’d probably build one too, tbh. I know i would. I would build a freaking underground network like extra homes. It would be awesome

    but yeah, zuck probably is doing it for evil reasons.

    Because they think a bunker will help them. Eventually people will get so pissed off that even the oligarchs own guards are a risk to them.

    Why is a horde of geese raising the usaian flag? Because usaians aren’t doing s***

    In fact, they elected a rapist to president and their reaction to a major pedophile conspiracy being uncovered in their government is to seethe on the interwebs

    • The response from overseas is sort of confusing. He’s a dictator. He doesn’t need to be voted for. That’s not how being a dictator works. Dictators always say that they won the vote, but they didn’t. We have an electoral college which was established when black men won their right to vote, so we didn’t elect our presidents in the past, not even under “normal” circumstances before the establishment of this regime. Our political system hasn’t ever worked the way you imagine, at least not to my knowledge. Can you explain more how you imagine elections work? (said in good faith)

        The ‘response from overseas’ comes from a decade of watching trump politics gain favour in the US. Massive rallies about making America great again, and taking your country back rhetorics, even after all the Epstein stuff came about, the religion of trump flourished in America.

        Sure, you can claim that he’s a dictator now. But only because americans have allowed him to become one. That’s why the overall sentiment from the rest of the world is negative. Americans made this monster, and now it’s the world that has to deal with his bullshit.

        That’s not to say america wasn’t already fucking everyone else over, that’s the American way and has been happening since they discovered stars and put them on fabric. But Trump has exacerbated that issue, and the American people are complicit for supporting the growth of such a monster; it’s fresh to Americans, because now even the American people are on the receiving end. But for the rest of us, this is the same story just worse.

        I’m not saying this applies to you personally btw, I’m just trying to share the honest sentiment around Americans as a whole. There will undoubtedly be exceptions to the rule, but from an overseas perspective, there’s been nowhere near enough.

          Those are on TV (edit: or on the news). Those rallies aren’t “massive” according to the reports I’ve read, and they do not take place in my part of the country, so I have no idea how big they really are. I’ve read reports of smallish crowds, rather than the large crowds Trump reports. One of us is probably believing propaganda, but I have no idea which one.

          Sure, you can claim that he’s a dictator now. But only because americans have allowed him to become one.

          That isn’t how power works in my country.

          American people are complicit for supporting the growth of such a monster;

          If you have a plan on how we should free ourselves, I’m all ears.

          Do you visit here often? What are you basing this opinion on?

            Ah so you weren’t interested in the overseas sentiment at all, you’re just looking to excuse yourself from the culpability.

            Atleast we know which category you fit in I guess.

            • …what? No. I’m genuinely asking how you came to this conclusion. It seems like you got here by viewing propaganda and not by talking to Americans in real life. I don’t want to make that assumption about you, and that’s why I’m asking for clarity. I didn’t vote for Trump. My part of the country holds massive rallies against him, and I know they’re massive because I can see them with my eyes.

              How did you come to this conclusion? Was it from reading the news? Watching TV? Talking to people? Do you know a lot of American Trump supporters? I know a few of them, but I wouldn’t say they are the majority, they are mostly very old people who watch Fox News all day and are in mental decline. I don’t know these people in a social context. I do not see the world from the news reflected in my day to day. Support for Trump is, from my perspective, entirely manufactured by the media.

              edit: Even if it wasn’t… we can’t vote him out, and we couldn’t vote him in. We can’t meaningfully vote for the president.

              And if you hate Trump so much, how come that’s my fault and not Trumps? How come you let Trump into your country and let him shake hands with your leaders, but you won’t let me seek asylum?

      • He purchased a shit ton of land there and the locals didn’t like it a few years ago. I’m not up to date on what’s going on now but I did want to share that he had some fuckass picture of himself with a phat ass paddleboarding slathered in sunscreen that was lightly memed although it didn’t catch on, and the theory was that he did it so that when you google Zuckerberg Hawai’i that picture would show up instead of his land grab. Thought that was interesting.

    Zuck:

    My actions might lead to the most anti social behavior ever conceived including: genocide; cataclysm; and living in a hole in the ground

    My mom:

    “Likes anti-trans propaganda on Facebook”

  • It would be so fucking funny if nuclear war, instead of some intercontinental nightmare, was just an american civil war.

    Well, technically it would still be bad news, but just think about irony…
