American Politics Thread V: We're Just Biden Our Time ...

[The New California Republic]

So? I support good policies and those who implement them, JFK and his New Frontier platform also has my support.

Then you'll support Titos Yugoslavia which was built on socialism and for all to be helped out. Hell homelessness was basically impossible and the economy was just fine

Lel:

In the 1980s the Yugoslav economy entered a period of continuous crisis. Between 1979 and 1985 the Yugoslav dinar plunged from 15 to 1,370 to the U.S. dollar, half of the income from exports was used to service the debt, while real net personal income declined by 19.5%. Unemployment rose to 1.3 million job-seekers, and internal debt was estimated at $40 billion.

[...] In 1980 the unemployment rate was at 13.8%, not counting around 1 million workers employed abroad. Deteriorating living conditions during the 1980s caused the Yugoslavian unemployment rate to reach 17 percent, while another 20 percent were underemployed. 60% of the unemployed were under the age of 25.

Dont live in Germany or China then

Germany doesn't have any of the above.

Are you serious? I'm talking about Nazi Germany

[Austreylia]

I hate to break it to you, but playing with murderous dictatorships is like playing Russian Roulette in reverse, with 5/6 chambers loaded with bullets. Even the benevolent ones suppressed protests and murdered political opponents.

In some places, it's necessary.

[Untecna]

Dont live in Germany or China then

Germany isn't authoritarian now...

Hey, if it makes you feel better, right-wing nationalism is making a comeback!

[National Capitalist United States]

Germany doesn't have any of the above.

You do know it doesn't exist anymore... Right?

[Picairn]

Literally the West rn

False equivalencies, the favorite of bad faith posters.

Then why didn't you add the prefix "Nazi" in the first post? Edit: Also it no longer exists.

1980s was a shit time for Yugo besides digitalisation that was quite rad. Earlier years was just fine

You mean that country that hasn't existed in about seven decades?

A non-existent country seems like an odd reason to advise someone to not live in an existent country.

I love Tito as much as the next guy but you have to admit they had problems, ie the persistently high unemployment.

This nation doesn't represent my views thought

I'm lazy. Do you expect me to put the prefix of "Peoples Republic of" ?

Yup, doesn't sound like the economy was "just fine."

But the important thing is that it was a very heterosexual nation.

And it's so much better nowadays! oh wait

Uh huh, well you can keep your eyes and ears covered as long as you like, and keep calling me a bad faith poster if you want. But the reality says otherwise.

Yeah. Although during the 50s-70s it wasn't as much of a problem as when Tito had died.

No shit. I just said the 80s was a dogshit time. 90s was even worse

Unironically yes

I mean, you can continue trying to equate Western democracies with murderous dictatorships all you want, it is a futile effort nonetheless.

[Picairn]

Nazi Germany no longer exists.

Therefore your original point was wrong. The end.

[Odreria]

I hate to break it to you, but some countries fare better under authoritarian dictatorships.

I hate to break it to you, but playing with murderous dictatorships is like playing Russian Roulette in reverse, with 5/6 chambers loaded with bullets. Even the benevolent ones suppressed protests and murdered political opponents.

Lol. Look at how Britain crushed the miners, but yeah Tito was totally the bad guy for killing nationalists, stalinists and anti-communists (read: them as deserved it).

I picked out "suppressing protests" which is true, and you're just dodging it and trying to re-widen the issue.

Okay but who asked

[Drongonia]

Go easy man. Picairn just lost a pub fight with three Australians.
If the mods had let me hang around, I'd have helped him out. But no.
