This is oddly prescient...

[-] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 51 points 5 days ago

It’s hilarious how much power America had, both soft and hard, that they freely gave away. Also most of maga will align with pro-life sentiments, but how many babies, American and international, have died due to USAID and social programming cuts

[-] lemonhead2@lemmy.world 35 points 4 days ago

you're confusing "pro life" with actually caring about life. it really should be called "forced birth" or something similar.

[-] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

pro "forced" life they jsut don't say the quiet part out loud.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

the baby and the birth are also irrelevant. it's 'control over women'

"Anti-abortion" has always been a good term, but fanatics like their slogans to sound positive.

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 days ago

The right seems to fundamentally misunderstand how to actually wield soft power to get things they want.

They operate in a world where they want to dictate behavior and have everyone below them fall in line.

[-] zout@fedia.io 1 points 5 days ago

Of course they don't, soft power is soft, which means weak and the bulk of their voters need to feel strong. Even those who understand won't use it because it interferes with the short term goal of getting re-elected.

If they were already born then it doesn't matter to them. Only non-born babies are important. Once you're born, then good luck.

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

It's in line with the interests of pootin. Wild coincidence, isn't it.

[-] Malica@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

They don't care about babies, they only care about punishing women for having sex

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 40 points 5 days ago

It's the best outcome. And the USA has shown their true colours and how they see themselves.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The best outcome would be for reasonable Americans and Russians to prevail and not let the lunatics take everybody down with them.

The government has, TBF. The people can often be wholly against this and myriad other asshole tactics by their "elected" representatives. For the record.

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago

"The assholes we elected to represent us do not represent us." Or on the other hand, maybe they actually do.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

Twice.

I mean I can understand people doing stupid things, but twice ? Nah.

I see it in what seemed like great USA coworkers, the propaganda makes them think EFF yeah America #1. There is sadly some truth to the stereotype of Americans being dumb. Its not that they aren't intelligent, its that they are easily swayed by flags and fireworks.

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

They've been chronically undereducated for over 50 years. The cult of anti-intelectualism has formed a populace unequipped to deal with basic logic and empathy. And an uneducated populace is much easier to control and steal rights and labour from.

The US was always the enemy, they just had hollywood to put up a good show to distract people from USAian atrocities.

this is a big reason why I'm happy Trump won the second time. i am so fucking tired of hegemony, make me less relevant than Spain please

Trump accidentally did exactly what communists had been hoping for for 25 years. we were never gonna give up our power, military acumen, and technological superiority willingly. this guy, though. he really can do anything

[-] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Please don't hurt the feelings of the Spanish, they are still longingly looking back to the glorious old days of colonizing erm exploring foreign lands

[-] story@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

god i wish that were me

[-] the_fuckler@nord.pub 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

My favorite outcome of Maga is showing the world why it's good to collectively pool power against the US and Russia. Blessings on your kingdom and your holdings, fookin hosers

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

It's almost like america isn't the only country/economy on earth or something.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

US diplomats after Bonespurs has his final Big Mac Attack and MAGA disintegrates in orgy of backstabbing: "I don't suppose we can just pretend this all didn't happen?"

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 days ago

I prefer to spell "MAGA" with a "t" on the end. More accurate, honestly.

[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 4 points 5 days ago

b-b-b-but they're not europe :::::::(

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 26 points 5 days ago

We share borders with Greenland and France. Suck it!

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Greenland is part of North America but it has an EU association because Denmark. Kind of sets a precedent for it not being weird that Canada can get one too.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

We also have a (unmonitored and remote) border with Denmark that was ratified after the invasion of Ukraine.

[-] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 days ago

after Canada joins well i guess EU gotta change their name.

[-] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Just make a random field in France a sovereign part of Quebec and its problem solved

[-] Fishy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Maybe something like the North Atlantic Trade Organisation? Or the No Yanks club?
