There’s nothing wrong with it. The user you’re replying to is the only thing worse than a paid shill. An unpaid shill. Check out their post history and their identical alt accounts on other instances. Fully half the time of you see incredibly stupid shit anywhere on Lemmy… it’s them.
OP is spot on! I’m sure Putin will be able to see Ukraines victory from whatever hole he’s hiding in.
Good.
Higher Ed in red states is at risk. Of course, that’s the outcome that red states vote for. Oh no! It’s the completely predictable consequences of our very own actions!
If you want to propose that the US should have better healthcare and other social safety nets, you’ll get no argument from me. If you’d like to propose that the wealthiest should pay for these things via taxes (or other lawful disincentives), I’ll agree with that too.
But depending on how left or right you consider yourself then a significantly reduced, government sponsored, retirement age is a more complicated question. Someone on the right might tell you that an earlier retirement is a reward for the effort and ingenuity you expended through your life. Likewise, someone on the left might argue that you have a responsibility to be a productive member of society for as long as you are able. Even moreso if you are particularly talented. I, personally, believe that there is plenty of room for diversity of outcome without compromising equality of opportunity.
My only point in my first couple comments was more than a decade of government retirement is not only possible but also likely for anyone in the US that makes it through their heart-attack years in their 50s, and that retirement earlier than that is possible based on education, career, choices, and luck. As illustrated by the fact that just over 50% of the US population is retired at 55. Everything after that was just antagonizing a troll. Which I find hilarious. YMMV.
You should have stuck with the links. Those are at least interesting. But throwing a sad, foot-stomping, hissy at being correctly identified as a tankie troll is just sad. The best trolls are either completely over-the-top or much more subtle about it.
Anyway, best of luck in your future trolling endeavors!
You’re giving the above commenter WAY to much credit. A very brief review of their post history will quickly conclude that the above commenter is a troll who deserves to be, and rightfully should to be, responded to in kind. Moreover, in a media predicted on written communication it’s the responsibility of said troll to state their case clearly. If they fail to do so, they should be a better troll.
Awwwwh, don’t have a link for hurt feelings huh? I accept your apology. 😂🤣😂
Did you expect that younger generations would just inherit all their wealth? I’d have thought that this kind of landed gentry outlook wouldn’t be what a tankie like yourself would promote. Instead, due to the linear nature of time, young people of every country in every stage of human history generally have less wealth than their elders. Because they’ve had less time to accumulate it. What part of that are you struggling with?
If you want the government to pay for your “retirement” then the retirement age is 66. But you can retire literally whenever you want as soon as you have the resources. Which might be in your late 40s or early 50s depending on education, career, and personal goals.
Also keep in mind that “life expectancy” is an average that is reduced by men that die from car accidents, strokes, and whatever else much earlier than 66. The life expectancy of a 60 year old male in the US is 80.
For the same reason they have Strava, and for that we thank them.
So OPs only post, ever, is to bitch about what other people post? Just post interesting stuff from your country instead of complaining that the rest of us don’t psychically follow your very own imaginary rules you made up yourself.
The ships traveled close to Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, but never entered U.S. territorial waters. The US threatened to nuke no one . No scene was caused. In other news…
Just because you say it louder and more desperately doesn’t make it true 😂🤣🤣.
The civil war was fought and won.
I’m glad you feel that way. Because, by your own rule of might Taiwan is an independent country since mainland Taiwan can’t take the island. It’s been 75 years. The war is over. Get over it. You lost. Taiwans sovereignty has been decided and must be protected.
Anyway, best of luck in your future astroturfing endeavors. Maybe try and do better than impotent threats and accusations.
This is a lot of words and still you completely botch the analogy. Instead, you might suppose that the Confederacy had prevailed in their rebellion and that the democratically elected President Lincoln and the remaining Northern army had fled.
In reality, the government of Taiwan is the real “China”. Mainland Taiwan is populated by angry traitors.
Your position is built entirely on propaganda, false beliefs, and ignorance.
😂🤣😂 Classic. I’d link you to the Wikipedia article for your own education, but I’m sure that’s blocked for you.
Wait. You think that Henry Kissinger, Nixon cabinet member, perpetrator of coups, and war criminal is a more reasonable US politician?
Why anyone gives a shit about Kissinger is beyond me. Dennis Rodman is more relevant in the US today.
If you’re to much of a little bitch to just accept the community note about what you really are then you’ll never rise up and claim the means of production. 😂🤣😂
