minus-square@ben_dover@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish2•20 days agothe description would work just fine for the USA too
minus-squarehauilinkfedilinkEnglish1•20 days agoThe fact that folks vote you down without engaging speaks volumes. The npc angry meme comes to mind. From an outside perspective the US definitely ticks those boxes. Maybe someone can explain what doesnt.
minus-square@Demdaru@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish9•20 days agoNobody wants to feed the troll, simple. But eh. Highly militaristic Check Isn’t that strong Eh, just beating every other contestant with either tech, experience or both. Treats it’s people and outsider poorly MMMMM, okay, for EU standards yeah, but for global ones? They’re mid. Obvious problems with governance . . . nnnnnyeaah… Air of superiority Yeah. Except not really. Ya all are dropping it more and more as time goes. Never appearing weak It’s justified tho. So overall, yeah, 3,5/6. 0,5 for treating people part. Defo not sparta…i mean, if they vote Trump and I’ll have to update this but eh.
minus-square@luciferofastora@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglish1•19 days agoThe USA doesn’t have a slave caste making up 80% of its population that it ritually declares war on every year. They aren’t quite as bad as Sparta. Yet.
